       Martin had a problem.
       What had begun as a simple attraction had blossomed and bloomed into full-blown romantic feelings.
Martin was confused.
       Jon had been nothing but cruel to him, and Martin still loved him. How utterly mind-boggling!
       "And suddenly I started developing these... FEELINGS for Tim! It's just.... why can't this be just like a normal job?" Martin asked, slamming his head into his desk while Sasha fluffed up the ginger boy's hair.
       "Hey, I get it. Worms and workplace relationships aren't what any of us signed up for. If the pay weren't so good, then all of us would've quit by now." Sasha said, running her hands soothingly through her coworker's and childhood friend's curls.
       Martin just let out a defeated groan as he kept his head on his desk, leaning into his friend's touch as she continued to run her soft, nimble fingers through his curls. Sasha was in the process of pulling her hand out of Martin's hair as Jon walked in, not even realizing that Sasha was in the room.
       "Martin, I need you to get me those statements filed so that I can record them, I don't care if you have a headache or if your head hurts, get it done." Jon barked out the orders before swiftly leaving the room, as if staying near Martin was an insult to him.
