Hello, boys and girls, my name's Kitayama Hiromitsu and I've been transferred to a different division after working for merely several months in Kimura Corps. Some people really can't understand a good joke.
But I don't mind as much as you could presume. In fact, I've managed to score whoever was there to score in export section, and believe me, there weren't many. On the other hand, I've heard all kinds of jokes and gossips and I've seen many pairs of eyes rolling on the mention of Product Development in our company, so I was excited about meeting the famous crew for real.
The first morning I stepped out of the elevator on the fifth floor with a box full of supposedly important and useful things from my previous desk, I was on a standby. I was watching every person passing me in the halls, and, exactly like I expected, they were all male, and majority of them gave out that characteristic vibe of very 'open-minded' people, if you know what I mean.
Good.
I knew I'd have fun here.
I went to greet my new boss and had to go through that absolutely, ultimately, heart-throbbing beautiful secretary on a way. Yet as soon as I reached the desk of this wet-dream walking, I felt a pair of eyes piercing through my back and soon I knew if I wanted to pull anything out with that guy, this time I wouldn't end up being merely transferred, but murdered by his colleague instead.
Huh, ok, so one guy over here had an incurable, possibly dangerous crush on the beauty. I should take him off my list immediately. As for the secretary, he seemed very stand-offish and hard to get to, not to mention a proud type, so I'd have to use some magic to get into his pants.
I always liked magic tricks. But I wouldn't be as stupid as to start from the hardest task at hand and earn a tag of 'hopelessly-in-love' like that funny guy surely already did. His eyes were trying to kill me for half a day just because I greeted the secretary with a smile and shook his hand twice.
The boss was not to be discussed. He may be handsome, but... Just no.
As I told you before, I was supposed to be on stand by during my first day. No groping the asses of baito boys, no seductive smiles to senpais and none of that unintentional sexiness I practiced for years. Unfortunately, I managed to keep that act for a quarter of an hour only, before HE entered the office.
He was moving with a panther's grace, slowly, but firmly. Smartly mixing seductiveness with boyish charm, similarly to what I always did, but he was much more on the sexy side. Probably not much older than me, he managed to give out a vibe of a grown-up man with just a touch of silliness that made him create a fresh and likable atmosphere around himself.
To put it simply: he was damn hot and I wanted him.
The moment I saw him I forgot about my policy of getting used to the new hunting zone and drifted in his direction putting some extra attention to how my hips moved, but not losing him from sight. Actually I was trying to catch his gaze and keep it locked on me. Naturally I managed. The eye contact lasted for about ten seconds before I took a sudden turn around my newly acquired desk and started to sort things there. This technique has never failed me, he was now bound to come over and start a conversation, more or less sloppily, still uncertain about why I was looking at him so intensely. However, he passed me by without a word and went over to where another cutie was waving at him. He leaned all over that smaller boy, laughing silently and whispered something into his ear. But when he was doing that, he was looking straight into my eyes.
Wow.
It seemed like he knew exactly what my prerogatives were.
Impossible, but real.
I gave him a smile and winked at him shamelessly. Time for Plan B.
***
In the afternoon, when the black haired shortie was busy discussing with clients, I've decided to approach the secretary once again. I had all reason to, because my target was interested in him as well, which I couldn't overlook. Also, there were several things about how this department worked that I still needed to get familiar with, and that person seemed more appropriate to be asked about it than the boss.
I've decided to put on friendly attitude at first, to get that poor lord of stiffness to talk to me freely, and annoy my real interest a little.
"Ueda-senpai" I started with a smile, still three meters from his desk, and almost run to him when he looked at me. "I'm sorry, are you very busy at the moment?.."
It wasn't yet clear to me yet if he was always busy or always slacking off either writing in his notebook and planner or following the boss. But with a glimpse or two more of the boss himself I was soon to vote for the option saying that the fact our division still runs is thanks to Ueda's great organizing skills.
"No, how can I help you?" he returned the smile and put his notes aside. I beamed, and, with a corner of an eye, realized my target is clenching his fists. The other guy who was there with him said something I couldn't hear ‘cause I was already explaining my problems to Ueda. Then both of them went out to the hall and I felt I should have a sudden brainwave and leave Ueda alone in next ten seconds if I am to maintain the dealer position in this game.
"...and if they accept, it's usually my job to decide who gets which parts to go through in detailed project." Ueda finished a sentence I unfortunately missed the beginning of, being too focused on observing where those other two are going, to casually follow them in a moment.
"Oh, so that's how it works!" I laughed, trying to hide the fact that I totally missed the point. "Sorry for asking stupid questions, I'm not wasting your time anymore."
"You're not wasting my time, feel free to ask whatever you want" he answered politely, and I was already on the run.
Now, where did they go? They weren't anywhere in the hall, not in the toilet too, they couldn't leave this floor so casually without reporting to Ueda ('to the boss' as it would be on any other floor, but I already realized it's Ueda whom you report to when you're leaving here. Sometimes you can report to the boss if Ueda stands behind him). So...
"Excuse me; have you seen Akanishi-senpai?" I asked first person I saw in the hall.
"I believe he went to the Archive room with Kaz... Kamenashi."
"Thanks!" I saluted to the guy and went on a journey to find the Archive of the fifth floor. Luckily it wasn't far away. And, another lucky thing, it was in a corner close to emergency staircase so I could eavesdrop freely without much risk of being discovered by people passing by.
"...and now he's making a pass on Ueda, hell knows why!" I heard Akanishi speaking. How sweet, it seems my bait was taken as a whole.
"C'mon, that guy came here this morning, it's normal he's all eyes. And even if he really had a crush on Ueda formed so soon, we all support Ryo so he'll have..."
There was a sound of something breaking after that part so I didn't hear the end of the sentence well.
"You alright?" the same voice asked, and Akanishi answered something incoherently, probably nodding and trying to take care of whatever was now broken.
I guessed the name 'Ryo' must have been referring to the short man who wanted to stab me with his gaze earlier that day. He must have had that crush on Ueda made official long time ago if nobody realized Akanishi's interested too. Well, that or Ryo's obviousness dimmed Akanishi's slight interest leaving it without the smallest chance of coming to a visible surface. The better for me.
"Is your plan of getting them together progressing well?.." Gosh, was that guy blind or something? I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Inside the Archive, Akanishi was about to answer, and I suppose it could have even been a confession of his true goals, but before he managed to spell anything more than a mumble about having something to tell Kamenashi, the door to the Archive opened hitting my forehead, and said Kamenashi emerged from inside with a smirk on his face.
"I hope your curiosity is satisfied now" he said to me.
My jaw fell on the floor and stayed there. Just... how? When? Why?
"I don't know it too..." Akanishi said in a whispering voice disturbingly close to my ear, and we both watched Kamenashi going back to the main room. "But he was right again, since you ARE here and WERE eavesdropping. So let me straighten the things once again and thoroughly."
I blinked, collected my jaw, placed it where it should have been and tried to look sexy.
"You're acting like a whore." He said.
"Am not." I protested.
"You are." He insisted.
"I'm not acting like a whore." I corrected. "I am a whore."
His turn to blink.
"You're not."
"Oh, I am."
"Listen, dear" he got even closer to my ear, and I felt the temperature rising. "I am the whore of this office."
I kinda saw it coming but still it was quite a move on his side to answer like that. I loved how it felt to the remnants of my conscience.
"Maybe you have been one?.." I grinned, putting my arms over his shoulders.
"You're hundred years to early to be saying that, dear" he whispered again and kissed me fully on the lips. I gave in almost immediately, and on the spur of the moment decided I'd let him lead this time.
I should have been satisfied that he fell and kissed me first, which meant he was already inside my trap.
But why did it feel so much like I've lost that kiss to him instead?
***
Two long and boring days of checking and computing later I finally had a chance to see him again. He smiled and winked at me as if he wasn't afraid of losing his position at all. As if I wasn't worth being acknowledged as a rival. He was acting all top class, it made me sick.
Although I were about to come closer and greet him, I momentarily changed tactics. I wouldn't let him win so easily, I'd show him what mess was I capable of creating!
I went passed him and put my arm around the neck of the first next person behind Akanishi, ostentatiously kissing that person on the cheek.
It happened to be the very last person on my list, that short brunette, Nishikido.
