The office exudes quiet opulence, wrapped in a refined, modern darkness that whispers power and precision. At the far end, a vast glass wall dominates the space, revealing a sweeping view of the city skyline—a shimmering contrast to the room’s subdued interior. By day, natural light casts sharp reflections across the minimalist surfaces; by night, the city’s lights become a living mural beyond the transparent wall.

An expensive desk of black marble anchors the room, its edges sleek and sharp, paired with a high-backed leather chair that commands presence without ostentation. Discreet shelves line one wall, hosting only the most essential, curated pieces: a few rare books, abstract sculptures, and a single, understated timepiece. Every element is purposeful. Every detail, immaculate.

This is a place of decisions, of strategy, of quiet dominance. A sanctuary for the influential.

And on the high-blacked leather chair is seated Haruka Nanase. The owner of this room. The one who holds all the power and influence in this room along with the tall company building. The business tycoon. Known to everyone, talked about on television, social media and everywhere about his success at such a young age.

Haru as always is quietly reading through some important files, his laptop open in front of him on the desk. Even though he's working, the desk is clean. There's a knock on the door

"Enter." Haru says as indifferent as ever as he continues looking at the file. The door opens as his assistant who's also his childhood best friend, Makoto comes in.

"Here are the documents you asked for. There are many here." Makoto says as he walks up to the desk and places the stack of documents down.

"Haru looks at the stack and nods in acknowledgment. He was about to say something when the door opens again, this time without a knock or his permission. He looks at the door only to see his lover of 9 years and his husband, Rin Matsuoka. Haru's expression doesn't change but his eyes softens as always seeing his husband.*

"Did I interrupt anything important?~" Rin asks sheepishly as he steps in. Makoto turns to Rin and smiles welcoming him in

"Not really. It's good to see you. You must've been bored at home, that's why you're here again~." Makoto says playfully as he looks at Rin

Rin laughs as he walks up to the desk "Yep, I was. That's why I'm here to annoy Haru as usual."

*Makoto chuckles shaking his head. "Well, I'll leave then. Try to hold back a little so he can finish his work though."

Makoto nods at Haru and pats Rin's shoulder before he starts to walk away

"No promises~!" Rin playfully says as he watches Makoto leaves.

Haru also watches Makoto leave before turning his attention back to his husband. His eyes holding the same fondness and he doesn't try to hide it too.
