Work

You greeted Mai on your way in,

"Hi Mai, how are you?"

The said woman bowed slightly before smiling,

"I'm fine. The usual. I hope you have a lovely day (y/n)"

"You as well"

You gave the door three soft knocks before you heard Yami's calm tone rumble to life,

"Come in"

Purple orbs looked up at your figure as you walked closer,

"Mr. - I mean Yami, may I ask what my tasks are?"

Yami smirked at how you managed to jumble your words out,

"As of now, you will be in charge of organizing the files. Every morning there will be files stacked onto your desk. You will also answer my calls and direct the important ones to me. Mai will explain everything else to you"

Yami placed a stack of folders into your hands before he went back to typing,

"Your desk will be located beside my office. Are there any other questions?"

You struggled under the cluster of files but you managed to squeak out a few words,

"No, that is all. Thank you"

Yami continued typing before nodding,

"Of course"

You shoved the files onto your desk before releasing a sigh. Just how did Yami manage to carry all of these? He must be pretty strong to lift them. You pictured his broad slender arms typing away on the computer. His hands looked mature with age, but strong. You pushed aside your daydream of your hot boss. You were here to work, not to date.

Mai explained your tasks, and you went on with your day. You wondered what job Mai had, but then realized she was Yugi's secretary (hence to her desk being in between the offices of the twins).

You worked long and hard all day. By the time you realized it, the day was over. You only ate some snacks as you were so focused on your tasks. It was now 5:30pm. Everyone already went home. You packed up quietly before a deep voice disrupted the silence,

"(Y/n) you are going home just now?"

Startled you turned around spotting Yami in all his glory. His hands were tucked into his pockets,

"Ah yes, Sir! I lost track of time. I'll be heading out in a moment. You gave me quite the scare there!"

Yami chuckled softly. He found it a pleasure to be in your presence. You had such an uplifting spirit,

"I was just about to leave myself. Would you like to come with me?"

You felt pleased with his statement. He seemed to be considerate,

"Yes"

You both walked to the elevator side by side. Yami felt almost relieved that you came with him. He had Mai keep an eye on you, and she told him you skipped your lunch. He was somewhat disappointed about that. He really didn't want you to pass out. In a sense, you reminded him of himself. Both of you were very hardworking and passionate about what you did,

"Did you enjoy your first day?"

You rummaged through your bag before finding your phone,

"Yessss! It was great. I was a little rusty at the start, but I'll get the hang of things"

You mentally sighed thinking of all the paperwork you dealt with. With two jobs you might have to quit the other as this would probably take up your time. Working from 9 to 5 was a hassle. But working from 6 to 9 right after was even worse. You barely had enough free time to yourself. You stepped out of the elevator,

"Thank you for the job Yami. I could never thank you enough"

Yami gazed at you through his blond strands. The look he gave you was serene,

"You earned this job on your own (y/n). There's no need to thank me"

In that very moment, you realized you forgot to return the money. You pulled out the money, laying it down into the hands of its owner. You didn't want Yami to think you were being ungrateful, so you mentally prepare a speech in your head,

"I believe this is yours"

Yami picked it up,

"Yes, it was. But now it is yours"

You chuckled before sliding the money back into his palm,

"I can't take this Yami. It is your money. I don't want you spending it on me or leaving it for me unless I earned it"

He firmly took your hand into his grasp,

"This was not a waste (y/n) I assure you. Yugi and I left you this money because you earned it. You work too hard to get any less"

You felt the color on your cheeks darken. Reluctantly, you took the cash from his palm. Yami chuckled at your childishness,

"Thank you"

You smiled at the man before leaving. Yami watched you walked off. Your figure getting smaller and smaller by the minute. He knew soon he would be able to trust you.
