3rd person POV

The first thing gulf did when he woke up was check his temperature, Mew had already prepared everything for him the night before so all he had to do was sit up and grab the thermometer

Seeing it went back to normal he took some medicine just to make sure it was gone completely before standing up looking at the table of medicines it was a note that caught his attention

"I borrowed a key" gulf stared at the letter for almost 5 minutes before finally getting ready for work

~~~

"Here's your key back I asked Joel to make me another one already it should come later this month" mew said setting they key down on gulf desk

Gulf instantly slammed his hand on the key making James, king, Jenna and Mia look at them, Mew looked at them as well while gulf leaned over wiggling his pointed finger for mew to lean down some which he did and gulf began speaking

"I wish you returned it a little more stealthily" gulf whispered making mew lean down more confused

"Stealthily?" He asked

"You know, we don't want people getting any ideas" whispered a little louder this time making mew look at him gulf also looked up realizing what he said

"Sorry I didn't mean it that way" gulf continued speaking as mew continued to stare at gulf who shifted in his chair

"Gulfie" Joel's voice was suddenly heard making mew turn in the corner of gulfs small office box and act as if he was reading the file in his hand while Joel smiled as she spoke

"I set up a mixer for tonight" she state proudly smiling widely making gulf groan and mew stand up straight biting his bottom lip from saying something and bounce his leg as he continued to act as if he was reading

"You know I'm not interested in those things" gulf warned and Joel just smiled

"It's okay, the main attraction today is..." she looked over at mew who didn't notice until gulf spoke

"What" he said confused making mew jump and turn around seeing Joel and gulf staring at him Joel smiling gulf shocked

~~~

"You remember Katerina from the yajok core operations our sponsor she specifically wants to see mew again" Joel smiled happily staring at mew

"Okay but that's not even work related" gulf commented as he sat in between mew and Joel in the side of the table

"You better come boss's orders" Joel ignored gulf still smiling happily

"Really-"

"That's power harassment" gulf cut mew off interrupting Joel's and mews conversations again, yet Joel still ignored him

"Isn't it fine? Come on she's pretty right!" Joel asked and gulf scoffed closer to her copying her actions of resting her head on her hand

"That's not the problem" gulf spoke again

"Your so annoying" joe finally burst making gulf flinch and jump back a little

"Hey maybe your okay with being single the rest of your life but mew might want a life partner marriage kids" Joel commented now glaring at gulf

"Right mew" Joel asked shifting her glaring gaze from gulf and her gently one to mew smiling

"No that's not-"

"Shut up" she yelled still smiling at mew

"Well... I do want a partner" mew slowly glanced at gulf who facial expression dropped

"See" Joel cheered a bit that she was right

"But mew is..." gulf thought to himself but stopped once he remembered mews words

"I image the person I like" gulfs gaze looked down at his hands a blank facial expression was seen only mew noticed

"Creating opportunities like love is a boss's responsibility too" Joel said now looking at gulf with a proud look on her face

"You're just invading his personal life" gulf hissed

"Why? He might meet a cute girl because of me" Joel defended

"But-"

"It might even go well and you'd go home with her-"

"Either way.... I'm not letting him go" gulf slammed his hand on the table as he stood up aggressively his chair falling

"Hey hey hey why are you so heated" Joel chuckled a bit and gulf calmed down confused himself as he went and grabbed his chair which had fell

"Well..."

"Um, can I think about it and tell you my decision later, I have a meeting with our new sponsors" mew intertwined his hands together carefully

"What?" Joel whined a bit leaning in her seat defeated "okay the tell me later I'll be waiting... see you" she grabbed her iced latte and left the meeting room

~~~

Gulf sat on the bench looking around outside when a loud giggle was heard, turning he face he saw a boy handing a coffee cup to a woman as well as a donut bag

He watched as they began talking he was too far away to hear before the man sat beside her and she pulled her phone out, both held up there coffee taking a photo smiling and giggling together

"I'm back" mews voice cut gulfs gaze away from the couple and onto the floor before finally at mew

"Ah thank you" gulf bowed his head taking the bag from mew looking inside as mew sat beside him

"Eh did I ask for this" gulf lifted up the small energy drink

"No but you seemed a bit out of it today are you okay do you have a cold" mew lifted his hand about to put it on gulfs forehead but gulf moved back so mew stopped his hand in mid air

"No I'm fine" he said and mew stared at him before nodding in response "I see" he mumbled

"Oh right I checked regarding the meeting and it seems I have to attend,... so the mixer.-"

"All right" gulf cut mew off loudly standing up as he opened the energy drink gulping it down fast sighing once he finished, He then turned and glanced at mew who was already staring at him

"Let's go to tonight's mixer"

"But I said I had a meeting-"mew stood up trying not to raise his voice at gulf, he doesn't even think he could no matter how angry or frustrated he was

"I'll attend to we'll make it if we're quick" gulf gave a forced smile

"Do you want to go that bad" mew asked his voice low and gentle like almost as if he was disappointed

"Well, you might find someone nice" gulf said and mew sighed

"Fine" he grumbled not being able to hold in a pout as he flopped back down on the bench he pulled out his stress ball squeezing it as gulf looked away from him and down to the floor

His fake smile disappearing as he stared at the sidewalk just looking at the grey bumpy spots

Why was he uncomfortable with this sudden mixer for mew? He didn't understand it, it was like...

He didn't want mew to find a partner....
