Heels

"I didn't know you made a new friend~"

The blonde deeply inhaled the familiar scent of the library candles; it was his favorite thing in the whole world. He was quite the fan of candles, and the library gave him the honor of choosing which ones he could place in his work space.

Checking the clock, the blonde realized that it was time to get to the second floor, where people actually started checking out books, and would need help.

It was the peak, 3 pm, for when people would visit. The short male made his way down the stairs, slightly irritated that he almost tripped multiple times. He'd gotten a pair of new shoes, that his friend had recommended, but they weren't at all comfortable. Shoes with heels really weren't his thing; hopefully they'd be his friends size, so he could hand them off to him.

As soon as he arrived, the blonde was immediately waved over by Illumi, another friend and coworker.

"Could you take these over to Baise? She moved from this floor to the fifth, but she didn't have the time to get all her files."

"Uh sure, fifth floor right?" The blonde asked, glancing over the stacks of folders that lay before him.

"Yeah; also, Hisoka said he wants you to visit him later." Illumi nodded, not taking his eyes off the books in front of him.

"Why don't YOU visit him?" The blonde groaned.

"Because IM not his friend." Illumi snapped back, stacking said books.

"You're his husband for Lords sake."

"We don't speak of that."

And with that, Illumi walked away, leaving the bothered boy with tons of Baise's files in front of him.

Trudging up the stairs, the blonde was really regretting taking the stairs, especially in heels. He knew that, when he'd complain to Hisoka about it, the other would make fun of him for not being able to handle heels.

'Not like he doesn't make fun of me all the time' was the thought that crossed the blondes mind as he finally reached the fifth floor.

Just as the blonde thought that perhaps his day would go well, he found himself on the ground, the files that were previously in his hands scattered in front of him.

'I'm going to murder Hisoka for buying me these damn heels'

Was his first thought as he got to picking up the papers, cursing at every page he picked up.

And as if the situation couldn't get more embarrassing, the blonde noticed someone helping him pick the papers up, meaning somebody witnessed his fall.

After finally picking up all the sheets of paper, the blonde looked up to see the man he met the previous day; the one he called cute.

"I was hoping I'd bump into you again! To be honest, I was actually here to find you- I hope that's not creepy! I don't mean for it to be creepy- I mean-"
