A/N: 50 reads in less than a day?! You guys are the best, seriously, tysm! ❤️ Now I know I have a actual audience to continue the story, and I can't thank you all enough! Now, back to the story! :D
———————————————————————————
"You'll be neighboring with the other ladies of our team. If you have any questions you can ask them or me." Said Midas as the two continued their walk through the halls. She nodded. "How about my assignment?" He opened the door of the already prepared room and sat the box on the extremely soft bed. "Your assignment would be field agent. You'll receive training with firearms and hand to hand combat, with some experience in how to enter and exit stealthily and get information about our targets." She nodded. "Sounds exciting, I can't wait to start!" She saw the corners of his mouth twitch up-was he trying to smile? It would've been a welcome side to see from him other than his seemingly stoic personality.

"I bet you can't, but you'll have to wait if you want to learn properly." He said as he walked towards the door. "You're right. Thank you for just-all of this. I would've never imagined it to ever become a reality, you know?" He turned to see her with a soft smile and sparkling (e/c) orbs. He felt something...odd bubble in his chest, but quickly pushed it aside with a bit of a dry clearing of his throat. "Well, it seems like dreams do come true. Have a good evening Agent (L/n)." With that, he left the room with the click of the door closing.

(Y/n) turned to her box with her stuff, but was surprised due to the fact that the cardboard box-had been turned into solid gold. She turned around and saw that the door handle had been turned into solid gold as well. "Strange," She thought. She shrugged it off as she began to decorate the room to her preferred style and finally changed out of her outfit into something more comfortable. She changed into a short sleeved shirt and some sweatpants, plopping down onto the large bed with a smile. "First day: mission accomplished."

Midas's P.O.V-
He stood outside the closed door with his back laid against it, his eyes closed and breathing deep as he laid one of his golden hands over his chest. "What the hell was that?" He thought. He shook out it out of his head as he straightened his tie and began to walk down the stairs. He was stopped midway by a very angry looking Maya who seemed to stomp on each step on her way up. "What's wrong Agent?" He asked. She only grumbled something under her breath and slightly shoved him out of the way as she continued her way upstairs to the living quarters. He gave a small sigh as he shook his head and continued his way down the stairs until he reached the main hall. He came across Skye and TnTina walking and talking towards the staircase and looked straight ahead to his office, only giving the two a small wave as they acknowledged him.

He pushed his way into his dimly lit office. Most, if not all of the things found in the room had been turned into solid gold. His writing instruments, filing cabinets, files themselves, his desk, almost everything found was the precious metal. He drew his chair from under his desk and sat on it with a cushioned thud. He ran his hands through his hair as he sighed; (Y/n) did something to him at that moment back in her room, and it definitely wasn't normal. He began to find things to distract himself from his growing thoughts. Reading daily reports from the henchmen and his team, writing reports of his own, reading (Y/n)'s files-wait what? He shoved her personal files into a filing cabinet and slammed the cabinet back into place before he groaned into his hands.

It wasn't until knocking was heard from outside of the door that he recollected himself. He fixed his hair and his vest along with his tie as he took in deep breaths and finally opened the door, welcomed to the sight of Agent Peely and Meowcles. "Oh, hello you two. Is something wrong?" He asked. The two shook their heads. "We heard-well Meowcles heard a slam in your office and we wanted to know if you were alright. We know that you don't really hit stuff unless you're mad or stressed." Meowcles nodded and gave a small meow, as if he were asking Midas the same thing. He sighed as he rubbed his temple. "Everything is alright, I'm alright. Thank you both for your concern, however you two should get to your rooms before nightfall, ok?" The two nodded as they walked to the staircase and disappeared from his view.

He returned to his desk and sat back down. He grabbed a golden pen as he began to tap it against the surface. Something was changing within him, and he's terrified. Maybe tomorrow would bring him answers.

A/N: Looks like (Y/n) sparked something in Midas, and poor guy is beating himself for it-and this is just the beginning! (Muaha >:3) I really can't thank you all enough, thanks for making my dream possible! ❤️
