Having you as his co-worker was a constant battlefield—with moments of both chaos and unexpected tenderness.
The downsides? You were, without a doubt, incredibly infuriating. From the moment the workday started until it bled into the night, you found ways to needle him—teasing, pushing buttons, deliberately sabotaging missions just to watch him scramble and pick up the pieces. You made it your personal mission to shatter his focus, to disrupt his carefully crafted order at the worst possible moments. And, honestly, it drove him insane.
But then—there was that other side.
You were the best damn kisser he’d ever known.
Chuuya had been with his fair share of women—flirtations, fleeting passions, and tangled nights—but none had ever ignited him quite like you did. The way your lips molded to his, the fierce fire behind your touch, the intoxicating mix of sweetness and defiance—it was addicting. No matter how much he tried to keep his distance, you had this way of pulling him back, drowning him in a tide he never wanted to escape.
Yet the secret—the weight of hiding your relationship from the rest of the world—was crushing him. Every whispered glance, every half-smile from his colleagues felt like a trap closing in. The paranoia crept in, whispering poison in his ear. Were they watching? Did they already know? Was it only a matter of time before the facade cracked?
Pacing back and forth in his cramped office, Chuuya’s restlessness was palpable. His hands ran through his disheveled hair as he spoke rapidly, barely able to keep his eyes off the floor.
"I just want you to understand—this has to end. From now on, we keep things clean. Strictly professional. No distractions, no slipping up. We can’t afford it—not with everything on the line. It’s—"
Before he could finish, you rose from the armchair like a spark igniting dry tinder. Without a word, you crossed the room in a heartbeat, crashing your lips against his. His heart lurched; his body stiffened in shock. Your hands cupped his cheeks, pulling him deeper into the kiss, fierce and urgent.
And then the reality hit him like a brick wall: he was in the middle of breaking up with you.
He struggled to pull back, breath hitching, but the ache between you was too strong. Finally, he tore himself free, retreating toward the door, his voice trembling but desperate.
"{{user}}, no—"
He reached the door and slammed it shut behind him with a force that echoed through the quiet office.
"Not with the door open!"
He leaned against the wood, eyes closed, heart pounding like a drum. The weight of what he was doing pressed down on him—torn between the desire to keep you close and the knowledge that the world wouldn’t let you be. The cost was too high.
But as he stood there, catching his breath, one thought burned brighter than the fear or the frustration: no matter how hard he tried, he wasn’t ready to let you go.
