Chapter 30 : What's Next?

"This is such BULLSHIT!" Pantalone slammed his fists onto Xiao's desk, making the cup of coffee Xiao was sipping on ripple.

"I don't understand why you have to have you're little tantrum in my office." Xiao mumbled, but Pantalone didn't hear him.

"I should've killed him the first day I met him, then none of this would've happened!" Pantalone was basically twitching with anger now, "Someone would've found out some time or another." Xiao put down his coffee cup gently.

Pantalone pulled at his hair, "I can't believe him, that dick...I knew I should've never trusted him—" a bunch of more insults followed that, but they eventually just sounded like grumbles.

"Hey, I have a question." Xiao blurted, "What?" Pantalone snapped his head back at Xiao, his eye twitched.

"Are you two dating or something?" Xiao rested his head on his hand as he asked that.

"Me? Dating HIM?" Pantalone let out a loud 'ha!', which followed by silence.

"...kinda." Pantalone then suddenly looked away, a slight frown on his face. "I don't know. We never really talked about what we were." Pantalone sighed.

Is he gonna tell me some depressing shit right now? God, I hope not.
Xiao held back an eye roll.

Pantalone shook his head like he was getting rid of all the negative thoughts he had, "I have to go."

"Are you going to speak with Dottore?" Xiao asked, Pantalone clenched his jaw. He didn't want to admit it, but he was.

"So, what's next?" Vera asked while lounging on the couch.

"What do you mean?" Nikolai responded, looked through a few papers on his desk.

"What's next in our taking over the Fatui or whatever plan?" Vera sat up and turned to him.

"Oh, right. I was thinking about that earlier, I'm gonna visit him today, maybe stay the night then—" Vera cut him off, "Are you gonna kill him and pretend that he gave ownership to you?" Her eyes lit up.

"You have a creative mind, don't you?" Nikolai teased, "That would be a good plan if I was stupid."

Vera frowned, "Are you calling me stupid?"

"No, no...sort of, but the reason that wouldn't work is because no one in the Fatui knows me, they'd suspect me for murdering him right away. I'm just gonna stay at the Fatui's HQ and see if I can find out anything. That's all." Nikolai got up and walked over to Vera, sitting on the arm of the couch.

"And if you get caught?" Vera raised an eyebrow, "I won't." Nikolai gave her a reassuring look.

"Then you should text Albedo now," Vera suggested as she laid back again and closed her eyes. Nikolai nodded as he took out his phone.

Pantalone has been standing outside of Dottore's office door for about ten minutes now. Everyone that's walked by had given him weird glances.

Maybe I should just go.
Pantalone thought, it seemed like the best thing to do. He didn't really feel like fighting with Dottore right now.

Yeah...
Pantalone let out a big sigh before he turned around, getting ready to leave.

Out of nowhere the door swung open, hitting him in the back. He screeched and looked behind him to see Dottore glaring at him. He knew he was given him a death stare even if he was wearing a mask.

I wanna strangle Nikolai and Vera

also I wanted to share this part of the chapter that I deleted for some reason (i forget why) bc I thought it was funny :

"I don't know if he even wanted to be anything with me." Pantalone looked down at his hands while fidgeting with his rings.

"Well, he obviously wanted to be fucked by you a few weeks ago." Xiao snickered at his own joke. "You heard that?!" Pantalone's face suddenly got all red and he put head in his hands. "I knew we were being too loud..." his muffled voice said.
