Day after day...

Year after year...

She said nothing of her affection.

"I-I am in love with you." She quietly sobbed to the headstone before her.

"Miss L/n, your 12 o'clock is here to see you now." The cheery voice announces.

"Thank you Marigold." Y/n smiles as she swaps files in her large organised drawer. An average size Older man, mid to late 50's, walks through the dark oak door, that was held open by Marigold, and gently sits down on the grey love seat couch.

"Hello Mr Rock Lock, would you like some water?" Y/n asks poring herself a glass.

"Ahem, yes-yes please." The Hero clears his throat.

The woman brings the crystal clear glasses of water and places one on the wooden coffee table in front of the man. Y/n gives a soft smile as she sits in her chair with a clipboard with paper clipped to it.

"So how have you been since we spoke last week? Any more thoughts on the matter?" Y/n asks taking a sip of her water and resting it down upon the coffee table surface.

"I have... I-I can't keep being a hero. It's too much for my family." He sighs.

"Too much for your family? Or for you?" The h/c haired woman clicks her pen.

"I can't keep putting myself in danger when I have a grandkid on the way. I'm getting too old to keep risking my life. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but this old soul needs to be there for his first grandkid."

"And that's ok to want to be there for your family, you have been a great hero to Japan, you deserve to retire. So why don't you?" Y/n writes down his previous points.

"Because, what if I retire and everyone hates me for stepping down?"

"Then that's their problem. You just need to worry about what you want for you and your family. Plus we now have a bunch of new young heroes who have become big hits with the public. They were trained by Almight himself." She enthusiastically spoke to get Rock Lock to look at the positives.

"That is true, I got to work along side a few of them and could see great potential in them." He ponders.

"Well how about we book you in another appointment for next week and your homework will be to talk with your wife and possibly your agency about your retirement." She stand up to walk Rock Lock out of her office.

"Thank you for your help." He shakes her hand.

"It's really no problem, I'm not as much help as I would like to be, it's really all you." Y/n smiles, he nods and walks down the hall waving to Marigold on his way into the elevator.

"Marigold?"

"Yes Miss L/n?" The teen responds.

"You are free to go on break now."

"Thank you Miss. Your next client isn't here until 2:30, and there is no one else booked in for the rest of the day." The Blonde girl scrolls through the computer bookings.

"Then if you would like, you are free to take your leave then. You were only going to work until 3 today? Correct?"

"Correct, But I'm happy to-"

"If it's the money you are worried about, I will pay you for your scheduled time. Now go and enjoy lunch with that boyfriend of yours and study. You still have school to worry about."

"Thank you so much Miss L/n, you really are the best boss ever." Marigold rushes to pack up her things while texting presumably her boyfriend with a large grin on her face. She waves to y/n as she stands in the elevator clicking the ground button.
