Goku glanced at the clock for the hundredth time. The rest of the room was quiet except the click clacks from the keyboards and the occasional swivel of a chair. Goku tapped his fingers on his desk staring back at the monitor, his mind was more focused on the night before than the tasks ahead. He felt so annoyed with himself for letting his feelings get in the way, Vegeta hadn't spoke to him since, and he didn't want to wake Vegeta up this morning just to talk about it. He wasn't looking forward to return home, the only place where he could usually relax he now felt anxious about.

Yamcha observed Goku's absent expression, he tapped Goku's shoulder "everything okay?" a work colleague popped their head up from the desk to nose, noticed the glance from Yamcha and continued on with their work.

Goku leaned back on his chair still staring blankly at the monitor "I may of fucked things up, and I'm here in a dead end job just to keep a roof over my head. But apart from that, I'm fine..." he rubbed his eyes to wake himself up, before looking at the paper work needing filing.

"well what a way to set a downer" Yamcha leaned on his desk looking at the monitor "you've been staring at our break schedule for a while, you know that won't speed up time? I've tried"

Goku sighed looking over at the clock "I'm just dreading home time"

"That's not like you, unless it's because you can't bear listening to your boyfriend screwing someone else? talk about awkward" Yamcha smiled shaking his head as he looked over at the clock as well.

Goku let out an exasperated sigh "unless you are wanting to borrow another pen, please piss off!" the last thing he wanted to listen to was about what Vegeta may or may not be doing whilst he was in work. He clicked his tongue staring at the paperwork not acknowledging Yamcha leaned on the desk. Yamcha soon got the hint and headed back to his desk.

Time dragged painfully slow, probably because he was so fixated on the time, his brain playing through scenarios. He counted down the seconds to his fifteen minute break, that short break of freedom. He tapped his pen on the desk impatiently watching the clock, the obnoxious tapping sound from his pen drowning out the rest of the atmosphere around him. Soon as the time shown for his break, he hastily made way to the kitchen area to make himself coffee. Some of the colleagues were sat at the table looking half dead with their downcast eyes avoiding eye contact from others. As he stood stirring his coffee there was a slam sound next to him, he looked corner of his eyes seeing an empty cup next to him. His eyes gradually looked up from the cup to see Chichi stood glaring at him, he moved his eyes back to his coffee before letting out a chuckle.

"what do you find so funny?" she snarled at him, her arms threw up in the air "you going to tell me who this mystery female that you've slept with?!"

"I don't have to tell you anything" Goku pushed himself past her heading back to his desk with his coffee. She had normally been ignoring him, much to his liking, now she chose to question him again.

Not wanting to drop it, she swiftly followed behind him she watched as he placed his coffee on the desk. "Who was she then?! because I never thought you'd be that type of person! I deserve to know!"

"no" he sighed as he sat down "you don't need to know, just leave me alone"

Chichi scoffed at his response, her arms folded as her eyebrows furrowed in disgust "you know, I was willing to give us another go!" she glared as Goku blanked her, he was looking at his phone taking a sip of his coffee. "could you at least have the decency to look at me whilst I talk to you?!"

Yamcha has walked over with one of the new starters "hey guys, this is one of the new starters he's just started this afternoon" neither Chichi or Goku looked over "hello?!"
