《Wrap Me in Gold ; Reader X Midas (Fortnite)》Chapter 8 | Proper Introduction
Advertisement
You slowly open your eyes to the sunlight peeking in through the window that was in front of your laying body, as the blankets were thrashed around your legs, as both your feet were sticking out. Your eyes still heavy and squinting from the slumber you just woke from. You slowly pushed yourself up with both your arms as you turned your head towards the digital clock, '6:03am' you read as your eyes were still squinting. You had set your alarm for 6:30am the night before but as you thought about, you were glad you naturally woke up before it went off as it gave you more time to get ready. You started to get excited even though you were groggy, remembering that you have a whole new outfit to wear, with makeup too! These were one of the times where you didn't mind getting up and ready bright and early. You slowly made your way out of bed, hearing the bird chirps making your think to yourself that you've never seen any birds in game before. You walked over to the bathroom scratching your right side when your eyes started to adjust to look normal again. Just like any other morning routine you used the toilet first, brush your teeth, then turned on the shower water, all with the bathroom door open since it was just you by yourself.
You turned it onto the hotter side like you usually would, but you let it steam up knowing it won't instantly become warm. As you waited patiently for the water to heat, you walked back into your room at a fast pace knowing that you still had to quickly be done before you get picked up. Reaching next to your bed you grabbed the shopping bag that held your new clothes, walking back into the bathroom, this time closing the door. Placing the bag by the sink, you reached into the cabinet above the toilet grabbing a white towel that was provided before you moved in. You put the toilet lid down when you then placed the towel on top of it, ready to be used once you got out of the hot water. You stripped from the only undergarments you had slept in letting it drop onto the floor before stepping into the shower tub as you pulled the white shower curtain for privacy.
After enjoying the quick hot shower using the new shampoo, conditioner, shaving supplies, etc. from the shopping spree yesterday, you stepped out letting the water drip down your body. The steam floating in the bathroom. You grabbed the towel from the toilet seat wrapping your body in to quickly as possible. You reached for the door knob, opening the door to check the time, making your quickly realize something you hadn't thought about since you got here. You couldn't see that far from the bathroom door to the clock sitting by your bed. You had completely forgotten that you needed glasses.
You didn't know if it was possible that you'd need glasses, you're in a game for fucks sake, you didn't think about. Then again, you should've realized this sooner, but anytime you didn't see something far away, you just assumed it was the game not loading in yet, if that made any sense. You felt stupid that didn't think about it let alone acknowledge it. 'Fucking dumbass' you thought to yourself as you walked out of the bathroom, water still dripping down your legs to your feet, making everywhere you stepped have a small puddle, but you didn't care. As you got closer to the clock it read '6:22', still had time to get your makeup done and hair dried. You walked back to the steamy bathroom, closing the door behind you. Unwrapping your nude body from the towel you patted off the wet parts of your body then making your way up to your hair. You bent over letting your hair flip before viciously the white towel into your hair, drying it as fast as possible. You kept doing this until the wet strands of hair got thinner and thinner.

Fast forward; You had just finalized doing your makeup, without looking at your new outfit in the mirror, you wanted your final look to be a surprise. Doing two more strokes of mascara you slid the spoolie back into the tube twisting it close. Your final touch was to grab the eyebrow brush, using the spoolie on the other end to blend in your eyebrow makeup in the front. You set down the makeup brush backing up to get the final look. Satisfied, you smiled as you finally felt like yourself again, like you back home. You felt confident and pretty. Before you could be full of yourself, you stopped looking in mirror knowing that if you didn't for any longer, you'd become conceited and just stare at your beauty and make random poses. By now your hair has fully dried. From the way you dry your hair, it naturally dries the way you wanted it to, no need to brush our any tangles as you didn't have any, you were blessed to have that type of hair type.
You walked back into your room to get a close look at the new time. '6:50' you read as a doorbell was rung, making your jump. "Perfect timing" You said quietly. You didn't have time to look at your outfit in the mirror but you assumed you already looked fine. You walked out, grabbing your heels from the other shopping bag by your bedside, then walking downstairs. You opened the door to reveal two henchmen. "Good morning boys." You smiled. They nodded as the began walking away, signaling for you to follow, you walked behind them after you closed the door behind you, locking it. You placed the key ring around your middle finger since you didn't have any pockets to store it in, speed walking to catch up with the two men walking in front of you.
On the way to the agency as the breeze flow through your hair, standing behind the driver, you started to feel a grumble in your stomach. 'Shit I didn't eat..' you remembered. Usually, back at home you'd rarely eat breakfast, your body just got used to it so you'd usually hold out and eat in the afternoon. But in this case, for some reason, you just couldn't. Maybe they had a snack lounge at the agency? You turned your head to henchmen sitting behind you, "Uh, do you guys have like a break room when I can get a quick snack? I didn't have time to make breakfast." You explained. "We do have kitchen, it's right next to he lounge room." He nodded as you answered your question. You quickly nodded then turned your head back towards the front, watching at your approached the front of the agency.
Arriving at the agency, you were just as nervous as yesterday, but you still had some sort of comfort and confidence hiding inside of you. You greeted Bracer before she could greet you first, "Morning Bracer," You smiled "is uh Mr. Midas here?" You asked. You felt weird just saying his first name so to be polite, you added 'Mr.' in the front, even though he insisted otherwise. "Hey, yeah, he's up in his office. Third level." She answered. "Thanks Brace." You were a little bold to give her a quick nickname and she didn't seem to mind as she smiled back before writing on some paperwork.
Walking up the stairs, you started to panic, hoping that you looked as good at you did when you left the house. 'Fuck what if my hair is all fucked from the boat ride here??' Your eyes widened. Reaching the third level you rushed both your handed to brush through your hair with your fingers, only to have a few minor tangles but nothing messy. You fixed your hair neatly, tucking it behind your right ear, revealing the fake cheap diamond stud earring that you picked up at the store. You finally made it to his door, standing straight, you suddenly felt confident and hot as you remembered how good your new outfit was.

Knocking three times like you did yesterday, you were quickly invited inside. "Come in, y/n." Confused, you walked in speaking first. "Hey boss, how'd you know it was me?" You asked as you furrowed your eyebrows, closing the door behind you. Walking over to the seat in front of his desk he answered "Because you're the only person I expected, and I saw you walking through the hallway through the window. Took you awhile to knock on the door, trying to look nice to something?" He asked with his slit eyebrow raised but remained his emotionless face. Flustered, you didn't know how to answer, of course you were trying to look nice, for him! "Aha.. Just trying to look presentable for the job." You broke eye contact after being called out. He hummed and nodded his head then looked down at the papers in front of him. He cleared his throat as he began speaking, "So, today you'll be organizing some of my agents files that'll be handed out to them today during their meeting for their next mission." He said grabbing a stack as he held it then tapped it on the table straightening it out. "Is that all today?" You asked. "Yes, that and you'll be joining me in the meeting this morning." He answered, still organizing and separating some paperwork.
You watched him focused on getting the work done. 'I've never found a man working so attractive until now..' You zoned off before snapping yourself back into reality. "Uh- is that going to be a new routine for me? Like should I join you for every meeting?" You can't help but say "Uh" or "Um" around him specifically, it was just something you had a habit of doing when you started a sentence. Sitting crossed legged, you fiddled your fingers as you still looked up at his handsome face. "Yes, it'd be great for you to try to join every meeting as you will be taking notes on the lesson unless I tell you otherwise." He informed now looking at you. His beautiful eyes throwing you off making you look away again. You were thrown off to the point where you couldn't speak, you just nodded your head in response.
He literally took your breath away.
'Stop you have a boyfriend in the real world' You argued with yourself. 'Buuut, this is your world for now..' The other part of you argued back. The whole time you were here, you barely thought about your boyfriend back at home, you didn't feel that guilty as you were starting to feel distant from him anyways, you didn't love him as much as you used to. You're in a whole different simulation right now, if anything he's more irrelevant than he was before. That's when the bad fucked up side of you started to creep up. 'Fuck it, I don't care if this is considered cheating, it's not like he'd know anyways. We're not even in the same world so who cares?' That was your new excuse to have a crush on the man sitting in front of you. 'I'm in a whole different world right now... If I have no boyfriend in this simulation, then I'm technically single.' you shrugged internally. You had a point and it made you feel less guilty about "cheating" on your boyfriend back in the real world by having a crush on your new boss. You looked up from the ground, out of your thoughts, looking up at Midas yet again.
He was staring at you.
You stared at him back, this time not afraid to break eye contact. 'Why is he not looking away? Is there something on my face? Is he too embarrassed to inform me on something distracting on my face!? Is he judging my makeup? This is the first time he's seen me with it. Does he think it's bad? Are my eyebrows too thick?!?' You reminisced the tragic times when you first started doing your eyebrows and they were too thick for your face and how awful they looked. You hope this wasn't one of those moments. 'Is my foundation too cakey?!' You lastly asked yourself. After a moment that felt that forever, he finally spoke.
"What are you thinking in that head of your Miss. y/n?" He asked, placing his elbows on his desk, locking his hands together properly, all his attention now on you and not the work under his arms. "Uh, what do you mean?" You chuckled nervously, afraid that he was reading your mind. "You were in your thoughts just a second ago, do you have questions or concerns?" He asked making a concerned face, eyebrows in worry. You thought for a moment, trying to find something to say as he still looked at you waiting for a response. "I just.. I wanted to get to know you a little more? In an appropriate boss to assistant type of way of course." You blurted. You weren't lying. You wanted to know more about this handsome man and the type of person he is. "How so?" He asked. He was a little shocked that you wanted to get to know him so soon, usually he's the one to asked his new workers to introduce themselves so that he has a taste on the type of person that he himself has hired, seeing if they're dependable or not. "Well, uh. you know.. So I can get to know you as a boss and a person outside of work." You answered, "You can know a few things about me too in return!" you added.
He sat there thinking, eyeing around objects in the room before making a decision. "Meet me here in my office after the meeting later." He finalized. You smiled as he actually agreed to get to know you, and you get to know him! Sure you'll probably get the typical favorite movie, color, food, whether he prefers day or night, who his favorite agent was, etc. but this was your chance to actually talk to him, in an actual genuine conversation! You felt like you were back at home, during school, having a new crush. This made you at happy and excited making you feel warm on the inside.
You blushed that he was taking the kind offer from his new worker. "Okay, will do." You said still smiling, your cheeks were hurting at this point. "Alright, getting back on track, here are the agents files," He started at her handed you a small stack on paper in blue folders with the ghost logo on it. You grabbed it and place it carefully on your thighs as your legs were still crossed, right over the left. "I need you to make sure that they're in the right piles under the correct names of the agents and their mission. I mistakenly printed them out of order and don't have time to put them in the correct files myself, so I'm handing them off to you. It shouldn't be hard considering that their names are under each paper that they're assigned to." "So just make a file for each agent?" You asked making sure. "Correct, it's really simple but double check once you've finished, I don't need them doing something they weren't assigned to during their mission as it could mess everything up. I do not want that to be on your hands as there would be consequences."
The last sentence made you gulp. 'What consequence?' You asked yourself. You didn't wanna to find out so you just nodded and listened to his orders. "Got it, I'll return these to you when the meeting starts." You said. "Very well, you're dismissed." He finished. You stood up, holding the files under your right arm letting your left arm straighten out your skirt before walking out the door.
"Miss. y/n," Midas stopped you as you reached the door. "Yes?" You asked. "Nice new outfit, it suits you. Don't forget after the meeting." He finished. "Thanks.." You said quietly, shy from the sudden compliment before quickly walking out before he saw how hard you began to blush.
"Nice new outfit." Kept replaying in your head making you blush harder and harder at the thought of him acknowledging let alone speak up on it.
That compliment he quickly threw in kept playing over and over until you finally reached into your office.
