The Incident
The former fifth Elder was walking, carrying some stuffed files while she went down the stairs to the first floor. She stopped two threads above the ground when her eyes met a figure standing.
She was silent for a moment, their height difference was obvious, and if it was not for her high heels and the two threads above, she wouldn't be the same height as him. She combed a wild strand of her hair back, letting an awkward silence since she didn't seem accustomed with those casual encounters due to her new job. Then, he broke the tense mood first with a polite smile:
"What are you doing? It's your break for lunch." He stretched his hand.
"I only wanted to finish it earlier." She handled the files to him.
"You shouldn't overwork yourself or people will end up depicting a bad impression about me as the Director who makes his subordinates work more than necessary…"
"Is that what you were worried about?" her tone was placid, but he felt a pinch coming from her sarcasm.
"Not really."
It was partially true, since the main reason of his preoccupation came from the fact she didn't seem to mingle with humans or human world very well. Before he could think on a sentence, he saw a student coming down the stairs.
Everything happened so fast he couldn't react on time, as the male student tripped over his own feet and clumsily fell with stretched arms, pushing Lunark forward. The student fell standing on his knees and hands; as for Lunark, when he got pushed she also tripped on her feet and fell.
Frankenstein dropped the documents on his hands by reflex, to grab her before she fell, but it didn't go the way he thought. His hand brushed on her arm for a moment, which wasn't enough to stop her fall, and for a brief moment, their lips touched. If it wasn't for those two threads above…
His eyes opened wide and wavered, she was also confused when she landed on the ground in a close distance; his posture changed in a minute. He rested and hand on her shoulder, to pretend he had helped her when the student stood up looking confused at them.
"Are you hurt?" the blonde scientist asked to the youngster.
"H-huh… No… I'm sorry…" the boy scratched the head feeling ashamed.
"Be sure to hold on the handrail next time and don't run when you're going downstairs, it could have occasioned an accident." His cold stern tone caused a shiver on the boy.
"Y-yes, I'm so sorry!" he bowed deeply.
Frankenstein followed him with eyes until he disappeared from sight. He adjusted his glasses and with a heavy sight, he asked:
"Are you allright?"
"H-huh?" she got startled and he also flinched with her sudden tension.
Her cheeks were almost the same color as her eyes. A muffled chuckle came out of his lips, and he covered it with his hand to hide the amused smirk he had on face. She instantly shoved him back with a snarl:
"Shut up! I'm fine!"
She passed by him with a purposeful strong bump on his arm, pouting and stomping the ground. She followed her enraged silhouette as she went away, chuckling amused on how much cuteness she could display even being tough all time, maybe she just needed some more time to get used to that life, huh?
Next day, Lunark entered the office bringing some files again, Frankenstein sneered provokingly.
"I thought you would be troubled to come here."
"What a jerk…" she smiled in defiance an narrowed her eyes "You know I'm the one making your coffee, right? I could just put poison."
"Even if you did, I'm not a common human to begin with."
"Tsk. Then, I should think on other strategies."
The human trio that had just arrived observed the exchange of smirks between those two, they stopped at the entrance feeling that they shouldn't bother that moment.
"H-huh, what is happening here?" Tao asked in a whisper, still holding the doorknob.
"W-who knows…" M-21 answered with darkened eyes.
"S-should we really go in?" Takeo had a drop of sweat with some uncertainty hanging on his mind.
"I'm still wondering too…"
Perhaps, that incident was the beginning of something.
