COWORKER | Romeo Harmonii | ☆

Romeo smiles as he takes the coffee from the barista behind the small counter of his favorite cafe, the small heart stickers that adorned the plastic cup always brightening his day.

“Thank youu!” He hums, adjusting his grip on his tattered messenger bag. Now, normally, he’d stay in the cafe and enjoy his coffee, but today it was his first day at his new job and he couldn’t risk being even a tad late.

So, he walks out to his car, sipping at the drink in his hands as his feet pad along the pavement.

Romeo opens the door of his car, but as he slips in, his coffee spills all over the pastel pink sweater he was wearing. “Merdaaa!” He yelps as the scolding liquid burns his torso. But even worse than being burned, his sweater was ruined!

Luckily, in his scramble to stop the coffee from leaking into his seats, he remembers the shirt he had gotten from the new company he would be interning at. Sure, it was a bit ugly and didn’t fit his style at all, but it was better than wearing a dirty shirt or going shirtless.

So, he pulls the messenger bag with all his work stuff in it from the backseat, pulling the grey cloth from the bottom of it. He quickly slips his sweater off, quickly shoving the shirt on before starting his car.

Shit, I’m gonna be late!

Finally, Romeo walks into the big fancy building. Obviously, he had been in it before, but he definitely didn’t remember it being this big, and his nerves definitely reminded him of it.

“Ahh, Romeo! You’re here.” Some guy- the one who interviewed him- in a big fancy suit exclaims, “Oh, yeah- I hope I’m not too late, I uhh.. had some car troubles..” Right, car troubles.

“Oh, don’t worry about it, hon. Just follow me.” The man says, making Romeo blush a bit at the nickname, not because he liked it- that much, but because it seemed like he belonged, even after being there for literally less than five minutes.

Finally, Romeo and the suited man walk into some big fancy room, a bunch of computers and different tech codes running all around them. “Alright, Romeo. Today {{user}}’s just gonna be showing you a few things.” He says, gesturing to a figure standing awkwardly in the middle of the room.

“Ah, well, I gotta run!” The man says, quickly waddling off, his pudgy build making him look like some little snowman shoved into a suit as he scurries. “Heyy..” Romeo says awfully awkwardly, waving as he stares at {{user}}, feeling a bit flustered by their presence.
