words: 1k
a/n: to the requester, I'm sorry if this wasn't exactly what you wanted but I still like the result and I hope you do too
You slammed your headset against your desk, causing your keyboard to clatter and your mouse to fall down onto the floor, but you didn’t care about any of that.
“I’m going on my break now.” You announced angrily, then took off down the hall.
You stormed past Mouser on the way, who had no idea about the precursor to your current meltdown.
“What the hell’s up with her?” He asked as he sat down and rolled the chair closer to his desk.
Keys was already standing up to follow you and answer that very question. “I’m not sure. I’ll be back in a minute.”
He followed you across the floor to the snack room, where you were attempting to calm yourself down by making a cup of tea. The door was still swinging behind you, but he closed it more gently once he came in.
“What was that? What’s going on?” Keys asked you.
“I should be asking you that.” You retorted.
He just looked at you with a puzzled face, his stupid confused face. “What are you talking about? What did I do?”
“You made me look like an idiot back there! I was trying to get that guy and you were just completely overtaking the operation!”
“We got him, so what does it matter if we used my strategy or yours?”
“Because you think I’m stupid. Is it so unreasonable to be upset that my best friend thinks I’m incompetent?”
He just looked even more confused than before now. “I could never think that about you.”
Your water had finished boiling, so you poured the water into your mug. “Well, you ignored everything I said so you could go and kill him by yourself. We should have been working together.”
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “Look, I’ve had to deal with this asshole before, I’m so tired of having to go after the same guy over and over. I’ve learned how to handle him, so I know how to go about things in the most efficient way. I’m sorry I took over the operation, I promise I won’t do it again.”
You emptied out a sugar packet into your drink, still mad at him but less so than a few minutes ago. You sighed as you threw out the paper package.
“You can start making it up to me by volunteering to file the paperwork for banning him from Free City.”
He seemed relieved with your proposition. “Yeah, absolutely! Will do.”
“Good.” You moved past him and opened the door to leave, steadily carrying your hot beverage. “And I’m on break right now but you’re not, so you better get on that.”

You hadn’t spoken to Keys since your argument in the snack room. It’s hard enough to completely ignore him on a day when you’re not at work, but it was so much worse when he was sitting right across from you.
You got a confirmation notification on your computer screen about the ban paperwork that Keys had apparently just filed. Not even three seconds after you both received the message, your coworker had already stood up so he could speak over the glass partition between you two.
“Did you see I wrote up the slip to get him banned?” He asked you urgently.
You answered without even looking at him. “Yep, thanks for that.”
He didn’t sit back down. Keys just kept looking at you like he was waiting for something.
“Do you want a pat on the back or something, Keys?”
“Do you forgive me now?”
You sighed and finally looked at him beyond just seeing him out of your peripheral vision. “I said I’d think about forgiving you. I’m still a bit pissed at you.”
He slumped back into his chair, then went back to his computer. A few seconds later, you got another push notification.
Curious, as it had Keys’ name attached, you clicked on the little pop-up. It opened 2 messages from the man. The first was him apologising once more, and the second was a colon and closed bracket forming a little smiley face.
Even though you weren’t all that mad at him, you still didn’t react to the small yet altogether cute gesture. You thought it would be fun to see what else he does to get you to forgive him.
One more message floats up onto your screen. “Is it working?”
You typed a message in reply. “Sort of. Keep going.”
✦✧✦✧✦
Throughout the day, Keys had dropped off several snacks on your desk, stuck up multiple post-it notes adorned with fun doodles on the glass partition between you, and sent you many more sweet messages.
If you were being honest, you had forgiven him after the second gesture. If Keys was being honest, he had figured that out about an hour ago. But now it was the end of your work day, and Keys just had to make sure you two were okay.
You were finishing up your last few emails of the day, and Keys had walked over to your side of the desk clump.
“Okay, I know you’re busy, but I really don’t want us to end the day on bad terms. Have you forgiven me yet?” He asked desperately.
“That depends.” You told him, a soft smirk gracing your face. “Do you have one more offer or did you just come here to beg on your knees?”
He wasn’t on his knees beside your chair with his hands clasped together, so that kind of gave you the answer, but he answered anyway.
“Will you forgive me if I buy you dinner? There’s that new Italian place down the street; we can go tonight and I’ll pay, even if it’s crazy expensive.”
You tried holding back the giddy smile you felt coming on because of his offer, but you were sure that the expression was peeking through your facade.
“That kind of sounds like a date.” You played innocent. “Keys, are you asking me out?”
“That depends. Have you forgiven me yet?”
“Not quite sure, I think you’ll have to take me out, and I’ll let you know soon.”

You focused outside the window, seeing the city lights glow. Keys and Millie had been hanging out a lot. You and Keys are in a relationship but it feels like Keys is slipping away from You to the arms of Millie. You were just laying in your shared bed, scrolling through your phone. 'Wow it seems like Millie and Keys are having a good time' You thought as you scrolled through Millie's Instagram. You got out of bed and looked in the mirror. ' Wow i look real fucked up' You thought. You went to the closet and grabbed a Hoodie. You walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. 'Not Hungry Anymore' You thought as you closed the fridge and walked away. You walked back to your room and closed the door. You laid back down and looked at the ceiling. It felt like hours but it had only been a few minutes until you heard the front door open and close. "Y/N im home!" Keys yelled like he was excited or something. 'No Baby, No Honey, No Darling? What did i do?' You thought because Keys always called you Baby, Darling,Love, etc. Keys ran into the room and straight into the closet. "Hey Baby, Could we hangout tonight, like just the two of us?" I asked. "Sorry Love but Millie and Mouser invited me to a party and i really want to go" He said as he put on his shoes. "Bye Darling, ill see you later!" Keys spoke and he ran to the front door and closed it. This has been going on for a few days until Keys noticed that you have been getting paler and paler everyday. One day, Keys went to work and came back late at night. "Honey?" Keys yelled as he walked in the door. He put his stuff down and walked to your shared room. When he reached the door, He heard a loud sob. Keys opened the door and he saw you sobbing. "Darling?" He kneeled down next to you. He looked at your phone and saw what made you Sob. Him and Millie Kissing... "Oh Baby look at me" He whispered. You shook your head. "Is she just a friend?" You whispered. "Yes Baby, Millie is just a friend to me because I love you so much, Y/N." "B-But-" "Y/N i love you so much that i get so happy when i wake up everyday just to see your face" He said. He wiped your tears with his thumb and gave you a soft kiss on your lips. "I love you so much that i designed a NPC for you in Free City" He mumbled. You nuzzled your face in his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat to calm you down. "I love you Keys." "And i love you Y/N" He whispered as he kissed your forehead.
