Chapter Text
*“Why did I agree to this” i thought to myself as i felt outis’ arms wrap around my chest*
[flashback]
Outis: M-Manger I-i request that we share a quarters for the night, I’m sure you are quite vulnerable in the state you are currently in as you adjust to the new head upon your shoulders, please let me accompany you tonight
*that was how it went i honestly don’t know where or how she got this idea and at the time it made sense but now as i lay here her…spooning me my eye still slightly throbbing from resurrecting heathcliff, i realize she was probably lying*
*I can feel her breathing against my neck her breath is warm and I can tell she’s tense, I’ve never seen her act like this before, what caused this sudden change in her personality…was it my head change? It’s not like i wanted this to happen it’s not like I wanted to make her so concerned I-…wait why am I so worked up…I should probably ask her, maybe that will stop my mind from swirling so much
Outis *I say as I attempt to turn over to face her*
Outis: y-yes manager
…*I try and remember the question I wanted to ask but as I gaze at her so closely I’m stunned by her beauty, her short silky smooth hair, her tanned skin, her beautiful orange eyes-…WAIT WHY THE HELL AM I THINKING OF AN EMPLOYEE LIKE THIS AND HER NO LESS…okay calm down me just thi-*
Outis: manager is…everything alright?
AH- *ahem* yes i just wanted to ask who gave you this idea
Outis: oh yes, ryoshu gave me the idea, she said it helped Sinclair feel safer and then Rodion tryed it with Gregor and i would be lying if i said it didn’t make me curious
*of all people i expected this most from someone like Rodion, ryoshu was not someone i even considered to come up with an idea like this*
…are you okay outis…you seem tense like something is wrong *SHIT why did I ask that she probably thinks I’m overstepping work boundaries and-*
Outis: Y-Y-YES IM FINE YOU WORRY TO MUCH EXECSECUTIVE MANAGER N-now go to sleep you’ve got to lots to do tomorrow
*as she finishes her statement I’m suddenly pulled into her chest, almost instinctively I wrap my arms around her*
*well now this is awkward for the both of us, but as much as I tried to fight it the warm embrace of her chest was putting my mind at ease I could…hardly……think…………at…….all*
(As his breathing slowed as he drifted off i relaxed slightly him burred in my embrace felt like a dream come true, i finally felt comfortable enough to let everything out)
Outis: when I saw your head explode I will admit it scared me I managed to get you back in the bus then I saw your face and then I saw…your bright beautiful blonde hair, your smooth pale skin, and then you opened your eyes and they were the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, that was when i realized all this time, i was in love with you executive manager…i spent all day trying to grapple with these feelings, feelings i thought i had long since forgotten how to acquire, but before i could even full unwrap what i had discovered you where standing in front of me and next thing i know im holding you in my arms sharing a bed with you…it’s so much easier to grapple with these feelings when I’m able to tell them to you…Dante……..I’m in love you
(I run my fingers through his hair and kiss him on the forehead before I go to sleep)
