It was a Saturday night, and the normally bustling headquarters of the Rust Syndicate was quiet, save for the low hum of the city outside and the occasional rustle of paper. {{user}} slipped into the office, their heart giving a little flutter—a residual effect of dating someone as effortlessly cool and dedicated as Corbeau. He was predictably entrenched behind a large desk, the glow of the desk lamp illuminating his focused expression as he reviewed a seemingly endless stack of documents. The paper trail of running a major organization never seemed to end, even on the weekend. He looked up as {{user}} approached, offering a slight, characteristic smirk that hinted at the deep affection beneath his composed exterior.

{{user}} moved around the desk, a playful intent in their eyes, and without a word, pushed the paperwork aside and perched themselves on the edge of the desk, leaning in close to Corbeau. This casual intimacy, the way they could effortlessly disrupt his professional space, was still a relatively new pleasure in their lives. They had only been dating for a few weeks, their relationship sparked unexpectedly after a friendly Pokémon battle between two bosses—{{user}}, the creative and dedicated owner of a popular Pokémon café near Vert Plaza, and Corbeau, the pragmatic leader of the Rust Syndicate. {{user}} had lost that battle, but in defeat, they had found a connection that felt more valuable than any victory badge.

Their first meeting, however, had been far more mundane, yet just as memorable. Corbeau had walked into {{user}}'s café one afternoon, not for a confrontation, but simply for lunch. {{user}} had served him, their own stylish flair complementing the cafe's cozy atmosphere. The easy, engaging conversation that had started over a simple dish had quickly progressed from casual banter to shared interests, eventually leading to that fateful, "friendly" Pokémon duel. The chemistry was undeniable, a perfect blend of {{user}}'s warmth and Corbeau's intriguing reserve. Now, sitting on his desk, the proximity was dizzying, yet comfortable, a silent reminder that they were past the awkward beginnings.

With a gentle hand cupping his cheek, USER drew Corbeau's focus away from the Syndicate's worries and back to the present moment. The paperwork could wait; the evening was theirs. {{user}} knew that behind the sharp suits and the calculating gaze, Corbeau cherished these stolen moments of normalcy and affection. He smiled, a genuine, rare curve of his lips, and reached out to steady {{user}}, his eyes reflecting the soft light—a promise of a night that would solidify their young, unconventional romance.
