Well this is an unexpected turn of events(Phobos X Reader)

Afterwork time

(A/N: Guess whos back in school and bored, Not how i would have suspected the second half of 12th grade to go but oh well, it be what it be, mostly chill for now so i have time to write this in class like i did with Information Provider)

Another day, another load of hellish work you had to do. At least you were on time this time, could be worse, at least ever since you have accepted this position months ago paying rent hasnt been as stressful as you can actually pay on time. You definetly like it more than working on the lower department. You thought about what to do today, you know you had to attend the meeting together with Hofnarr later, but after that?....
Well save to say you actually DO ponder the emperors request, you mean...what did you have to loose? Well besides your job...and life. As you continued working on the paperwork you thought maybe Hofnarr would be save to talk to, you werent sure if hiring a therapist would be to good of an idea in this city and you knew the camera system had no microphones attached so only pictures came through.

"Hey Dr Hofnarr?" You decided it was worth a try.
"What is it Y/N?" The Lead Scientist said, paying no mind to actually turn his head towards you, he was observing on the weird specimen in the tubes which appearantly were infused with "dissonance", whatever that meant.
"So...can I tell and ask you something? Promise you will keep it a secret from everyone else okay?" You requested as you stopped doing the paperwork for a second.
"Well, if it bothers you to the point where you are bothered by it mentally, i suppose you can." The slightly below average man said as he shrugged
"Seriously, dont tell anyone about this." You emphasized, you wanted this to stay a secret
"I promise." Hofnarr said a little agitated now, having gotten the point the first time
"Its odd how the Director keeps requesting for me and all, you think theres more behind that?" You asked, shaking a bit as you anticipated an answer
"The Director is a man who works in mysterious ways mentally, I am sure theres a reason on why he does that." Hofnarr simply replied as he took notes
"No....You think he likes me?" You specified, you felt a pit form in your stomach, maybe this was a bad idea
"....." at first he seemed quiet, thiking about an answer "I cannot say. I do not know him that well on a personal level, i believe no one really does to give you  concrete answer to that. That is something you need to find out by yourself." The scientist finally spoke up, laying his pen and paper down, NOW he was interested in this conversation, taking a chair and sitting next to you.
"But how am i supposed to do that without making a wrong move and possibly getting assassinated or crushed to death by him out of disrespect?" You inclined as you continued with the paperwork, it needed to be done by the end of the day
"Well. I do not think you need to force this. Romantic feelings is something that gets stronger slowly over time, in a while you will probably be able to tell if he is or not. Forcing it may only cause him to retreat from actually getting closer to you if thats truely his intentions" The older scientist adviced.

In all honesty, you were BAD at romance, you are someone whos straight to the point and that may be why you dont have a romantic partner yet. The thought of HIM out of everyone to like you still baffled you.

"Thanks Hofnarr, I needed this." You thanked him, this talk did wonders for your thoughts as you were less worried now that you didnt exactly have to do anything about this...or that he just didnt laugh at you for even having that thought.
"Anytime. Now, lets get back to work, we have plenty to complete before the meeting, we do not want to disappoint him now do we?" Hofnarr said as he stood back up.

He was right, you have to get back to full work mentality, afterall this isnt a therapists office, but your occupation.

Once the time for the meeting came you started getting nervous again, at least you got Hofnarr who went through this a lot of times already so he kept you fairly calm and inplace. Sitting at a table up in the highest department, your second time here you tried to catch at least SOMETHING from this meeting.
They used terms you didnt even know what to do with "s3l-f" and "dissonance", teh second word was at leats familiar to you but you still dont know what it truely meant. "Project: Gestalt" seemed to be the thing they were talking about, appearantly some MAG agent experiement they were going to do connected to "the other place", still had no idea what to do with that term either. You felt like a child listening to specifics of a conversation adults were leading and who barely acknowledged you. 
However Hofnarr would give you a nudge if you were supposed to get out certain documents, so at least you were there for some actual reason, orginization, so at least you didnt feel useless in this all.  You rarely saw Phobos when he actually worked and took suggestions, sure, you saw him in his office...but that was about it so seeing him like this was something new to you and you refused to take your eyes off him, studying him to some extend. He probably picked up on it since he would throw you glances every now and then.

Now the question was if you were going to stay with him after work or not, you felt like it was a good but also really bad idea at the same time so you waited... and waited... until the meeting was over. You thought that if he really was just on an elaborate plan to get rid of you, he would have never excused your behaviour when you fell asleep after hours and slept yor whole shift away, he would have fired you on the spot, it would have been the perfect excuse to actually kill you, so...why not give it a try.

Honestly, you didnt even notice that the sun, or well what remained of the sun, long set. As you glanced at your phone it was 9 pm, looks like this meeting took longer than you thought. You said goodbye to Hofnarr and waited until everyone was gone. Leaving you with the god-emperor alone.

"I see you have accepted my request, I am delighted." He spoke up, seeming genuiently content you decided to stay
"Well yeah I gave it some thought and...here I am." You shrugged nervously but tried to get it over as being happy as well. "What first?" you decided to ask
"Follow me." The director spoke as he left the room and you just followed like a lost puppy, the highest section was pretty much unknown to you.
"Of course Sir.-" You replied but got cut off
"Phobos." He basecly cut you off.
"What?" You questioned him as you walked next to the 7 feet and 1 inch generation 01 clone
"Off work, Its just Phobos." He elaborated as he looked down at you.
"Alright...If you want me to call you that, I shall." You said in a mumbling tone, you werent really used to calling him anything informal.

He basecly led you into a camera room and told you to switch it over to night mode...you had honestly no idea how to do that, you were a scientist, not a mechanic or guard or something like that. You looked back at him for help and he just smiled back at you. He knew you didnt know, well you guess he still was a bastard at times afterall.

"I dont know how to do this." You said cheapishly
"Then try yourself through it." He simply replied as he watched you in your confusion. 
"What if i press the wrong thing?" You asked him as you turned back to the console controls
"Then something else happens that isnt what I requested for. I thought that was quiet obvious." He hummed in a half chuckle. Seriously? He really is leaving you to try yourself through.
10 minutes in and you still didnt figure out what the right combination was
"S- Phobos, help." You requested for help to which he just shook his head
"I can not do that, where would that leave the amusement in this experience?" 
"Okay....I see where this is going." You chuckled yourself, you wanted to insult him in a joking manner but that wouldnt be exactly a good idea. You didnt even know he had a sort of...playful side to him.

Wouldnt be a good 20 minutes until you figured it out...very much to the amusement of the director who watched the whole thing without even helping you once. 
But honestly, you could get used to that side of him,  He still had a sort of "regal" aura to him but he was alot more casual with you now that everyone else was gone.

"Now that is out of the way, how about we check the perimeters, hm?" He suggested to which you just nodded, you mean , you didnt know this department, neither job OR location wise so you had no idea what to do-

This night honestly wasnt terrible, he asked you alot about your personal life, where you live, family and such, he seemed quite interested about that. Well probably because you werent in a high position like him. You didnt even pay attention to the time, oh well, tomorrow you had one of your very few free days so holding on a sleep schedule can be neglected this time. 
It was around 2 am when you checked the clock for a second.

"Its late, I think we both should be going, or else theyll notice something is off if the tower is still active so late in the night" You suggested,  you really didnt want this time to end, but you cant exactly freeze time either and all things come to an end eventually so...
"I do not like admitting to it but you are sadly correct." The director agreed to this. Why is so upset? Did he enjoy this as well?
"Well time to get home, hopefully I dont get stabbed." You joked as you stood up and excused yourself to leave.
However he stopped you and pressed a small army knife in your hands
"Just incase" He said as he backed off from you.
"Thanks." You replied and left, honestly, this was a pretty eventful day. You didnt understand much from the meeting but it was something else for once.

The walk back was quieter than usual, of course, it was really late into the night and really early into the morning, no one was awake, honestly. Normally you werent afraid of Vampires but anxiety this late rose in you so you just speedwalked home. 
Honestly, you wouldnt mind doing this again. There was a warm feeling in your chest the entire time you were with him.
Wait, do you possibly like him as well?
