The chubby woman was the manager of Building 46 assigned by the Home Affairs Department. Every Friday, she was in charge of making sure all the residents of Building 46 had thrown their trash in the dumpster in front of the building, and she also made sure the dump truck came on time to pick up the trash. That was why she could suddenly appear when Luca was being scolded by Finn.
The woman didn't seem to take "no" for an answer, which was why she didn't wait for any answer and immediately turned her body, walking away with her hands on her hips.
Both Luca and Finn followed the woman's movements with their eyes until she was no longer visible after entering the building. Finn then turned to Luca, and he imitated the woman by putting his hands on his hips while glaring at the shorter man.
"You should be the one cleaning up this mess, Wolfie! You're the one who threw the trash at me! I'm the victim here, and I will just wait until you finish cleaning the mess!" Finn made it clear who was at fault, and he even narrowed his eyes at the shorter man.
Unfortunately, his opponent wasn't an easy one, and that was why he received an argument from Luca, "I wouldn't have thrown the trash at you if you hadn't suddenly and mysteriously appeared behind me! It looked like you were going to strangle me from behind, and I threw the trash at you in self-defense!"
"You think I'm going to kill you? Do you think I'm a zombie or something? Do you think zombies can easily infiltrate the fortress and suddenly appear behind you on a sunny day like this?"
"That's not impossible! Zombies might even sneak into your bed at night and suddenly sink their teeth into your neck! You'll instantly become their late-night snack!"
"You beat it, Wolfie! Something like that won't happen if you have a boyfriend staying next to you in bed!"
The two men were even panting from the argument, even their chests were moving up and down. The veins on their necks were also clearly visible as they kept shouting at each other. It was only a short argument, but they looked exhausted, and only their eyes continued attacking each other.
However, Luca suddenly let out a heavy sigh before turning his gaze away from the taller man, directing his gaze to the dirty ground around him. "Help me clean up this mess first, and I'll be responsible for you later," he said, starting to crouch on the ground before using his hands to collect the trash on the ground.
"How are you going to be responsible for me? Are you going to bathe me and clean my body so I will be able to get rid of this stench? You can probably guess that I can't go deliver lunch to my customers if I'm like this, right? No one will accept the lunch, and I'll have to carry all the lunch boxes back to the department building! I might get fired!"
Finn suddenly looked like a kid who couldn't stop whining, and Luca glanced at him lazily, stopping his activities on the ground. "If you still want to work in the Food Supply Department, you better shut up and start helping me out here," he said flatly.
Finn still seemed unhappy with the order, but he chose to give in as he began to crouch down in front of the black-haired man. Luckily, the trash bags hadn't been damaged when Luca had thrown them to Finn, and that was why the two of them were able to use them to pack up the trash once more.
Luca assumed that every piece of trash had been picked up from the ground, and he stood up before looking around to make sure there was no trash left around him. His eyes no longer found any trash on the ground, and he then realized that Finn had also gotten up from his crouching position.
Finn was holding another trash bag, and he silently handed it to Luca. Luca didn't say anything as he accepted the bag, then turned around before throwing the trash into the dumpster once more.
Luca calmly clapped his hands to clear the dirt on his hands before facing the taller man once more. "Follow me," he said.
Without waiting for Finn's response, he walked towards the entrance of the building, but he could feel that the man was silently following him.
"I wasn't trying to harm you earlier."
The silence between them was broken by Finn's voice as they were both about to reach the stairs inside the building. Luca stopped walking before reaching the stairs, but he didn't turn around.
Finn also stopped walking, and he continued speaking, "I was going to deliver lunch to the residents of the building today, but then I saw you near the dumpster earlier. I decided to say hi to you, and that's why I suddenly appeared behind you."
Luca lazily turned around before asking the blonde man, "If you just wanted to say hi to me, then you could have done it normally, right? Why did you have to be so sneaky behind me like that?"
"It's because I wanted to surprise you!" Finn answered immediately, grinning widely at the black-haired man. "Don't you know that's what friends usually do when they meet?"
Luca furrowed his brows before replying to the blonde man, "That's how friends usually do to each other, but we're not friends, right?"
Suddenly, Finn acted as if he was disappointed and hurt, but then he replied, "So, you don't think of me as your friend?" He looked sad, but then his eyes suddenly lit up, and his lips even stretched wide before he continued, "But maybe you don't think of me as a friend because I'm your boyfie, right? Oh... My Wolfie must love me very much! I feel touched!"
"..." Luca really wanted to throw Finn into the dumpster.
