A/N: Dedicated to my best friend who never gave up on me even if I rejected her help countless times, that even if I told her to go away, she would always come back to try to befriend me. Thank you for always staying with me no matter what kind of mood I have, and even if we fight, your sincerity can always be felt. Thank you for staying truthful to me. They say no one is perfect, but you are perfect to me.

When Captain found that a person would be useful, he would take that person in regardless of who they were and what they were doing before, and for that reason the backgrounds of Scepter 4 members varied greatly.

I heard that Kamo-san was a cook previously, for example. But Fushimi-san's unique personal history stood out even among that variety.

He was a former clansman of the Red King, the adversary to the Blue King under whom we lived — and Captain didn't even make an attempt to hide that fact of Fushimi-san's biography from us at all.

"Man, that brat is seriously impertinent… I think I need a smoke or something…"

"Did he yell at you too? Isn't he, like, a teenager or something? Man, if only the Captain hadn't put that kid in a high position, I already would have given him at least a punch."

Hidaka scurries inside the office, accidentally bumping two men in the process. He abruptly apologizes with a grin and follows it with a greeting upon noticing that the people that he bumped into doesn't look quite pleased. If anything, it is quite the contrary.

One of them pushes a cup of coffee to his hands and it almost spills, but he luckily recognizes that on time. "Hey, kid. Bring this to Fushimi-san. The two of us are taking a break."

"Eh? Ah, oh-"

Before Hidaka was able to protest, the two men that he bumped into are already gone, leaving nothing but a soft mumble of 'Scepter 4 is already filled with stupid children. It was better back then when the members were actually older.' He badly wants to negate, to at least express hostility, but his eyes fall on the cup in his hands.

Now that he thinks about it, he has never talked to Fushimi before.

All he knew is that Fushimi probably is the youngest member of Scepter 4, the Captain picked him himself, and he is being appointed as third-in-command effective today.

That and he used to be a member of the Third and Red Clan, HOMRA.

Hidaka braces himself and walks towards Fushimi's office, smiling at a few colleagues along the way. He actually has a lot of friends here in Scepter 4. His closest is Enomoto, and there was another guy back then named Kusuhara Takeru… Hidaka quickly shakes his head before the thought can even plague him as he prepares to knock on Fushimi's door.

He almost stumbles in surprise as the door already opens before he can even knock, and Fushimi peeks out, scanning the entire room with his rather hostile eyes. "…Who's Domyouji Andy?"

The entire room's temperature feel like it suddenly went down, and Hidaka admittedly feels that he is frozen on his feet as he tightly holds the cup of coffee in his hand. Domyouji sheepishly raises his hand and murmurs, "Here I am, sir…"

Fushimi glares at Domyouji, and Hidaka feels sorry for anyone who will be on the receiving end of that glare. "Your report looks like it was made by a grade-schooler. Fix your report immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

Hidaka is seriously in awe at how Fushimi did not even need to raise his voice to get this kind of reaction from everyone. Fushimi scans the room once more and his eyes fall on Hidaka's, and Hidaka could have sworn that he felt his throat go dry.

Realizing what just happened, Hidaka quickly stands straight. "Coffee, sir?"

Fushimi raises an eyebrow. "…And who might you be?"

"A-Ah, Hidaka Akira, sir! Part of Domyouji-san's squad, sir!"

Fushimi scrutinizes him from head to toe before murmuring a bored 'Is that so' and then proceeding to close the door again. There is a moment of silence, followed by a couple of murmurs, an exchange of complaints, and an 'I'm so afraid I almost wet myself' from someone – Hidaka doesn't even know anymore.

Hidaka quickly knocks on the door and the people around stop talking again as Fushimi peeks out, this time, glaring at Hidaka. "…What do you want?"

"Coffee, sir?"

Fushimi raises an eyebrow again, as if to silently ask if Hidaka is serious, as he eyes the cup of coffee in Hidaka's hands before abruptly taking it with a swift swipe. The door is closed before Hidaka even realizes it, and the room is, expectedly, suddenly filled with human voice again.

"Hidaka, man, that took some balls!"

"True bravery in the form of coffee!"

Hidaka rolls his eyes as his coworkers tap him on the back as if he has accomplished a very heroic deed.

Meanwhile, he is still shaken because he doesn't think he has seen a person as gorgeous as that before.

I appreciate all feedback! Please tell me what you think about it :)
