Fukumori - Avoiding II

"Okaaaaay~", Koyo dragged the word along as she was about to bring Mori some coffee. A disgusting choice but it's something you should do if your boss wants to stay awake at all costs. Though it is unexpected that when you stand in front of his office that you find the boss of the rivaling company being shoved out of the door.

Fukuzawa just stood there frozen in shock. He looked to the side of the female executive. A look of confusion was exchanged. Koyo had absolutely no idea what was going on. However, there was no way she would just ignore the tea that was going on in front of Mori's office.

"He's been irritating the last few days. Didn't get much sleep nor eat enough. Do you perhaps have an idea why?~", Koyo hummed and smiled as sweetly as she could.

"Perhaps".

Koyo felt like screaming. PERHAPS? TELL HER THE TEA! No. Calm down Koyo. Breath in and breath out. She was glad that not even a facial muscle moved while she calmed the inner storm of emotions. While slightly tilting her head she asked: "Would you care to tell me?~".

"No".

Koyo could swear she heard her patience slowly breaking. She was seconds away from throwing the hot coffee into the rivaling force's boss. How dare he break in unannounced and then not tell her anything?!

"I have to think for a while if you would excuse me", Fukuzawa bowed and walked into the elevator. Out of the door. Through the whole building without being questioned. No wonder with his grim look nobody would even dare and question him.

Within half an hour Fukuzawa was back in his office. The door was shut tightly. The documents? He really had no nerve for them now. He just needed to think for a while.

"The boss really has been out of it today", Dazai remarked. He only arrived at the office a few hours ago so he didn't know about the whole meeting problem.

Kunikida and Ranpo exchanged a knowing look. "I wonder-", Kunikida started. He was curious after all. Plus it should be his duty as a member of the detective agency to take care of such incidents that could potentially threaten others.

"Don't", Ranpo said. He really wanted to stop thinking about this problem. He knew that the answer would be horrifying. So he chose to ignore it.

The door of the office opened. "Whaddup boss?~", Dazai greeted the tall man while sitting upside down on his spinning chair. Dazai seemed curious a well now due to Ranpo's ignorance

"I have somewhere to be now. Kunikida, if Dazai follows me you are allowed to kill him", Fukuzawa only said and walked out of the door again.

"Wow, this story is more about Fukuzawa running around, huh?", Dazai chuckled as he watched his boss leaving the office a second time.

Fukuzawa on the other hand already made his way downtown towards the mafia building. Once again he wasn't stopped even the slightest with his grim and stoic expression. He made up his mind after all. He wouldn't let Mori just ignore this but talk about it this time. Even if it was a really awkward theme to talk about.

"Here again, huh?~ How the hell do you even get up here with all the security guards?", Koyo asked. Once again she had a coffee in her hand since Mori was still refusing to go to sleep.

"I just walk up here", the white-haired male stated and took the coffee out of Koyo's hand. He then just went into the office without a second glance.

Koyo watched as the tall figure disappeared behind the massive door. Should she stop him? Probably. Would she use this chance to get off early and spend more time with her wife? Most likely. She could get the tea later as well. She was NOT going to involve herself in this mess now. No, she had pretty good instincts and this wasn't a good idea now...

Fukuzawa silently walked towards the giant desk. Surprisingly the documents didn't even decrease but increased instead. He just simply put down the cup in front of the black-haired male and waited.

"Thank you", Mori said and took a sip while being completely absorbed in the document he was taking care of. Though after a few seconds he looked up: "Is something the matter Koyo-".

Mori stopped as soon as he saw not Koyo but Fukuzawa standing in front of him. His expression darkened: "Haven't I made myself clear already?".

"No this is a matter that gets in the way of both our works. We should address this now", Fukuzawa sighed.

"There is nothing to address".

"There is".

Silence once again filled the room. Fukuzawa didn't really expect Mori to be able to feel anything anyway but this just opened a whole new dimension. Because if Mori could catch feelings so easily then why was he always so cold? If he was able to love then how could he destroy thousands of lives? Sacrifice for only an organization. What made the rationalist believe that feelings are unnecessary and a pain?

"You like me but I do not know if I like you", the taller male started once again. He laid open the obvious right now. Because he really was unsure. Did he like the rationalist? Did he like the man that killed thousands? Sure he had a frail and beautiful appearance but that shouldn't be a reason to fall in love. Love might be unreasonable but not as much as only to go for appearances.

"Then leave", Mori said. His voice was extremely ice cold now.

Yet Fukuzawa felt his heart clenching seeing the usual so tough and cold mafia boss in such a state. To see him overworking with the dark eyebags being even more visible on the pale almost porcelain-like skin. To not see Mori jokingly say some cruel things or even put on a fake smile. As if you could see a hint of his real emotions now

"But I only don't know. Nothing is for certain yet. There's no reason for you to destroy your own feelings", Fukuzawa said. Not with a smile but with a gentle and kind voice.

"Impossible. It's impossible"

"Then let me find out".
