At the Water Dispenser

Some conversations in the Liu Association's Headquarters make interesting bonds. Most of the time it would take place in cubicles, or during breaks. Today, Gregor found Ryōshū by the water dispenser, smoking a cigarette as usual.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Excuse me.
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
N.M. I'm thirsty.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Gah, whatever. I've got nothing else to do so I'm staying right next to you.
Sometimes, with Ryōshū, the air would be a little quiet and awkward, as she's always so focused with work, not caring half the time. Gregor wasn't in the mood to smoke things out either. The smell of tobacco tempts him ever so slightly. Their talk starts with a huff out of Ryōshū's mouth.
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
So. Tell me.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Hang on, just let me sip this—
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
Meursault. You? Him? You're fucking, right.
Gregor spits out some water, coughing at the ridiculousness of this question.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Hrgh...What the hell, pal! You couldn't even give me a second before asking that?!
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
A.T.Q.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Why are you so nosy...!
Meursault...
Wings, it's hard to think when you're coughing so much and choking on water. Ryōshū doesn't bother, just cuts to the bullshit quick and easy. He takes a moment to register everything. What did he think of that man, anyway?
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
We are not 'fucking' or even near that stage!
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
Ho? Where are you, then?
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Well.
He pauses, filling his half-empty cup with water again.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
I dunno, really. We've been seeing each other for a while but...it's no big deal, you know?
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Haven't even bothered with asking him out on a real date. That isn't just us training.
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
Huhu...
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
Should probably fix that. Don't want either of you stalling.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
I'm just kinda nervous, I guess?
Now Meursault was a fixer who was more focused on getting his work done than anyone in these sections. The uncertainty of his feelings was always up in the air, and there's always questions on whether he's interested in things outside of the job.
But this was Ryōshū Gregor was speaking to. She always knows. She's always observing. And most of all, she's his nosy friend.
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
Get your shit together, bug guy. You won't start unless you ask.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
I should be asking you why you're so supportive.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Not gonna, knowing you.
She places a hand on his head and starts ruffling his hair, making Gregor groan. He tries to swat her, but it only earns a light laugh. Their banter gets the attention of a certain fixer, who has been standing in front of them for a while now.
Faust Liu Assoc. Fixer
Excuse me.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Oh-!
Faust Liu Assoc. Fixer
Faust must request that you both refrain from standing near the dispenser. It proves a mild inconvenience for those who need water.
Ryōshū Liu South Section 4 Fixer
M.B.
Gregor Liu South Section 6 Fixer
Yeah, sorry.
With that, the two of them stand out of the way, both of them moving to a better spot to talk of current events.
