Izumo x Reader / Coffee? - Part 2

~ Reader's POV ~

                 

"Izumo?" I questioned in a hushed voice.

"Hey there, (Y/n). You got a minute?"

I sat nestled in my desk at Scepter 4's headquarters, trying to get some paperwork done. It was only around eleven in the morning, but my back was already cramped from being stuffed in this chair and my fingers hurt from typing. It was going to be a long day; one I was not looking forward to either.

I was just about to submit another piece of work when my phone began ringing, distracting me from glaring out the window, trying to bask in the little rays of sun that made it past the glass.

It was an unknown number so I had picked it up – thinking nothing of it - and stating my name and my occupation (Blue clan regulations).

To my surprise, it was Izumo on the other end. We hadn't spoken since last week... when he asked me to go out for coffee.

"U-um," I stuttered, glancing around the room, none of my other co-workers had heard me mention his name by the looks of it, so I quickly saved my work, set my computer to "sleep" and excused myself from the room, softly closing the door behind me. "Now I do, I suppose." I shrugged, leaning against the wall and looking down the corridor to make sure no one would overhear.

Who knew what Munakata would do if he knew I was communicating with the reds on my own terms and not his orders.

"Good, I wanted to arrange a day for our date, when are you free?"

"Date?" I asked, surprised he used such a word.

I heard a huff on the other line and some shuffling, like someone was laughing.

"Yes, date. That's a proper term, a lady like you deserves it."

Subconsciously, heat rose to my cheeks and I bashfully looked down, letting my hair fall in my face, checking left and right once again, there was no one to see.

"W-well, I'm in the middle of work... a-and if my king hears us..." I trailed off, doubting my words.

Izumo only chuckled; he probably had a smug look on his face.

"Okay, I'll make it easy then, I'll pick you up this afternoon at 3:00 sharp. Sound good?"

I jumped off my spot against the wall, my nails finding a spot to lightly dig into uniform on my side.

"Woah! Wait-"

"Are you free today?"

"Well, I guess so... I should be done everything by around two." I thought out loud.

"Great! That works perfectly then."

I placed my hand on my forehead, rubbing it gently, "Yeah, alright that sounds good."

"See you at three then."

And then there was a click as the line went dead.

I exhaled deeply, pulling the phone from my ear and watching it warily, as if for some reason he would call me back and give me yet another heart attack.

I clutched the device tightly in my hand and turned around, heading back into the room.

"Good afternoon, Ms. (L/n)." a deep, calm voice rang out.

My head snapped up and I met the cool and collected gaze of Reisi Munkata, the blue king, my king.

"Where did he come from?" I thought startled.
