Expect The Unexpected

Oneshot

Val ran a hand through his hair "I wonder what Simmons has in store for us this time."

Eve folded her arms across her chest "Ugh, probably another complaint, knowing him." She huffed, already dreading whatever was awaiting them. Mac simply shrugged. The DJ couldn't care less.

"What do you think he'll moan about this time?" Skylar asked, turning his attention to Ty.

The Norwegian gave him a sheepish look "How am I supposed to know? We piss him off all the time."

"Cheers." Freya interjected.

"Let's at least hear him out. It likely won't take long." Moon suggested in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"Still a waste of my fucking time." The redhead added.

–

"You're late." He growled.

Freya rolled her eyes. "Good evening to you too." Griff pretended not to see that. "Sit down." He simply ordered, gesturing towards the chairs placed in front of them. Ever so obedient, Moon did as she was told. The rest, not as much. He expected as such but it was worth a try nonetheless. "We don't have all day, just say whatever it is we did wrong, we'll apologize as per usual and go about our day."

Griff sighed. "Believe it or not, I didn't gather you all here to point out your mistakes."

"What?" Skylar frowned in disbelief. That was unexpected.

Griff sighed again. "Yes, Aguilar, I'm sure this comes as a shock to you but I assure you it's the truth." He continued while resting both elbows on the table. He already regretted his decision. How he hadn't fired any of them so far was honestly beyond him. They had caused him nothing but trouble... or money. "Actually, as much as I hate to do this, I am asking you for your input."

"On what exactly?" Eve asked, squinting. "Fashion? Sense of humor? Optimism? Lord knows you could use it."

"Trends." Griff simply stated. "Please do not disappoint me for once."

"What were you leaning towards?" Moon asked interestedly.

"Whatever it is the youth is into these days." He replied. Griff didn't bother with social media. He had a team to take care of that for him. Besides, he was so busy he simply didn't have the time to keep up with it either way.

"The fuck? You're the youth, you're supposed to know. You and Moon are the youngest ones here." Skylar objected, pointing at the pair of them.

"For crying out loud can't any of you do as you're asked? Just for once?" He threw his arms up in defeat. At this rate it was going to take all day.

"K-pop." Moon suggested, a warm smile gracing her lips. "The genre has gained worldwide attention. Some of the biggest names have even made it to mainstream Western media."

Finally, he thought. "Go on."

"Adventure time!" Ty chimed in excitedly.

"Preferably something more engaging, Thorsen."

"Tik tok." Skylar added.

"Yes, I am familiar with tok tik, thank you very much. Anything else?"

"Fortnite?" Mac added, unsure of his answer. "Or was it Minecraft... No wait, it's Roblox!"

"Saving the planet, as well as sustainability." Moon added, providing examples such as straws, clothing and much more. Griff simply nodded in response while taking mental notes. Much to his surprise, they weren't completely useless for a change. Unexpectedly, they had actually given him suggestions he could work with.
