Sorry if I haven't been working on requests >.< To be honest, I've been working on different stories here that just pop out in my head even if they're not requested. Again, I'm truly truly sorry for all the waiting. I hope this one makes up for some of it.

[The photo is not mine but look at those adorable amigurumis!!!]

ISFP (male) x ENTJ (female)

It's been two weeks and Nix has been sick of living in this body!

A bit of context for those who are new here, Nix - short for Vernice - was this woman who was just one month away from becoming promoted to head team leader. Finally, she was so close to having a stable life, especially in terms of income. That is...

Until her soul switched bodies.

Yes. Apparently, those stories one hears of souls entering and controlling different bodies are true.

Nix had to say goodbye to her body and the way she lived her life the moment she woke in a man's body. It deeply puzzled her at first, but when she saw the face of the body she entered she fainted.

The body she's in belongs to one of her team members, Dan, the one she finds the weakest in terms of effort and...ugh, just everything about him!

Every time they have a project together, it's clear that he doesn't give the best output and she hates that the most! Like, honestly, why take a job you know you're going to suck at?!

Anyway, back to the situation at present. Knowing that Dan is currently in control of her body, they decide to both reside in Nix's apartment so that they can keep an eye on what the other is doing with their bodies. Well...it was actually Nix who proposed this whole arrangement and Dan decided to say yes to everything. Again, he's that incompetent, as per what Nix would say about him. So she had to pack some of his clothes in his apartment to bring them to her own apartment, because, again, she is in a man's body.

Currently, as she's reading a book on the couch while Dan is busy preparing supper for the two of them, her phone (Dan's real phone) starts to ring and she picks it up without checking the caller I.D.

"Good evening," she greets the person on the other line while still reading through the last page of the chapter she's on. The deep voice of the man she's in took her some time to get used to, but now it's starting to feel like second nature to her. "This is Dan speaking."

"Dan, honey!" The voice shrieks in pure excitement that Nix had to pull the phone away from her ear and bite back a curse word that threatened to escape her mouth.

Who the hell is this person?

This is when she decides to check the caller's I.D. and she feels her blood run cold when what's written on the I.D. is Mom.

"Mom," she breathes out in growing panic. She jumps out of the couch and rushes to Dan, slapping his (well, her) shoulder repeatedly.

"Woah, Woah, what?" He asks in her feminine voice. She shoves the phone into his face and she sees how his eyes widened in fear. "Mom?!" Nix places an index finger between her lips to shush him before placing the phone in speaker mode so that he could hear their conversation as well.

"H-Hey, mom," she greets into the phone.

"Dan? I heard a woman's voice a while ago. Is someone with you?"

Nix throws Dan a look in panic and he decides to mouth the word girlfriend over and over.

"What?!" She shouts in a whisper. "You want me to say that I'm living with my girlfriend?"

"Yes, go!" He whispers back urgently.

'I'm not going to do that! What happens if it might give your mom a heart attack?!"

"Trust me, Nix. My mom will be over the moon that I finally have a 'girlfriend'," he finishes bringing his hands up to make air quotes as he spoke.

Nix clears her throat and answers in a louder voice, "I-uh, I'm sorry that this is how you're finding out." She throws a look at Dan and quietly he signals her to continue. "I actually have been living in my girlfriend's place for some time now."

"Oh, my God!!!" Dan's mom squeals and then shouts, "Dear, dear, come quick and listen to this! Dan told me that he finally has a girlfriend!"

"Girlfriend?" A new voice is heard over the phone and Dan's eyes widen all the more.

"Dad?" Dan whispers from beside Nix.

"Congratulations, Dan, my boy!" His dad cheers into the phone. "Your mom kept on telling me that she worried over you-"

"Dear, you don't have to tell them that! I'm sure Dan's girlfriend can hear what we're saying now. Hello, dearie! May I ask what your name is?"

Nix elbows Dan to answer his mom. She cannot believe how surreal this whole ordeal is.

Dan leans near the phone and answers in Nix's voice, "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Dela Cruz. M-My name is Vernice."

Nix almost wanted to kill him on the spot ever since he spoke her real name. "Why did you say my full first name?" She scolds him in a whisper, "You know that I hate my name!"

"Are you seriously wanting to start fighting over that?" He whispers back. "Please, we've been fighting even before we switched bodies. Now can you just stop for now?"

Nix could only roll her eyes at him as a reply.

"Oh, Vernice, that's such a lovely name! Dan, your father and I are actually planning to visit you in a few days! Those were one of the reasons why I called you so that you'll know ahead of time. We don't have to visit your place, though. We just want to see you and now, meet Vernice as well!"

"Oh no," Dan murmurs only for Nix to hear. He and Nix know that they're going to be busy with their arrival for the next few days.

"T-That's great, mom!" Nix tried to hide the dread looming over her voice. "What's the, uh, o-other reason why you called, mom?"

"Oh! Dan, the photographer finally sent the pictures of your amigurumi creations! Wait, let me forward the pictures to you. Check them out and tell me if you like them! If not, I'll tell him to change the lighting or backdrop if ever."

"A-Amigurumi?" Nix utters in pure confusion. It's her first time hearing such a word, but Dan, on the other hand, immediately panicked and grabbed his phone from Nix's hand. "Hey!" Nix shouts.

"Are you okay over there?"

"Y-Yes, mom!" Nix replies, "I just need to go ahead for now! Thanks for sending the, er, pictures! See you in a few days!"

Dan then immediately ends the call by tapping on the red button before dashing into the living room with his phone with him.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Nix shouts at him. "What's gotten into your panties?" (Well, her panties, but she does not want to talk about that.)

"Y-You have no right to look at the pictures mom sent! Remember, that I am the true owner of this phone, alright?"

"What's so secretive with those ami-whatever creatures? So what if they're figurines for your model kits or whatever, I won't judge that."

Dan then breathes out a sigh of defeat and shakes his head. "T-They're not technically figurines..."

"As long as it's not a code word for drugs then I think there's nothing wrong with showing them to me. Come on, if we're going to continue living in each other's bodies then I think I should know what you're hiding from me."

Dan sets his lips into a tight line, still hugging his phone close to his chest. It takes him a few moments to let go of the tension in his shoulders and then show his phone screen to Nix. She takes a few steps toward him and when the picture on the screen becomes clearer, she stops and gawks at it.

"T-These are my amigurumi creatures," Dan admits shyly, the tips of his ear slowly turning red out of embarrassment. It's Nix's first time witnessing the way she blushes, but that doesn't matter to her at the moment.

Cute crocheted animals made out of colorful yarn and stuffing sit together in a line in the picture Dan is showing her. She's still at a loss for words because she never expected someone like Dan to be into this kind of thing.

"I-I started learning and making them when I was in Junior High school with my grandmother," he continues, sometimes stammering with his words. He's kept this passion from everyone in their company because it embarrassed him that he spends so much time making these while others are out there helping out in different charities or making changes in the world with their good deeds.

The joy he gets while starting, working, and finishing an amigurumi creature is one that is incomparable to anything else. Now he's scared that Nix's knowledge of what he does will take away the joy he gets with this activity.

But the moment he saw the corners of her mouth slowly twitch up to form a smile, his thoughts stop. Even if it's clear that it's his smile he's seeing, in some weird way - he sees Nix smiling, not him.

"Dan," she whispers, her eyes still transfixed on the picture before her. She even zooms in on the picture to look at the minute details of the crocheted animals.

"W-What? Are you smiling because you find them stupid?"

She shakes her head. "They're adorable," she whispers, then walks to the couch to grab the jacket hanging on the armrest. "Let's go," she then says.

"Go? Go where?"

"Your apartment."

"My apartment? What about supper?"

"Supper can wait. This," she points to the ground, "can't wait."

"Wait, wait, why do you want to go to my apartment?"

And with a smile on her face, she answers, "I think it's about time I make the effort to know more about you."
