The plan was simple. We already found their stash of uniforms in a closet. Now to get out of our facility we needed a way around that WICKED worker, Aris. While we had talked about it, just knocking him out and running probably wasn't the best idea. We had nothing to bait him with, which we no doubt he would have accepted if we did. We sure as hell weren't going to trust that he’d let us stroll on by.

So that’s when Sonya suggested the worst idea in the history of ideas.

“None of us know how to flirt. I mean the only guy we’ve been around is your older brother,”I pointed out.

“I know, but it just has to throw him off for a minute. That's all,”She justified.

“Well I’m not doing it on account of I was the one who suggested violence,”Harriet stated.

“I’m the youngest therefore that would be weird,”Sonya pointed out.

“I’m socially awkward, meaning it would just look really sad,”I defended.

“Again, we just need to confuse him,”Harriet repeated.

“But I don't want to try and flirt with the WICKED worker,”I complained. “Or anyone.”

“Just take one for the team, okay? Then, we’ll never have to deal with them after this,”Sonya promised.

“But-”
“Just go. We’re wasting time,”Harriet reminded me.

With a frustrated sigh, I put a smile on my face, attempted to fix my hair with my hands, and walked straight towards him. At my footsteps he glanced up and almost cocked his head. That's definitely confusion at least.

“Hey,”I greeted, standing just close enough to him that my skin didn't crawl.

“Uh, hey?”

“Are you new? I’ve never seen you around, and I would definitely remember you,”I drew out, looking at him as I leaned against the wall. He just stared at me with a blank expression before doing the same.

“Apparently, you would not,”He responded, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Strange. I don't know how someone like you could slip my mind,”I shrugged, giving him a grin which he didn't return. If anything, I seemed to be psyching him out as he messed with the sleeves of his shirt.

“So you aren't new here?”He asked, looking me up and down.

“I just barely got here. Not that it makes a difference. After all, I know you now,”I said, subtly moving closer to the door. Daring to glance at the keys on his belt, I worked out how I would get them before quickly meeting his gaze.

“Not officially. I’m Aris,”He ‘introduced’, holding out his hand.

“I’m Y/N,”I actually introduced, accepting it. Before I could react he kissed the back of it making my face flush. No longer seeming to think anything of it, he moved just a little closer, making me see that he was around an inch taller than me. Taking in his tan skin, short hair, and fit figure from who knows what, being next to someone on the other side was almost surreal. He just looks so much like the regular subjects that if it weren't for the suit he actually would blend in. Still, the thought of him doing that just seemed like some sort of crime. The thought of actually flirting or being with one, now that would just straight up be forbidden from both sides.

Trying to block out those thoughts, I averted my gaze as he leaned so close to me that I swore I could feel his breath on my neck. This was absolutely not part of the plan.

“Nice try, love. Though, if you want to flirt to sneak out at least be ready for someone to happily play along,”He whispered in my ear, making my heart beat faster.
