《Nontraditional Partners》43
Advertisement
I scan some documents and then look around the floor. Where is he? I think I just saw him, where did he disappear?
I see Lorence walking out of the elevator. He has a grey suit on today and he styled his hair differently.
As always, he has his glasses on his nose, looking really hot.
He talks to some women in blue dress and I wonder what she's telling him? Is she flirting ? No. I hope not, otherwise we would have a talk.
He starts walking my way and I pretend like I don't see him at all. Of course I see him.
I'm waiting for him the whole time.
"Lorence, what a coincidence." I say as he is next to me.
"Oh ... Atila." He looks me up and down, "hello."
"So good to see you. How are you? Are you free? Are you working?"
"Well, we are both working now, but I suppose neither of us is in a rush."
I laugh awkwardly. "Right. Right. I didn't even thank you for helping me at the hall.
You were great."
"You think? I just made you a company."
"No, no. You were like my emotional support person. It was important."
"Alright." He nods and wants to go away.
"So," I grab his hand, "do you want to go somewhere together?"
"Like – where?"
"Ehm, make the coffee?" I ask.
"Coffee. Okay."
"Yeah, let's go to the little coffee kitchen."
"I'm not sure that is for part time jobs too."
"And what are you going to do Lorence? Snitch on me." I smirk, "snitch to Lars.
So scary."
He smiles. "Smart move, but you know we can still fire you."
"I would cry to Soren, Soren would cry to Lars and Lars would fire you for making me cry, and then ... you would probably cry at home."

"I don't cry." He fixes his suit, "I don't have time for tears. I'm a busy man."
"Too busy for a cup of coffee."
"No, I think I could have one cup."

I look at him, moving a bit closer.
"Do you have a partner, Lorence?" I ask sneakily.
"I don't see how that would help your work."
"no, but I'm interested."
"Aren't you supposed to be focusing on your high school studies?"
I frown. "I almost graduated."
"Almost is not it."
"Well, I'm an adult. I do adult things. I have a job. So do you."
"So do I."
"And I'm single." I tell him.
He smiles and looks away. "So am I." he completes. Yes!
"Right, you know I'm kind of an open person. I simply ...don't care who comes to my life. Who ever it is, I'll date them. If they are respectful."
"Hm. Well I wouldn't date everyone." Lorence says, "but ... I also don't settle for just one piece." He moves his glasses.
"I see." Do I? Is he talking about being BI?
"But you should still focus on your studying."
I poke my cheek with my tongue. "Alright. We can continue this talk after my studies."
"Excellent."
"Great."
"Amazing."
"Fantastic."
" ... right." He says and sips the coffee, "I gotta go."

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
