ᐢ..ᐢ﹒Horrible day, as always... I was in my office, going through more stupid papers and writing things down. But my attention to the papers was ruined when I heard quick footsteps coming towards me.
"Boss!"

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒Ah, yes... It was my assistant again. As always giving me reports late.
This is Theodore, I've known him for a long time. Since I was just a young man starting this factory. He was the son of one of my first experiments, who died during labor. I trained him to be my new assistant... I just didn't know his behavior would be so... Doubtful around me.
"You took too long again..."

"... I-I know... I'm sorry."

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒Sometimes I feel like he has a lot of feelings for me, and sometimes, I think he's even in love. I don't doubt it, but it would be very strange for me.
Sometimes, he always stares at me... Deep down in my soul, I feel like he wants to spend more time with me. But... For what? Not that that's a problem... But I don't see much need for it.

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒Anyway... While I looked at more of these damn new machine reports. Theo again just stared at me for who knows how many hours, until I look at him again. He's always been like this... Specifically with me. But I never remember him being like that even before he was a teenager, I might just be going crazy...
"Hmm... Interesting..."

"I-I know, r-right? Um... Sir, do you want anything else...?"

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒He always asks me this same question, often... It seems like he really wants to spend more time with me.
"Uh, yes... A hot coffee, again."

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒I've never denied a cup of black coffee with sugar... And I couldn't deny that whenever Theo makes coffee, it tastes delicious. I hope it won't be any different, ever.

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒I leave Walden's office, walking through the corridors looking for the cafeteria to make that coffee! I don't know what came over me today... I'm feeling so happy! And I feel a little needy...? This might be a little weird, but I would love to spend more time with my boss! Even if I feel like he avoids me... But at least I try.
Finally finishing my coffee, I try to walk as cautiously as possible so as not to spill a drop on the floor. At least the office is very close.
"... Here, sir."

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒I finally reach the office door, slowly approach the desk. Lending the cup to Walden, I try not to be so weird and... Well... I think this would be another opportunity for me to try again!
"Um... Sir... Can I stay a little longer?"

"... Mhm."

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒I don't know how to describe whether that was a yes or a no... But anyway, I stayed there for a few more hours. He was drinking the coffee I delivered, taking notes and so on. But I still feel like he's avoiding me...
With every minute that passes, I try to get his attention. Or moving, or trying to get him to look at me, or do something.
I could already feel my tail moving irritably, not that I was getting irritated... But I felt a little alone, even though I had him by my side. I wanted to be able to say everything I felt, but the fear of something worse happening was greater.
"... Um... Boss..."

"Hm?"

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒DAMN IT! What do I say next??? He's looking at me now!! What am I doing!?
I feel my face get a little hot and my fingers intertwine with nervousness.
"Are you... Okay?"

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒AAAAH! I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE TO SAY! DUMB, DUMB!
"U-uh... Can... I can... Tell you something...?"

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒Wait... I'M GOING TO TAKE COURAGE AND SAY EVERYTHING!?
I feel my body getting shaky.
"Um... Yes?"

"Well... I-it's about something a little personal..."

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒Damn... Do I really talk? Do I say that I am very much in love with him and that I find him the most attractive person or an important person to me? What would he think of me!? AAAAH I DON'T KNOW!
"U-uuhh... Erm..."

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒Now I was literally sweating from my forehead, I could feel my face burning with embarrassment. My thoughts were bothering me more and more! I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach...
"Uh... N-nothing- I.. I think I'll go... I-I'm not feeling very well..."

ᐢ..ᐢ﹒I then run out of there. Going to the bathrooms and locking myself in one of them.

Writer's note: Hello! My name is Taihga, writer of this story.

If this first part was a little short, that's my intention! The second part will be the same scenario, but from Walden's point of view!

I hope you enjoyed this first part, it took me a long time to post because I was thinking of ideas to start this story.

Bye Bye! Until the next part!
