Otabek

Otabek woke up early the next morning. It was 6:20 AM and Otabek was tired, but nothing coffee won't fix. Yuri was in the other room, snoring up a storm. He had went to sleep early probably because of all the shit that went down the day before.

Otabek turned on the old coffee maker and as it was doing it's job it broke down. He glanced at the machine and punched it. It wasn't a good punch, but it was decent. The coffee machine started working again and Otabek gave a smirk.

"Did you just punch an old coffee maker?" Yuri had said yawning.

Yes

"W-what, no?! Anyways" Otabek segues, "What are you doing up? I thought you'd be asleep after yesterday?"

"It kept racing through my mind, until I fell asleep." Yuri relpied

"Yeah... Oh, by the way I have work today. So, you can stay here if you want, but after yesterday I think you don't want to."

"You've got that right."

Otabek poured himself a cup of coffee and the two friends talked. The two buds talked, until they were almost late.

"Hey Otabek, what time are we supposed to get ready to go your workplace thing?" Yuri asked

"Around 7:45, why?"

The two chums looked over at the clock. It read 8:45. Otabek was supposed to be at work 45 minutes ago. Shit

"FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!" Otabek swore "I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK 45 MINUTES AGO! GET READY QUICKLY! GO, GO GO!" 

And then Otabek saw it. When Yuri was racing back to his room, for a slit second Otabek saw something different. He wasn't sure what it was though. In less than 5 minutes they were ready,  and raced out the door to a small, but decent looking building. Otabek pushed open one of the glass double doors, and walked up to woman with dark hair at the front desk.

"Otabek, you're late," the woman said with an Italian accent.

"Sorry, Sara." Otabek replied.

"Do you know how much trouble your in?! Mickey is having an anxiety attack, JJ's hiding his insecurities and being more of a douche than usual! Finally, Minami is drowning his sorrows in competitive figure skating!" Sara yelled

"Men's or woman's?"

"It's pair skating, we're doomed."

"Have you tried getting Mickey to calm down? He is your fuck buddy- I mean twin brother."

"Ha, ha, very funny," Sara was clearly wasn't amused.

"Wait, what's going on?" Yuri said interrupting conversation 

"Sara this is my friend, Yuri. He's a key witness to my research article," Otabek said.

"Well, just be prepared 'cause the boss is coming in today." Sara said, looking dead inside "I'm praying for you guys."

The two amigo's walked up stairs and to just as Sara described, complete chaos. Everyone was ranting in a different language. Mickey in Italian, JJ in Canadian and Minami was just singing along to whatever figure skating routine song was playing. Otabek was surprised by the chaos.

"SARA! STIAMO ANDANDO A MORIRE, IL MIO AMORE! DIVIRE I TUOI PREGHIERA! QUESTO FUCKER STA PER FARMI LONTANO DA ME SARA!"

"WELL AT LEAST IF THINGS GO BAD I WON'T GET FIRED RIGHT?! I MEAN MY ARTICLES ARE THE BEST! I'M CANADIAN, EVERYONE LIKES CANADA, RIGHT?! "

"GUYS SHUT UP, THE BEST ROUTINE IS COMING ON! STAMMI VICINO..."

Otabek clapped his hand and everything stopped. Even Yuri was shocked. Otabek started shouting out orders and in what seen like no time at all, everything was back to normal. The cubical's were clean and nobody was in a panicked state. Everyone was freaked out because the boss was coming. The boss looked like a ray of sunshine, but is dead inside. His name is Emil Nekola. Someone was running up the stairs, it was Sara.

"Guys, get ready Emil just parked his car." Sara said, out of breath.

"Thanks Sara" JJ said.

Someone's coming up the stairs. Yuri's eye widened and Minami's knee's went weak. Everyone gathered in one line. The door to the up stairs office opens and cheery man with caramel hair and blue eyes.

"How is everyone today?" Emil says happily.

"GOOD, SIR!" everyone responds.

"JJ have you stopped being a little bitch?" Emil says.

"YES, SIR" JJ says

"That's a lie and we know it," after Emil had said that he patted JJ on the head. "Sara do you have time to go to dinner with me tonight?" 

"NO, SIR" Mickey said.

"Ha! It was worth a try." Emil said laughing a bit. Then, he spotted Yuri. "And who are you? Sara did you hire a new minion - I mean employee?"

"I-I'M YURI PLISETSKY, S-SIR! I'M HELPING OTABEK ALTIN W-WITH A RESEARCH ARTICLE!" Yuri stuttered.

"Sorry, It's just your eyes remind me of my old friends. Their names were Viktor and Carmila, but that's a different story for a different time." Emil said. "Oh well, this was just a check-up visit. I'll be on my way now."

And just like that Emil left. Otabek had hear Yuri mention his mother before and believed that her name was Carmila. Emil had also mentioned Viktor, this new info was shocking to Otabek and Yuri. How did Emil know them?
