"Please talk to me about your worry."

You still grab his sleeve. Reiji felt shy when you said that. He just looked at you and look away.

"You look like small kid."

It's embrassing for you as well. The fact you and him just become friend so suddenly because of his sillyness.

"Hey! I'm old enough to drink!"

"Don't do that. You are too young for that."

"I'm already legal okay?!" You pouted. It made Reiji pinched your cheeks. "Don't be mad~ i'm just joking."

"I'm already 23!"

"I'm 25. I beat you. Tehehe~"

"Jeez... can we serious about this?" You asked.

Reiji were walking left you behind, didn't answer what you are talking about. "Reiji!!"

"What is it, Apricot?"

"Apricot? What with your sweet word again?"

"I just want to call you that, (y/n)."

"Ah." Reiji stopped as you reach his step. You tapped his back like both of you already a longlast friend. "You should do that to your girlfriend, not me."

"Then become my girlfriend."

You felt awkward and left a soft smile, "i'm sorry. Are you joking?"

"I'm not." Reiji face became serious. You know, dating is fun. But, he just a work partner, nothing else. This project is your first work after your metal breakdown.

It's better if i'm not play around

"I-i... i ca-"

"Answer that when you are ready. Not now, okay?" Reiji ruffled your hair and smiled, left you confused. "By the way, nice hoodie. I have that one too."

"Oh! This hoodie is mainstream..."

"Hey hey~ i already accompany you. How about you do that to me too?"

♧

Oversized sweaters colored yellow written 'nevermind' in the right chest colored red and orange thay tucked in a jeans skirts that as long as knee, transparent black stockings, black boots, straight hair. Of course you bring a tote bag.

"Why you dress so well? You look so different."

Mikaze Ai said that without thinking. Of course, he is a robot. He waited the company car to come and drive him and the rest quartet night to the studio. Beside you, he just look at you with serious eyes.

"Is it wrong if i dress so nice?"

Ai crossed his hands on his chest. Smirking a little bit, while look away from your eyes.

"Girls are troublesome."

You just keep silent, doesn't want him to mocking you one more time. At least, you need to get along with them due to your works.

"You're mad, aren't you?" Ai muttered. "It's in my data, you cannot lie from me."

"Your data? What kind of human are you? An A.I just like your name?"

"If you know that, how i suppose to answer?"

Another answer from Ai, made you just said "ah-" in awkward moment. No one knows about that, except the company you see in the anime either in the game ;)

"I'm sorry... i don't know about that..."

"It's a fact, why would you say sorry?"

"No... i..."

"I must say, it's fine? It's not really a big deal. Just work good, and help us today."

You smiled, bowed and said "i will!"

A step come from behind, Camus and Ranmaru come. Camus give you his bag and his stuff, "bring this. Today you are our assistant." His low tone voice is different from the TV show. He is kinda "rude" you mumbled.

"You fine?" Ranmaru asked with his husky voice.

"Totally fine! I guess... haha..."

"You look stunning today," Ranmaru complimented you. Camus and Ai just shocked. Yes shocked. They glanced Ranmaru with 'ew wth' face.

"Thank you...? I don't know what i suppose to say... cuz you know, haha-.. ha"

It's just awkward. Until the car came and you asked, "Where is Reiji?"

"He drive himself with his car. You'll go with us right?"

A car horn sounds so loud. It was Reiji, before you get a chance to answer Ranmaru question, Reiji came out and grab your hand.

"Let's go." He said with a smile. Your other hand was holding Camus bag and his stuff and your tote bag. So you just gave a smile and answered, "i make a promise with him. So, i'll go with him. I'm sorry."

"It's fine-" Ranmaru seems pissed.

"C'mon, you're wasting your time with Ranran! It's not fair."

"Fair- what do you mean by that?"

"Nevermind~, enter the car okay?"

Reiji opened the car door for you as the others get in the company car.

"(Y/N)-tan! Are you ready?" He said while preparing to drive. You, the one who bring all of Camus's needs he seems bothered by that.

"Camus did this to you?"

"I'm your assistant, it's my job for one day."

He's thinking, and took those stuff and put that on the backseat.

"Aye aye miss assistant!~ Please put your seatbelt."

You put the seatbelt, while you caught he was staring at you the whole time.

"I'm not dressing weird, right?"

"No~ You look beautiful as always!"

You are flushtered to hear that from a guy. Even before from Ranmaru. Think that this guy is such a clown and a player.

"Hey, it's not fair. You look good as well!"

"Ah! Me?" Reiji seems confused. Smiled awkwardly and ruffled his hair on his neck a lil bit. "Thanks?... i guess."

"What's wrong with you? Your hair is a mess now~" you move closer to brush his hari and make it neat. "Eck-"

Reiji pulled your arms and make the distance between your face and his closer. Smirking, saying "So you can see my mess more detail."

"Stop teasing me!" You pouted in front of Reiji's face and push his chest gently when you're done with his hair.

"Aw~ you mad?"

"No... it's just-Reiji! We're gonna be late for your photoshoot."

"Really?" Reiji looked to his watch and calmly replied, "oh yeah. You're right, miss assistant! Thank you for remembering me."

Finnaly Reiji start to drive, you were fixing your sweaters and your hair. Doing your little make up. Using a spray to make your make up stand still, "hm~ it's smell good right?"

"What product is it?" Reiji asked as he focused to the road.

"It's a setting spray? Face mist? Face spray? I dont know the differences."

"I thought you won't wear make up. Seeing you with your hoodie and you like this. You just have different vibe from before wow."

"Teasing me again? It's girl thing. Wanting to look good. Even boys didn't notice. Haha."

"I already said, you look pretty today (y/n)-tan~"

"Thanks, Reiji." You look to his eyes and stopped do your make up to answer his compliment.

He stopped in front of a coffee shop.

"Hey, what coffee do you want?"

"Can i get hot chocolate instead?"

"Cute~ wait a minute, kay?"

He left about fifteen minutes, you even received a message from an unknown number.

It's Mikaze Ai. I got your number from Nanami. Tell Reiji he need to be here in 30 minutes. Don't forget to bring Kamyus stuff. He's gonna be mad if you don't.

It's Mikaze. Reiji came and brought many can coffees and two coffee in plastic cups. "Why so many? For the staff?"

"Bingo~"

"Drive faster, kay? Mikaze-san messaged me to be there in half hour."

♧

Your day ended in eight o'clock in the night. Feeling tired, you slept on a sofa in Quartet Night guest room. Being an assistant? More like being a slave for Camus. Bringing his tea, carry his goods, even their male manager just laughed at how rough Camus to you.

"Hey she's sleeping." Camus, the first one who noticed you sleeping while he was tidying his stuff ti his bag.

"It's your fault Myu-chan. You are being too hard to her today." Reiji said in his joking tone.

"You're being too loud Reiji."

"Shut up Aiai."

Reiji wakes you up. Your vision came little by little. "How was your sleep, Apricot?"

"Huh?" Your eyes became bigger due to shocked.

"Oh... i... where am i?"

"In the guest room."

"Correct... you all done?"

"Let's go home, (y/n)." Reiji pulled your hands and make you stand up in sleepy situation.

"You awake?" You just nodded. Reiji held your hand so you can walk properly, he bring your tote bag and his bag as well, saying to the staff and the members, "I'll head home first. Good work today! See you guys later~"

Reiji walk out, through to the basement with you beside him.

Ah this is so embrassing

You're wide awake and reliazed Reiji's hand was holding yours. His big hand was warm and nice.

Reiji opened the door of the back seat and let you lay down there, "just lay down and sleep. You need some rest okay?"

You nodded and he sat on the front seat, driving your way to dorm.

"You want to go to the flower park tommorrow?"
