Requisite Perfection - Kalpas x Female Reader (HONKAI IMPACT)

Chapter I

CLANG! SMASH!

"What the hell is happening?!"

This strange brown machine leaped from desert to desert, making a pile of chocolate gooey mess everywhere.

"Damn it! This wasn't supposed to happen! I planned this special day for only her!"

All hell broke loose until a petite figure stepped in the room.

"What's going on?"

...

Work is piling up, stress is building up, and as Dr. MEI's assistant, you can't give up.

Later today, your friend Kalpas wanted to meet at dusk. He didn't give any details, just said to meet him in a room.

At least after all of your work was done, you could see him, like usual. It was exciting to see your crush.

Thinking of Kalpas motivated you to finish your work sooner. That way, you could spend the rest of your day with him.

But today was different. Even with Kalpas on your mind, you still couldn't escape the stress building up.

Honkai has been prevalent in many areas, herrschers were appearing more often, a sign of the end coming soon. When will you confess to Kalpas?

You pulled out your wallet and swooned over the photograph of him you "borrowed" from Elysia when she was scrapbooking memories of her friends.

Oh, he's a cutie. You thought.

Kalpas sat underneath a palm tree. His pale shirt was wide open, revealing his gray shirt torn at the top, so his pecs were partially exposed.

A wet, pastel orange towel slung over his shoulder, hiding those muscular biceps you saw back in the training room.

There was a gorgeous sunset view behind him, almost like the one Grieso painted with orange red and yellow hues.

Ouch. It was like stepping on shards of glass missing out on a fun trip. You were home sick with the flu.

"I wish I was there..." You whispered.

"What?" Dr. MEI's head snapped towards you.

"Nothing." You stuffed your wallet away and continued working, as usual.
