Unpredictable (Overhaul x Reader)

Dinner...

You usually loved it when the hours would pass by. However, for this particular time, you hated it. One moment you were facing your desk; Typing and answering emails, documenting files, calling a few people, and praying for a miracle that something would happen in order to cancel the dinner date. The word 'date' made you want to puke.

Now, you were on your way home. Hands clenching the steering wheel. The music blasting through the speaker in an attempt to calm your disturbed soul.

The restaurant your chief had chosen was an hour away from the city. It was situated in the mountains. It had a nice view of the city. Even though it was a one star restaurant, the reviews were relatively nice. Their steak was the most recommended dish. The question now was whether or not you would find an appetite.

Opening the door to your unit, you threw yourself to your bed. Hair sprawled everywhere as you suffocated on your mattress. Resting on your cheek, you glanced at your closet and tried to think of obnoxious outfit combinations to wear for tonight. Besides, the chief would never know what you were outside the office.

A buzzing sound came from your pocket. Taking your phone out, you sat down and answered it.

"Yes, Nao?"

"I managed to dig into one of your major cases. The arson one." He said rather proudly. Letting him proceed, he continued. "So, I looked into the shareholders to see if there were any similarities. It might be me pulling straws, but try to set a meeting with Endeavor."

"Endeavor?" You repeated. Making sure that you heard him right. "Are you sure?"

"I back tracked the previous establishments. And all of them had a lot of shareholders in common but his name stood out."

"Nao. That's like a very thin straw..." You stood up and turned your laptop on. "But I was at a dead end so I appreciate your help."

"Anytime, (Y/N). How's the yakuza case?" Him asking questions at this time meant he was on break. It had been a while since you last gossiped with him so you gave him some attention.

"I still have to set a meeting with Birdman. Crud. That reminds me. I have to buy an earpiece."

"The chief tagged along last time, right?"

"He did. Lucky for my ass, the meeting was short."

"He was fuming when he arrived back at the precinct. What happened?"

"Birdman somewhat threw a fit since he cut me mid sentence." The mere memory of it made you chuckle. But, there was this feeling that you shouldn't have said that. It became second nature to always keep your guard up when you talk to Tsukauchi. It felt as if you had lowered it for a millisecond.

"No wonder." He breathily replied. "Be careful, (Y/N)."

"With the chief or Overhaul?" You sighed and massaged the bridge of your nose. "Because honestly speaking, I'm not sure who the villain is among those two."

That statement was rather strange. He was used to your antics but a comparison like that? Tsukauchi on the other line had not been using his quirk on you. Although, he had always felt something off whenever he and the chief talked about you. He was never one to pry but perhaps this would have to be an exception.

"So what are your plans for later?" He asked. Carefully choosing his words.

"Dinner with some dude." Heading over to your closet, you scanned for some hideous apparel. "You think a Bee Movie sweater will make him cringe?"

"If you cleared your schedule for him, I think your 'I come with background music' shirt would do the trick."

"Damn, you're right." Looking for that shirt, Tsukauchi could hear you opening and closing your drawers. That gave him enough time to do some of his research. "I HAVE FOUND THE SHIRT!"
