(A/N: Hey girliepops guess whos back after AO3 got ddos'd and now i have 0 distraction while we all try to keep out sanity intact. oh yeah wait this fic was a thing, should probably update it a lil huh? Just keep in mind im an Aroace person and i have 0 idea what im doing but thats fine pff. Chapters a bit shorter, mostly cause still lacking writing motivation and still in that stupid block)

Well....this is happening. To be honest, you never were on an official "date" before and for it to be someone with such a status in society is scaring you, but maybe you just needed to lay these thoughts aside, just pretend he was a normal person yeah? Yeah. that would work.

As you dressed in a more formal wear, well as formal as you could for the money you had, even with the raise and all, most of it still went to rent and necessities even with Phobos covering a huge part of it, this city was nuts.

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

As you walked up to the stairs you...already saw him and your jaw nearly dropped. 
The guy surely valued fashion alright? Standing there in a tailored tuxedo with his lense replaced with a rose tinted monocle held by a gold chain and hair tied up in a tight pony tail, claws painted in an expensive gold like colour with the shine to replicate said metal, he honestly made you seem like a peasant in comparrission. 

You swallowed hard as you approached him on this cold and dark evening, the soft yellow light of the establishment being the only light source. You saw a few soldats around, probably to keep pedestrians away from the 2 of you, not that anyone ordinary not working at the science tower would ever dare to approach the director without reason anyway, that would be a death sentence in the worst way possible.
The director grinned, sharp, babboon like canines showing, an expression you saw rarely on him when he wasnt glaring everyone in his view down.

"Good evening, Y/N. I assume you had safe travels, correct?" He asked, his usual cold tone in his voice was gone, replaced with a strange warmness to it which you, yourself couldnt 100% describe, it was unfamiliar to hear it on him, almost uncanny.
"Uh, yeah, sure." You just replied, the nervousness only really getting to you now that he basecly towered over you. However you did try your best to sound confident.
"Pleasing to hear. Now it is useless to stand outside among these peasants. I suggest we go inside." His tone was warm however it still had some sort of commanding aura to it which he struggled to get rid off, it was obvious from his wording and tone that he tried his best but your best guess was that he was used to this commanding tone so this more warm and requesting one was unfamiliar to the both of you.
"Good suggestion, yeah, im not a fan of being stared at from others either" You admitted, trying to lift the more awkward air around you two.

Once you sat down on a table however, the awkward air seemed to thicking, neither of you spoke, even you could see the Directors eye darting all over the place, he was probably trying just as hard as you to think of a topic to talk about.
"Sooooo, hows your evening going?" You thought that was at least going to get you two to have a mediocre conversation, not the most creative of topics you had to admit to yourself but its better than no topic at all afterall.
"Some issues here and there with the Towers security and someone who may have been tricking the systems but its nothing to be concerned about. My workmen are already finding a solution." He admitted, which made you internally smile, usually hes not one to admit faults or errors in his faction, the fact he was doing it to you meant he must have trusted you enough not to judge him on this imperfections.
"Oh, sorry to hear about that, hope that gets resolved soon would be pretty bad if anything happened." You just replied, you were still pretty awkward but you at least tried.
"As stated my workmen are working on it. But this is not the time to discuss the workfield. How has your day treated you?" The cyclops decided to change the topic in which, all honesty you were happy about.
"Oh yeah you know how it goes, the regular, i did find a cat though, may adopt him but i dont know yet." You said, at least it got the 2 of you going as you kept talking about this cat you had found. Cats are rare in Nevada nowadays so it was a pretty big thing to talk about afterall.

You did try to talk about more topics, turns out Phobos had a sibling too he hasnt seen in years, disappeared one day and not even a tracker would find him. Honestly you decided not to pry further into it as it could still have open wounds that shouldnt be salted. You couldnt help however to look at his face, even if you had to literally stare up at him, sure you were taller now than you were before your "death" but he was still taller than you, and honestly your neck started to hurt from how much you looked at him but it was a price you were willing to pay. 

He seemed to have picked up on it eventually and thats where things really started to pick up and the ice got broken between you two. You really didnt want this night to end after a while, first you were unsure about this all but now, you genuinely enjoyed it.

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

It was only at 3 am where you two really got out, the cold air hitting you like a train, however you couldnt care less, for once you were really happy and god knows how long it had been since you felt like this.
"I hope you enjoyed this evening, Y/N. I hope to see you on Monday." The director spoke, his voice back to his cold, professional demeanor as he looked down at you.
"Oh yeah, ill be there. I guess ill see you then?" You said to him, you were honestly suprised how fast his speech tone could shift if he had to shift it.
"Of course. But before I take my leave." He said leaning down before planting a kiss on your cheek, leaving you burning red, your heart pounding against your chest. Which only left Phobos chuckling again as he added "See you on monday."
"Yeah...see you on monday." You said with this stupid grin on your face as he left, his soldats making sure the area was still save to be in.
