 HAJIME POV

   "Can't believe I agreed to this." I grumble, doing up my tie as I stare at myself in the mirror. Komaeda was coming by any minute to take me to his work for my first day there, I guess. I am not looking forward to this but he seemed so excited when I agreed to try it out and who could say no to such a cute face?

  Not me I guess.

   I lean forward, brushing a bit of hair out of my eyes. I hope I look presentable enough. I hope I can act human enough...

   There's a loud knock on the door and I flinch slightly. "Coming!" I shout, jogging to the front door. I open it, and there's Komaeda looking extremely professional and handsome...

   He's wearing a crisp beige suit with a black tie and his fluffy mess of hair has been pulled back with a rubber band. In his hand, he holds a single shiny bronze suitcase.

   He beams at me. "Good morning, Hinata-kun! Are you ready for work?" He asks cheerfully. 

   "I guess..."
  

   He grabs my arm and pulls me into the hall with him, me blushing at the sudden contact. I barely have time to shut and lock the door before I'm being dragged down the hall by an over-excited investigator.

================================================================================

      "Saihara!" Komaeda calls out cheerfully, pulling me into their shared office. The raven-haired investigator looks up at the sound of his voice. He nods at us.

   "Morning, Komaeda, Hinata-san." He says politely.

   "Hello." I return shyly. 

   Komaeda grabs my arm and excitedly tugs me towards his desk. Everything on top, the files, the random papers, other general office supplies as well were all nicely arranged. I thought back to my mess of a desk at home which looked liked it had been run over with a tornado several time over. 

   "You can sit over here with me! I have many things I'd like to discuss with you. I'll go get you a chair." He purrs happily. I watch him practically soar out of the room to find me a chair.

   I turn around awkwardly to find Saihara's gaze fixated on me.

   "Komaeda-san's really excited to have you here, you know? He's really taken a liking to you, Hinata-san." The investigator tells me. My face reddens slightly.

   "O-Oh, well, I hope i can be of help." I mutter, barely audible. 

    "Yes, if you behave yourself." The investigator muses softly mostly to himself before returning to his work. 

   The bouncy floof-ball comes skidding back into the room with a blue chair in his hands. It's one of those crappy plastic blue chairs that you typically find in a school. 

   "Here we go! Ah, I know it sucks but it was the best I could find. You can use my chair if you-"
   

   "It's fine. Thanks for getting me one." I cut him off, carefully prying it from his grip. I place it beside his own chair and sit down. "What do you want me to do first, boss?" I say jokingly. 

   Komaeda hums thoughtfully, thinking for a second before his face heats up and he slaps himself. I tilt my head curiously.

   "Uh, um, let's see, I-I have to go, do some field work so maybe you can organize my filing cabinet, please?" He stammers out nervously.

   I glance at the large object he was describing directly behind me and I shrug. "Yeah, that's fair. Can't expect to do any fun stuff the first couple days, right?" I respond casually. Komaeda on the other hand looks like he's starting to sweat. 

   "Thank you Hinata-san...well, I'm gonna head out now, I'll be back later, bye!" He squeaks before spinning on his heel and leaving abruptly. I stare at where he was standing a second ago, confused by his behavior before dismissing it.

   "Seems like more than just a liking." Saihara-san comments. I blink at him innocently. 

   "What do you mean?"

   He shakes his head with a sigh.

   "Nothing. Get to work, Hinata-san."

================================================================================

   NAGITO POV

   Oh my goodness, what a disgusting piece of trash I am, having such impure thoughts about a guy I barely know?!

   But isn't only fair when he said it in such a seductive way? I mean, he probably didn't intend to sound like that but that sexy drawl of 'what do you want me to do first, boss?' I could've died right then and there!
 

   He probably thinks I'm some weird pervert the way I was behaving. I'll ask Saihara about his reaction later, I suppose. 

================================================================================

   HAJIME POV (a few hours later)

   "Ah, I'm back! Sorry I took so long!" The fluffy-haired investigator exclaims, flying into the room and we both look up as he enters. Saihara nods slightly as to acknowledge him, not looking up from his work. He's been really focused all morning.

   "Welcome back, Komaeda-san," I greet him, "I organized your file cabinets to the best of my ability. Sorry if it's not that well done."

   He cocks an eyebrow in response, brushing past me to investigate for himself. I watch anxiously as he examines each drawer carefully, rummaging here and there.

   When he finishes, he turns to me with a bright smile. "Thank you, Hinata-san, you did such a good job! Well done!" He praises and I blush at his kind words.

   I watch as he settles himself behind his desk, turning his computer on.

   There's a buzz in my back pocket and I realize I have a notification. I fish it out and check what turned out to be a text.

   SOUDA: Hey, Hajime, A couple of us are getting together in the old spot in an hour! Everyone's going, can I count on you?

   I look up with a sigh. Stupid Kazuichi trying to drag me to another party. But I know he'll give me hell if I don't go so might as well say yes before he starts begging.

   HAJIME :P: Ya, whatever. 

   SOUDA: Thank you! I knew I could count on you!

   With another loud sigh, I put it back in my pocket. Komaeda looks up with concern. 

   "Is everything alright, Hinata-kun?" He asks. I shrug helplessly. 

   "Meh. My friend wants me to come to a party after work. They're not really my scene but I said I 'd go, so..." I trail off. Komaeda's eyes widen with interest.

   "Wow. A party! How fun! I haven't been to any sort of party since I was perhaps five. I wonder how adults party then?" He replies wistfully.

   And before I can stop myself the words are out of my mouth.

   "Then come with me."
