Somebunny to Love [BNHA] [girlxgirl]

Chapter Two

~Rumi's POV~

I was getting tired of the Public Hero Safety Commission insisting I needed someone to help me, even if it was just to handle paperwork and manage my public appearances. I wasn't really much of a team player. I preferred doing things on my own with my own skills, not relying on others. So far, I'd done my part, put up with each person they sent, for a single day found flaws in all of them and fired them. Eventually they'd have to run out of people to send me, right?

As I approached the Public Hero Safety Commission Headquarters to pick up yet another secretary they were forcing on me, I paused as my ears picked up on something from within. It sounded as if someone were being bullied as I heard a mocking voice say, "are you going to need lessons on how to work the phone you've been issued? And where on earth did you get that hideous dress? No store would dare sell such a thing."

I scowled at the building. What the hell? Was this high school? Deciding I should restrain myself and investigate further before jumping to conclusions and busting through the door in a violent display of power and force, I casually approached the door.

"Honestly, you shouldn't even bother getting attached to something so nice, I'm sure you're just going to get fired like all the others. Enjoy the luxury of technology while it lasts, poor girl." The mocking voice continued.

Though I didn't hear anyone else responding, my ears were keen enough to pick up on another heartbeat in the room. It was beating fast, very fast, like an animal cornered by a predator.

Having had enough, I kicked the door. The hope was that it would fly open with a loud bang, however, I kicked it too hard and it completely flew off its hinges, through the second set of doors, shattering a ton of glass and they both hit the pristine marble floor of the large reception area and slid to a stop at the front desk. Glass rained down everywhere as the wall of glass the second set of doors had been attached to also shattered, in solidarity with its fallen door. A sharp shrill scream sounded from behind the desk, it sounded much like the mocking voice I'd heard earlier.

I stepped inside and spotted a scrawny girl, who at first glance I thought was an actual child due to her flat chest, staring at the doors that had landed inches away from her with wide emerald green eyes. She was wearing a white dress that looked quite childish (zero help for determining her actual age) it had a sheer chiffon overlay and a rounded lace collar. The buttons lining the front of her dress alternated between cute cartoon bunnies and bright orange carrots. There was a headband in her short red hair that had a matching carrot on the side. It all looked homemade but expertly crafted. Atop her head of short red hair were two fluffy fox ears, the base of which was a red that nearly blended into her hair and had frosty white tips. The right ear was perked up slightly and the left was flopped over and a little droopy and it looked adorable, which did not help with her childlike appearance at all...which was really making me question the commission and their regard for child labor laws. A bushy red fox tail with a white tip swished nervously behind her. For a split second, I was almost annoyed thinking she was making fun of me with her very obvious rabbity attire, but remembered she'd just been brutally verbally assaulted by the coward now hiding behind the front desk, currently calling for security as she hadn't realized it was me.

"Uh-." The little fox girl seemed to panic for a moment. It seemed like she'd just run through about thirty different ways to greet someone in this situation in her head before landing on stepping forward a bit, crunching through the glass and bowing to me way too formally and uttering in a soft shaky squeak, "I'm sorry."

I stared at her, baffled. "...what?"

"I-...uh-..." She nervously straightened out of her bow, "I'm sorry." She repeated hesitantly before thinking it over and now realizing it was quite absurd.
