Sitting in your office, you wait for someone to come in. Recently, you emailed him, saying there were things that you'd like to discuss with him. You gave him the address and time, so he should be here any minute. Then, the door bursts open, and there stands the blonde you invited. His red eyes are narrowed at you, but you smile and greet him.
"Hello, Lord Explosion Murder God Dynamite. It's a pleasure meeting you. I'm Y/n L/n of Y/nn's Tech."
"Yeah, and? Whaddya want with me? Something you wanted to discuss?"
"Yes. Have a seat."
"I'd rather stand."
"Fine then. I noticed your hero costume in a recent fight. It needs improvements. The whole thing.. It sucks."
"Excuse me?"
"I mean, look at it! It's so impractical! And you look like a pumpkin! I understand the thought process behind the gauntlets, but you could do way better. They're too big and they slow you down. Also, the human body produces more sweat in the neck and underarms than anywhere else. What you need is sweat sacks in those areas with a small tube to bring then to your hands. Also, something to help you produce more sweat without overheating."
"You called me here just to tell me the flaws of my hero costume?"
"No. I also have a proposal."
"Oh? And what's that?"
"I'll remake it. The whole thing."
"Ha! I'm not trusting some girl with my costume!"
"As a female, I assure you, it!l look better. AIso, that has nothing to do with my inventing abilities. I'm a genius."
"Please. You could never do it."
"Actually, I could. It could be done in three days tops."
"Liar. I don't have time for this-"
"Give me three days. It'll work. Come back at this time on Friday. It'll be done."
"And if you can't?"
"Do whatever you like. I'll even dress up as a clown for you, if that's what you'd like."
"You'll regret this."
"I won't. I assure you of that. But, if I succeed, you have to hold a press conference just to applaud my skills." You stand up and cross your arms. "You'll tell everyone that / did that, and that I'm the best tech support you've ever had."
"You're making a crazy bet that you'll loose."
"Oh, please. You know nothing.. I'm more talented than you could ever dream."
By Thursday afternoon, it's done. Smiling, you stand over your work. But, all of the exhaustion overtakes you. You haven't slept at all since starting. So, you go over to the mattress you keep in your workroom and lie down, falling asleep instantly. You need this nap.
Friday, he comes bursting in, finding you asleep. He grunts, which wakes you up. There he is. Yawning, you stand up and start to stretch.
"Sorry," you say. "I'm a bit tired. C'mere. It's done." You hand him the new costume. "Strip and put it on."
"Where's a room I can get changed in?"
"Don't have one. I'm a small business, y'know? This is the only room."
"I'M NOT GETTING CHANGED IN FRONT YOU!!!"
"I'Il look away! Sheesh!"
"How do I know you're not a pervert?"
"Pfft. Only when the guy's hot."
"Exactly. So I have every right to be worried."
"Sorry, hon. I'm not interested in blondes."
"Look away."
"Fine."
Shrugging, you turn around, not knowing what the big deal is. Once he's finished, you turn  around and look at him, grinning ear-to-ear. The material fits around him to the point his entire physique is outlined, which will be appealing to the female fans. The gauntlets have been replaced with sweat sacks, which weight way less and look less awkward. You can't even see them. You stayed with the initial color scheme, but made the while thing better. Happily, you clap.
"From awkward pumpkin to Halloween god!"
"Haha. Very funny. I'm shocked, really."
"It was mega easy. The hard part was channeling sweat without making you overheated. But I figured it out."
"Uh-huh."
"So, when's that press conference gonna be?"
"Not happening."
He walks out, and you scream in frustration. He didn't even pay you! All you asked for was a bit of publicity! Just to help your business a bit! That liar! That jerk! How dare he?!
Walking with a cup of coffee in your hands, you see a large crowd. Tilting your head to the side, you get a bit closer to see what all the commotion is about. Then, the blonde man in the midst of it points at you
"Her. She designed it and made it herself."
"Did she really?" asks a random fangirl. "What's so special about her?"
"She's special. Her abilities are astounding. So much so that I can say she's the best tech support I've found." Everyone appears irritated by his praise for you. It's jealousy. Happily, you beam. "But, she's also my girlfriend, so if you'll excuse me,I have a date today."
Shocked, you stand there, unable to move. But, when he grabs your hand and starts dragging you, you wake up. He's scowling and seeks angry, but still holds you hand.
Finally, you manage to say, "I'm not your-"
"Yes, you are. Now shut up."
"But-"
"SHUT UP!"
"Yes, Sir."
