Tom works for a large company and goes about his mundane day like everyone else. He's just some guy and when he starts to run into people he doesn't normally work with, that's when his life becomes less mundane.
Tom is sitting at his desk. He hates where he works, but deals with it by drinking when he finally clocks out.
He's never had to deal with any office drama, except for that one time someone from another company was spying on his department.
The creep had the nerve to flirt with him when ever he walked in.
Context:
So when Tom started working, he wasn't the only new guy. There were a few new workers at the tech company, but his department was just marketing.
He and some of the other coworkers got along well enough, but the spy kept inserting himself into their conversations.
He made Tom uncomfortable and eventually Tom filed harassment against him to HR. It spiraled, leading the investigators to realize the guy was working for the competition.

After that, Tom was compensated for both things.

Now a days, he just works over time because a new project is being launched in two months. He was suppose to look over all the documents and check them.
He was a tired guy.

He sighed and looked around the office. Two people other than him were still in the office so late at night. He was glad he gets paid extra when he does overtime.
He wanted to take a break. Getting up, he told the other two he would get drinks from the vending machine.
"I want cola.", said the one in a green tie.
"Can I get a strawberry energy drink? No caffeine!", said the one in a purple tie.
"Okay, I'll be back.", said Tom.
He walked over to the break room and noticed there was someone else in it. He paid them no mind as he got the drinks.
"Hm... cola... energy drink.... And.... What? No coffee? Sigh... fine. Fruit juice it is.", Tom mumbled.
Taking all three in his hands, he carried them to the entrance of the room. The other person turned and bumped into Tom. Tom stumbled, but didn't fall.
"Oh, sorry!", said Tom.
"No, no, it's my bad.", said the other guy.
Tom and the guy picked up the drinks. Tom got a good look at the guy and noted he wore a very clean suit with a red tie.
He wondered if company policy said to wear colored ties. He briefly worried he was violating it by wearing a checkered one, but brushed that thought aside.
"Thank you.", said Tom.
"No problem.", said the guy in the red tie.
Tom sent him a smile and walked away. Soon, he made it back to his coworkers and gave them their drinks.
"Thanks!", said green tie as he down the cola.
"Thank you, you're a life saver!", said the purple tie.
Tom shrugged and opened his fruit juice. He walked back to his desk and began to work again. ————- Aye remember this from my tumblr? (Me, totally not assuming you don't follow me so I'm mentioning I have a tumblr)
I'm making this an actual story, surprise! I have decided to update this in two places to see if I can handle that. (Probably, probably not)
It will either be my AO3 or Fanfiction.net account.
