Love Potion

fluff?

3rd pov

It had been a rather long day for Dr Flug; he'd spent the entire day making a commission potion for a customer, a love potion, and it was finally done for testing. Flug sighed, leaning back in his chair. Suddenly, he heard a loud slam, he quickly turned around to find that his boss, Black Hat, had stormed into his office. "S-s-sir!" Flug quickly stood up, shakily greeting his boss. "Make a weapon for me." Black Hat coldly interrupted. He marched over to his subordinate's desk, scanning over the blueprints and notes Flug had written. "O-of course, what k-kind?" Flug hunched over, visibly nervous. Black Hat saw the potion Flug had been working on. He picked it up and examined it. "S-s-sir?" Black Hat furrowed his brow, then without a thought chugged the potion in one glug. "S-sir!!" Flug tried to stop his boss, but to no avail, his heart sank. "I want it to be... why are you looking at me like that?" Black Hat had his arms behind his back. "W-well s-sir... that p-potion you just drank..." Flug started. "Oh please, it's just a potion." Black Hat scoffed. "Hope so..." Flug whispered. 'But it still sucks that now I have to recreate it to test it...' he thought. "As I was saying..." BH turned his back, preparing to start ranting about this new weapon. "I want the... the weapon... to be light and portable... it..." Black Hat got silent. "B-boss?" Flug leaned closer. "H-how are you f-feeling?" "What was in that potion, Flug?" Black Hat interrupted once again, his voice cold as stone. "W-well..." Flug gulped. "I-it was an l-love potion, s-someone commissioned me to m-make one..." Flug closed his eyes, scared of Black Hat's reaction. "What a bother..." Black Hat sighed. "It must have been strong, how long will it last?" Black Hat continued. "W-well... you drank it before I got t-time to test it... so I-I don't know..." Flug stared at the floor. There was silence for a few moments. "H-how are you f-feeling, s-s-sir?" Flug hesitantly asked. Black Hat stayed silent. After a minute he turned towards Flug, his face immediately softening. "S-sir?" Black Hat sighed. "The potion works." He groaned, massaging his temples. Flug blushed at the implication of what Black Hat said. "H-h-how are you f-feeling?" Flug repeated. Black Hat stared at Flug in silence. After a minute, Black Hat approached Flug. "S-sir?" Flug started to shake, afraid of what Black Hat might do. Still silent, Black Hat pulled off Flug's bag. Flug was sweating. Black Hat's facial expression was still cold. They stood there for a minute, just staring at each other in silence. "Sir?" Flug whispered. Black Hat reached out and placed Flug's cheek in his palm. "What?" his voice was scary but his touch was gentle. Flug blushed. "A-are you alright?" Flug's shaking had decreased, but he was still nervous. Black Hat furrowed his brow. A few moments later, he replied.

"I'm not sure... This potion seems to have more effect on me than I'd like, but I'm fine." He closed his eyes in frustration. "Would you uh... mind explaining what you're feeling?" Flug asked. Black Hat glared at him. "Ah! I-I mean for the client! I-I'd have found someone else to t-test it on but since you've already drunk it..." Flug rambled. "P-please? J-just this o-once?" Flug knew it was a significant risk to try and ask something of his boss, but since he'd already but so "sweet" with him he thought it was worth a shot. Black Hat furrowed his brows and sighed. He grumbled something Flug couldn't hear. "You truly... are an amazing scientist... making such a strong potion on a whim..." Black Hat blushed, looking in the other direction. Flug blushed as well. "Ah! Well- gee, thank you, sir!" Flug scratched the back of his neck. "S-so it's effective..." Flug whispered as he scribbled down some notes on a paper. Flug glanced in Black Hat's direction and noticed he was staring at him."S-sir?" He asked. "Yes?" BH sounded calm, almost nice even. Flug looked back at the table. "How are you..." Flug cleared his throat. "A-about that w-weapon you wanted me to make, c-could you please tell me more?" Even with Black Hat acting all nice, he was still a scary presence. After a minute of silence. "S-sir-?" Flug turned back around, towards Black Hat. Dr Flug flinched when he noticed that Black Hat had gotten really close. "S-s-sir?" Flug backed up against the table, Black Hat followed him. Black Hat's face was blank, so Flug had no clue what was going on inside his boss's head. "You..." Black Hat started. He placed one hand on the table, trapping Flug. "Really are adorable when you shiver," Black Hat smirked. He grabbed hold of Flug's chin, forcing Flug to look him in the eye. Flug blushed like crazy. Black Hat leaned forward- Dr Flug instinctively scooted further away. Black Hat opened his mouth slightly, exposing the edges of his razor-sharp teeth. Flug could feel his cold breath upon his own mouth. Flug too opened his mouth slightly. They stared into each other's eyes. The moment seemed to last forever... until Black Hat's phone suddenly rang.

Black Hat quickly straightened his back and left Dr Flug's room, taking the call. Flug lost his balance when Black Hat left so he stumbled down onto the floor. He was stuck between a state of shock and bliss. His mind raced with thoughts of what would have happened had they not been interrupted. What would Flug have wanted to happen? He shook his head. With shaky legs, he got up from the floor and sat down at his table. His face was burning, he picked up his bag and shakily put it back on. He tried to get back to work but simply couldn't, he couldn't stop thinking about what happened. He couldn't stop thinking about Black Hat.
