𝐗

I started seeing the trainee I had helped more often. I learned his name was Andrew, he had tanned skin with dark brown/black fluffy hair. He had dark eyes and a small scar running across his cheek. He seemed pretty nice but DAMN he has an attitude.

Currently, I'm in the cafeteria eating lunch. Today they're serving salad and pasta. It doesn't taste as bad as you'd expect. I'm sitting across from Tom, who was chowing down on his food. "Go any faster and you might choke," I joke, eyeing him. He swallows his food, "Sorry, I didn't eat breakfast." I grin, "I don't blame you, the breakfast here is...sketchy." He chuckles, but stops and looks behind me. I raise an eyebrow and feel someone sit next to me, it's Andrew. "Oh! Hi Andrew!" It was Tom's turn to raise an eyebrow, "Hi Y/N! Is it okay if I sit with you two? I have nowhere to really sit.." He'd say, eyeing Tom wearily. I nod and face my food again.

It's kind of odd how all the sudden he wants to sit with us but I dont blame him, I'm pretty amazing. Stop Y/N. Tord's narcissism is starting to rub off on you. I shake my head and look at Tom, who looks slightly uncomfortable about Andrew. I bump Andrew's shoulder, "Introduce yourself." He makes an 'oh!' sound and looks at Tom, "Hi! I'm Andrew! I'm 19 and I'm a trainee.." Tom looks him up and down, his pixelated eyes flicking up and down slightly, "Thomas, Red Leaders Secretary." As soon as Tom says that Andrew's eyes widen and he straightens up, I giggle as he does so. Tom grins ever so slightly at this, probably from finally getting respect. I see Andrew's adam's apple go up and then down slightly as he gulps from nervousness. "Oh! Um..Pleasure to meet you!" Tom just nods, glancing at me.

I grin and pat Andrew's back, feeling how tense he is, "Come on Andrew, don't be so ten-" I was cut off by my walkie that I got recently, it was the devil himself, aka Tord. "L/N. Report to my office asap. Over." I groan and pick up the walkie, pressing the button, "I'll be there soon, over." Tom raises his eyebrows and I shrug. "Woah! Where'd you get that from?" Andrew would ask, gesturing to the walkie talkie. "Oh, um well you know..You kind of get it for being a high role I guess" I shrug one more. Andrew raises his eyebrows, "What? What's your rol-" Tom quickly cut him off, "-Don't you know it's disrespectful to ask your higher ups those questions?" "It was just a question!" Andrew would snap back quickly. Tom would furrow his eyebrows and squint, "Do not speak to me like that." God DAMN Tom takes his job way too seriously, doesn't this motherfucker hate Tord or some shit? Why's he so serious? On another hand I sort of want to see where this is going. "You're literally snapping at me for asking a fucking question!" I grin, watching this go down, "You should learn to respect your higher up's authority!" Tom would shout back, at this point there were a few eyes on us, most of them praying for the poor boy next to me. I want to stop them but I also want to see what happens. "She isn't just a higher up! She's a person too! Stop objectifying and categorizing her into words!" Andrew yells at Tom. My eyes widen as well as Tom's, "Look guys-" Tom quickly pulls out his walkie and I knew Andrew was fucked. Shock is written all over my face, "Tom thats not necessary! I swear he just has an attitud-" "An attitude?! Are you siding with him??" "No I just-" "What the fuck!" Andrew yells, standing up quite aggressively. Tom quickly stands up, glances at me and then looks at Andrew,

"How would you like to speak to Red Leader?"

All three of us were walking through the halls, the sound of our boots filling up the halls. Andrew was standing between us, I came because I had to see Tord anyways. This blows, I shouldn't have sat there doing nothing. Tom as a serious look on his face as Andrew has a frightened one. I sigh as I see the big doors with gold handle's approaching. I grip the handles and swing open the door, sweat forming on my forehead. I have to bail Andrew out of this, who knows what this sadist is going to do? Tord grins when he sees me but it immediately drops into a serious and formal face when he sees Tom and Andrew. I grin nervously.

Tom shoves Andrew into the room, who then fell to his knees. Tord stood up stiffly and Tom and I saluted. If it could, Andrews face warped into so much more fear. I could see the sweat coming down his face as anxiety radiated off him. Tom and I put our arms down and looked at Tord. He walked over, I could SMELL the authority coming off of him. "What is this?" Tord would ask, looking down upon Andrew. He looks at him with disgust and anger for some reason. He doesn't even know the guy? I don't think? Tom and I would both start at the same time, explaining the situation in different tones. Tord put his hand up, signaling us to stop. We did. "One at a time." Tord would furrow his eyebrows , looking at Tom and my eyes widen. Shit.

"Red Leader Sir! This trainee was asking disrespectful questions towards L/N. I made an attempt to put him in his place but he wouldn't budge, he began to raise his voice and yelled at the both of us." Tord nodded, then turned to me. "Red Leader! Please forgive this trainee! He is new here and doesn't fully grasp the rules! I made no attempt at stopping him and I formally apologize!" Tord narrowed his eyes. He rubbed his temple, groaning, "Are you two SERIOUSLY waisting my time over some low life rookie?! Why aren't you two talking to Pau and Pat about this?" "They weren't availa-" "Weren't available my ass! Get the hell out of my office!" Tord would sigh and compose himself, "Tom, Whoever the fuck you are, leave, Y/N, please stay." I gulp and nod, glancing at the two boys who were now leaving.

I wearily sit down, sweat dripping from my face. He sits across from me, making sure everyone is gone. He raises an eyebrow , "What's with that look? Im not gonna shoot you." "Sorry.." I clear my throat. He nods slowly. "Well..Y/N, I have decided to edit your schedule." I raise an eyebrow, "What?" He continues, "I edited your schedule for you to be able to go back and forth between formalities and casualties! As in, we can hang out now!" He'd grin, but I wasn't. I stood up abruptly, "Sir! You can't just edit my schedule because you want to hang out! That's selfish! Im actually busy!" I exclaim, shock, confusion, and mild anger lacing my words.

He furrows his eyebrows, "You know Y/N I thought you would APPRECIATE the gesture!" He'd stand up as well, looking at me. He looked hurt..and angry, he was obviously trying to hide it(he was failing at it). I looked at him in the eyes, "How am I going to appreciate something like that when you GAVE me this job! Plus! You're busy like 24/7! Hanging out is literally NOT an option!!" I growled, my fear quickly melting away into anger. I don't even know why I'm so worked up? I should be glad, but I'm not? Maybe I'm on my period, I lash out when I am. "I am your boss! I should be able to edit your schedule!?" He stated, confused slightly. "Now without my permission!!" "YOU WEREN'T GOING TO SAY YES ANYWAYS??" "THAT DOESN'T MEAN CHANGE IT ANYWAYS??"

At this point it was a shouting match. Eventually I gave it, sitting down aggressively with my arms crossed as he sat down slower than I. We sat there in silence, glaring at the floor. I feel slightly bad, but i'm not going to apologize, I want him to know i'm serious. We sit there quietly, until I hear his quiet sigh. He faces me, "Look, I changed your schedule because I wanted more opportunity to talk to you. You've...You've changed. You're not some shy little kid..you're a mature woman. I want to get to know you, again." God dammit I thought he was going to apologize. I looked up at him and stared, "I just- I-.." He'd sigh, "I'm sorry." Oh! He did apologize.

"I forgive you,but..just verify this kind of stuff with me." He'd nod, biting his nail.

"Now about that Andrew kid.."
