13. Help The Fate

13. HELP THE FATE

13th of December

" So what's between you and Gun?" Tay tried to caught Off off guard asking the same question a couple of times a day. Maybe by some chance, he would get any response other than silence. The tall guy was gradually getting more annoyed hearing it all over again.

" Right now a couple of bricks, paint and maybe some other materials," he answered angrily and massaged his temple scrolling down his unfinished article. He could not focus on Tay talking all the time, the work was taking him much longer with that nosy guy.

" Oh, how brilliant. But why are-"

" Can you shut up for a minute?" his patience was almost hitting the bottom

" I will if you stop giving me shitty answers." Tay grinned and skilfully avoided the book that was thrown at him. " Off don't be tsundere. My pet certainly isn't into that type."

God holds him please otherwise that idiot's blood would be covering the whole room in a moment. Off stood up and went straight to the doors feeling he would rather become a murder than make some progress in these conditions.

" Say hello to-" he didn't hear the rest of the annoying voice since he was walking fast through corridors leaving Tay behind.

And that how he ended with smoking the whole pack of cigarettes before noon. Fuck, he even forgot to take his jacket but maybe that was a good thing, the cold air would help him to calm down his nerves faster.

As he was drawing the smoke to his lungs he noticed both Gun and New entering the building. They were probably back from some interviews. Off instantly felt more relaxed seeing the small guy smiling cheerfully and jumping over the intern explaining something.

He released the smoke and grinned unconsciously.

One thing was true - Tay knew him well enough.

~~~

" They are into each other."

" And?" New asked munching the vegetables from his lunchbox.

" We have to help them."

" With what?"

Tay sighed but quickly started to explain.

" With getting together, of course, babe. Both are my good friends and I wish for their happiness."

" Aren't they some kind of long-term rivals? This case recently was the only time I saw them talking for longer than one minute."

" That's because you're new. There were times when Gun was happily jumping all over Off admiring his mentor work, listening to his every word even if he was talking bullshit. Then things went bad and they ended in sort of cold war that happened to last a long time because both are stubborn as donkeys and won't speak out loud what their problem is. I even thought they kind of liked that quarrels and passive-aggressive remarks because although they nagged about each other they still checked on their works and didn't even think about leaving the company." Tay spoke all of that silently and constantly looked around if anybody was coming into the staff room.

New looked surprised by that information, he couldn't imagine the little guy admiring Off not after he had seen him cursing and getting mad at him multiple times.

" So that's how it was before... But back to the topic of your plan - the main question is - isn't P'Off straight?"

" I don't think so... I'm 99% sure he is bi."
