TAKES PLACE AFTER TOPPAT RECRUIT

Requested by @tekkeroni , tysm :>

(You're Reginald's close friend and paperwork assistant, and you're currently helping him with some paperwork, but you begin to feel rather nervous around him... Reader's 2nd POV, you guys aren't together yet, mostly comedic. Hope you enjoy!)

   You sighed as you plopped another stack of paperwork on Reginald's desk, taking off your top hat for your hair/head to breath. You knew he was just going to make you stamp the more longer and difficult papers while he did the easier to read ones.

   As Y/N L/N, Reginald Copperbottom's trusted paperwork assistant and companion, it was your job to do so. But sometimes, you wish he would at least make an effort to talk to you more casually instead of lecturing you while stamping or signing papers.

   Truth be told, you've begun to have a small feeling of heartache while near him, and speaking to him has been becoming harder and harder due to the strange lump in your throat. You've consulted a doctor about these strange conditions, but he had laughed at you and told you, 'Good luck!'

    Honestly, you didn't get what the doctor had said at all.

  "Oi! Chop chop, the more paperwork done, the less time wasted, and the more time needed to brainstorm raids! C'mon now!" He encouraged you in an impatient tone, breaking your train of thought.

  You almost jumped from the sound of his voice, your face growing beat red. "Y-yes, sorry about that, Reginald..." You immediately went back to work.

  "Oh, no need for apologies. You always do that, drifting off to different, imaginative worlds. Honestly, it's quite strange. I have never been able to day-dream in the midst of work even when during a break..." He continued to blather on about your strange habit. 

   Normally you would roll your eyes at him teasingly before continuing the paperwork without listening, but the last few days have compelled you to listen to him. His lectures would typically be boring and a nuisance to you, especially the one that was about whether a certain pyramid-like triangle man was actually alive, but recently, his lectures have been interesting.

   The only downside to this is that it would be a struggle to focus on paperwork.

  "I wonder, why do they call day dreams day dreams? Well, I feel like that's a topic for later. Anyways, I've felt a bit suspicious about that Henry and Ellie characters, but they seem to be very loyal, just like you... Hm?" He suddenly turned his eyes to you, surprised. Was there something wrong? Or did you make a mistake? Was the insane, so-called world-conquering, green alien back?

  "Is something wrong? Did I stamp a paper incorrectly?" You asked, somewhat worried you upset him.

  "No, I'm just surprised you're actually listening this time! Usually you'd just shut my philosophical talks off..." Reginald said, as he suddenly got up from his desk to get closer to you. Your face began to heat up for some reason.

  "Well, it's nice to actually see you listen. I was beginning to think we were just business partners!" He smiled, giving you a pat on your head. This only made your blushing worsen.

  "Y-yes, Regi, I-I think we've grown a b-bit distant recently, I apologize..." You shook your head nervously and smiled.

  "Is that so, Y/N," He questioned, leaning on you. "Why don't we have a date of sorts? Does a tea party sound nice?"

   Was he purposefully trying to fluster you? Because if he is, he's succeeding greatly. You quickly hid your face embarrassed and hummed affirmatively to his invitation.

  He smiled brightly at you before tossing his arm around to your right shoulder, startling you. "Thank you greatly for accepting the invitation. Y/N! I promise to order the best tea leaves and cookies for us. Now, I'll be making my way to the cafeteria. I'll be back soon!"

   You clenched your burning chest as soon as he closed the door, and took a deep breath in, and out. Calming yourself somewhat. You know knew what the doctor meant.

   But before you could even think of the answer subconsciously, you heard Reginald scream:

  "YES!"
