mtxref_ficAuthor's Note: Written for "fic_promptly"'s Author's choice, author's choice, mission report
Tsuzuki found himself on the carpet in the office Tatsumi shared with Chief Konoe, standing across from Tatsumi's desk, with a pile of report forms spread out on the desktop.
Tatsumi pointed to each in turn as he spoke. "You wrote this one in magic marker... And you wrote this one with crayon. This one has chocolate frosting smeared on it.... You got vanilla cream on this... This one was illegible due to rings from a tea cup on it."
"I tried to be neat about it, but stuff happens, and I was having lunch when I was finishing the reports," Tsuzuki argued.
"I appreciate the effort you put into getting the mission reports from the last few weeks filled out and filed in a timely manner," Tatsumi said, adjusting his glasses. "But you have to be more careful about keeping the reports neat and tidy."
"Whaaat?! Tatsumi, you're too demanding! The way I busted my ass getting those forms filled out on time, and you treat me like this?" Tsuzuki wailed, beginning to flail. "I should hand in my resignation right now, but that would just make you happy to be rid of me."
Tatsumi came around the end of the desk; Tsuzuki quailed back, but the secretary reach out to him and put a gently hand on his shoulder. "There's no need to get that upset. I do appreciate the trouble you went to, in order to finish them," Tatsumi said, reassuringly.
Tsuzuki looked up into his face. "Do you mean it?"
"I do mean it. You can do good, I just want you to do better and to continue doing better," he said, his sapphire blue eyes looking into Tsuzuki's violet eyes.
"I'll do what I can," Tsuzuki promised. "Maybe Hisoka can help me."
"There's always next time," Tatsumi said. "And you have a few reports to be filled out already."
Tsuzuki thwapped the hand off. "What?! Don't remind me! We were having such a nice moment, and you had to remind me of work!"
"I'm only helping you to keep focused on your work," Tatsumi said, matter of factly.
"You're a little too much help!" Tsuzuki snapped.
