"Pieck baby, don't play with my feelings like that! You know I want you!" You call out to Pieck as she's getting into her car. "I'm sorry but I'm just not into you right now." Pieck says with a stoic look before she pulls off. You let out a deep sigh before turning around, heading back to your place of work. "Dude." You turn around to face Galliard. "Oh, hey Galliard." "Don't hey me, (Y/N). You literally ran out of your job to chase after a girl whose not into you. Sad." Galliard says crudely. "Damn, you don't have to be so rude about everything you do." You say as you head back to your position as a cashier. "I'm surprised Magath hasn't fired you yet. Anyways, (Y/N). You like Pieck?" Galliard asks you. "I mean no shit, dude. She's such an enigma. I just wanna get closer to her, y'know?" You say sighing a sigh of defeat. "And should you also be working, janitorial staff?" You chuckle. "Don't be smart with me, (Y/N)." Galliard says, annoyed as ever. "Look, I like your persistence and I know Pieck pretty well. I'm going to her place after my shift's up, you're coming with, alright?" Galliard then gets up and gets back to work. "Meet me at my car after our shift's done, don't make me regret doing something nice for you."

Your shift finally wrapped up during the early evening and you walked out to Galliard's car. "You ready, (Y/N)?" You nod but you're visibly nervous. "Dude, Pieck's not gonna bite you. If she likes you, she likes you, if she doesn't, you gotta call an Uber home." Galliard starts the engine and heads over to Pieck's place. After a quiet drive, you finally arrive. Galliard leads the way to Pieck's front door and knocks. "Galliard, do I smell bad? I want to leave a good impression on her." You say nervously, overthinking every scenario in the book. "Yeah, but I do, too. Working in fast food isn't exactly the best smelling job." Eventually, you both hear shuffling behind the door and it swings open. You both take a step inside and is greeted by Pieck crawling around on all fours. "Hey Galliard. Hi (Y/N). Welcome. Get comfortable, I'll get you guys something to drink." Pieck quickly scatters away into the kitchen, leaving you two in her living room. "Take a seat, (Y/N)." Galliard says, already making himself at home. "Hey, you know something?" "What?"  You say as you take a seat next to her cat, Gabi. "Pieck was comfortable enough around you to be on all fours, you're making progress, kid." "Oh, about that..." You pause a bit, noticing that Gabi is nuzzling your hand, trying to lay in your lap. "Why does Pieck crawl on all fours?" "It's because it feels more natural to me. I can't explain why." Pieck says out of the blue, carrying your drinks on her back. "Here, take it." Pieck says, waiting for you to grab your drink. "Thanks, Pieck." You say before taking a quick sip and then averting your attention back to Gabi. "Oh wow, Gabi seems to like you!" Pieck smiles and crawls back over to you. "If she likes you, that must mean there's something special about you, (Y/N)." Pieck looks up at you. You begin to feel flustered as Pieck laughs and takes a seat right next to you.

After spending a couple hours with Pieck and Galliard, It's time for you guys to head home. "Bye Pieck, I'll see you tomorrow. (Y/N), I'll meet you at the car." Galliard walks out. "Well, you were pretty cool today, (Y/N). Gabi seemed to think so, too. Keep it up." Pieck says while walking you to the front door, now fully upright. "You're not too bad yourself, Pieck." You chuckle, "But I wanted to apologize if I creeped you out earlier at work. I just really want to get to know you." You say as you start to feel embarrassed. "You're fine, (Y/N). I'm still not into you right now," Pieck leans in and kisses your cheek. "Or I could just be playing hard to get." She smiles and walks back inside her house.
