Work Text:
“S-stop it, Jane!” Seth hissed, turning to his coworker (as he was still not sure about what kind of relationship they had until now).
Jane, instead of intimidated, had the widest grin on her lips. Her head resting on her hands as he leaned over the table. “Aw, but you’re so cute when you’re angry, kitty.” She mocked, reaching out to flick her finger at Seth’s fluffy ear, making him squeal in annoyance again.
This had to be considered some sort of harassment, or at least a violation to their workplace politics. How could she bully him like that all day and not be in trouble for it?!
Well, maybe because he never reported her, in the first place.
With his cheeks flushed, Seth tried to ignore the woman in front of him. “I’m trying to work, g-go look for someone else to bother.”
“And if I don’t want to?” Jane hummed, licking her lips teasingly. She quickly hopped over the table, sitting on its edge and getting closer to Seth. “Then what?”
Seth gulped, feeling his limbs freezing with both fear and some sort of twisted excitement, somehow getting amusement from being treated like that. He didn’t think it through thoroughly, what could he even threaten Jane with?
He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Seth could only clench his hands and grit his teeth, not knowing what to say back to his coworker.
“Did the rat catch your tongue?” Before he could protest against her teasing, Jane hopped off the table and held his chair by its armrests. She towered over him like a school bully over the quiet kid. “You know, I think the others already left the office…”
“W-what?” Seth widened his eyes, leaning back into his seat as if he was about to sink on it. Jane moved forward, closing the distance between their faces. “Jane, I don’t-”
“Hm? ‘Don’t’ what? What are you thinking about, kitty?” She hummed, pressing her hand against his chest and moving it up to his neck, wiggling her fingers under his chin.
Seth scrunched up his shoulders, an awkward giggle leaving his lips while a nervous smile took the room in his face. “N-nohohothing, I swehear! Y-you ahare just t-too close!”
“Well,” she whispered, “I don’t think I’m nearly close enough.”
Those words seemed to set Seth’s insides on fire. Blood rushed through his veins and tainted his cheeks with a bright, pink blush. God, this woman-
“Ahaha, look at you!” Jane laughed out loud, standing back up and pushing Seth away slightly. “I didn’t think you’d be such a pervert, kitty. Were you having nasty thoughts?”
“J-Jane!” Seth whined, his voice nearly cracking with embarrassment. “It’s your fa-aAHA! W-wahahait, nohoho!!”
Despite wanting to fill his body with anger, Seth’s frown was quickly dissipated as Jane used her tail to poke his lower back, lowering his guard and creating an opening for a merciless ticklish assault. “What did you say, Seth? I couldn’t quite catch it. Let’s try it again ~”
