the office oneshot🧚‍♀️ (jim halpert mostly)

i hate you! (jim and dwight)

jim's pov

i sit down at my desk, eating a cup of jello.
i look over and see dwight walking to his desk.
perfect...
he sits down and start to work.

"hey dwight can i borrow your calculator?"
"why don't you take your own?"
"i don't have it"
"okay fine whatever"

he opens his drawer to take it but instead of taking out a calculator, he takes out jello on a plate with his calculator inside of it.

"damnit jim!"
"what? oh... why do you think it was me?"
"it's always you and you're eating jello right now!"
"i suppose that could be true"
"god i hate you!"
"calm down dwight it was just a prank"
"why do you hate me so much? what did i EVER do to you?" he yells before running to the bathroom, probably to take his calculator out of the jello.

i don't hate dwight... i don't know why i prank him so much. i've tried pranking other people in the office but i don't like their reactions as much. i like the attention dwight gives me everytime. he's the only one that react so much. i guess i just like that he pay attention to me when i prank him.

i look over at pam who's giving me a 'you've gone too far' look. i don't know why he gets so upset everytime! he's always mean to me and i don't care. dwight comes back at his desk. he looks like he's been crying since his eyes are red and a little bit puffy. okay now i feel bad.

"dwight i'm sorry i didn't want to upset you"
"then why do you keep making fun of me?"
"i dont- its not to make fun of you"
"then why? why don't you prank oscar or phyllis?"
"i- i don't know"
"just stop please i don't know why you do it but stop"
"i'm sorry"

he doesn't respond and continue to work. i try to do the same but i can't. i cant work knowing he's this upset at me. i won't prank him anymore that's for sure. i'll have to find another way to get his attention but i'll figure it out. i don't know why i want his attention so badly...

i get up and go to the kitchen to make myself coffee. i make him a cup too just like he likes it. i don't know why i remember how he likes it but i do... i get out of the kitchen and put the cup of coffee on his desk.

"is this another prank?"
"no it's my way to say i'm sorry"
"i don't trust you"
"then take my cup, i wouldn't have done something to my own drink"
"okay"

i switch the cup and give him mine. i take his and drink it. of course i didn't prank it. he looks at me like he feels bad for not believing me. he keeps looking at me. finally i have his attention again. except this time it's even better because it's not hate in his eyes. i should be nice to him more often.

i walk over to pam's desk to chat with her.

"why are you nice to dwight all the sudden?"
"i felt bad for this morning"
"are you sure your not in love with him?" she says jokingly.
"ha ha ha you're too funny beesly"
"i'm just saying..."
"wait do you seriously think i like dwight?"
"maybe you don't notice it but you look at him a lot with a dumb little smile..."
"that is so not true"
"and he looks at you the same way when you aren't looking, you know"
"really?"
"yes really, did you see how he looked at you when he saw you made him coffee without any bad intention?"
"he looked at me normally..."
"nah it's pretty clear he likes you"
"well i don't like dwight... i can be nice to someone without liking them! and i'll let you know that i'm not gay"
"whatever you say"
"you're crazy beesly"

i walk away and go back to my desk. maybe i kinda convinced her but i'm not convinced myself. what if i do like dwight? what if it's why i like his attention so much? it's probably not but what if it is? do i really look at him with a dumb smile? but i'm not gay... what if i am? dwight isn't gay either... i don't know
maybe pam is right? i hope she's not... maybe i hope she is...
i don't know anymore.
