"We've been here for an hour, do you really think he hasn't noticed our presence yet" a low voice asked.
"I think not, he's still asleep. Maybe his dad was testing him last night- you know if he's already fit to take over. You know how his old man has been pushing him".
The voices made Z frown in his sleep, feeling annoyed he turned to his other side, holding whatever was in his arms even tighter.
His movement made the guys chuckle softly- which made Z frown even more in his sleep. Giving up on his precious nap he opened his eyes- not even surprised to see Yuan and Cyriel standing in front of him, in front of the couch he was taking a nap on.
Z rubbed his eyes lightly as a soft yawn escaped from his lips, "when did you guys get in here".
Yuan snickered as he took a seat next to the still sleepy Z, "we just came by to see hows the future boss doing, but instead of finding a tough guy. We found a kid cuddling a big Pikachu plushee".
There was a phone suddenly blocking his vision, as he started to focus on the device he noticed the picture. It was a picture of him sleeping peacefully while holding a plushee- just as Yuan had said. But the thing that he noticed was how peaceful he looked in the picture, unlike how he really is. He looked serene as if he had no worries.
"Guys why are you suddenly so obsessed with me, you keep taking pictures of me" Z said after clearing his throat, "Yuan are you gay for me or something like that, because it's fine if you have a crush on me".
Z had meant it as a joke but he wasn't sure if his friend would realise that as well.
The oldest among the three raised his eyebrows as he looked down at the younger one, not entirely sure if he was joking or not.
"Yah crazy guy" Cyriel yelled as he slapped Z with a pillow, "Yuan is taking pictures of you so if you become the big boss, you'll still approach us the same way".
Z chuckled softly, "don't worry. I won't be the kind of boss that will start treating everyone differently".
It was odd for him to hear his friends say these things. As if becoming the boss would change him entirely, his father already figured out that his son wouldn't change his personality outside from work.
This time it was Yuan who slapped Z with a pillow, "you're already treating us differently, it all started when you met that girl".
Without realizing it, a smile had formed on his face as he started to think about Latvia. Her cute smile, the way she got lost in her own thoughts. He remembers that time she was so deep in thoughts she forgot about the coffee she was preparing.
Suddenly a hand waved in front of his eyes.
"See, this is what we mean" Cyriel said, "you're suddenly daydreaming and treating us nicely. We wonder what happened to the 'I don't give a shit' Z".
"Guys I'm still the same Z, just more mature because of circumstances".
Because of his words he earned an eye roll from both his friends, they knew there was something else going on with Z- and they had the feeling that the girl had something to do with it.
