Well this is an unexpected turn of events(Phobos X Reader)

Anticipation

(A/N: You thought i was dead hah no! Just took a lil writing break with work and whatnot, felt unmotivated to write recently too but i should slowly get back into things again, Usurpers Chronicles should get updated "soon" too. sorry again for the long wait, just know, im an aroace writing romance XD)

And there you laid, laid in confusion and worry in your own bed back at your apartment. God this all hit you so...sudden. Was that his plan all along? is that WHY he sent you out of everyone to that god forsaken city you sure as hell never want to step in ever again. Your heart is skipping beats as it pumped irregularly, adrenalin. 

You laid there and blinked a few times, staring at the ceiling, you were lost. Sure you expected you two to be friends and all but HIM of all people choosing YOU? some ....random employee?  What were you going to do? accept his offer? so many questions were coursing through your head as you laid as still as a statue. 
JUST as you thought things were calming but no. That had to come up. 

You took a deep breath in and exhaled, well you shouldnt lie to yourself, you did have butterflies in your stomach and this thought of him liking you made you innerly giggle. So was there really any harm when you at least tried it? I mean whats the worst that could happen if it goes bad? Sure he could simply kill you but at least it would be quick right?

You slowly arose from your bed, remembering you were taller now, god you dont know how Phobos did it, well the 'not hitting your head on stuff' thing you mean. Maaaaaaybe that was the reason he wore a helmet constantly, smart.
It was 2 in the morning, as you proceeded to go to your little balcony full of ciggarretes, honestly you didnt smoke, it was those of the neighbours above you but you were to lazy to clean them up.
The cold air hit you as you tried to relax on the stone-concrete balcony in your comfortable clothing, the desert may be a hot place but in the night it gets freezingly cold. you enjoyed breathing in this cold, fresh air, oh so different from the hot, midday smog you are used to.
Stars havent shown in years, ever since the suns death, every single sighting of them disappeared, it made you feel so alone, knowing many stars probably burnt out, however you didnt want to bother yourself with such existential dreads.

you went back inside after a good 30 minutes and decided to sleep the little hours you had left before work. You should probably talk to the director once your shifts over, you two are usually the last ones in the tower by then and on purpose too. Would probably be the best time to talk about this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you woke up nothing was out of the ordinary, you got dressed, went to work and started to work on projects once again, every day was the same when it comes to the routine. you did see Phobos cycle the place a few times and did think about agreeing then and there but knowing him, he would probably scold you for  ruining his menacing public image.

Christoff seems to warm up to you too, you would call yourself far from being friends but you are on his good side, so much you can tell. 
Honestly you liked Christoff, you couldnt really understand why Phobos didnt but that was none of your concern.

As you walked through the walls you remembered that you had to do...SOMETHING. 
As much as you wanted to write off meeting "the maker" as a fever dream, you stopped denying that a few days ago. While he said theres no repercussions for you if you dont stop project nexus, you are worried of what may happen because afterall, the maker said something will take care of that if you didnt. Maybe you could try to convince him? very carefully and sound more concerned about the securities of the project? yeah. that may work.

And there you two were as you were closing up the tower, all alone, no one else was really there in the cold halls of this massive building.
"Sooooo...uh...about that offer." you started, somewhat nervous
"yes?" He simply replied, not paying much mind as he was busy setting papers aside in his little office...well little for him, for you it was still pretty big. 
"I would uhm. accept that- Im just going to warn you in advance, im not the romantic type so if it gets awkward..." you spoke on and didnt know how to ramble the sentence you began to an end.
"Oh i assure you, that will not be an issue, darling" the cyclops replied.
Your stomach almost made a flip when he called you that, you could feel your face heat up as you scrambled for words
"GREAT! Great- great to know. Its- its a date then- yup-" You fiddled with you fingers in an attempt to calm your nerves back down.
"I suppose it shall be then" A sharp smile crossed his face as he noticed that you lighted up more than a chrismas tree "Aww, did I fluster you?~" he said in a teasing manner, laughing afterwards as he found amusement in this ssituation.
"Just a little, as said im not used to this all, its a first" You admitted as you slowly calmed back down again
"I suggest you get used to it then for tomorrow evening" he said, this teasing tone in his voice, it drove you crazy and you didnt know if it was in a good or bad way.
"Tomorrow? already? in the evening?" You questioned to make sure you heard that right
"mhm.  indeed, afterall what sense does it make to wait a week" The director said as he shrugged casually, his shoulderpads lifting for a second.
"Right right, sure, tomorrow sounds good." You said as you finished to close up the windows of the building.

Well tomorrow will certainly ...be interesting.
