《Wrap Me in Gold ; Reader X Midas (Fortnite)》Chapter 7 | Redeeming Confidence
Advertisement
As you and the girls arrived at the scene known as Retail Row, you recognize everything from the game from the times you'd land here, ready to eliminate anyone that crossed you. The only difference from the playing the game and being in the game itself, was that there we people or as you would say back at home, skins, walking around going about their days. It explains how there were cars around, who else got it there of course there were people actually lived their daily lives, here, I mean, you work for one.
You followed the girls like a lost dog as the group walked in front of a store with clothing items. 'I don't really consider this as a mall but, okay Skye." You said in your head raising your eyebrows. Walking in, you saw the many styles all over the place, it wasn't your average store back at home, sure they had the basic clothes, but they also had the wacky accessories or loud colored shirts or skirts. This made you realize where everyone in the item shop would get their clothes, it was interesting to think of it that way, but it also made sense. You had been wearing the basic default clothes since you've arrived into the game and you never liked it, it was default for crying out loud, you spent real life money to buy the skin Enovy so you wouldn't match with half the bots in the game.
"I kinda only really wanted to take you here so you can get a change of clothes, the default outfit isn't that cute when there's a lot of people wearing the same thing.." Skye confessed up at you. She was about an inch or two shorter. You both stood by the entrance of the store but next to the door so you two wouldn't get in the way of customers coming in or leaving. Tina went off on her own over to the taco shop by the basketball court, while Maya made her way to the store next door to purchase war face paint, leaving Skye with you to help pick out your new everyday wear.
"Well I'm glad you did, I wouldn't know who else would be down to take me, I don't like this outfit anyways." You replied looking down at your outfit tugging the bottom of your shirt. "Well then why did you choose to wear it?" She asked, still not aware that you didn't have choice of picking your outfit or even coming into this simulation. Before you tried to make up an excuse to lie, you two were interrupted.
"What's up Skye!" You heard an unfamiliar voice. You and Skye turned your heads to the young girls left where the greeting came from. "Oh hey Verge!" Skye greeted back with a smile and a big wave towards the male. "What are you doing here, shouldn't you be out on some mission?" He asked. "Today is our day off, so I decided to spend it here with my new friend, Y/N!" She answered the man pointing and looking at you then turning back to Verge. 'Friend..? she considers us friends? She didn't even introduce as a colleague or Midas' assistant. I appreciate that so much' You thought to yourself smiling. "My bad, I'm being rude, My names Verge. Nice to me you.. uh?" "Y/N," You finished his sentence for him "and it's nice to meet you too, Verge." He smiled back at her although his mask was covering his mouth, along with his goggles, but he looked good in it, must be the blond platinum hair that's a nice touch to his mysterious look. "Pleasures all mine." He replied crossing his arms. "Yeahh.." Skye interrupted, squinting at the boy in front of her. "So how come I've never seen you around here before, you know, like with Skye and the other agents?" He continued the conversation. "I just joined their agency like, today." You answered as he nodded his head. "Wellll, we kinda have to get going, so if you'll excusee us." Skye started as she pulled your arm in the other direction waving at Verge excusing you guys, you have a quick wave too before disappearing somewhere into the store. "What was that about? I was about to continue the conversation." You said to her when she stopped in her tracks. "I don't know, he seemed a little more weird than usual." Skye replied. "How? That's how every friendly introduction conversation starts." You said. "I don't know, I just felt uncomfortable, plus, we have to find you your new everyday wear!" She changed the topic.

Moments have passed since that conversation and you were struggling to find what to wear. You didn't want to wear all the tacky crazy clothes you'd see the other 'skins' wear, you couldn't pull it off like them, so you decided to just go basic. Looking around the store, Skye ran off as something cute caught her eye in the accessories section leaving you by yourself but you didn't mind. You finally came across some basic regular clothes making you gasp at the relief that you can dress normal. Your eyes landed on a simple white dress button up shirt, but it was cropped a bit, it looked pretty small but it was stretchy indicating that it'll hug your upper body once you put it on. You held it up to examine it before deciding to hold onto it to try on. Now, your journey to find bottoms begins.
You walk down a little bit more to come across basic bottom. You eyed at the many options of choice before getting to the pants section. 'Do I really need pants though? As much as I like them just for the advantage of showing that I have some ass, I feel like it's not very assistant professional.' you thought to yourself, giggling at your hoetivities of only liking jeans because they make your butt look good, but who are you trying to impress? 'Midas' the voice in your head said. 'stop it, ew no!' you fought back, feeling crazy that you're arguing with your dirty thoughts. Shaking your head, you walked down a but more to find skirts. There were many style of skirts that came up; Pencil, long-dress like, school girl, tutu inspired, and your favorite. You gasp out loud as your eyes land on the type of skirt you have back at home. It was black and simple, nice enough to pair with the shirt you picked. It was the type of skirt all the girls wore back at home, high-waisted, cotton fabric, mid-thigh length, with a black zipped on the back. It had two triangle cut-outs on both thighs, revealing some skin. You immediately reached for your size, holding onto it, eager to try it on, already knowing that it'll look so cute on you.
You quickly walked over to the dressing room, finding it wasn't hard. You walked up the entrance of the room, standing there waiting for permission to enter. No one came out to help and you were too excited to try it so you invited yourself in. You walked into the bigger dressing room closing the curtain behind you when you then placed the selected clothes onto the chair next to the mirror. You removed all of your default clothing leaving you in your undergarments. You stood there, looking at yourself in the mirror, not realizing how you never looked so hard at yourself in the mirror since you've been here. You couldn't believe the fact that you still looked the exact same, just more cartoon like, but in your eyes for some reason it looked perfectly normal. "Thank god I got transported into a game with good high quality and detailed pixels and not into Minecraft." You whispered to yourself as you turned your body getting a look at your behind. Your body was in better shape than in real life, you assumed it was because these players have to be fit in order to go into war. You didn't complain, it was your dream body.
You finally reached over to the dress shirt, putting it on, buttoning it up. You fixed the collar before nicely rolling up the sleeves right before your elbows. You were right, the shirt hugs your side curves and body just right. You always liked tight shirts, it somewhat compressed your body, making you feel (what you would say back at home), snatched. It wasn't loose at all like other dress shirts usually would be, making you say to yourself 'This is the one'.

Reaching over to the skirt, you unzipped the back part then proceeded to slip it up your legs with ease. The skirt started to have a tighter squeeze/hug to your legs as it raised up to your thighs then to your waist, making your curves more noticeable. Although the dress shirt was cropped, the skirt covered up the belly button that was supposed to be showing, making it a bit more professional. You looked at yourself, amazed by how cute but work attired ready you looked. You felt like the hot assistant in the movies, and you simply did not mind at all. If you're going to leave this game anytime soon, might as well leave looking good. You felt like it was missing something, but you ignored it and decided you'll deal with it later.
After cleaning up the dressing room and got back into your previous default clothes, you left the dressing room. You began your hunt to look for Skye, but it didn't last long as she found you instead. "There you are! Where were you?" She asked concerned. "I was just in the dressing room, I found out what I wanna wear!" You answered at you handed her your soon to be new clothes. She eyed it and looked back and forth at both you and the choice of skirt and shirt, imagining you wearing it. "Mmm, I approve, it's a good work attire outfit since you're M's assistant!" She told truthfully. "But it's missing something.." She continued "Missing what?" You asked, maybe she'll fill in the missing puzzle piece. "A buckle belt with ammo! Oh oh oh, and a gun holster!" She answered excitedly. "Wait, you might've just did something." You said shocked at how cute it'd look. "Duh! I know what I'm doing." Skye said with confident. "But wait, I'm just an assistant, why would I need a gun.. and ammo?" You asked. "Because you're working with us now, even if you're just an assistant, your life is still somewhat on the line with the war with shadow. You'll need to be ready for war whenever." She explained. It made a lot of sense, these shadow people sounded serious, and the thought of your life being on the line because of them scared you. You gulped at the thought of shooting someone, you don't know how to shoot at all, but, a gun on your bare thigh would be a cute sexy touch. "Okay, I'm in on that suggestion." You nodded at the girl, making her jump in 'yay' that you took her fashion advice.
Fast forward to the end of the shopping spree, to sum it up; Skye paid for your new skirt and dress shirt with her business card. You remembered that you needed new shoes to complete the look, Maya participated on helping you pick out new shoes so she lead you towards a shoe store to pick something out. Boy, did the girl have style, it explains how she had so many different style in the battle pass. She knew exactly what would fit you, simple black strapped heels. It wasn't too much, it was how you liked it, in fact, you had some back at home sitting in your closet. Maya paid for that while the only thing Tina bought for you (so it'd be equal between the girls) was a fish taco, and damn was it good as hell, though you couldn't finish it you decided to save it and give it to the cute buff cat back the agency as a kind friendly gesture that'll make his day. The girls made sure that you stopped by another store to quickly grab essentials, for example: New toothbrush, toothpaste, mouth wash, deodorant, lotion, chapstick, face wash, feminine products (even in fortnite you can't escape that time of the month), and more, but most importantly, makeup. You were more than excited to finally be able to put on make up as you get ready for work tomorrow.
It was about 1pm and the sun was still out but you including the girls were a bit tired. They offered to take you somewhere else to hang out but you could feel their tired energy needing rest so you turned down the offer and told them to return to the agency, it was their day off and you wanted to relax since that was the point of getting one.
The group of girls including you, arrived at the agency curtesy of the henchmen that drove the boat. A nearby henchmen held your hand, helping you get out as you gave him a quick 'Thank you' and smile, earning a nod in return. Another henchmen was holding your bags but you quickly stopped him, you knew he had a more important duty to do so you kindly asked for your bags and told him to "return doing what he does best". Little did she know, that small compliment made his stressful day a little bit better.
You shook your head getting the hairs out of your face as you entered the agency behind the girls, getting greeted by Bracer. "Hey girls, welcome back!" She said smiling at everyone before returning to the computer typing away. You followed the girls into the lounge room, running into the boys as you entered. "Welcome back girls." Peely joked at he popped a chip into his mouth, eyes not leaving the TV screen in front of him. Maya sarcastically flipped him off at she walked over next to him making herself comfortable kicking her boots up on the coffee table filled with chips and soda cans along with a half eaten sandwich. Tina and Skye walked off into the kitchen around the corner leaving you with no other choice than to try to fit in and sit with the others. You placed your bags by the couch you were choosing to sit on. Meowcles was sitting there playing games with Brutus who was on the couch across from you and the cat. You laid back crossing your legs as you held the left over fish tacos in your hand.
Shortly after, the game ended with Brutus winning making Meowcles hiss at him. "You're such a cheater I swear!" He hissed again. "I'm a hacker, of course I am!" Brutus shot back with his thick Russian accent. You laughed at the argument before turned to Meowcles, tucking your hair behind your ear in the process. "Hey! I got you something that I couldn't finish, take this as a gift of a new friendship!" You smiled big with your lips handing it to him. You liked meowcles since you landed your eyes on him in the game. He's a cute cat! How could you not? You've always had a thing for pets so Meowcles automatically had a place in your heart. His eyes widened into two black dots as his mouth opened in shock, taking the bag out of your hand before uniting the knot you made. He opened the to-go box to reveal the two tacos you couldn't bare to shove in your mouth. He let out a loud meow out of happiness and you couldn't tell if it was bad or good thing from the way it sounded, but him quickly hugging you as he purred answered your question. "You're welcome." You chuckled before he could even say thank you. He dove right into the food purring at the delicious fish all cats love.
Fast Forward; The day ended sooner than you thought as you stayed in the lounge room with the others, getting to know them a little bit more, also showing them your gaming skills as you beat Peely and Tina in few games. You had a blast, and this was all within your first day of work. Unfortunately, you hadn't run into Midas, you assumed he was in his office working, not bothering the agents on their day off. Just because they get one, does not mean he does too. He never really does, and he always kept it that way, he was work driven and always had the work motivated mindset. They don't call him a mastermind for nothing. You were honestly hoping to run into him as you left the agency, holding your shopping bags, saying your goodbyes to the other agents as they left at the same time. You watched as they all drove off on their own boats. 'Maybe I should try to drive my own..' You thought as you watched Skye, who's younger, drive her own boat.
"Ready to go, Miss Y/N?" A henchmen asked in front of you. "Yes, thank you." He reached for your bags that you gladly let him take as he was kind enough to do so. You stood in the middle, right behind the driver, holding on the bar that sits on to of the drivers seat. The cold night air hits your skin yet again, as the wind blows through your hair, causing a few tangles but nothing you can't brush out.
You finally arrived at your doorstep, sticking your key into the keyhole, revealing the inside of your house as you entered, locking the door behind you. Just like your first night here, you walked over to the window giving the henchmen a thumbs up letting him know he's good to go. You watched him walk him off, making sure he got into the boat safely. Once he was out of your sight, you walked up stairs placing your new clothes to the side, ready for tomorrow, whereas for the other purchased items, you placed them everywhere they needed to be; in the bathroom, closet, bedroom. You huffed, tired from walking around the house placing everything everywhere. You turned your head to look at the clock sitting above your bed on the bed frame shelf reading '8:30pm' You were too tired to throw yourself in the shower, "I'll just shower in the morning." You mumbled to yourself before stripping down into your undergarments. Bras are never comfortable so you decided to take that off too, away from the window of course. You made sure to turn off the lights making it pitch black in the room, the only light being the moon and streetlights like usual.
Throwing yourself under the covers, you reached over to the alarm, setting the time to alert you when to wake before the henchmen arrive. Placing it back you snuggled your half nude body deeper into the blankets closing your tired heavy eyes.
"What a day..." You whispered before going off into a deep sleep.
A/N: yooo! how bout that season 3 trailer huh... lol Midas isn't dead it wouldn't make sense, so that's my theory. It was just a trailer and I think they wanted to pull off something funny like that. Think about it, him and meowcles weren't even wearing their shadow gear. Also, Brutus was wearing ghost clothing, when he's on shadow, his pictures are literally all over the authority but in the trailer he was hanging out at the new ghost territory. btw, that's sad, ghost has to live in the junky area : ( It makes me happy that they're still on ghost and still put up the logos everywhere to make it known that's their new home. What do you guys think?
