I woke up, groggy as all hell. "ugh why didn't I go to bed sooner" I got up from my bed and looked through my closet for an outfit.

Matt had given me some small jobs to do since I didn't have any real work yet and on the breaks that I took, I worked on the animation for Mike. I'm guessing a few hours had passed. Someone taps on my shoulder, I jump before even looking I say "Paul what did I tell you the other day?" "not to scare you or you'll shoot me with a blaster" I turn to look at Paul "Yea, now be ready" "I don't mean to scare you, it just happens" "Sure, anyways what did you need?" I crossed my arms. "Oh yea, I wanted to ask if you wanted to go to lunch with me" I smile "yea" "really? I mean alright let's go" I couldn't help but giggle. Paul walked to the front door of the red base, I followed. Opening the door and holding it open for me. "Thank you" "welcome" Paul and I walked to his car, I ran over and hopped in the driver's seat and pretended to punch it. Paul laughing. "do you wanna drive?" "No, I'm just joking" Paul was standing with the driver's door open, I look up. "are you going to pull me out or tell me to just crawl over?" "crawl, I don't want to hurt you" "like you could" An idea pops into my head. "Flirt by showing off your ass" "Good" idea myself. As I crawl over I sway my hips more than normal. I settle down in the seat, Paul climbs in the car. I can see his cheeks are redder than normal. "it worked this should be fun" "so where are you taking us?" Paul thought for a moment "you'll see" He shut the car door, started the car and started to drive. After driving for a good 15 min. Paul pulls into a decent looking restaurant. "Oo nice" "it's not the best but they have really good food" "as long as it edible I'm fine with it" Paul hurry's out the car, rushes over to my side. He opens the door for me. "Thank you, but I could have done it myself" "I wanted to be nice" "trying to make up for scaring me?" "maybe" I smile "I'm still going to get you" "damn" Paul chuckles.

3rd person POV
During lunch the two talked and talked about themselves just getting to know each other. Paul and (Y/n) have fallen for each other but neither of them think the other likes them so they just play it off. Paul and (Y/n) head back to orange base.
Paul POV As (y/n) and I walk in, Mike walks out of his office. "Oh am I glad I found you" (Y/n) looked up from her phone "what's up?" "I have tried everyone else except you." "No one else was good enough?" I questioned "Well I want to give everyone a chance to try" "oh ok" Mike walks back into his office and (Y/n) takes my hand and drags me into the room. "Close the door please" I close the door as Mike requested. "Alright step in front of the microphone" (Y/n) steps up to the microphone. "I'll show lyric on the screen, sing them anyway that feel comfortable"
(Y/n)'s POV I step forward my palms are already getting sweaty. I take a deep breath. "You'll do great, I believe in you" Paul whispered in my ear, his breath brushing past my skin. I nod. "alright, ready?" Mike asked me "yup"
"●...I'm paralyzed, Where are my feelings? I no longer feel things, I know I should I'm paralyzed, Where is the real me? I'm lost and it kills me inside, I'm paralyzed...●"
I sang the best I could as I opened up my eyes I see Paul and Mike staring wide-eyed at me "was it that bad?" I asked. "WHAT?! No no that was the best I have ever heard" Mike got up from his chair "t-that was amazing (Y/n)" Paul pulled me in for a side hug "thanks you guys" I smiled. "Congratulations You are my singer for the new song. If you don't mind staying late, we can start tonight" "I don't mind" I look at Paul basically asking him to stay with me. "yea, I'll stay"
