"Therefore, using the theory of
epigenetics, we should focus on..." You zoned out on Dr. Vanta's presentation. He seemed like a nice guy, but a little too into his work. You'd both just graduated university. He was always very reserved and quiet, not really caring to socialize with anyone.

Maybe, that was the reason you were somewhat attracted to him. That, and well, his massive—

"I see," The CEO's voice snapped you out of your thoughts. "And what do you say about this matter, Ms. [Last Name]?"

"Uh...I-I propose that we should..." You took a quick glance at the power-point Dr. Vanta has created. He gave you a scowl that said 'Say the right thing, say the right thing!' but you did terrible under pressure. "The company should refrain from experimenting with any Loomians from the wild, especially their reproduction..."

You awaited your boss' response as Dr. Vanta glared at you from behind, his lip quivering, as if he was holding back from swearing at you.

"Well, I apologize, Vanta, but we cannot play around like children with nature. I admit, this idea is...creative, but could potentially be dangerous to the lab and to us. Miss [Last Name], thank you for your input on the matter."

The old man left the room in a civilized fashion. As soon as he was gone, Dr. Vanta threw a fit.

"[Name]! What has gotten into you?? I could've launched my idea! We could've profited from an entire species!" He clenched his teeth, crossing his arms and looking towards the window.

"I didn't know what to say, I'm sorry, baby." You stepped over and kissed his cheek. He pouted, turning his head away and resisting your touch.

You pushed against him, and began to poke his cheek. "C'mon, don't be like that~."

You rested your cheek on his chest, wrapping your arms around his chest and cuddling him like a teddy-bear. He grumbled, uncrossing his arms and gently wrapping them around your waist. He buried his head in the crook of your neck, nuzzling against you. The green hair tickled the back of your neck as you let out a tiny giggle.

Suddenly, a ring from his phone interrupted you two.

"Ugh, why now...?" You groaned as Vanta kissed you on the head, rushing towards the exit of the room, papers in hand. You heard him call out goodbyes as you returned them with an unamused wave.

"Have fun.." You answered, continuing your work on researching Loomian magic, where it came from, how it is developed, etc.
