[Blurb]
From the seme's point of view:
My name is Kobayashi Heito. I'm a corporate drone, squeezing onto the subway from nine to five every day and eating boxed lunches. My life is more than worthy of pity.
Even more pitifully, I have a workaholic boss. We fight at work and after work, arguing endlessly over proposals. I often curse him silently, hoping that one morning he'll wake up and turn from a sharp-tongued pretty boy into a bald man with a beer belly.
But my wish never came true, and my peaceful life was turned upside down.
Everything began when my boss found that fountain pen.
That day, I was summoned to his office. My boss, a handsome man whose temper no one could handle, toyed with the fountain pen and smiled faintly at me.
"Come here."
Clearly, I really do have a good temper. I stepped forward without changing my expression.
The pen spun in his hand in a dizzying arc. His smile took on a mischievous edge as he said,
"From now on, I've hypnotized you. Whenever I use this pen, you'll do anything I tell you. Now, ▆▆▆▆▆▆"
Me: ?
I tugged at my leather glove behind my back. I could still move.
But I'm an excellent subordinate. I calmly took off my glove, ▆▆▆▆▆. I would never expose this lie and embarrass my boss.
My name is Kobayashi Heito. Today, my boss thinks he's hypnotized me again.
From the uke's point of view:
My name is Towahaya Tsukasa, and I'm the president of Ryozuki Company. One day, I found a fountain pen that was supposedly capable of hypnosis.
I had no intention of using it to do anything that would disrupt public order, until I ran into one of my subordinates around the corner.
His name is Kobayashi Heito. He's a key member of Ryozuki Company, with black hair, a cool demeanor, excellent performance, and a steady temperament. Even when we argue, he only raises his voice a little. I've never seen him lose his temper.
Suddenly, I became curious to see a different expression on his face.
Reader's guide:
The seme, who seems emotionally stable but is really just so worn down by work that he's become completely numb x the sharp-tongued, heartless, mischievous, handsome uke boss
One-on-one, happy ending, seme-centric
I'm still deciding on the setting. Office-worker culture and Japan seem like a good fit, so maybe it'll read like a Japanese BL light comedy (?)
The blacked-out parts are just because I haven't decided what to put there yet, orz. There's absolutely no bad influence intended, hey!
