After landing a job at Victoria's Secret as a cashier, Diarmuid had quickly grown popular among the female customers.

Perhaps too popular.

His wife didn't mind. In fact, she found it terribly amusing. That is, until the catfights broke out.

At this moment, she was seated outside the store on a bench, sipping fruit juice and observing the hordes of women who harangued her husband.

Every one of them were throwing themselves at him, vying for his attention by batting their eyelashes and pressing their cleavage against his body. Eritrea nearly choked on her beverage from laughing so much.

"Yare, yare." she exclaimed in Japanese. "It appears there are downsides to being too attractive."

Diarmuid, through glances in between clamoring lingerie and bosoms, spotted his dearly beloved waiting outside for his shift to finish, chuckling to herself while she was at it. He laughed wryly when he heard her opinion, since she had voiced it both verbally and telepathically.

Around him, things were getting heated amongst the females. Tension vibrated through the perfumed air as the women exchanged hostile glances. The claws, as Diarmuid would later put it, were about to come out.

"I was here first!" shouted a busty blonde at a brunette.
"He said he would help me before you!"
"Now, ladies I-" began Diarmuid, but his attempts at peacemaker were to no avail.

More female customers closed in, each of them arguing over who should be serviced first by the devastatingly handsome cashier. They came closer and closer, forming a human wall around Diarmuid and suffocating the poor man.

This is it. This is how I go. Death by cleavage.

Just before he was submerged by the crowd, he cried out in desperation.

"ANATAAA!!!"

"Mattaku, I've been having too much fun." said Eritrea in calm tones, standing up and tossing the empty drink into a wastebasket.

Then with a smirk on her lips and fire in her eyes, she dashed towards her knight in distress.

"I'M COMING, HONEYYY!!!"

The End.
