Chapter 5 - -Phobia 5-

-Koshu POV-

....They all look hot!"

...What am I saying...they can all hear me, they are all so close to me. WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT.

...Gio and Risu look...better, dressed in their business suits and hair flowing down their back like waterfalls, only slicked back a bit at the front to prevent hairs from falling down in front at their face. Unlike the previous times, we have meet in which they have their hair pulled into a messy bun or a braid, they look much better like this. The other three behind them, I haven't seen them either, I've seen some of their friends but never these three... especially that stranger in a purple suit, he looks somewhat familiar or he looks...strange.

Everyone in the room looks shocked...WHY WOULDN'T THEY BE, I JUST EMBARRASSED MYSELF INFRONT OF IMPORTANT PEOPLE, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY PROBABLY MAKE IS MORE THAN WHAT I CAN EVER EVEN WISH FOR!!

Kaworu, "A-ah, that's quite the comment but your not wrong, I believe you flattered them enough, but how about we get on with their order, they are busy monsters after all."

Sachiel, "..."

I felt my ears get hot, but I complied with what Kaworu said. I was making their coffees and... the stranger in a purple suit, looks familiar and sounds familiar, a deep rich voice, calming yet at the same time it can spark fear. He is like the voice in my nightmare that toys with me as a scream...wait is the shadowy figure that chases me in my nightmare! How is that possible, could he be a demon and has been toying with me in my sleep! I need to find out his name.

What is his name!

When his order comes up I'll have to hear it and maybe I'll ask Sachiel later what is he.

I finished the Gio and Risu's coffee, their ears are red like mine. I won't pay to much attention to it. Gio finished telling me that these are their closest friends from work. Risu told me that the other three work in a much higher department than them but at one point they all worked together until Surith was raised into CEO after he achieved something, while Cleo and Leo are from a CEO family tree but they were placed as secretaries, those two are twins, Cleo is the oldest with the shortest hair that reaches his shoulders while Leo is the youngest and his hair reaches his back, they have dark black hair that goes well with their light red skin, their suite is a dark red and they don't have any horns. Or a tail either.

Wait...

The man in purple is the CEO of where they all work. What!

Surith is his name. The man dressed in purple with white long hair that falls down to his lower back with dark purple eyes with very slitted pupils...he can't be that figure, in its spider form, can monsters change their appearance completely?

, "Surith is a bit of a mouthful and it sounds like it's not from Japan."

Surith, "You are correct on that little dove, it isn't, much like you aren't from here either."

!!!

, "Excuse me for my rudeness, it's a pleasure to meet you." Introduce myself and do a greeting bow towards him and towards the twins, which startled them a bit.

The twins greet me back, but he...

Surith, "Oh? So you do speak somewhat fluent Japanese and English, I'm quite surprised a bit, but it shouldn't be so hard to pronounce my name in English than Japanese, so it shouldn't be so hard but after all, you can call me-"

, " How about 'Shu' it's not so bad of a nickname, it's one letter away from the sound 'chu' and it sounds cute..."

...

~Silence~

Everyone was trying to hold in their laughter while Shu looked...embarrassed?

Surith, "Wha-What did you just call me!? ...Are you mocking me!?"

Shu now looked visibly angry at me and was shaking while glaring at me... Can I run? Away from here? Can I do that or can I just dig a hole and hide in it until no one finds me, Can just do that?

, "...How about 'Yuu' it doesn't sound so bad either- I just dug my own grave didn't I?"

Surith suddenly grabbed me by my clothes and raised me to be leveled with his eyes...his eyes are completely black and he seems to have grown fangs, they don't seem like regular vampire fangs.

Surith, "Listen here little human, I can end you in an instant, do you think you can simply mock me in front of people who know me, well let me tell you, they know what I am, everyone here does, Except You. I will make you run back to where you came from trying to make fin of me, I will not accept this type of behavior-"

, "I'm sorry! I never meant to mock you, I just thought of a nickname for you I didn't mean anything to offend you, I'm really sorry!"

By now I'm crying and shaking violently I feel like I might faint. Then- Surith suddenly looks hurt, his eyes are back to normal and he's gently putting me down...Gio and Cleo were trying to control back Surith but failed. He lowers me down onto the ground but I seem to not be able to stand due to the shock of all this.

Surith, "I'm-I'm sorry. I thought you were trying to mock me, like the others." He spoke softly, afraid that if he were to raise his voice he would scare me.

, "It's fine...I'm not like the others, I really wasn't trying to mock you...I just thought that your name is a bit hard to say and I wanted to give you a nickname, I really wasn't trying to do anything wrong to you."

Everyone stood still, no one said anything, no one moved either, everyone just breathed-

*Ring*

Everyone became startled and fixed themselves frantically.

, "Hello, Welcome to Paul Bassett, what can we get you?" We said at the same time and maybe a bit too loud but it didn't seem to matter, it was the nice elderly fae that comes regularly at 8:30 am every day for a tea.

Leo, "Shoot, its 8:34, Surith-san, we are gonna be late for our meeting which starts a 9:00 am if we don't leave now."

Surith still looks genuinely hurt.

Cleo, "Oi Surith! We need to go to the meeting is important. You can make it up to them later but we need to leave for the meeting, you can come back later."

...

, " It's fine, We can meet later, but your meeting is more important, you don't need to be eaten by guilt, I'm fine really."

Surith, "I'll come back and make it up to you. Just wait for me, please."

Something about him saying please made my heart skip a beat.

, "I will." A gave him a soft smile, a genuine smile, he seems calmer now.

???, "Such a lovely couple."

Sachiel, "Pira-san that's a bold thing to say, well you might be right you are someone who can see genuine love between two people.

, "Wait a moment Pira-san, we are both strangers and we just meet-"

Gio, "WHAT"

Risu, "NO"

Cleo, "No way"

Leo, "Really..."

Kaworu, ".., Pira-san here is a fae that can see one's love and if she says so then it means its true, just wait a while and see, she's never wrong."

I feel really confused, I don't know what's happening anymore.

, "I'm gonna bury myself now."

Gio, "Wait no...this is a challenge Surith, even if you are a higher rank then me that doesn't mean I'll lose to you on this."

, " What are you fighting about! You have work to do and a meeting worry about that first!"

Surith comes closer to me and talks in a low voice that sends shivers down my spine.

Surith, "I'll meet you later at lunch, I want to talk to you more and apologize for this day and horrible first impre-"

Cleo, "Come on you overgrown bu-thing, we need to leave."

Cleo is grabbing Surith by his suite and drags him away, Surith manages to get a hold of himself and turns to tells everyone to follow. As everyone is leaving the door, Surith suddenly turns around and stares at me in where it startled me but he just...waves frantically at me, I wave back at him, giggling a bit at his sudden behavior.

Kaworu, "He's rarely like this."

Sachiel, "He rarely loses his temper and never tries to inflict fear to others."

Kaworu, "Or even show any type of emotion."

, "It can still be possible..."

Sachiel, "No, he's a businessman, known for being stoic or emotionless, it was said that he didn't even shed a tear for his mother after it was said to have passed away."

, "Still...a touch starved man can be hiding under all that...he just needs some love."
