Polar opposites trope go brrrr

Human healer x lizard who always manages to get hurt somehow

Considering how reclusive Link is, they’re not making the first move, no way. That would require them to actually admit to themselves that they harbor feelings.

Phoros seems more open to initiating to which Link is honestly going to be blind to, mainly because love isn’t something that the denzen has experience, let alone when it’s presented towards them.

Regardless amount of times Link will have to restrain their pleasant trilling around Phoros because this stubborn lizard is pining HARD, is insurmountable.

Phoros inviting Link wherever she goes, and of course the denzen has to come up with some excuse like “I guess I have no choice...” while also secretly enjoying the moment shared.

Phoros definitely has her fun teasing them, flirting even when the group is fighting off mercenaries. She might crack a few quips their way.

Probably not the best idea, considering Link might get flustered enough to get slashed in the arm, but being a healer, Phoros would gladly aid them back to proper health.

Queue the many other times these two are in their own little space while Phoros heals their wounds, Link will be grumbling under their breath: “I don’t need assistance. I always got along fine on my own.” 

Phoros giving them a little bonk on the head.

Pup playing matchmaker by hanging around Phoros a lot, allowing Link to awkwardly strike up conversations. Or maybe whenever one of them is having an off day and needs to be cheered up with some pleasant company

I sighed as I leaned against the jewelry store countertop. The glass below me was bright and shiny showcasing our jewelry pieces. It was a popular jewelry well known around the entire world. Making a necklace custom made for the one and only Kikyo from the Zoldyck family. As a worker here we do custom designs and by jewelry and sell what we buy. It was typical of having huge people come in and try to buy things. Normally we dealt with every customer the same giving them a designer or an employer to help them out.

" Hey Y/n how are you? " My coworker who was quite well known to be the best looking man of the building. Women who get their pieces normally call in to ask if he is working today. Which was a pain but he made our business sky rocket for women because back when this store started it was huge for only male customers due to having quite attractive women. I never fit in that class because for others I'm not as gorgeous as my female coworkers. " Y/n ! Are you in there? " I heard snapping and saw a hand snapping.

" Oh uh yeah sorry. Just kinda zoning out like normal. " I raised my hand up as I smiled sheepishly. " But to answer your question I'm tired. I just want to go home. " I answered. He nods and grabs a chair as he rolls it towards where I was leaning. He places his arms on the glass countertop and groans out loud.

" Tell me about it. I mean I love this job. As a seller the company lets us design our own piece of jewelry. But your an appraiser you are allowed by the company to own one thing sold to us. How cool is that, you also chose the very bracelet that many would die for, the stone of love. You know how much my girlfriend wants that. " I rolled my eyes at him complaining. Ever since I asked for this bracelet he has tried to buy it from me.

" You know Julius if you continue bothering Y/n with that begging of yours I won't hesitate to call security. " My other coworker she was the buyer bought all that she thought would bring us profit. I worked next to her normally but even if she was a kind person and pretty. She had her other side job that would sometimes cause a commotion. She was a prostitute but we never judged her ever for it. We all had side jobs. I mean I didn't this jewelry store was all that I had to keep a steady life on this little island.

" Oh come on! Y/n what about 8 million this time? " He asked and I shook my head once again. This bracelet was special to me it was as if it called me when I was appraising it. " Ugh one day I'll save up enough to buy it off of you. I know it! " He said as he raised his head placing his hands on the glass counter.

" We all know she won't sell it. So good luck with that. Anyway Y/n will you be closing today? " She asked. I nod at her question. " Great I'm leaving early for my other job. You'll be closing with Rosie and Juliet. Lucky for you, you won't be closing with Julius. " We all started to laugh as Julius looked at us all confused at the fact that we were making fun of him.

" You know what Penelope I might actually consider insulting you. " We both looked at him knowing what would happen if he did that. He looked down and rubbed the back of his nape. " Maybe not I think all of your clients would beat the shit out of me if they found out. " I rolled my eyes and chuckled as I pushed myself off of the countertop. As I grabbed a rag to clean the glass counter after all we put all of our fingertips on it. I grabbed the spray as I spray a bit of it in the rag.

" Let's all be honest. Don't mess with Penelope or it'll be bad news. " I giggled and I heard the city clock strike at 5. The bell continues five times to show the time. Penelope looks at our wall clock and sighs a bit. " Well I guess it's your turn to clock out don't forget we all have a day off due to the boss coming to collect the money that we've made. " I stated she nods and Julius nods as well. They get up and leave towards the back room to grab their things. We all wore a fancy Uniform to fit the aesthetic of our work place men wear black suit and tie or bow, sometimes if the island gets hot only the white button down with the accessory, while women wear a white blouse with a tie or a bow and a black skirt that reaches to any length. The skirt can be any style as long as it's black and matches your tie or bow.

I started to wipe the counter down with the rag trying to actually get all of our finger prints off of the glass countertop that possibly could ruin the look. While I wiped the countertop I heard Rosie and Juliet walk in with the broom and mop. They were in charge of cleaning and counting all the money and placing it in the safe. Those two were trusted with the code to the safe the rest of us weren't. I've worked for this business from the beginning and I wasn't allowed to know the code. Boss made it clear we had our jobs for a reason. There were around a total of ten workers and the ones here today are the ones I see the most due to our luck of getting a lot more money together.

" Well Y/n I'm off. Make sure to smile when you reach the end of your shift. " Julius stated and I chuckled lightly knowing that it was true near the end of my shift I tend to get tense as I get to go home and take care of my pet cat. " Also if you ever consider selling that bracelet you know who to call. " He raised his hand up as the shape of a phone and walked towards the door. He opened it as the sun shines on his messy hair, his untucked white button up and his untied tie. He held his coat over his shoulder and waved as he left. The rest of us waved. Penelope walks in the room shortly after Julius leaving as she started to apply lipstick again.

" Well I'm off as well. Rosie and Juliet good luck with cleaning. Y/n make sure to lock the backdoor boss hates when we forget. " I nod as her heals clicked on the slightly dull floor. Her white blouse was unbutton to see her cleavage as her pink bra strap could be seen and her skirt also showed a bit of her underwear as she walked. That was her style of dressing and we never minded she got us a lot of jewelry worth selling. She opened the door with one hand as her other held her purse that was expensive. She waved once more as she slips through the door walking away. We all sigh and start cleaning up the area so when closing comes in we can leave early.

" Y/n will we be cleaning the appraisal booth now or at 7 an hour before we leave? I'm just wondering. " Rosie asked. I slipped through the opening of our showcase and walked over to the appraisal booth. I slid open the curtains and saw how clean it was the table possibly needed a wiping, the floor a bit of sweeping, and perhaps vacuuming the cushions one more time. I back away closing the curtains and turn around to face the girls.

" Don't stress I'll clean the area at 6 hopefully that'll be dead hour for the rest of the of the night. " I stated the girls nod and they go to cleaning while I got back behind the show case. We had a showcase in the middle ones in the front and a couple in back for special customers. But for the older pieces it was our other building and people were told to call ahead when planning to buy older pieces.

Later

The clock struck six meaning that I had to clean the appraisal booth. The girls were sitting in the back talking as I stood there waiting for someone to arrive. Yet we had no one arrive meaning that we most likely weren't gonna get customers. Rarely do we ever get customers after 6 because people tend to go into town and have fun. This store is on a small island but due to popularity of our store, the town has hotels, casinos, a couple of scenery and landmarks, stores, and restaurants. Normally many of the citizens who call this island home have homes around this area entire place. We don't have highways but small roads and trails.

" Well girls come in. " I called they walked in smiling. " Uh just watch this if anything happen you know where the red button is. Press it, but understand you can do sales but buying and appraising is my job. I'll be cleaning the booth. Remember button equals security. " They nod as I grab all of my supplies a hand vacuum, rag and spray, and a broom. I head towards the booth even if it is more like a room instead of a booth. It went far in. I walked in as I shut the curtains and place the supplies down.

I head towards the table in the middle with a rag and spray. Once I was there I dropped down and started to clean. I took off the line cloth as I sprayed a bit of the cleaning spray in the rag. I wipe the table down with the rag that I brought over. We had to do cleaning alone we didn't really have janitor's in a way but we at least had security in the building next to us on the right. It was a security building as well with a place where people could hire body guards. Normally Penelope would hire some to keep her safe while she does her other job.

As I wiped I remembered that after work I had to get a working battery for my radio before going home and cat nip. I sighed rolling my eyes as I wiped the table firmly. It was decorative made of a dark red Cocobolo wood. With glass in the middle and a beautiful black table cloth line. Of course I took it off but it was made to be one of the finest in the world. Normally our pay is around 15 thousand jeni if don't make a lot of profit but if we do we make around an estimate of 40 thousand. Which is the minimal if we are honest. After cleaning I placed the cloth on top of the spray bottle.

" Well time to vacuum the cushions and then sweep the floor after that I'll be done with this booth and I won't be seeing it for about two days. " I stated. I loved this job as much as I love my cat which is a lot the environment, the money, it seemed as if I wouldn't be quiting in a long time. I sigh not really wanting to get up, so I crawl towards the hand vacuum. I wore a normal size skirt that reached my knees it was a more like a hoop skirt but it matched my personality so I wear it.

I crawl back to the seats that had cushions. I flipped the mini switch as the sound of a vacuum starts up. I place it on the cushion as the vacuum sucked up that was dirty. I sat down in this room about seven times today in total and I started work at around 9 in morning. I lifted the vacuum up as I place it at the crevice of where the two cushions meet. After a bit I turned the vacuum off and crawled back to where everything was left. I got up as I grabbed the broom I started to sweep as my ears picked up to the sound of Rosie and Juliet talking to people. I didn't mean to listen in to them but I was uncommon for them to do sales so I wanted to hear their techniques.

" Sir, uh C if you are looking for an appraisal to see if we will buy it we aren't the one's who do that we sell and normally we aren't really selling we are in charge of money. " I heard Juliet speak out. She seems to sound a bit nervous when talking. But I had to finish cleaning this area so I quickly sweep up this area as I catch it in the dust pan. I sweep up placing it all in the trash can of the dirt and dust that can be collected by the broom. I opened the curtains to see a group of four men and one female that looked quite strange.

One short one with a mask and black hair, another with blonde hair around with a colorful outfit and a big smile their height close to Julius, another with glass and the only female as she had a golden cross over her entire black shirt, another who is lanky and wore a purple traditional outfit and hair tied up tightly. The last one was in front of all of them. He had a green band over his forehead his hair kinda messy, with strange earrings, and wore a suit. I quickly made popped out with the supply in my hands. The girls looked at me happy it seemed they were nervous I was use to talking to sketchy people.

" Hello, " I spoke out as they looked at me. I walked over to the girls and placed the supply in the corner and turned around as I fixed my tie a bit and my skirt that collected a bit of dirt. " I'm the appraiser I heard you were looking for. " I gave them a bright smile as they all strangely looked at me. The one talking to the girls cleared his voice.

" Yes we were looking for one and heard this place was the best of the best. I have this necklace that we think is quite expensive and want to sell. " I nod and point towards my box that I used to appraise jewelry. Rosie shuffles quickly and gives me the box. It was quite pretty a weaved up basket that held my loupe, microscope, scale, and gloves. But under it there was a secret compartment that held a gun to protect myself. I held the basket as I turned to look at them. I knew there presence was bothering the girls so I wanted them to quickly leave so I had to do this quickly.

" Uh well girls remember while I work have Sandy on the phone if I run into a problem with appraisal like I can't tell what the gem is. Or things are indecisive. " I laughed as I gave them a huge smile. The girls nod knowing Sandy was a code word for security. Normally the way we phrase Sandy explains how we want the Security to react. One word Sandy meant press the button but in a sentence we explain how we want it to go instead of just the button. I turn to the rest. " Well follow me to the appraisal booth it's kinda like a small room but hey. " I walked towards the booth and opened the curtain as I let them in. They all sat down.

I turn around to face the store's biggest part and shut the curtains. I turn around and place my basket down as I pull my stool over to the table. We never sat in the comfortable seats due to it being for customers. I opened the basket as I raise my other arm up to fix my blouse sleeve raising them both all the way to be above my elbow. I slide my hands in the basket grabbing the gloves as I slide them on as they reach all the way to my mid forearm. I then grabbed my Loupe and mini scale out. I placed them onto the table and moved the basket out of the way.

" Well if you don't mind I would love to see what you brought over and if you have any history of the piece please due tell me it'll help a lot with this process. " I stated and the one with the big glasses place a box down on the table and opened it I saw a huge necklace. Everything seemed to be covered in diamonds a bit of rust that could be cleaned but as always this could be fake diamonds. There was also in the middle a mix of gold and silver weaved together to make a pretty cross.

" You may touch. " The man said. I nod and reach out towards the box as I pull it towards me. I grabbed my Loupe as I put it close to my eye I leaned towards the diamond on the chain part as I look at it. I smiled seeing how so far it was actually diamonds it weighed like real diamonds and gold. " We got this piece by let's say a friend. He told us he didn't need it due to him knowing he'll be having an untimely death. " I glanced up at the man and turned my head.

" He's dead you say? " I asked. I never liked these pieces. " He gave you permission to sell this or what's the story? Just you know if you are friends and they gave it to you would they enjoy you selling it? " I asked and I heard a groan. That was when a brightly voice started to speak.

" Oh yes in fact he wanted us to sell it. By this piece of paper. " The boy slid a paper with a signature of the person. I lowered the piece slowly as I picked the paper up to see that the person signed it admitting to wanting it sold. " He also told us his goal was an exchange instead of getting money. As pointed in this. " He pointed at where the person asked for the exchange. It stated what it wanted and I gulped seeing that it wanted to exchange to a piece that was not kept in this building or the other. I had it in fact I was given it to protect due to many wanting it. These two pieces if this is real would in fact be almost the same amount of money if traded.

" I see, so you would like to trade it for the crown of Sheba. I see. " I muttered that was when I noticed in the necklace there was a crucified Jesus. I blink a couple of times. This was a part of my religion my families belief and I'm near it. I sigh as I pick it up and looked at it. " Unfortunately there will be bad news after I do all of my check list. " I heard the one who seemed to be the leader of this small group hum. " Also I didn't catch any of your names. I prefer to have the one who stated he had this. " I said I could feel tension right after I said that.

" Chrollo is my name. " I then felt even intense tension. " Thank you for asking. " I nod as I place the Loupe down and gently picked up this piece and placed it on the scale. As I got the number I placed a note to it and continued to actually do all that I needed to do. After I bit I was able to do all that a normal Appraisal could do. But I wasn't so normal.

" Well you all are in luck so far everything seems pretty real and matches what you say. Do I have permission I use this thing called nen I use it to actually see what this real story is unfortunately I do have blind spots to this. People can use nen to make blind spots at jewelry so I can't 100% get the full story but I can get most of it. " Chrollo nods as I look at him. I then raise my hand up and a pen pops up and a notebook pops up in front of me. I place the pen on the paper as I pick the piece up with my other hand. I stared at it and saw the full story. I wrote it down all in just a minute after I was done I sighed and riped the paper out of the notebook.

" Here you go, your entire story matches. I guess. So normally this would cost a lot of money, about how many jewels there are, how many diamonds the gold mixed with it. But due to you wanting to have a trade or an exchange I unfortunately cannot do one today. The piece you're asking for is quite precious to us in fact we have it. The problem is I must ask my boss you're in luck though he will arrive tomorrow. Can I perhaps have one of your phone numbers I would prefer Mister Chrollo and I will call you when I have the information do you understand that you can keep the piece of jewelry and bring it to us when we ask for it for the exchange if it is approved or we can keep it in safe keepings in our other building while we wait for the approval. Once I get the information I will immediately tell you. Apologies to such information, but exchanges are a bit more work. " I stated they all looked at me as I placed the piece in its box.

" Okay. " They all looked at each other. Except for Chrollo who was the on accepting it. " But under one condition. " I nod agreeing to hear him out. " Instead of the piece being held by the company I would like you to hold the piece instead. " He stated I place my pen onto my lips as I tap it.

" I agree to those terms. I will return it here if it is not approved or if you would like to pick it up at my house but if it's at my house I do say only one person. I do not want a lot of people to know where I live. " I explain and he nods. Towards what I said.

" If it is not approved I'll like to pick it up at your house and we can talk about just selling it as a second choice there. " I nod and take my gloves off as I let my bracelet fall to bigger part of my forearm and stopping. I noticed one of them was eyeing my piece and it was the girl with glasses and the huge golden cross.

" That's the stone of love. " She stated and I nod. " I've heard of it. I've heard that whoever wears is the permanent owner till the die it is stated that the one who wears it can not give it to anyone or sell it. " I nod and chuckle lightly.

" It's just a silly story I can take it off and give it to people it is just that I have that we can pick one piece of jewelry if we are an appraisal normally sellers get to custom make and buyers just get a money bonus. " I quickly got up as I placed all of my things in the basket. I lend my handout for a shake and the blonde one slides a paper with a number on top of the piece box. Chrollo and I shake hands and I pick the piece up carefully. " I'll keep this safe it was nice talking with you all do come by again. " I leave with my basket.

That night they left and eventually in a couple of hours we ended up closing shop like normal. Nothing happened that was strange. I left the building went out to do my shopping that I needed to do buy my batteries and buy catnip. I got home safely after a really long walk unlocking the door. I spent the night with my cat after I took a shower and safely placed the piece under my bed that held a secret safe under the floorboards. The next day I called my boss about the situation and he asked me to go see him and let him see the piece he saw the piece and immediately approved of the exchange. He stated that he wanted to exchange to happen at my house though. So unfortunately I had to agree.
