#retsukohaida

So if you've been following my blog recently you probably already know that I've become a big agressive retsuko fan, and Retsuko and Haida are like my OTP now. anyway, I wanted to get back in the saddle and get writing again, so here you go, enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“What was that blue truck I saw here when I left last night?” Haida asked as himself, Retsuko, and Fenneko walked towards the office. 

“The CEO wanted to spruce up the lobby” Fenneko said, scrolling through her phone as they reached the office building “so he had these large freestanding glass panels installed to make the lobby look more modern” 

The trio entered the building, with Haida holding the door for his companions. Haida began to speak his thoughts on this building upgrade. “I would have opted for- *BANG* OW!” 

The hyena dropped his bag and his hands darted to his nose, which was gushing blood. 

“Ah! Haida!” Retsuko said, quickly digging into her purse for a tissue.

“Looks like you walked nose-first into one of the new glass panels” Fenneko said, reaching out into what appeared to be open space in front of her. But her paw flattened out as it hit something. Retsuko found a tissue and managed to pry Haida’s hands away from his nose so she could put the tissue where it would soak up blood. 

“I gotta say, these glass panels are very clean” Fenneko said, admiring the glass panel, which looked like just plain air. Her eyes noticed a small spot of blood left by Haida. “Well, not so clean anymore”

“Oh my god! Haida, are you ok?” Washimi said as her and Gori came over, breaking their ‘baddest bitch in the room’ walk. 

“Yeah I’m fine” the hyena said, pressing the tissue against his nose. 

“He hit the glass” Fenneko explained, knocking on the glass panel to let Washimi and Gori know it existed. 

“I didn’t even see that” Gori said. 

“These damn panels” Washimi said, shaking her head. “When I first heard that the CEO was planning to have these installed, I knew something like this would happen. These panels don’t even serve a purpose, I don’t know what made him think this was a good idea.” 

Fenneko grabbed Haida’s bag for him, while Retsuko used another tissue to wipe some blood that fell on Haida’s tie and jacket. 

“I would speak to the CEO about this if I were you” Gori said to Washimi. “You can bet I will, these panels shouldn’t be here if people are walking into them on the day after they are installed”

Another officer worker banged into the panel a few feet away, and looked around confused as to what he hit. Luckily he had his phone and arm out in front of him, so he wasn’t hurt like Haida was. 

“Case in point...” Washimi said as Fenneko, Haida and Retsuko headed towards the elevators.

After reaching the accounting department, Retsuko sat Haida down on a chair in the tea room, and stood at the ready with some more paper towels. Haida blushed as Retsuko cared for him by stuffing paper towels into his nose, and asking him how he felt. The hyena was pretty sure her tender touch and care was helping him heal faster. Retsuko noticed Haida’s face getting red with blush. 

“You look red, do you have a fever?” The red panda asked, putting her paw on his forehead, making the hyena blush even more. “No, you don’t feel hot, but you just got even redder” 

“What happened to you?” A voice asked. 

The pair looked up to see Mr.Ton walking into the room to get himself a cup of coffee. 

“He walked into one of those panels in the lobby” Retsuko said, pulling another paper towel off the roll. 

“Oh, those stupid panels cost more money than they should have” Mr. Ton said. “Well, don’t forget we still have work to do” 

The pig made his coffee and left the room, after which Haida started to stand up. 

“Well, you heard him, we better get to work”

“What?” Retsuko said “your nose is still bleeding. You can’t work, you’ll bleed all over your computer and the papers” 

“Well I can’t just sit here all day” 

“I’ll cover for you” Retsuko said, handing the roll of paper towels to Haida. 

“But you always have so much work to do, there’s no way you could cover for me as well” 

“Don’t worry, I can handle it. I’m always overworked, it’s just now I have a reason to work hard. To cover for my favorite person in the office” 

Haida’s heart went aflutter at those words as Retsuko left the tea room to get going on her work. 

“That poor girl” Haida thought “she’s willing to work herself to death for me” 

The hyena knew he couldn’t let Retsuko do this, he cared too much for her.

“Excuse me, sir” Washimi said, stepping into the CEO’s office. 

“Hmm?” The elephant said, looking up from the laptop on his desk.

“I was walking into work this morning and I noticed a member of the accounting department smash his face on one of the glass panels you had installed, making his nose bleed”

“Oh, that’s unfortunate. Well I guess people are going to have to get used to having those panels there. I mean it is a change, but we’ve changed things in the office before” 

The CEO stated at his laptop screen for a few seconds before Washimi’s foot came down and smashed the device. 

“My laptop!” The CEO said in horror as he watched the D key fly across the desk.

“Something must be done” Washimi said “today I’ve seen 2 employees of this company run into those panels, with one injuring himself as a result. He could sue us for injuries, or he could quit if he thinks this company is not a safe working environment” 

The CEO stated at Washimi as she continued her tirade. 

“Other employees could run into those glass panels and injure themselves, allowing them to sue as well. We could be looking at losses of millions of dollars here. Not only that but those panels could break if someone runs into them, which could further injure someone. If you want this company to maintain a healthy economic base and good relations with the public, those glass panels must be removed” 

“Oh my god!” The CEO said, terrible thoughts of money losses going through his head “call that glass company back! Get those panels out of here!”

“As you wish” Washimi said, exiting the office. 000

Retsuko was working hard, trying to get through her and Haida’s combined work. Piles of paperwork littered her desk as she typed away on her keyboard as fast as she could. A text from Washimi came up on her phone, and the red panda quickly glanced over to see what it said.

 “Hey, I just got the CEO to agree to remove those panels. Tell your boyfriend he doesn’t need to worry about them anymore” 

Retsuko blushed as she read the “boyfriend” line. Was it that obvious her and Haida liked each other? The red panda was distracted from her thoughts by someone taking away one of the piles of paperwork. 

Retsuko looked up to see that Haida, with 2 paper towels in his nostrils, was the one removing the stack of paper. 

“Haida? What are you doing? You should rest and make sure your nose stops bleeding” 

“I can’t let you do all this work yourself” the hyena said, grabbing some more papers. “I care to much too let you work yourself to death like this”

It warmed retsuko’s heart to know that Haida was doing this for her. Maybe it was obvious they cared for each other. For the rest of the day, she was happy as she worked.

“You feeling better Haida?” Fenneko asked, as her, Haida, and Retsuko walked out of the office building, heading home for the night, with another hard day’s work completed. 

“Yep, my nose has stopped bleeding. Thanks to Retsuko caring for me no doubt”

“Awww” Retsuko said, blushing as the trio passed some glassworkers removing the panels Haida had ran into earlier. 

One of the workers noticed something on one of the panels and inquired to his coworker about it. 

“Is that blood?”
