Wrap Me in Gold ; Reader X Midas (Fortnite)

Chapter 10 | Know Your Place.

It's been two days since that awkward situation with Midas and how he got his scar. You've talked to him a couple of times but only spoke about two sentences before he excused himself out of the conversation to move on. Thinking about him finding a way to get away from you as soon as possible caused this empty feeling in your chest, possibly from being embarrassed or that feeling of not being wanted around someone. Luckily, the other agents still wanted to be around you, including you in their conversations during their break time which made you feel a little bit better. At least they wanted you around. it was frustrating thinking about how Midas possibly doesn't like you or your presence. Hell, you were too nervous to attend the last few meetings but he didn't seem to make it a big deal as he wouldn't mention it anytime you two encountered. You felt like you ruined the one chance to get closer to him, but you shouldn't stress about that, he's your new boss, maybe he'll warm up to you later.

The mission was a success! Nobody got too injured besides a few cuts and bruises, mostly on Brutus and Maya due to their thirst of action. When they fight, they fight hard. Maya was way stronger than you thought, you'd hate to be the one to fight her, she's a tough cookie that doesn't stop even if she's beaten up and you liked that about her, total badass. Luckily nobody passed out from working two mission in one night, it's not lie you could've helped, you were told to stay at the agency and keep watch. "Keep watch" more like hang out with Bracer in the lounge room as she watched DC movies while you sat on the ground getting a head start on assignments on the coffee table. The team came back at around 4am. You struggled to stay awake by yourself as Bracer made her way back home a couple hours before. You couldn't go back home and rest until you knew they came back in one piece, especially Midas. Long story short it was a waste of time waiting for him. Skye had to pass the lounge room to get to the kitchen where she then saw you exhausted, make up ruined and creased, mascara running from being on all day, just to tell you that all the other agents went into their room right away to finally get rest, including Midas. You didn't even get to see the handsome man. Bummer. Skye didn't say anything but she knew you were waiting for them, her heart felt warm that someone new can be as caring as you. She finally told you go home to get some rest, feeling bad that she was one of the reasons of you staying up so late.

Fast forward to present day;

A new day but nothing new, so far. You arrived at the agency, went to Midas' office and knocked on this door, no response. You knocked three times, still no response. You figured he might be somewhere else so you made your way back down to the the first floor where Bracer was talking on the phone with someone. You walked up to her, patiently waiting for her to finish.

"Yeah... Mhm.. Yeah so just give me a call back once you're ready and I'll put down your information in the meantime! Okay.. Bye-bye." She finished, putting the curly wired phone back on the dispatcher.

She immediately looked up at you with a welcoming smile, "What's up girl?"  She asked.

"Have you seen Midas? He's not in his office.." You said furrowing your brows.

"Uhh he should be in there I don't know where else he would be." She looked around the room and saw Meowcles passing by. "Oh, ask Meowcles." She said pointing her right finger at him before she returned back to her work.

You nodded your head as you quickly sped walk towards the cat to catch up before you lost him. He was scrolling on his phone making his way towards the lounge room where I assume the other agents would be since they're not working at the moment.

"Meowcles!" You whispered to get his attention. He turned his head and smiled down at you.

"Hey!" He greeted, his tail moving slightly back and forth.
