Pact

5

You get up early in the morning, showering and doing your morning routine right away. You grab the bag with your tablet, also making sure to grab your laptop and put it in the same bag. You begin walking to your office, having finally finished the week of being around the MSBY team. You stop at a cafe to get something light to eat for breakfast, and your favorite coffee.

The moment you get to the right floor in the building, you see a large group of your coworkers gathering and whispering amongst themselves. You raise an eyebrow in confusion, but continue making your way to the room you usually work in. Well, you tried to get there.

"Hold up! Yo, L/n-san!" A somewhat familiar voice calls out to you.

You turn, seeing four volleyball players emerge from the large group of people. Your eyes widen at the sight. "What are you all doing here?"

Atsumu grins. "No practice."

Bokuto and Hinata jump in excitement. "We wanted to see where you work!"

"So you three dragged Sakusa-san along?"

Atsumu shook his head. "Actually, this was Omi-kun's idea."

You look surprised, turning to face the tall male. "Your idea?"

Sakusa shrugs. "I just wanted to see my lover."

Gasps ring through the floor. You could hear people murmuring about you from every direction. You felt heat build in your face from the embarrassment of your deal being announced to everyone you work with.

Your boss rushes up to you, a nervous look on his face. "L/n? Is this true? Are you dating one of the players from MSBY?"

You sigh, feeling drained of all energy. "Uh, well, you see-"

Sakusa stands beside you, cautiously draping an arm over your shoulders, hoping you were clean. "We started dating as they were leaving last night. It's not serious yet, but I felt it would be nice to see them as much as possible while starting our relationship. It's not a problem if I stay with them all day since I don't have practice, is it?"

Your boss sweats heavily, unsure of how to handle this situation. Ultimately, he decided he didn't want to risk MSBY changing their mind about who puts out the article if a member was denied a request. "No problem at all. Feel free to stay as long as you like. We can have someone stop by L/n's office and supply food and drinks."

You blink, trying not to keep the blank expression on your face. You force a smile, hoping it looked believable. "Sakusa, darling, are your teammates also joining me while I work on the article?" You slowly turn to him, a dangerous look in your eyes telling him that you don't work well with many people surrounding you. If there was one thing about you that was made a fact in this office, it's that you hate anyone or anything that can distract you while you're doing important work.

Sakusa closes his eyes, trying to act like he's smiling even though his lips form a straight line under his mask. "Why of course not. I told them not to come at all and they didn't listen. It'll be just you and I in your office." He kept his voice sweet, trying to make everyone believe that there were feelings between you two.

Bokuto deflates. "But I wanted to stay."

Hinata has a pout on his face. "I was hoping we could watch as you type up the article."

Sakusa sends a glare their way. "No. You guys need to go away. I think they need no more than one person in the room with them. You don't know how they work."

You start turning away. "I'm going to my office." Sakusa's arm falls off of you as you begin walking away.

The tall, dark haired male quickly follows you, easily keeping stride with you. "So, can this be considered a date?"

"It's a hindrance to me. I don't do well with people around. I work best alone, where there's nothing or no one to distract me."

"I won't distract you. I'll sit away from you and only talk when you're taking breaks. It'll be almost like I'm not even there."

You roll your eyes. "As long as you don't bother me, you can do whatever you want." You open the door to your office, closing it once he was inside, before anyone else could try entering.

From where you stood, you heard Atsumu's voice. "Can we get shown around the building?" Someone immediately began catering to the guests.

You walk to your desk, taking out your laptop and tablet. You take the information typed on the tablet, typing it into the laptop in a neat and organized way. You were a pro at writing, so it would be easy for you to make this article a good one since you have everything you need for it.

Sakusa sat on the couch, eyes trained on you. "Do you need or want anything?"

You shake your head, not looking away from your screens. "I'm good. Make yourself comfortable, though."

"Is everything in here clean?"

You nod, still not looking at him. "I make sure the office gets a deep cleaning after I leave the office, or just everyday since I wasn't here for the past week. No one else is allowed inside this room once it's clean, up until I come back here."

Sakusa hums, making himself more comfortable. "So am I just going to be sitting here all day while you work?"

"I didn't invite you here, and I'm busy with work. Not my fault you came while I'm busy."

"Then be less busy. How much do you work on a daily basis?"

"At least 12 hours a day. I write almost nonstop, maybe take a few quick breaks plus meals during the day. I try to make sure I have all my work finished before the deadline." You pause what you're doing, actually looking at him and meeting his gaze. "Are you going to be gaining my attention frequently?"

He smirks, removing his mask. "As long as I'm bored, I'm gonna seek entertainment from you."
