The sun hit your closed eyelids.
You grunted as the light continued to irritate your eyes. Your hand came up to your forehead to rub it. Trying to soothe the pain.
You had another day of work to get to. Luckily, waking up wasn't too bad. Once you remembered what you had to do today it made a smile creep on your face.
Not necessarily what, but more like who.
A loving sigh escaped your lips as you rose from your mattress.
"Steven.."
You smiled as your eyelids lifted. You saw the sun, once again, making sun rays through your window.
It was a wonderful sight as you read your alarm.
6:00...
"Much better.."
You mumbled as you reached for your phone. You checked one of your list apps to see what you had planned for today. You wrote down what you needed to bring, some goals, and some exciting books to get to.
Especially your Egyptian books. Those are what interested you most.
Steven had appeared back into your mind. You tried to shake the thoughts away but somehow they didn't.
Then a look of shock came from your face.
'He doesn't even know my name'
Your hand softly touched your lips as you thought about this. You sighed, your heart felt broken but you knew it wasn't. What was happening to you?
This feeling. You didn't understand it.
You pushed yourself off your bed and made a plan. 'Don't get attached'
You gathered all your essentials and made it out the door with some time to waste. You thought it would be best to grab a coffee. You greeted your neighbors as you walked down your street. It was a calm morning with birds chirping, and the sun shining onto your soft skin.
You felt cool. It wasn't too hot nor too cold. Just cool.
A calm smile was set on your face. You rested at your bus stop sipping your coffee, excited to see a familiar face at the museum.
. . . . . . . . 𓆩❤︎𓆪 . . . . . . . .
Finally, the bus had made it to your stop. You had finished your warm beverage and threw it out. As you got on, you noticed how packed it was.
'This isn't going to be a fun ride, is it?'
An unamused sigh exited your lips as you squeezed past people to make it to the back of the bus.
You were suddenly pressed up against another man. Your hands couldn't be placed on your sides so you were forced to rest your hands on the poor man's chest.
You were too embarrassed to look up to the victim who was now in your grasp.
"I-I know you"
The man huffed. You darted towards the voice to see someone familiar.
Steven.
The bus suddenly swerved to the left, causing Steven to push you up against the wall of the bus. Your body tensed up as you tried to keep balance.
Steven's arm was right above your shoulder. Hopefully, this didn't spiral into a mess.
The curly-haired boy looked down at you and looked incredibly embarrassed. He tried to move his arm away, but the bus was moving in a way that if he did remove it, he would smother you with his chest.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry about this uh"
He seemed to try and call you something. Your brain remembered the fact he never got your name.
"Y/n"
You huffed out trying to find somewhere else to look besides his beautiful hazel eyes.
"Y-yes, Y/n, I'm terribly sorry"
You instantly reassured him. He accepted the reassurance but you could tell that he somehow didn't fully attain it.
His eyes seemed to be glued to you. When you noticed his glare he would turn towards the window. Then after a couple of seconds, he would turn right back to you.
You chose to accept this game that he didn't know he was playing. You scanned Steven's face and noticed that his eyes had dark circles under them.
You stared harder to make sure they weren't bruises. 'Has he not been sleeping?'
This situation with you being trapped by Steven made an electrifying feeling occur below your lower abdomen. This was definitely gonna be an interesting bus ride.
. . . . . . . . 𓆩❤︎𓆪 . . . . . . . .
You stumbled out of the bus. Steven jolted towards you trying to catch you. He seemed to be ready for your fall but you caught yourself just in time.
Steven still went to grab your arm, since he didn't notice you caught yourself.
Your face flushed from seeing how much he cared about your well-being. Sure, the bus ride was a tease, but this was something else.
'Why are you doing this to me universe'
You and Steven were right outside the Museum. Yet, you both were stuck. Stuck on the fact Steven hadn't let go of your arm.
If you asked him to let go, you would miss the warmth. If you didn't, then Donna would eventually find you two. Her most unloyal employees.
"Ste-"
"Yeah, sorry"
Steven let go and stormed into the Museum. 'That...was....interesting'
You followed after him. Once you entered, you saw that Steven was already by the counter. This was unusual behavior coming from him.
You felt like you knew that he would apologize sincerely and make you feel like he did an act of crime. But this, this was not normal.
Sure, you've only met him for a day, but it seemed like you knew him for years. His hair was swept back from his forehead, and you noticed that his accent had disappeared.
He sounded like a proud American. 'Weird'
You shook it off, you didn't wanna make a scene and ask all these weird questions towards a man that you just met.
You walked into the Gift Shop. You saw that there were only a couple of customers inside. You set your stuff down and took a deep breath in.
'Let's get this over with'
You turned towards the cash register. Your eyes instantly fell onto Steven, who was reorganizing some stuff on the shelves.
His posture seemed different. It was almost like he was more formal and not so flimsy. Your eyes were so fixated on the young man that you didn't notice a customer come up to you.
"Excuse me? Helloooo?"
You heard the man but you didn't turn your attention towards him. You were just too focused on Steven.
"Hey!"
The man then slammed his hand on the counter. You shook and looked at him with wide eyes.
"Deepest apologies sir"
"Yeah yeah whatever, scan this"
The man shoved something into your hand. You didn't care to know so you just scanned and rang him up.
"$5.00 please"
You heard a scoff as he handed you the money. You bit your lip in anger as you gave him his change and receipt.
"Have a nice day!"
You said sarcastically. The man rolled his eyes and exited the facility which left you to admire someone.
But, when you looked back, Steven was nowhere to be seen. You looked down at your hands disappointed. Your arms rested on the cold countertop.
'This job just doesn't get any easier'
You started to lean forward on the counter and began to lay on your hand, which was holding up your head. You swayed your rear end side to side as you stood there with nothing to do. No sight of Steven and absolutely no customers.
You sighed as your eyelids began to fall. You weren't tired but the feeling of boredom made you, well, bored.
Your waist stuck out more as you finally lay your head on the counter. This wasn't comfortable at all.
You thought about sleeping on the floor, which made you laugh a bit.
"O-oh Y/n?"
You rose from your position and turned around to find Steven right behind you.
Your heart began to beat out of your chest. You started to get sweaty and you felt like you were having a panic attack.
"How long were you there for?!"
You pushed out. You noticed that Steven's eyes were fixated on your figure. It made you feel nervous and yet it also made that stimulating feeling come back.
"A couple of minutes I would say"
Your eyes widened and you gulped intensely at the fact that you remembered swaying your behind not too long ago.
You noticed that Steven was slowly growing a smirk on his face.
'This isn't how Steven would act at all!'
You tried to smile but you thought about how Steven's personality changed.
Steven's legs began to shuffle towards you. Almost hesitantly. You turned your head towards the shop to see if anyone was there to interrupt whatever this was.
No one, absolutely no one was in sight. You darted your eyes towards The curly-haired boy. He had his eyes set on your frame.
Steven had stopped right in front of you. You began to slow down your breathing.
The male then reached for something in his pocket. Your breath hitched, 'What was he grabbing?! Is this where I die!?'
Your eyes shut, waiting for the worst.
"Here"
Steven spoke softly. You reluctantly opened your eyes to find a name tag in the boy's hands.
"You alright?"
He said with a scoff. You smiled sheepishly as you swept the tag away from him.
"Quite amazing actually"
You gave him a thumbs up with one of your hands as you clipped the label onto your shirt with the other.
He rolled his eyes playfully and chuckled as he began to walk back to one of the shelves.
"Jesus.."
You huffed out trying to catch your breath.
Once you finally settled. A customer rang up. You put on a smile and got back to work.
'What a turn of events'

↪ Warnings: Fluff, Stuttering (Sorry), Not the best of Writing, Oscar Isaac
↪ Summary: Your first day on the job. Seems simple enough right? Well, that simplicity changes when you meet your new boss and new coworker. Simple....right?
A/N : I'm so sorry for this. The stuttering does get out of hand tbh- I hope this isn't too cheesy. This is from my Wattpad. It's sure going to look childish. Yeah, just read it. What could go wrong?
Cheerio!
Words: 1k :)
It was a day like no other.
You had work today at the Museum. You had just gotten a job there and didn't want to go. Sure, it was to pay off rent, and yeah, you thought it would be fun.
But, waking up at 6 am just to sell things that didn't associate with Egyptians seemed foolish.
You lifted yourself off your very comfortable bed. It was the most relaxed you've been in a while. You had such a groggy feeling as you lazily opened your eyelids. Your eyes gave a second to adjust.
The sun shined through your curtains. You stretched your arms and yawned as you set your eyes on your alarm clock.
6:55...
That's what it read. right? You squinted your eyes so that you could make sure you were reading it correctly.
"Oh, bloody hell.."
You huffed as you quickly got up to grab your clothes from your dresser. Two words repeated in your head as you tried to rush your way out of the apartment. 'I'm Late. I'm Late. I'm Late!'
You eventually did make it out the door but, dang, you didn't have your keys.
You rolled your eyes as you barged back into your apartment to find your keys. Didn't take you long, but it could've been quicker to find them.
You stormed out the door, locking it swiftly. You would be delighted to just look decent since you didn't get a chance to even look at yourself in the mirror.
Just what you need to start your new day at work.
. . . . . . . . 𓆩❤︎𓆪 . . . . . . . .
You had eventually set foot into the museum. Sadly, you were looking for the gift shop. Your field of vision was a bit lazy as you tried your hardest to look around without looking like a twat.
Your search was stopped when someone tapped your shoulder.
Your body jolted towards the tap. Your eyes had moved first as your head followed to reveal a woman. A very disappointed-looking woman to be exact.
Your eyes went straight for the name tag. It read 'Donna'
'Shit, it's my boss'
The stiffness in your body grew as she stared at you with a disgusted face.
"Annndd where the hell have you been?"
Her accent was strong as she scolded you. You gave her a sheepish smile as you scratched the back of your neck.
"I- I'm sorry, I wo-"
"I don't need your excuses, your 'partner' was late too. Can I not even have loyal employees?!"
Her voice rose. You were stuck on the word she used for your secretary. They are supposed to help you in the Gift Shop department since you've never been good with cashiers. You would've never expected them to be late.
"Well? get to WORK!"
Your eyes grew wider as people around you began to stare. You nodded to Donna, yet, you still had to ask her one more question. Where the hell is the gift shop.
"Don-"
"To your right"
"Yes ma'am"
You saluted her off for some reason. You shook it off as you jogged towards the Gift Shop. Luckily, it was easy to see. You were also glad to see that there weren't any customers.
You finally reached a white counter that shined bright against the lights from the ceiling.
You looked left and right for your so-called secretary. You couldn't quite find them so you just decided to take a minute for yourself and put your stuff away.
You had also found a small mirror on the counter.
You decided it would be best to fix the mess of hair that appeared to be a bird's nest.
You laughed a bit at yourself as you attempted to fix it. Along with your eye bags, you grabbed some under-eye foundation, which you thought was very useful.
As you began to place the substance on your face, some sort of eerie feeling came upon you. It didn't feel right but it didn't feel wrong either.
You shook your head slightly and finished the rest of the mush on your face so it didn't look out of place.
Suddenly, your eyes met with another's in the mirror. You looked concerned as you slowly turned towards the being.
"Oh..h-hi"
Someone said with a flustered voice. Your face met with theirs. You scanned them, it was a guy. A very handsome guy to say the least.
You had forgotten about their greeting so you blurted out,
"H-hello!"
Your face went into a bright pink as the man chuckled a bit at your response. You tried to laugh along but your brain felt like it was shutting down.
"I-I'm guessing you're the one working with me, no?"
You forced yourself to nod a 'yes' towards the black-haired boy. He appeared to be wearing a grey jacket of sorts with a button-up collar and some very nice dark grey jeans. He had very curly hair which fell on top of his forehead. 'Talk about smoking hot!'
You hadn't noticed, but a smirk grew onto your face as you scanned the man's features.
"Let m-me show ya the ropes"
"Sure"
He spoke fluently, yet, he always stuttered at least once in his sentences. Probably because you were a new person to appear in his life. An attractive one to say the least.
He began showing you where everything is. You had a fond memory so it wasn't too hard to recollect everything. You took one whole circle around the Gift Shop until you came back to the counter.
"So? Y-you think you're good to go?"
You meddled with your hands as you were stuck on one thing. The stupid cash register. That's the one thing that you struggled with the most.
"I-I um... Could you p-possibly.."
Why was this so damn hard? You were usually so good at speaking your mind and finding words without thinking about it. For some reason, it was so hard to find the words to ask how to use a singular cash register.
You rolled your eyes at yourself. The curly-haired boy didn't seem to take it that way.
"S-Sorry, did I say something wrong?"
A confused look came back to you as you waved your arms around.
"No! of course not, why would you think that?"
He started to fiddle with his thumbs as he couldn't think of something to say. You looked at him for a second to spot a name tag. You quickly read it.
"Steven"
Your right hand covered your mouth from the sudden outburst. 'I didn't mean to say that out loud!'. Steven looked at you with his cheeks turning a dark red. His eyes were wide as his mouth was partly open.
"How-"
"Your name tag! Don't worry I'm not a stalker!"
You both laughed a bit in relief. This was getting a little awkward. You sure as hell didn't want Donna to come back and yell at the two of you for not getting your work done.
"Just- could you help me with the register?"
Steven's eyes looked joyous. It was as if they were sparkling.
"M-my help?!"
He was pretty joyful. He looked like a puppy as he led you towards the back of the counter.
"Cute"
You whispered as you followed. He looked at you but went right back to the cashier with a bright smile on his face. Then he began to show you how it works and yada yada.
. . . . . . . . 𓆩❤︎𓆪 . . . . . . . .
The shift was almost over. You should've been grateful, but you weren't. You felt this pain in your chest as you began to close off the shop. 'What's wrong with me?'
You've never felt this, it didn't feel right. Your face looked disgusted as you turned around back to Steven, who had just finished putting away the plushies that were on the floor.
His face looked gentle as he strolled over to you.
"Are y-you alright?"
Your face fell back into a calm smile as you spoke to the nervous boy.
"I'm quite alright, you?"
"Feelin like a ray of sunshine"
He gave you a warm smile. You both chuckled as you left the shop to finally close off your nights.
"I'll see you tomorrow?"
You said as you held the back of your neck with your hand. Steven put his gaze on you, it was as if he was staring at you lovingly. 'As If!'
"Can't wait.."
He darted his eyes towards the ground as you both walked out of the museum. You were going to say goodbye until you noticed something. Steven had been walking the same way as you towards your bus stop.
"Uh, Steven?"
His face jolted up to look at you once again
"O-oh, hello"
"Do you take this bus too?"
His face froze as he looked at the bus stop. It sure was his bus stop. His head turned towards you and then his eyes did.
"I guess it is"
His smile never faded as you both waited for the bus. You did eventually get on it, together. Steven was kind enough to pay for you. You reassured him that he didn't need to. He shrugged it off saying that he owes you.
"Owe me for what?"
"F-For being so kind"
His smile just somehow grew larger and brighter. He sure was optimistic. You ran a hand through your hair as you looked out the window for a second. It was almost time for you to get off.
Butterflies formed in your stomach. The butterflies seemed to be a good and bad feeling. They came from Steven's compliment but also came from the fact you were going to leave someone who made you happy.
Your stop became closer and you sighed.
Steven's face grew concerned. He didn't say anything but he did glance at you from time and time.
You got up from your seat and waved goodbye.
"Now I will see you tomorrow"
A loving smile formed on your face as you looked at the curly-haired boy one more time. He smiled back. You could hear your heart pound as he said his next words. It was the cutest thing he said all day.
