The Alpha Wolf Of Building Zero (Nanbaka x OC)

Don't overwork yourself

"Yaaaawwwwn~. God, I'm so tired.", Ayumi sighed, while she did her paperwork in her office. Sluggishly she leaned over her desk and blinked wearily. Yesterday she had visited Building 13 and had spent her time by playing card games with the infamous Cell 13, and afterward, she had been at Building 5 and had battered the supervisor to show him that she was worthy of her title.

And when she had returned to Building 0 for one last check on her inmates and assistant guards, she had found out that some guards hadn't finished their usual businesses because they weren't used to the new schedule. Everything had been omnishambles, even Akira and Tsuyoshi hadn't been able to deal with it.

So Ayumi had decided to pull an all-nighter and had taken the night shift, she even had sent everyone home after they had finished their tasks because they all had been stressed out as hell and wouldn't be able to do their jobs right if they had stayed.

And now she was on the verge to fall asleep on her desk due to the lack of sleep. But she wasn't blaming anyone for this. It's a new situation for everyone, so they all had to get used to it first. Yet Ayumi was sure that her guards were able to do a better job today.

"Alpha! Hey, Alpha!" She suddenly heard someone calling her and flinched. Her eyes snapped open and she looked around startled. She hadn't noticed that she had dozed off. "Alpha, is something wrong with you? It's unusual for you to be absent-minded.", Akira stated and took some files off her desk.

"O-Oh, Akira. Sorry, I . . . I was just so focused on my paperwork. Is something the matter?", she asked him and scratched her cheek embarrassed. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow and took a pull of his cigarette.

"Focused on your work? That's not what I see." He grabbed the sheet of paper she had been writing since now and pointed at it. "Or do you call that work?" Ayumi sweat dropped as she looked at it. The whole paper was laced with doodles instead of a report for the warden. When and why exactly had she done that? She wasn't able to answer him that.

"You sure you're okay? You look exhausted. Maybe you should tell the warden about it and take the day off." He scrunched up the paper and threw it in the dustbin. Giving her a soft pat on the head, he said in a gentle tone: "You're still young. No need to work yourself to unconsciousness. Get some rest now and then." Ayumi looked up at him and smiled. "Are you worried about me, Akira? When did you become so nice?"

Immediately Akira took his hand away from her hair and blushed embarrassed. "Me . . . nice? D-Don't be ridiculous! A-And why should I be worried about you? I-I just . . . just don't want to take care of your damn work when you get sick. It'll be such a pain in the ass!", he denied, crossed his arms and looked away from her with a flushed face. Ayumi just giggled. Even he had his cute moments from time to time, even though he didn't want to admit it.

"Come on, Akira-senpai~. No need to act tough in front of our supervisor. You know she accepts everyone equally. Show her your brotherly feelings, man!", Tsuyoshi sneered at his colleague, seesawing on his chair while he looked at the scene. An irk mark appeared on Akira's head for that. "What brotherly feelings?! Why are you butting in anyway?! Get back to work, you lazyass!", he shouted and glared daggers at him.

"Oh, no need to be shy, bro. Everyone still loves you, even though you're such a softie in reality. Rough though cream puff." "Aaaaaarrrrgghhh! Not another word! I'm not a softie!" Enraged Akira grabbed Tsuyoshi by the scruff of the neck and gave him a good shaking, screaming, insulting and telling him how useless he was. His colleague just laughed at him amused and let him do his thing.
