With the weekend finally present, Mitsuri and Shinobu practically begged to take you shopping.

It's not like you were even against it, you're wardrobe was definitely a little empty compared to your one back home.

The pink and green haired girl knocked on your door at the early hours of 11am.

You dragged your feet the door, slippers still on.

"Good morning!" she smiled.

"Mornin' " you responded back groggily.

You invited her in, and she immediately made her way to your kitchen, perching herself on the kitchen counter.

You followed after her, immediately set some coffee to brew before turning to face her.

"Okay so Shinobu is meeting us there, but I figured I'd come and pick you up, you know, out of courtesy and then we can buy a bunch of clothes and go out to eat and then make it home before dark!"

"Sounds like a plan," you said before a yawn escaped your mouth.

-

After Mitsuri sat with you as you ate breakfast, you hopped in the shower and finished getting ready.

It was still winter, of course, so after laying up with a thermal or two, you slipped into a matching set gifted by your mother.

Both the hoodie and flared trousers as part of the set were a beautiful midnight blue colour.

Plus, they kept you warm, so that was a bonus.

But just as you were about to leave, there was another knock at the door.

You quickly ran to open it, slightly surprised at who it was.

"Tomioka...what are you doing here?"

"Good morning, Miss L/n, I hope I'm not interrupting."

He locked eyes with you rather intently.

"And Kanroji," he nodded at Mitsuri, who had spawned next to you.

"I was just about to head out. Everything okay?"

"I need you to sign a non-disclosure agreement,"

"Now...?"

"Yes now,"

"Uhh, okay, where is it?"

"At my office,"

You raised your eyebrows.

"So I have to go to your office, now,"

"Yes."

He was so dry you weren't so what to say.

"I'm literally about to go out, Tomioka,"

"It'll take 15 minutes, max. I'll drive you there and back myself. But the deadline for you to sign it is in half an hour,"

"Half an hour!?" You spluttered out.

"Just get in the car L/n, I'll explain on the way,"

You apologised to Mitsuri and proceeded to do exactly what Giyuu had said.

His car was parked just a few metres opposite the apartment block, and it was nice.

"Oh, you drive a bentley?"

"Yeah."

He unlocked the doors of the black car, and you placed yourself in the passenger seat.

"Since we'll be seeing each other a lot the next few months, you'll be exposed to a lot of unreleased perfumes and other sensitive and confidential information. That is why you must sign the NDA,"

"Good to know. I can confirm my lips will be sealed,"

After that, you drove in silent for the rest of the very short drive to Giyuu's expensive and scarily large office.

He parked directly outside the entrance and got out straight out of the car, which you took as a signal to do the same.

He pressed a card against the handle of the door, and it opened automatically.

"Wait, slow down," you called out to Giyuu, who you were close to losing.

The last thing you wanted was to be lost in an office you'd never been in before.

The man listened, and it wasn't long before you were glued by his side in an awkward silence once more.

Giyuu guided you to a place that you assumed to be his own office.

On his desk sat a collection of papers, with the word 'non disclosure agreement' in bold on the first page.

"The contract only takes up the first two pages," he said calmly before handing you a pen.

You delicately picked up the first two pages so you could read them better.

Giyuu stood by the door, watching you like hawk. It was rather intimidating, but your focus on reading the contract drew you away from his demeanour.

You quickly scribbled down your signature after a few minutes and held out the papers to him.

"Just leave it on my desk," he informed before holding the door open for you.

You ended up taking the elevator back down to save time, and by that point, you couldn't bear the silence anymore.

"So, is this office busy at the weekend?"

"Depends," he shrugged before slipping his into his pocket "today there's just myself, and of course, you technically,"

"It's a nice place," you said, as the elevator came to a halt and the doors opened.

"Thanks,"

-

Giyuu stuck to his word and drove you back to the apartment block.

"Aren't you heading up as well?" you asked.

"I have a meeting,"

"That's a shame. Well, have a good day, Tomioka, and thank you for driving,"

You could've sworn the corner of his mouth twitched.

"You're welcome, L/n," he ended with before driving away down the road.

Mitsuri was still waiting for you at your apartment, pretty much in the same place you had left her.

Her head snapped up as you walked through the door.

"All good?" she asked.

"Yep! He's so blunt, though. It was a struggle to get a conversation going with him,'

"Give him time," Mitsuri reassured as you regrabbed your bag and headed back out the door.

"Sooo are we walking or?" you asked.

"I just texted Shinobu, and she agreed to come pick us up!"

"Can't wait!" You slipped your hands into your pockets, the cold air nipping at your skin.

-

It was a matter of minutes before Shinobu pulled, and thank god the first thing you felt when you got in her car was a blast of hot air.

"Oh my god, Shinobu, you angel,"

She gave a soft smile before pressing her foot down on the accelerator.

"Where are we actually going?" you asked.

"There is the most INCREDIBLE shopping centre about 20 minutes away. Trust me, it's love at first sight," Mitsuri explained.

Shinobu laughed softly. "We go there all the time. Or whenever we're not working at least,"

Waves of excitement rushed you through, and it was therapeutic. After your first official week at your new job, you were craving something a little more social.

And hopefully, that's exactly what you were about to get.
