It's been about three weeks since partnering up with Yurushi to help your kind friend, and boss, Aesha. She has made enough money that she could hire somebody else, so that's what she did.

"Yurushi, (Y/n), meet Bashir!" Aesha exclaims, dragging the man along with her.

He waves kindly with a small smile on his face. You observe his features, finding him quite handsome. He's tall with brown skin, and short, black hair. The man's body is toned, and his eyes are a pretty hazel color.

"You're going to drool." Yurushi sneers, jamming his elbow into your side.

"I'm (Y/n)!" You grin, standing up straighter to appear more confident. "Don't confuse me with this nutjob!"

"Shut it." Yurushi growls.

Aesha giggles. "Oh, you two," She claps her hands together and smiles widely. "Today, I'll run Bashir through the rules and stuff. And I want you guys to pick up a box of snacks I ordered."

You nod. "Sure. Where is it?"

"If you two go upstairs, there are two men on the floor above us. To clarify, it's on the side of the bridge across from the hotel. The guys' names are Aziz and Daulah," Aesha explains, giving you a slip of paper. "Give this to one of them and say you're there to pick up a package for me."

"Got it."

"Thanks!" She grins, waving you and Yurushi off.

You and Yurushi walk down the street. The area is quieter than usual, which makes sense since it's a calm Saturday morning. As you're walking, you pass by a patch of grass. A bush rustles, causing your guard to rise. But you pay no mind to it, since Yurushi ignores it and continues forward. You follow him.

But then you feel eyes on you. To not raise any suspicion, you follow more closely to Yurushi and strike up a conversation with him.

"So, Tighnari invited me out, and I wanted to ask if you'd like to come with?"

Yurushi glances at you with his arms crossed, his lips in a thin line. "Will it just be you two?"

"I don't think so..." You hum. "Cyno will come along, and I think this man named Kaveh will be there too."

"I'll pass." He says, looking away.

"Okay." You nod, hiding the disappointment in your voice.

Tonight you'll be heading out for a drink with Tighnari and his friends. It's been a while since you saw him, so it'll be nice to catch up.

As you two get into the wooden lift, and it begins going up, you see a figure dressed in black and red with a hood, standing behind a few crates.

Your heart drops.

He was staring right at you. A Fatui Pyro Agent.

"Oh fuck, oh no." You mumble, legs feeling a bit weaker. A chill runs down your spine as goosebumps form all over your body.

Yurushi glances at you, raising a brow. "What's wrong?"

"Fa...Fa..." You suddenly find it hard to speak. What's wrong with me? Am I really that scared? I haven't seen anyone from the Fatui in a while. Was he following me? He must've been. You try to stop overthinking, to calm down, but you can't.

The lift comes to an abrupt stop, and when it does, you bolt off of it and hide behind a building. Yurushi follows you. He is getting annoyed at your odd behavior.

Yurushi peers behind the building, glaring at your huddled up figure. "What the fuck are you on?"

"I..." You mutter, unsure if you should tell your co-worker anything. "Well, you see..."
