aiden has been in a slump for the past few hours. nothing was working out for him, his beats and melodies are all mixed up. he couldn’t seem to fit the lyrics and the harmony into one. and to think that he had a productive and amazing morning? pft. he was being too cocky, but that is not news, not for the producer of all of his staffs. sighing to himself, he raked his fingers through his hair out of frustration before he finally, finally let himself take off his headphones. “fuck.” he mumbled more to himself than anything as he leaned back against his chair, head tilting up with the back of his hands rubbing his exhausted eyes. even without looking around, he knew most of his staffs weren’t around, nobody would want to be around him when he was at this murderous state.
taking a deep breath and puffing out his cheeks when he exhaled, he decided that it was time to call it a day. without thinking, the black haired boy switched off the things that needed to be and when he was about to leave his studio- his phone rang and the name “suki” with a little fire and heart emoji appeared on his screen, as well as a photo of the girl in one of his many hoodies that he knew she had stolen from him. looking at the time, he immediately had a frown creasing his face, it was still suki’s working hours, why would she be calling him at this time? usually it would be the other way around, aiden would be the one who will be calling the girl at this hour. he’s needy when it comes to suki, time probably doesn’t really exist whenever he’s with her or more like he doesn’t care about time at all when he wants to call her or when he wants her around. good morning calls and fuck hours at night are not strangers to them, aiden gets sleepless when his brain is thinking of music and who else would he call but suki to calm himself down?
stepping out of the building, aiden answered the call with a cheery “heeey.” but his mouth turned downwards into a frown when he heard her tone. he knew something is up just from one breath suki uttered. “baby?” he doesn’t call her pet names often because, well, because of his pride and all. but in situation like these, he sometimes couldn’t help himself and it is something that they never bring up, ever. “i’m about to leave my studio.” a pause. “i can pick you up from work and we can grab dinner if you want.” he let his question hang for a little bit longer but he was already in his car and heading towards suki’s office while he wait for her response.
“i’m okay.” she whispered through the phone sweetly, the pet name signaling that he figured something was up. but typical suki would act as if it were nothing, as if she were perfectly fine and nothing was bothering her. even if her chest starting to hurt from the multiple deep breaths in a row, she knew better than to make the boy worry. the asshole in her office was nowhere near it. at his words, her eyes turned to look at the clock that sat at the corner of her desk. it wasn’t even close to being the end of the day for her, but... fuck it. her frustrations would only lead her to half ass the work, meaning she’d start it over and do it again because suki never turned in anything half assed. getting things done as close to perfect as possible was what she aimed for and she succeeded every time. and no mater who’s work it was, or who forced her to get it done, she couldn’t turn in anything less than her standards if her name was written on it.
“yeah,” she started, another soft sigh past cherry lip, eyes staring down at a blank notepad that she scribbled patterns across. “we can do that. i probably shouldn’t be leaving this early, but. i’m so irritated.” so much for trying to hide her frustrations from the boy. “i’ll meet you downstairs, just pull in front. the guard knows your car by now, i’m sure he won’t make you move it.” she chuckled out lightly. “i’ll see you in a few. be careful, please.” and with that, she ended the call, one last deep breath into the air before she stood from her seat. she grabbed her bag and placed her phone within it, adding her wallet and lipstick for touch ups. she grabbed the jacket she wore in today and threw it over the small outfit she wore that day. maybe not work appropriate, but oh well. it’s not like they’d fire the one brain they had in the place. so grabbing the small note charlie left her, she slipped it into her pocket before heading to her supervisor's office.
“there’s been an emergency, i have to go. that pile charlie left will get done tomorrow. unless he wants to take it back and shove it up his ass. see you tomorrow.” by now, the office was use to suki’s mouth and attitude, most of them finding it funny and somewhat endearing. but her supervisor? he enjoyed it more than anyone else. the elevator ride was empty, no one leaving around this time of the day. and the lobby was just as dead, minus the receptionists and security that stood at the doors. offering a smile to each of them, she stopped outside the moment she could see aiden’s car pulling up, the shiny surface of the expensive car always something to admire before she actually got in it. “hey.” she said softly, sounding almost defeated. “i didn’t pull you from anything, right? like, you weren’t busy?” she asked, leaning over to place a soft kiss on the boy’s cheek as she usually did when she greeted him. “not that i’d care, i’m just wondering.” she teased with a giggle.
