Kenji walked into the office, nervous about his first day with the new team. As he approached his desk, he noticed a tall, handsome man standing by the window, sipping a cup of coffee. The man turned around, and their eyes met.

"Ah, you must be Kenji," Sora said with a warm smile. "Welcome to the team. I'm Sora, your team leader."

Kenji felt a flutter in his chest as he shook Sora's hand. "Nice to meet you, Sora-san," he replied, trying to sound calm.

As they chatted, Kenji couldn't help but notice the way Sora's eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled, or the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck. He felt a spark of attraction, but quickly pushed it aside. He was here to work, not to get distracted by his handsome team leader.

But as the day went on, Kenji found himself stealing glances at Sora, wondering what lay beneath his polished exterior...

: As the day progressed, Kenji was impressed by Sora's leadership skills and the way he effortlessly commanded the team's respect. But despite his professionalism, Kenji caught glimpses of a more relaxed Sora, who would occasionally crack a joke or smile warmly at his colleagues.

During lunch, Kenji found himself sitting next to Sora in the office cafeteria. They chatted about everything from work projects to their favorite foods and hobbies. Kenji was surprised by how easy it was to talk to Sora, and how much they had in common.

As they finished their lunch, Sora turned to Kenji and said, "Hey, would you like to grab a drink with me after work? I'd love to get to know you better outside of the office."

Kenji's heart skipped a beat as he hesitated for a moment. Was this a date? Or just a friendly gesture? He looked into Sora's eyes, searching for answers, but all he saw was a warm, genuine smile.

"Sure, I'd love to," Kenji replied, trying to sound casual despite the butterflies in his stomach.

As they parted ways to head back to their desks, Kenji couldn't help but wonder what the evening might bring...

After work Sora and Kenji headed for a drink while chatting they were astonished to see that they were living in the same apartment floor Sora's just opposite Kenji . As they sipped their drinks, Sora and Kenji continued to chat and laugh together. The conversation flowed easily, and they found themselves lost in each other's company.

As the evening wore on, Sora glanced at his watch and said, "I should probably get going. I've got an early meeting tomorrow."

Kenji nodded in agreement, and they settled the bill. As they stepped out of the bar, Sora asked, "Hey, which direction are you headed? I can walk with you."

Kenji pointed towards his apartment building, and Sora's eyes widened in surprise. "No way! I live in that building too!"

Kenji's jaw dropped as they approached the entrance. "What floor do you live on?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.

Sora grinned mischievously. "I live on the 10th floor. How about you?"

Kenji's eyes met Sora's, and they both burst out laughing. "I live on the 10th floor too!" Kenji exclaimed.

As they stepped into the elevator, Sora turned to Kenji with a sly smile. "And which apartment number do you live in?"

Kenji's heart skipped a beat as he replied, "I live in 1005."

Sora's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Well, isn't that convenient? I live in 1006 – right across the hall from you!"

They headed back together. While Sora was about to enter his room he asked Kenji igf he will like for them to go to work together

Kenji's heart fluttered at the suggestion. "I'd love that," he replied, trying to sound casual despite the excitement building up inside him.

Sora smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Great! I'll meet you here tomorrow morning at 8 am?"

Kenji nodded, feeling a sense of anticipation wash over him. "Sounds like a plan."

As Sora turned to enter his apartment, Kenji called out, "Sora-san?"

Sora turned back, a questioning look on his face. "Yes?"

Kenji's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Do you mind if I call you Sora instead of Sora-san?"

Sora's expression softened, and he smiled warmly. "I'd like that, Kenji."
