Chapter Text
BeiKazu modern au - In which Beidou and Kazuha are falling asleep with their heads on the other's shoulder/head in the backseat while their friend is driving.
Working as a new face in the Crux Corporation sure gives Kazuha plenty of benefits, especially when his team leader, Beidou, has an excellent eyes when it comes to snatching a good deal.
"I heard Lady Ningguang nearly cries when Ms. Beidou insisted on increasing the price," Bolai whispers.
According to the tradition, after scoring a deal, their company would hold a small celebration party for the successful team. Eventhough Beidou did most of the job, she wants everyone to share the success. and that includes drinking to their heart's content.
"This round is on me, so go get your glass up and cheers!" Beidou raises her glass, followed with everyone's excited voice. Kazuha soon follows, eyes never leaving her figure. He had always set his eyes on Beidou, his team leader, ever since he started working here.
She is willing to teach new faces, friendly to others (though she can appear a bit rough) and she is very selfless. Each time one of her team member makes a mistake, she would always apologize on their behalf and try to help them fix things with her guidance.
Kazuha sees no flaw from this woman.
"Yo, Kazuha, you had a good time right?" Suddenly he feels Beidou's arm draping around his shoulder, pulling him closer.
Damn it, he can smell the faint perfume from her body, and it's driving him nuts. Kazuha can only nod and smile at her, earning a smile back from his leader.
"Yes, Ms. Beidou. Thank you for hosting this party," he smiles, looking up to lock his gaze with her own. Beidou stares into his ruby eyes for awhile, then chuckles.
Kazuha can feel himself fall even deeper.
As always, Beidou got wasted really bad and being the responsible employee he is, Kazuha helps Beidou to hop into her car while her driver, Juza, waits inside.
"Oi, Kazuha, -hic- where do you live? You -hic- shouldn't ride the bus when -hic- you're drunk, ya know?"
Kazuha chuckles, in his view Beidou always looks so cute whenever she gets wasted. "I live nearby, Ms. Beidou, I can always call for Taxi," he nods.
Beidou reaches out, ruffling his hair. "Just ride with me, I also live nearby -hic- Juza can take you home."
"But-"
"You heard the boss, young man, get in," Juza intervenes.
Ah, fate is really playing with him.
Kazuha ends up sitting next to Beidou, the boss he's been admiring from afar. After sending Juza his address from his phone, he chooses to lay his back against the backseat.
Beidou looks exhausted, and Kazuha doesn't dare to start a conversation despite how awkward their situation is. But he decides to make the best out of it.
"Kazuha," Beidou mumbles, eyelids closed still. "Is it okay if i hold your hand? I feel cold," she adds.
Fate can be funny sometimes.
"Sure thing, Ms. Beidou," he answers, allowing their fingers to intertwine. He can feel the weigh of Beidou's head resting on his shoulder, and soon, he finally gives into deep slumber.
epilogue:
"Oi, Kaedehara, you can get out now," Juza says, stopping by the front of an apartment building. There was no answer, so he decides to look behind and sees Beidou and Kazuha sleeping while leaning against each other.
Juza facepalms himself, being a thirdwheel really sucks.
