Wow...I'm actually surprised I finished this in around a week! I guess I just ended up writing the beginning and everything flowed from there. Sorry if this is a little weak, too. I'm just really building up for what's going to happen in the next two chapters (it was originally going to be one, but the outline was too long so I had to split it).
Fans of "the Office" will most definitely know what I'm setting up in this chapter. ;P
If anyone here lives in the Los Angeles area and is going to Anime Expo, look for me! I'll be there tomorrow and possibly Saturday! I'll be apron!Lithuania. I'll be posting some pics on my dA. :3 If you talk to me, theeeeeeeen uhhh, I don't really know. You get a free oneshot? xD
Thanks for all the reviews and alerts and favs, guys! You rock!

Chapter 8
Just as things were getting back to normal for Toris things just ended up getting worse.
"...so then, like, that bitch told me that the dress totally wouldn't fit just because I didn't have tits! I saw her put on the dress and I was like, 'Hey, you look sooooo un-fabulous in that', and then she was like, 'No way!', and then I was like, 'Uh huh!', and then I just grabbed the dress out of her hands and ran away as fast as I could! Doesn't it look totally awesome on me, Liet?"
Feliks twirled around in his little knee-length (something that actually reached to his knees) red dress. There was a white bow wrapped around his waist and heart-shaped clips in his hair.
"I-I think it does," Toris said. "That girl must've been lying."
"Totally, right?" Feliks sat on the counter in the little kitchen in the office. Today was Casual Monday, which meant that everyone could basically wear anything.
Feliks examined his green nails and looked over at Toris, at his jeans and old purple college jacket. "You, like, need a makeover. Badly, Liet. I'm totally gonna take you shopping one day."
Toris smiled and leaned on the counter next to him. "Sure. I think I'll like that."
Feliks wrapped his arms around Toris' neck and pulled him close. "Just think! We can totally go to the Galleria and go shopping and have so much—"
"Ah! Hello, Toris!"
Ivan sauntered in the room, going over to the counter and pouring himself a cup of coffee. Feliks slipped his arms off.
"Hey, Ivan, what's up?" Toris asked.
"Ah, nothing much. Just the usual, you know? You look very happy."
"Yeah, well, it's Friday. The weekend's tomorrow."
"Excited for Nantucket, da?" Ivan sipped his coffee.
"Nantucket? Why, are we going there for a meeting or something?"
"Nope! Alfred's birthday is on Monday, and he invites us over to his family's house in Nantucket every year. It's right next to the beach. You better bring some swimwear. And sunscreen."
"That sounds really cool, Ivan." Toris smiled.
"Maybe once we're there, we could play some volleyball or something—"
"Oh...I don't play volleyball..."
"That's alright, I can teach you!"
"Great! I'm looking forward to it, Ivan! Thanks a lot!"
"You're welcome, Toris." Ivan pat Toris' head and briefly glared at Feliks. He smiled again and walked out.
"Wow, that was weird," Toris said. "What did you do to piss him off?"
Feliks was still glaring at the door, wanting his gaze to crush the Russian that sat behind it.
"Oh, I know." He hopped off the counter. "Love to talk, Toris, but my break is up, and I have some things to look after."
"Oh...sure thing, Feliks..."
Toris tried not to stare at Feliks' ass as he walked away.
"So, you want an ice cream cake with mint chocolate chip, 'America'-themed decorations, aaaaand a Miley Cyrus piñata." Arthur jotted everything down on his notes.
"And fireworks." Alfred grinned. "Don't forget the fireworks."
Arthur sighed and put down the pad. "Alfred, those are illegal in Massachusetts."
"Arthur, we've had them every freakin' year." Alfred pouted. "Pleeeeease, Arthur, I'm only twenty-six once."
Arthur rolled his eyes.
"Oh! Oh! Check this out!"
"What is it now?"
Arthur went over to Alfred's side of the desk. "I'm just seeing an Excel spreadsheet..." Which looked very empty.
"Ooops!" Alfred clicked on the Skype tab and on the screen came the inside of Alfred's garage (which was very messy) and in the center of the garage was a shiny, gorgeous silver—
"Blimey! Is that a Ferrari, Al?" Arthur squinted at the screen.
"Yep! Uncle Ed's 2000 Ferrari 550 Maranello came in yesterday! I can't wait to drive it!"
"How on earth did you get your uncle's Ferrari?"
"He died!"
"Oh." Alfred sounded unnaturally happy about that. "Why do you have a webcam on it?"
Alfred gasped. "I don't want people to steal it, Artie! It's such an awesome car! Besides, my uncle bought it for 220,000 bucks!"
Arthur gaped. "Are you serious?"
"Uhh, duh! How could I ever let someone steal this?"
Arthur put his hand on his face. "That's not what I meant."
Alfred raised an eyebrow, but looked back at the screen. "Well, no one's tried to get in the garage yet. There'll probably be robbers at night." He clicked back to the spreadsheet. "Hey, do you think that Toris and Feliks have had sex?"
If Arthur had been drinking something, he would have spit it out. "WHAT?"
Alfred shrugged. "Just wondering. Toris got a boner for him after all, and you know how Feliks likes him."
"You know that Feliks did not mean for you to overhear that. It was private."
"Yeah, well, if he did, he could've been a lot more quiet about it. I don't think he has an inside voice."
"He doesn't know that we know, Al. We should just keep it to ourselves."
Alfred froze, biting his bottom lip.
"Umm..."
"Oh shit, Alfred, you wouldn't—"
Alfred grimaced. "Kinda."
Toris tapped the vending machine, waiting for the Coke to come out. It was already eleven, but he was somehow craving caffeine.
It finally came out with a clang and Toris bent down to pick it up.
"What's up, boner-ific?"
"AH!"
Toris whirled around, but ended up tripping over his feet and falling down.
Yong Soo grinned at him from a nearby table, along with Antonio and Frances.
"Wh-what did you just call me?"
"Boner-ific," Yong Soo said, grinning wider. Antonio snorted.
"H-Hey, th-that's sexual harassment!" Toris countered...although he wasn't quite sure that it was...
"Was it sexual harassment when Feliks barely touched you and you got hard for him?" Antonio sneered. Francis burst out laughing.
Toris' face went from red to paper white. "Wh-wh-what? Where did you hear something like that?"
"Alfred," Antonio said simply. "He said Feliks shouted it after the laser tag game."
Toris gaped and his eyes widened in horror. "WHAT?"
"He doesn't deny it!" Francis pointed out. Antonio nodded.
"Yes, I do!" Toris exclaimed. "That never happened!" He scrambled to his feet. "I'm going to talk to Feliks about this. He shouldn't be spreading lies like this."
Yong Soo smiled. "Suuuuuure." Antonio and Frances laughed together.
Toris stormed out of the break room, wanting nothing more than to punch Feliks' face in. How could he? He knew how Toris felt about that. Hell, it was his suggestion to keep the subject quiet anyways. But then he had to blurt it out to everyone! That little monster. The sweet butterflies in his stomach quickly turned into angry wasps.
Toris fumed his way through the annex and the kitchen before entering the main office.
"Feliks—"
His anger abated slightly when he saw the unusual scene. Eduard fiddled around with Ivan's computer while Feliks whispered something to him. Ivan was nowhere to be seen. This did not look good.
Toris looked to the right and immediately saw Raivis staring intently at the bathroom door.
"Raivis, what're you doing here?"
The poor man jumped. "Ah! N-nothing, Toris. N-nothing."
Toris raised an eyebrow, but went over to Eduard and Feliks. Ivan's computer screen looked normal.
"What're you two doing?"
"Give me the flash drive," Eduard whispered.
Feliks nodded and handed it to him. Eduard inserted it into the computer and clicked until he got to Feliks' flash drive. There were a number of files involving clients, but most of them were pictures of clothes.
"What's the program called again?" Feliks asked.
"I called it WARSAW."
"That's waaaay too obvious! Here—" Feliks stole the keyboard away from Eduard and changed the name of the file to "MOSCOW".
"Nice. Here goes nothing."
Eduard opened the file and the computer screen went black.
Toris gasped. "What did you do?"
Feliks yelped and turned around. "H-hey, Toris!" He smiled awkwardly. "Wh-what's up?"
"His computer!" Toris took the back of Eduard's chair and slid him across the room.
"Ahhh!" Eduard crashed into the wall, gripping the armrests of the chair for his life.
"Ed!"
"Raivis, just stay there for cover!"
"What's your problem?" Feliks demanded, crossing his arms.
"I should ask the same for you!" Toris' hand clenched into a fist. "Feliks, how could you?"
Feliks blinked. "What? Toris, what are you—?"
"He's coming! He's coming!" Raivis said. He ran over to his desk.
Before Toris could talk to him more, Feliks rushed over to his, and Eduard put the chair back in place and went over to the water cooler.
The kitchen door opened and out stepped Ivan.
"Ah! Oh, Toris, you're an odd sight around my desk," he said. He smiled. "What brings you here?"
"Oh—oh, uhh, n-nothing—"
Ivan sat down and frowned. "Why is my computer screen black?" he asked. He pressed the space button and white writing appeared on the screen, saying:
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
YOUR CAPITAL WILL BECOME WARSAW
And it continued.
Ivan blinked. Toris shuddered as a dark aura settled over him.
"I wonder who would do something like this. Ed-uard?"
Eduard spit out his water on Raivis, who whined.
"S-sorry, R-raivis. U-umm, what did you want, Ivan?"
There was a darker shade to Ivan's smile, and his eyes gleamed.
"Something is wrong with my computer. I was hoping you knew how to help me."
"O-of course! I'm not the office nerd for nothing!" Eduard pushed his glasses up his nose, as he tended to do in a serious situation like this, and went over to Ivan and Toris.
"Do you know what's wrong with this? I hope it's not a virus."
"I...might know something."
Toris looked over Ivan's shoulder. Eduard typed on the keyboard with shaking fingers. And as Toris saw what he typed, he was sure why.
Back off Ivan or I'll kick your Russki ass.
Eduard gulped and pressed the "enter" key. The computer screen returned to the normal desktop—a picture of a smiling Ivan and his sisters in a field of sunflowers.
A line formed between Ivan's eyes, but his smile shone. He got up from his desk and went over to Feliks, who immediately wiped the smirk off his face.
"Ahh, Feliks?"
Feliks looked up, his smile as bright as Ivan's. "Yeeeees?" he said in a sing-song voice.
"Did you have anything to do with the little problem going on with my computer?"
Feliks tilted his head to the side. "What? No. What makes you think it was me?"
"Well, screen said something about Warsaw." Ivan leaned on the desk. "You are Polish after all."
"Yeah, that wasn't, like, me," Feliks said. "And get off my desk. You're infecting it with your creepiness."
Ivan twisted his mouth but blinked and went back to his desk. Feliks glared at him the entire time.
Toris glanced between Ivan and Feliks and headed back to his desk. What on earth made those two hate each other so much?
"Toris!"
Alfred came his way, smiling. "Ah, can you meet me in my office please? There're a few things that I want to talk to you about."
"Oh...sure, Alfred."
Two pairs of eyes—one green, one violet—watched him as he went inside Alfred's office.
"Ve. Sorry, Ludwig, I have to get back to work." Feliciano pecked his cheek and went back to the annex.
Ludwig watched him as he left, wondering. They had been dating for well over three years. Maybe it was time for them to take the next level...
"You."
Ludwig rolled his eyes at the man across from him. "What is it, Lovino?"
"You know what it is." The Italian glared at him with wolfish amber eyes. "You and my brother."
Ludwig sighed. "Lovino, I already told you I don't care about the fact that you don't approve of me and your brother. It's already been three years."
"I'm not mad at you because of that."
Ludwig blinked, capping his pen. "Then, why are you glaring at me like that?"
"You. You make my brother whiny. He complains about you."
"Oh. That's it?" Ludwig knew that Feliciano had to complain about him to someone.
"Yes. He's tired of being your boyfriend."
"Wait a minute, what? Why would he say that?" On all over their dates, Feliciano seemed more than happy to be with Ludwig, and Feliciano was a really, really bad liar.
"Don't you see, you moron?" Lovino's voice dropped. "He wants you to ask him to marry him!"
"Hmm." Ludwig sat back in his chair and looked over at the annex. "You know, I have been thinking about that..."
"Well, then make a decision soon. I don't want him complaining in my ear the entire time." Lovino took out a pamphlet and started flipping through it.
Ludwig continued looking at the annex, tapping his pen on the desk and pondering his next move.
"Welcome, Toris. Glad you came into my little abode of pleasure."
Alfred closed the door and Toris stared at all of the curios on Alfred's walls. "Wow, that's a lot of superhero things."
"Yep. I'm a pretty darned dedicated fan." Alfred sat down behind the desk and gestured to Toris. "Please, sit down."
Toris did. "What did you want to talk to me about, Alfred?"
Alfred folded his hands and sighed. "Toris, I know that it must be very hard for you."
Oh God, no... "What's hard?"
Alfred snorted. "Hehe, ahh, never mind." He shook his head and continued on, in a very grave voice, "Toris, it's alright. We're all here to support you."
"I...don't understand."
Alfred smiled knowingly. He leaned over the desk and held Toris' hand. Toris cringed in horror.
"Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?"
"Toris, we all support you. It's a-okay that you're bi."
Toris slipped his hand out. "WHAT?"
Alfred raised his hands. "Toris, it's okay. Most bisexuals do, in fact, have boners for their best friends."
"NO! That is a lie!" Toris screamed, his face red. "That is not true."
"It is, Toris." Alfred just sat there.
"No! No! No!"
"Is it the sex that scares you?" Alfred asked.
Toris' eyes popped out of his head (or, almost). "WHAT?"
"In fact, it is very pleasurable. Both as a top, and as a bottom. You just gotta get your ass stretched a little if you're a bottom—"
"Oh my God, I've had enough!"
Toris threw open the door and walked out.
"Okay, show of hands here. Who has heard the story about what happened between me and Feliks at the laser tag game?"
To his horror (although he couldn't say he was completely surprised), everyone raised their hand, except for Feliks.
Feliks yelped. "Toris, what the hell are you doing?" He stared at Toris with his mouth half-open. He looked like he was about to cry.
Toris ignored him. "Who did you all hear this from?"
Almost everyone in the office cried, "Alfred!"
Alfred walked out of his office and stood next to Toris. "Hey! I'm only repeating what I heard from Feliks. And I heard everything!"
People gasped and muttered about, looking at Feliks and Toris and Alfred.
Feliks blinked rapidly. "You totally weren't supposed to hear that, much less spread it around!" His lips started to quiver.
"How could you?" Elizabeta yelled.
"Well, it's not my fault Feliks freakin' blurted it out!" Alfred said. "Why the hell are you mad at me? You should be mad at Feliks." He pointed at Feliks. "He said it."
The office all stared at Feliks. Feliks, whose face was now very red and he no longer seemed very tall.
"You're an asshole," Feliks whispered and shot into the kitchen and into the bathroom.
Toris blinked. No wonder why Feliks was clueless when he tried to talk to him—
"F-Feliks, wait!"
He ran after him.
After everyone was done looking at Feliks and Toris, they all slowly turned their heads towards Alfred, an expression of utmost hatred on their faces.
Alfred recoiled.
"Hey, hey! Why're you all mad at me for?"
"Why don't you shut your mouth for once?" Lovino yelled.
"Feliks is right; you are an asshole!" Antonio said.
"How could you ruin their beautiful friendship?" Yong Soo shook his head.
"Yong Soo, why the hell are you saying anything?" Alfred yelled. "You don't even talk to them!"
"But I care!"
"Alfred, you just told everyone about Feliks' feelings for Toris," Elizabeta said. "How could you? You know how Feliks is about things like this!"
"Come on! Whenever I hear some juicy piece of office gossip, you all know what I do!"
"We thought that last year's incident would have stopped you," Ludwig stated.
"Wh-what incident? The thing with Arthur at Christmas?"
"ALFRED!" Now it was Arthur's turn to scream.
"See? I rest my case." Ludwig went back to his work.
Alfred shook his head. "Okay, guys." He chuckled nervously. "This is some reaaallly bad energy I'm getting here from you all. And my birthday's coming up and everything. I don't want pissed-off people coming to my birthday party."
"I don't want to come at all!" Elizabeta shouted. Many others around the office agreed with her.
"Oh come on, you don't mean that, Liz," Alfred said. "There's going to be cake and a piñata and fireworks—"
"No fireworks!"
"Shut it, Artie!"
Fear started to pump into Alfred's heart. The big dark house would be so lonely without anyone else inside.
"After this, Alfred, I'm not going either," Yao said.
"Mm-hmm."
"Yep. Me too."
"Guuuyssssss, come on! It's a free trip to Nantucket! You just have to pay for the ferry, and besides, you get Monday off."
"Monday doesn't count," Francis pointed out. "Fourth of July and it's your birthday." A few nodded in agreement.
"Fine, fine. Will you all come if you get Tuesday off?"
"Tuesday's when we come back from Nantucket," Elizabeta said. "I am not going into work after a trip like that."
More nods.
"Gah! You guys leave me no choice! How about Wednesday off too?"
Silence.
That bastard.
"FELIKS, OPEN UP!"
Toris pounded on the bathroom stall. He knew that the blond was in here—in the women's bathroom of all things.
"No! Like, I'm totally not going to!"
Toris let out a growl of frustration. "Feliks, why did you tell everyone?" he demanded. "You knew how I got so embarrassed about that!"
"It totally wasn't my fault." A sniffle. "I was j-just talking to Lizzie, and K-Kat, a-and Feli."
Toris put his hands on the top of the bathroom door and pushed himself up. Feliks was curled up in a ball on the toilet, with his knees up to his chin.
"Feliks, are you crying? Gah!"
Toris slipped off and landed on his butt on the bathroom floor.
The stall door opened. Feliks stepped out, shivering slightly. Tears fell down his cheeks. The entire image made Toris forget his anger.
"Liet?"
Toris got to his feet and rubbed his sore behind. "Feliks?"
"I'll, like, tell you if you won't yell at me." He sniffed again and wiped his face.
"Oh..." Toris whispered. "Of course." He took Feliks' shoulders and led him to the sink. He took a bit of a paper towel and began to gently dab Feliks' face.
"Feliks, why did you do that?" he asked softly.
Feliks sniffed. "I-I'm s-sorry, Toris. I-It's just...I..." He paused for a bit, sniffling some more, and continued: "I...was just so confused."
"Confused? About what?"
"I..." Feliks blinked. "I...I just wondered if...you had feelings for me."
Toris stopped. "If...I...had feelings for you?" he asked. "Feliks, I...don't have any feelings for you. Not at all. You're just a really good friend." The words tasted dry and bitter on his tongue.
"Oh..."
Feliks gazed up at him with those pret—green eyes of his. "Then, w-why did you—" He gulped. "—g-get...you know?"
Toris blushed.
"Umm, ahhh, well, you know." Think, Toris. Think. Think! "Uhhh...it was very...uhh, close proximity, and...err, you were...warm...and stuff. So, I guess that must have...st-stimulated s-something—"
"Oh. I kinda don't want to hear anymore."
Toris breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God." He crumpled up the paper towel and threw it away. "There, your face looks better." He smiled slightly. The butterflies started to return.
Feliks smiled back. "Th-thanks, Toris."
"No problem. You look better when you smile in that pretty dress." He pressed his lips to Feliks' forehead.
His eyes shot open. What was he...doing? His lips quivered, his eyes trailed down. Feliks froze as well, barely taking a breath.
Toris pulled away. Both of them stared at each other, unblinking.
"Uhh..."
Feliks smiled. "Like, thanks, Liet!" He gave Toris a quick hug. "Oh, and about the fact that I liked you, it was, like, a long time ago. Don't worry about it. Alfred gets his facts wrong."
Toris blinked and furrowed his brows. That was a rather random thing to say. "Umm, sure thing, Feliks."
Feliks beamed and bounced out the door.
Toris stayed there for a few moments and then shrugged. He followed Feliks
As soon as they entered the office, everyone stared at them. Feliks pouted.
He snapped, "Like, why're you all looking at us for? Get back to work!"
Everyone jumped and went back their computer screens.
Toris chuckled. "Thanks, Feliks."
"No problem, Liet."
They both returned to their desks. Eduard and Raivis stared at him.
"What?"
They turned away.
"Toriiiiiis!"
For the second time that day, Alfred came towards him.
"Hey, can I meet you in my office for a little bit? You too, Feliks."
Feliks and Toris glanced at each other before they both got up and went into Alfred's office.
Inside, they both sat down. Alfred closed the door.
"Listen, I know that this day's been craaaazy for both of you—"
"Arthur put you up to this, didn't he?" Feliks said, crossing his legs and folding his arms.
"Well, yes...kinda, but—"
"You really shouldn't have blabbed about this, Alfred," Toris said.
"I knooooow—"
"I still, like, hate you—"
"I don't think I'm coming to that birthday party—"
"Okay, okay!" Alfred raised his hands in defense. "I'm here to talk to you guys. Soooo after my birthday party, we'll get Tuesday and Wednesday off. But I've decided to give you two Thursday off too."
"If you're totally trying to bribe us, then you're, like, doing it the right way," Feliks said. "I'll go."
Toris sighed. "Then, I guess I'll go too."
Alfred grinned. "That's epic, guys! Great!" He stood up and opened the door. "Thanks for coming in here."
"You invited us in—"
"Yeah, well, just get out. Also, don't tell anyone about Thursday."
Feliks did, his dress swaying around his hips.
"Toris!"
Toris turned around. He remembered that he needed to tell Alfred something. "Oh yeah, Alfred?"
"About—yeah?"
"About the whole 'Feliks having a crush on me thing', he told me that it was a while ago, and that he doesn't like me anymore."
Alfred raised his eyebrows and twisted his mouth. "Err, it wasn't that long ago."
Toris began to close the door. "What?"
"It wasn't that long ago. It was at the laser tag game."
"...He said he had a crush on me at the laser tag game—?"
Alfred shook his head and typed rapidly. "You know, I'll just shut up now. I've caused too much drama."
Toris' mind turned into jelly, and he walked back to his desk in a daze. He plopped into his chair. For the rest of the day, Toris could not concentrate on anything.
So...Feliks really does like me then? He looked over. Feliks chatted on the phone with his high heels on his desk and examining his dark green nails.
But...I don't like him though. I have to say—or...think—green really does look good on him. But I like the pink better. He looks so much cut—better-looking in pink. That's his color.
His heart thudded, and he looked away. He touched his cheek. He wasn't blushing, was he?
Enough, Toris. The man's your friend, and you're not gay for him. You're not even bi.
At the end of the week, Alfred and Arthur loaded everything that he had into Alfred's little yacht. It was a clear and really hot day. Alfred sweat profusely, and Arthur looked like he was already getting sunburnt.
"Awesome! Trick candles!" Alfred said, getting the "2" and "6" out of the bag. "And they're red, white, and blue too!"
Arthur smiled. "I thought you'd like that."
"Didja you get the ice cream?"
"Right here." Arthur lifted the giant tub of mint chocolate chip and handed it to Alfred.
"Great!" Alfred looked in the wagon that Arthur carried onto the dock. "Hey, Artie, where's the piñata?" he asked.
"Oh...err, Al, they didn't have any Miley Cyrus piñatas."
"Aww! Really? That sucks!" Alfred looked at his shoes. "You at least get a Justin Bieber one?"
"No...but, I got something better!" Arthur smiled. "It's in the car! I'll show it to you."
He ran off into the parking lot. Alfred went below deck to put away the ice cream in the freezer.
When he came back out, Arthur was carrying the giant piñata on the boat. Alfred gasped and gave the Briton a huuuuuge hug.
"Arthur, oh my God!" he yelled. He grabbed Arthur's cheeks and gave him a sloppy kiss.
"Gah!" Arthur flailed and pushed Alfred away from him. He hit him on the head with the piñata. "Don't get too friendly with me, Jones!"
Alfred wasn't even fazed. "THIS...OH MY GOD! THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING PIÑATA EVER!"
I doubt anyone can guess what the piñata will be. xDD Anyway, I'll be busy this weekend with the convention, and I'll be heading off to the East Coast next week to study at a university for two weeks. Which should be fun, 'cause I'll be staying at a dorm and everything. c: I should be able to find some time to write then.
Reviews make me squeal!
