Word Count: 1109

"I mean, I don't mean to brag." The new guy said in a cocky tone, running his hands down his suit jacket. "But I make this look good."

[name] scoffed, typing on his keyboard with a little more force. The new guy or agent J had been nothing but a cocky bastard since he got the job at MIB. Apparently he had impressed the others during his interview and he was doing well on the job.

That didn't mean [name] liked him. He was new and he was already walking around like he owned the place. It was incredibly annoying.

"Anything you want to say over there, agent?" J asked, having heard the scoff. He crossed his arms over his chest and walked up to the males desk with a smirk.

[name] looked up at him with a glare, his glasses sliding down his nose. Unlike J, he was a desk jockey and did all the paper work. That's the job he wanted seeing as he was horrible at field work and always did the wrong thing when they gave him that kind of job.

"Oh, nothing. I just have a problem with assholes who think being cocky is a good personality trait." He mumbled. "And by the way, you look like every other guy here. It's a suit, get over yourself."

J put a hand on his chest and gasped in fake hurt. "That's not very nice. I don't think you and me have even spoke two words to each other and you hate me already?" He put his hands on the desk and leaned over him. "I think you need to get off your high horse."

"I'm the one on the high horse? I'm not the one bragging about being a top agent when I haven't even been working here a week." The more J moved forward, the more he moved back and his back was starting to hurt from him being bent.

"You're just jealous that they don't put you on field work." J said and [name] growled at him. "That's right. I know about that. Word around town is you put your last partner in the hospital and he requested a new one."

"It wasn't even that bad! He was overreacting!" [name] huffed like a child. His last partner was so a drama queen. He was only accidentally shot. [name] could have patched him up himself. "Wait, why were you talking about me? Like you said, we haven't even spoken two words to each other."

J widened his eyes and snapped back onto a standing position and cleared his throat. "I like to know who I'm working with."

"And have you asked about everyone else in here? Or am I just a special case?" He narrowed his eyes. He didn't like the way J was getting flustered. "What? Have you got a thing for me or something?"

J spluttered and shook his head. "You were just calling me cocky and now you're saying bullshit like that. I wouldn't ever like a nerd like you."

"Oh, my god. You do have a thing for me." He rubbed his forehead in frustration. There was no way from that reaction that J didn't like him. "Look, I don't date my coworkers and you're also not my type, so how about you act just a little professional and push those feelings to the side."

"I don't have a thing for you!"

"That's enough you two." Agent K scolded them. "J, let's go. We have a job. You can flirt with him later."

"I wasn't flirting with him, I was insulting him." J argued as he followed after his partner.

The agent at the desk rolled his eyes and went back to his work.

I can't believe that idiot! He thought with an anxious feeling running through him. He rushed through the hospital, trying to find the room he was in and when he did, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw J lying down in the hospital bed, alive.

"Thank god, you're okay. I thought you were dead." He breathed deeply, walking closer to the bed. "You'd think after all this time, you would have learned to not be the hero and get yourself hurt."

J raised and eyebrow with a smirk. "You seem awfully worried about me. Are you finally going to admit that you care about me."

[name] gave him a look. "Of course I care about you. That much is obvious. I'm not ashamed to admit that."

J had been working at the MIB for a couple months now and even though he was still a cocky asshole, [name]
and him had become sort of frenemies. "I knew you were going to admit it one day." J said.

"Yeah, yeah." He waved J off. "Unlucky for you, you're off field work until you fully heal so I hope you enjoy desk work. Hey! I can give you a few tips." He said sarcastically. "You're just gonna love it."

J groaned in annoyance. "Great. So I'm going to be a nerd like you."

"You wish you could be a nerd like me. Trust me, you're going to find desk work a lot more harder then field work and time is just going to go so slow as you type and type and-"

"Okay! I get it. I'm going to hate it. Thank you for making me feel so much better."

"You're welcome." He smiled sweetly. "At least now you'll get to spend all your time with your favourite person in the world." He pointed at himself.

"You know you are my favourite person in the world." J wiggled his eyebrows. "If you really want to make me feel better, you could always take me out on a date. You're paying of course." J finally admitted to having a thing for him because there was no point in hiding it. Everybody already figured it out.

"You're not my type." He teased.

"Keep trying to convince yourself that. I know the truth." J looked ahead at the television. "I'll have you one day."

[name] smirked and stood up, getting close to J's face and kissing him lightly on the lips. "In your dreams." He laughed when he pulled back and saw the pout on J's face.

"That's just cold."

It was only a couple days later when J left the hospital that [name] finally agreed to go on a date with him.
