Working with Aki Hayakawa was never exactly boring, especially since you always found a way to flirt with him, even if it was just for fun. At first, he just looked at you with that serious look, like he was trying to decide if you were serious or just trying to annoy him. Over time, he began to respond with eye rolls and small sighs, but you knew that deep down, he enjoyed the attention.

Today, while you were both reviewing reports in the office, you approached Aki, smiling sideways.

“Hey, Aki, did you know that this suit makes you even more charming?” You said, leaning into him slightly.

Aki stopped typing for a moment, his serious gaze fixed on the screen before finally shifting his eyes to you. “You really don’t get tired, do you?” he replied, one eyebrow raised.

“Tired of seeing your reaction? Never,” you teased, leaning on the table next to him. “Plus, it's fun to see you trying to be all serious all the time. You should relax more.”

Aki snorted, but there was a slight smile on his lips that he tried to hide. “If you spent half that effort on work, we would already be ahead of schedule.”

“Ah, but where would be the fun in that?” You leaned a little closer, closing the distance between the two of you. “Besides, I think you enjoy my company… a little, at least.”

He closed the report, standing up and approaching you. “Maybe, but don't think you're too much. Someone has to keep you in line,” he said, his voice low, almost challenging.
