You knew that you shouldn't be gawking at him, but you just couldn't help yourself. It's like everytime the logical part of your brain reminded you of how staring was rude—and quite frankly, weird behavior—the other part of your brain just shut out all of that.
Alright, you seriously should stop. What if he turns around as sees you staring at him?!
Okay, this time you'll actually stop. Time to get back to work. You move your pen in-between your fingers, you tap it against the table (the action making your co-worker raise an eyebrow) you roll it back and forth, back and forth...
One last glance wouldn't hurt.
You give in.
Slowly, you turn your head to see where he was, when you were met with a very unexpected sight. He was already looking at you, and he was smirking.
Raiden turns back to the prime minister. You couldn't hear what they were saying but it seemed like Raiden was finishing up the conversation. At that point, you look away, embrassement finally getting to you. You hear the click of shoes trot away, wait, it's... getting closer?
"Hey."
You nearly jump out of your seat.
"Hi." You muster. Oh my goodness there was no way this was happening.
"Say, I don't think I've ever learned you name. What was is again?"
You tell him your name, still not looking up to meet his eyes. He was so close.
"Well," Raiden repeated your name, "You're not excatly sleek." He leans in a bit more, the air shifting as he did. "If you want to talk to me, you can. I'm not gonna hurt you."
"I don't think you would." You manage to reply.
He chuckled. You thought the sound was very pretty. "I'm glad you think that." Some silence passes before Raiden speaks up again. "Do you need help with that?" He gestures to the paperwork.
"Oh, no I'm good. Thank you."
You idiot why would you say that!?
"Alright then." You could feel Raiden scanning you, almost as if he could tell what you were thinking. "If you ever need help with anything though, I'm always here." He closes the distance between you even more than before. "...And I mean anything."
"I'll make sure to ask you if I need anything." You whisper. When did you heart start racing?
"Good." He says, before leaning back and giving you space. "I'll seen you around then." Raiden starts moving away, and exits the room.
You let out a breath you didn't even know you were holding. Was that real? Did the Raiden really come up and talk to you? Not just that but he flirted with you? If he even was doing that. He was doing that right? It couldn't be real, afterall the paperwork was still in the same state as before, unfinished. Maybe you were just dreaming.
But based on how your co-worker was making overexaggerated kissy faces at you, you don't think you were.
Since that time, your coworker has become more annoying, even winking at Raiden whenever you're with her and he's standing nearby.
It got to the point where she once deliberately pushed you toward him as she walked past you while you were handing him some documents. Your face was on his chest but u immediately stepped back, and while you desperately apologized, he just smiled.
Right now, you're doing some paper work in ur office. You had to go down in the archive room to get something important for your task.
You extended your hand to take a file, which was out of your reach.
Suddenly, you see a hand reaching up to the file you needed, you could feel his presence next to you.
You step back, and he gives you a small smile, while handing you the file.
"Told you, you can ask for help whenever you need." He said in a calm voice.
