Hataraku Saibou RedxWhite

Chapter one

It was an unusually busy day in the blood vessels.

Finally Red had a day off from work.

She made her way home from the last delivery, not paying attention to her surroundings. So as she turned around the next corner, she ran into another person.

"AHH... I'm... I'm soo sorry!"
She shrieked and apologized, bowing and waiting for an answer.

"Hello, Red blood cell AE3803." a familiar deep voice said.
Red looking up, saw White Blood cell U-1146 chuckling at her...
"Hel... Hello, White!" she answered his greetings. Nervously, she looked down to her feet, playing with her thumbs.

White noticed her nervous attitude and smirked to himself. He had to admit that Red was very cute when, she was so shy.
A little teasingly he asked "What are you doing here? Are you lost again?"

Quickly, Red faced him "Don't just assume I'm lost! I don't get that lost anymore. Mostly..." she pouted at him.

"Okay. Okay." White smiled apologizingly at her. "So what are you doing here?"

"I'm on my way home. I have a day off." Red smiled at him.

"What a coincidence, so do I." he said genuinely surprised. Normally he would have found out, when Red has a day off so he can show her around but she must have switched shifts with someone. Well, this only made his day better.

"Do you like to come home with me? I would like to make you a cup of tea, in return for all the other times you got me one." She asked White, blushing slightly.

"Yeah, that would be nice." he answered as they were already on their way towards Red's home.

Most of the way, both of them enjoyed the company in silence before they started talking again.

"It's a little warm today isn't it, White?" Red said as she wiped sweat from her forehead before she opened the door to her little home and let White in.

"It certainly is warm..." White said letting the end of his sentence trail off. He watched Red as she took off her jacket to reveal a black tank top that showed too much skin for his liking.

Maybe it was the heat? Or the effects from the hormones, that had occurred earlier in the day. He couldn't really tell but something about the sight in front of him made White feel a little hot under his clothes.

Red noticed that White wasn't listening to her at all. "Nucleus to White!? Hello? Hello-oh...!? You there!?!" She waved her hand in front of White's face, trying to get his attention back.

Finally, he snapped out of his trance "I-I'm sorry... I just...." He cleared his throat "I was just lost in thoughts." Sheepishly he clanced at Red.

"As long as you don't get as lost in your thoughts as I do on my way through the blood stream, we should be good." She said, hoping to tease him a little. But White was unfazed by this and crossed his arms, giving her a look that said 'As if'.

Red gave up "Yeah... Yeah... I know...." she sighted "I'm the only cell in this whole body to ever get lost..."

Walking into her living- /bedroom she repeated what she had said earlier. "You're at my place for the first time, right? So make yourself at home."
She tossed her jacket on her bed, headed into the kitchen and started to make barley tea for the two of them.

White placed himself on the ground beside her tea table.
'It must be the heat...' he thought, as he caught himself staring at her backside, which looked rounder and firmer than usual.
Shaking his head, he tried to clear his thoughts. "Damn heat...!" he whispered, tucking at his collar.
