Office Romance (Akashi Seijuro) [Kuroko no Basuke]

"Excuse me, Akashi-sama. I have an important letter from Yoichi-sama of the C&G Corporation."

"Leave it on my desk," he replied, his eyes remaining glued to the paper.

"Yes." You then walked over to his large wooden desk and set it on top of the accumulating pile of letters from other company chairmen.

"Can I be of any more assistance, Akashi-sama?"

You don't know how you did it, but somehow you landed a job at one of the leading corporations in Japan, straight out of university. More specifically, you're working as a personal assistant for Akashi Seijuro, the CEO of the KB Corporation.

You've been working here for a couple months now and despite being a recent graduate, you've adjusted well and rather quickly. Well... there is one thing you haven't gotten used to quite yet...

Your boss sighed and dropped the papers he was reading onto his desk, not minding that they scattered. He stood up, walked around his desk and leaned on the front edge of it, staring at you intently.

"It's long after work hours, yet you insist on using formalities."

"B-But--"

"Are you embarrassed about our relationship, Yuki?"

Yes. You are in a relationship with your boss. Ahh... office romance.

"It definitely sounds like one of those cheesy romance stories you see teenage girls or lonely middle-aged women reading..." A recurring thought you have in moments like these.

"No!! It's just-- It's--" You looked away in embarrassment, missing the mischievous smirk that had appeared on his face for a brief second.

With your eyes still averted from his, he stood up straight for a moment to pull you into his chest, tilting your chin up. He leans back onto his desk with you still in his arms, not minding that all your weight shifted onto him (not that you were heavy; he did, after all, continue to maintain a fit and sturdy body after high school).

Though he was neither frowning or smiling, you could clearly see the sly look in his eyes.

"'It's just--' what?"

"W-Well... we're still at the office and--"

"Ah~ So you're worried if someone will come back and catch us being intimate with one another?"

"M-More or less..."

"Hmm... Let them see us."

"Eh--!? I wouldn't want them to think--"

"-- that you are above them because of my favoritism towards you?"

You were dumbfounded. Did you really get this opportunity because of his romantic interest in you?? But if you did, in fact, get to the top because of his interest in you, that would mean he would've known you prior to this.

"If you're wondering," he started as he moved his hand to cup your face. "The reason you came to work for me was because of your intelligence, diligence and hard work. I was actually not the one who chose you to serve as my personal assistant, rather it was Shintaro's doing. When he went to your university as a guest speaker, he singled you out immediately as someone who would be beneficial to the company."

You stared at him wide-eyed and visibly surprised.

"As for my interest in you, you caught my eye the moment you walked into my office. You lacked presence, but when you opened your mouth to introduce yourself, you demonstrated a calm, but demanding presence. I observed your every move since then, intrigued by you and soon realizing what I was feeling, I knew that you had to be mine."

This time you willingly stared into his eyes for any sign that he was lying. Alas, all you found was the honest truth.

You arms slowly encircled around his waist, but before you could bury your face in his chest, he caught your lips in a passionate kiss.

"A-Akashi~ Someo--"

"Still worried about that? Heh. I told you, let them see us. I will take care of everything, I will take care of you. Now call me by my first name."

"A-Ah~ Seijuro!! That--"

"Good girl."
