>[A gentle and familiar voice came from outside the elevator]

“Please let me in… Don’t be alarmed…”

>[The voice added on. His voice was shaken and almost quiet. Whoever it was on the other side was obviously desperate to get out and there didn’t seem to be any other voices but his.]

@thedoppels [Formally known as antag-elehitch.]

"..."

>[Antag sits up when he hears the familiar voice. He looks at himself, and in a brief panic, pulls his sleeves down and closes his blazer. Hesitantly, he approaches the elevator door]

"...u-uh... Colleague? Is... is it you?"

"Isn't that a normal way to think about your partner?"

"Heh, I thought it was!"

you gotta refill it :D Yeah, I ain’t stopping you.

"You better not!"

>"What? That's what you're worried about?"

[He shifts closer, caressing his hair, ruffling it slightly.]

>"That's what happens when you're confident around others, people are just naturally attracted to that sort of thing.. Doesn't mean i don't like this whole thing."

>"Seriously, you worry too much. If i wasn't enjoying myself, i would've left the second i went out to smoke."

"Oh? Heh... yeah, I kind of expected you to leave at that point..."

>[He sits up a little and sighs, trying to ease the tension in his shoulders and chest.]

"I don't usually do this sort of thing. Guess I'm worrying too much. Being all in my head or whatever."

"Though I gotta say, your confidence doesn't always give off the right vibes you're going for buddy. Maybe all these hoes you're getting are masochists, but most people I know don't want an arrogant prick, heh heh."

>"How's the new house? Are you getting used to it?"

"AH-!!"

>[He yelps loudly, not expecting Coworker to be in the otherwise completely silent room. It's mostly empty here too, almost completely unchanged from how Coworker had had this guest room set up before, aside from Antag's bag still set on the bedside table.]

>[Even the covers on the bed haven't been moved, other than the creasing from Antag sleeping... on top of them.]

"Oh! It's uh.. cozy here."

>"Ah, well.. I usually have a very hard time reading people's intentions, so i genuinely thought you got weirdly flirty."

[He eats a slice of pie, covering his mouth as he points at Antag with a fork.]

>"This is on you too, though! You could've said no anytime, and yet here we are! We're like, completely out of place as salarymen in this place."

"Ohhh. Yeah no, I wasn't being serious, moron!"

>[He scoffs, but he's smiling and laughing]

"How am I supposed to say no to you?"

"I mean- it's free food and stuff... getting out and all that."
