September 20th, 7:45 (7:45 am)||
Aaaaahhhhhh spring, spring is popular for the blooming of flowers and the sweet smells. The weather is also the best mixture of both winter and summer which is why it is the season that's also connected to Love. Zen and Quetzal are both temporarily living together and unknown to both, this will be the best time for their feelings to be pollinated and reach its needed blossoming.
This morning and the many mornings to soon come will be difficult for both of them to get used to, especially their first night 'together'.
". . .where am I-?" Zen stared up at the ceiling questioning what even happened the day before because he couldn't recognize the comfortable bed he was in, the ceiling he was staring up at or even the covers he was using. It then finally clicked as all of last night flowed throughout his mind, he sat up and scratched his head getting out of bed. He looked out the window and peacefully smiled as he saw the beautiful leaves and all in different colors. "I should do something for her to really show how appreciative I am that she's actually helping me. Now that I think about it she never really told me what she was interested in and into." He then got undressed and took a shower while he thought about how interesting the day already is even though it just started, and while thinking about random important things and topics like how fish are animals and how comfortable the shower was an idea popped into his head on how he could show appreciation even though he didn't know much about her and her likes.
Zen then got fully dressed in a black dress shirt, slacks, and shoes as he left the room with a smile on his face. He headed to the kitchen with a bag of his favorite coffee. "Coffee is one of the biggest joys of adulthood, just because it gives us energy, tho personally it makes me more tired than anything so I don't actually drink it for energy. I drink it just simply because I love the taste of amazing coffee. Without it my peaceful life no matter in who's house wouldn't feel complete nor be complete...it would be a disaster."
As the coffee slowly dripped onto the chocolate bar on top of his coffee cup, he searched and took out a stainless steel pan and also some eggs and bacon he took with him when packing up |this was in Quetzal's the fridge|. He took a sip of his chocolate coffee and this fully energized him while he continued to cook breakfast for Quetzal.

While Zen continued cooking the smell of eggs and bacon aired throughout the house waking up Quetzal, though this was new for her because she never smelt something like this in the more, not since she was a teenager going to high school so she slowly sat up, stood and opened the door to her room. She stumbled sleepily to the kitchen as she yawned, seeing Zen putting down her plate on the wood table. Zen turns to her, blushing to see her in such a non professional manner. Her hazel blonde hair was messy, and she was in kitty cat pajamas but for Quetzal she was still half asleep so it didn't process to her at all what she looked like and in front of who and all she saw was perfectly made breakfast with a fancy mug of coffee. She stumbled to the table, sitting down and taking a warm sip of coffee, the chocolate taste and coffee warming and unusually taking away all the stress that normal sleep couldn't take away. Zen watched her, as the thoughts overflowed his mind. "So this is what she looks like in the morning, she's so.... pretty!!! Their bed head is well, everywhere, and that's so cute. I really hope she likes today's breakfast." He then made his own plate of bacon, eggs and waffles, sitting across from her quietly watching her eat. She then sleepily looked at him then smiling. "Thank you for breakfast, it was really good~." She then stumbled back to her room, closing the door and falling back asleep. Zen was fully red with the piece of waffle falling from his mouth "i-it's too early for this.."

When Quetzal finally woke up she did her natural routine of showering, getting dressed in her work attire and then finally leaving her room to get to work. The difference was big though because when she did leave her room she ran into Zen with a cookbook in his hands. Her eyes then widened realizing that what she experienced wasn't a dream, the delicious coffee, breakfast, and even the handsome man, this all came back as a big realization all because of the smell of coffee on Zen and the clothes he was wearing. She looked up at him, turning fully red. "S-so how was night?"
Zen the chuckled as he responded, slightly teasing her with the way she said it. "My night good, how about yours?" She then nodded as she quickly looked down thinking to herself. "When did he look like that!?!? I'm sure he didn't look like this yesterday...he's so handsome today, that shirt really shows his toned body and....get yourself together!!" She then took a deep breath and calmed down looking back up at him with a smile. "Are you ready today?" Zen looked at her confused. "Ready for what???"
She then gazed back in confusion. "We have the physical test in fulldive today??" He then looked at her filled with absolute shock, and she then giggled at how shocked he was. "You definitely forgot huh Zen."
He responded. "W-well, maybe I did, maybe I didn't, who knows heheh."
Quetzal's alarm then went off on her phone, then turning it off she looked at him with a smile. "Time to go." Zen nodded. "Yeah." As Quetzal drove, Zen as her passenger princess the entire way they didn't talk AT ALL. Not even a little, and for the both of them this was more than a bit weird mainly because they both felt the same extreme tension, but what Zen was feeling was entirely different. Zen was currently freaking out, and what was he freaking out about?
The FullDive Physical
||Explanation||
The FullDive Physical is an exam to check if all of their employees are physically fit enough to survive a Gate invasion aka a Gate Breaking. Gates are portals that lead to a separate world filled with fantasy and magic and ever since 50 years ago where the first Gate appeared everything about the world has changed including the rise and sudden emergence of players. People who have gained a System Status and have a fixed power of F to SSS class. They fight in both the fantasy world that suddenly appeared through gates and also keeping gates stable for future exploration. A lot of new societal development has happened due to these gates and is also the main reason for TSC and it's high-tech development.
||Explanation over||
Everytime this exam is held Zen would take last place because of how much he would suck in surviving massive destructive monsters and since he wasn't a player or had no talent in becoming one he just wanted to survive as long as he could in this physical in fulldive. Though for Quetzal it was the complete opposite, she was rumored in the entire department to be the next high ranking player when she officially awakens. She would take first place, even in front of players that were working in the same department. Simply put, Quetzal is a prodigy and Zen is an average guy with above average looks and mentality, that's all.
As they both officially reached the massive building of TSC they both walked together not to the department but to where the FullDive physical was going to happen and Quetzal continued to get increasingly worried for him each and every second they stayed quiet. "Is he okay...? He hasn't said anything since we were at my place, he also looks kinda pale." She then softly nudged him as she whispered to him while inside the elevator surrounded by people. "Is everything okay?" He then looked at her and nervously smiled and nodded, and from this she became increasingly more worried for him because to her it was obviously a lie.

As the time finally came for the physical examination in full dive they were all put in a massive room, every employee ranked to highest to lowest organized. Even though Zen was really worried he didn't want to fail this time, he clenched his fists and decided right then and there he wanted to not be last place at least. "I'll be...second to last, just not last place! So it's less embarrassing and I can sleep peacefully!" He was fully determined, getting into the pod and looking at the details of his body, the type of his blood, diseases and weight. All the statistics on his body was there for him to fully understand and analyze. He was somewhat proud of it, the hard work that he did with his colleagues led to technology like this so he couldn't help feeling proud. He then closed his eyes saying the words to begin the FullDive. "I want to Escape."
