One Call Away [Yandere!Pein x Reader]

[9/15]

9 

For the very first time, she was late for work. [Name] could imagine the amount of side comments she would receive when she arrived at the office. "Immature pigs," she muttered angrily. 

She contemplated the decision to run in her heels but decided against it as the heavy bulk of files in her hands prevented her from doing so. Instead, she paced herself quickly and glanced down at the sidewalk for a moment to check for uneven cracks. 

"Oof!" She was forced backwards, stumbling over thin air and unable to find her footing. The files were dropped and left forgotten as she attempted to regain her standing but failed.  

A hand stretched out to her and grabbed her, quickly setting her upright.  

"I'm really sorry about that," the person said sheepishly. He was of tall height, his short and black boyish hair suiting his aesthetics perfectly. She met his striking, dark eyes that seemed to hold just the right amount of mischief. 

"I-It's alright," she stuttered immediately. Looking down on the ground, her timidity becoming the best of her; she remembered the files and began to squat to gather them. The fairly handsome man had taken the same position as well and assisted her with the files. "I'm Shisui." He held his hand for her to shake and grinned cutely at her. 

She smiled shyly and shook his hand. "I'm [Name]." 

"Let me help you with this. It's my fault, after all." With frightening speed, he managed to regather all her files and stood up. "Whoo, can't believe I met the cutest girl I've ever seen in the corniest way ever," said Shisui, with a large smile on his face. 

[Name] blushed from his comment. "I need to go to work..." she trailed off. 

"Alright cutie, I won't hold you up then." He winked at her before retrieving his cellphone from his back pocket. "But first, can you give me your number?" 

A thought about Sasuke was brought to the forefront of her mind before she pushed it aside. It's not like I'm cheating on him anyways; he doesn't care about me. The same goes for Pein... I've never even met Pein in real life and I probably never will, she thought. 

The corner of her lips raised as she nodded. "Yeah." 

After they had exchanged numbers, she finally arrived at work. Ever since the incident with the water, things had calmed down after she had snubbed some of coworkers in public. It was a good thing, however there remained whispers that eventually made their way to her.  She was settled in her chair and popped a medicinal pill in before she went about her filing. She hummed a soft, melodic tune as she worked in contentment. 

That didn't last long when her work phone rang and she absentmindedly picked it up. "[Name] Shizumi speaking." 

"Princess, the day I see you is the day I claim you... which will be very, very soon. You're mine and Shisui's dead." 

A short click followed by empty ringing intoned in her ear, just before she released the phone from shock.
