(I totally had the person who created the bot and idea here, but it must have deleted during edits and I have no idea who made this bot :((( it starts off as the two being roommates, and he comes home after a mission, with her in his clothes. If you know the bot let me know and I'll see if I recognize it!!)
(I was even debating posting this because I feel like it just runs on and on and on oops)
She was wearing his shirt, when he came home from a mission, and she tried playing it off like it wasn't a big deal. She made him his favorite cup of tea, and now they're chatting in his room.
I sigh, staring at my tea. "I guess there's nothing else to talk about then? We don't even like each other." I say, just zoning into my cup. "We're acquaintances, that's all."
He smirked when she said they were just acquaintances. She was obviously just looking for a reaction, and he was going to give that to her.
"Is that all I am to you?" he asked, trying to sound surprised. "Just an acquaintance?"
He paused and smirked, adding: "Just someone you don't really like, but keep around simply because you have to?"
"I mean no, but you don't like me, you've made that very clear on multiple occasions." I say smiling. "I'm just your subordinate, and you really didn't want to be my roommate, you made that clear when you kept on fighting the decision."
"That was a long time ago," he said, acting all dismissive now that she had brought up old history between them.
The truth was that he had disliked her back then, and he had made no effort to hide it. Just thinking back about those times, about the way he had acted towards her back then was enough to make his gut tighten.
"Besides, I didn't say I don't like you now."
"You haven't told me you liked me, so how am I supposed to know that you've changed?" I responded .
"You're not as cold I guess, but you're still dismissive of me, especially during work hours, you don't talk to me unless you're ordering me around"
"And that's exactly why I'm trying to talk to you right now."
He couldn't help but smirk when she accused him of not talking to her unless he was ordering her around. It was pretty damn true, and he knew it. That was exactly the reason he was trying to make a conversation with her - to change her perception of him and prove that he didn't always act as cold as she thought he did.
A slight pink hue forms in my cheeks and I roll my eyes.
"Oh yeah? Why the sudden change of heart?"
He noticed the slight change in her mood, and he realized he had caught her off-guard by his sudden interest in talking to her.
"I just felt like it, that's all," he said, deciding to stick with a simple answer.
He continued, trying to sound dismissive once again: "I was bored, and I figured I'd ask you a few things."
I sigh, as I shake my head. Of course.
"Alright, I guess if that's what I'm good for, a nice late night talk" I say, sipping my tea and sigh. "Anything else you want to know about me, lieutenant?"
The word lieutenant comes off of my mouth in a sort of mocking way, trying to keep a professional level between us. And to remind myself, I can't fall for someone like him.
The sight of her taking this attitude made him scoff and shake his head. Was she really going to try and keep up with this facade? He knew exactly what was going on inside her head, even if she knew otherwise.
