Work Text:
Scara heaves out a breath of air as he hits the back of his head. He didn’t want to be at work. He’s been living at the office for three days now and if he stays any longer, he’s going to lose his shit. Why the hell didn’t the company hire other translators, other than him?! He was the only one working on this damn manuscript and research papers for stuff he didn’t understand!
Sure, he shouted at the other translators for not being fast enough but that’s because they really weren’t fast enough! It’s not like Scara should be complaining that much though. Since everyone else quit, Scara made a deal to the company to take the people’s salaries and in return Scara would finish translating within a week. And the boss agreed. Scara squeezed his fingers against his pen at the thought of it. Mr. Kaveh was against it at first but seemed convinced after some gray haired guy told him to agree.
If Scara ever saw him in the office again, he would skin him and his fucking boyfriend. Cyno, that man’s boyfriend, was the security guard of the office and every damn time he passed by the break room; he saw the security guard and that man holding hands or cuddling and if that door was closed, they were making out it made Scara fucking sick.
They were so damn lucky to have each other at the same workplace while Scara was ripping his hair out and screaming in the middle of the night, unable to meet his own boyfriend. Sure Itto was texting him messages like “Did you eat yet? c:” or “Have a good day at work >:D” which was super fucking cute but he told him not to text him so he could focus and it was so difficult to work when he knew he could quit at this very moment and just melt into his arms.
After this job, Scara was going to buy Itto as many lollipops as he wanted. Actually he’s going to buy the entire lollipop industry for him. Was he eating alright now? He wasn’t going to let Itto eat the same thing for an entire week. Last time Itto ate straight chicken wings for Scara sent him enough money to order meals for a week because he was going to finish this fucking job.
He can just hope that Itto isn’t only ordering junk food now. He’s probably eating a bunch of snacks because of his streaming. Scara sighs, opening his phone and leaning his head against the desk. He stares at his notifications. All of them are messages under “Beloved."
“Do your best at work!!!!”
“Thoma’s over right now in case you come back today :D”
“He said something about teaching me safety basics idk ://”
“Do you want me to order you food?”
“Wait I am using ur money”
“Sorry I’m missing you rn :c”
“I hope you’re getting enough sleep babe >:D”
“I LOVE YOU!!!”
“It’s not 3AM shhhhhh”
“Babe I can cook right”
“Chats saying I can’t :c”
Scara chuckles to himself. The most Itto could do without starting a fire was stir fry. It’s not like Scara thinks Itto can’t cook but he tried to make an entire meal for his birthday and it ended up with Scara waking up to the screaming smoke alarm. As long as Itto learned a few basics, it should be fine for him to cook. Thank fuck Thoma was nice enough to help Itto with the basics.
Scara puts his phone down and sighs, staring back down at the pile. Two more packets left. Scara hopes to never work with Mr. Kaveh ever again because if they do, he wouldn’t be able to hold back on how shit his Japanese was. His handwriting was… it was actually quite good. It just annoyed Scara how good his handwriting was then how shitty his spelling was.
Whatever project is happening in Inazuma was being saved due to Scara’s translations and thank fuck it was because otherwise it would’ve all gone to shit. The only downside was that Scara didn’t know any of these architecture terms so he had to put in work learning about a subject he did not give a single shit about. At least he was also getting ten percent of whatever Mr. Kaveh was getting out of it.
“Working late again?” Mr. Kaveh asks, placing a cup of tea on the table. Why wouldn’t he work late? He’s going to get at least triple the original pay. Scara merely nods, his eyes focused on his pen. “Looks like you’ll finish up tonight.” If he keeps going at this failed attempt of small talk, Scara was going to choke him.
Mr. Kaveh pushes the cup towards him. “You can leave it in a pile on your desk when you’re done.” Scara bites back his words, glancing up at Mr. Kaveh. Mr. Kaveh chuckles awkwardly, putting his hands in the air. “No need to glare.”
“I’m not.” Mr. Kaveh blinks. “Sorry.” Scara sighs, picking up the cup and taking a sip before going back to writing. “Why are you trying to warm up to me?” “In case I have to hire you again.” Scara squeezes his thumb against his pen, his eye twitches as he glances back up at Kaveh. “Maybenot.” Kaveh quickly spits out.
“I’m fine if you hire me Mr. Kaveh.” Scara mutters through his teeth. “But hire a better team next time.” Kaveh shakily nods his head. “Yep, yep, will keep that in mind next time!”
Scara sighs, letting all the anger run out of him. “And take more Japanese classes, I don’t even know how you managed to spell half of this.” “Oh.” Kaveh crosses his arms. “I used Duolingo.” Scara’s could feel his lips snap together as his eye twitched. He fucking used Duolingo to translate a damn research paper?
Itto sighs as stares at the screen closer. Puzzles were not his strong suit. Maybe if his boyfriend was here to help. But he knew how hard Scara had to focus to get his work done. Especially within a week? Why did his boss force him into a position like that?! And with no team working with him! He must be so stressed out right now and Itto couldn’t do anything about it.
“Chat, I have no idea what to do.” He mumbles into the mic as his avatar walks around in the game. He looked over at his other monitor to see the chat confused as well, while others were laughing at his pain. He tried again, walking right, left, forward, then fell. Itto presses his lips together.
LMAO
wtf is happening i just got here
YOU GOT THIS ITTO!!!
lol
game 5 itto 0
he's gonna pick another game again lmao
WHO GAVE THIS GAME TO HIM
go right lol
nah cause i dont even know whats happening either
“I can’t believe one of you is keeping track of my losses!” Itto laughs. Itto decided it would be a great idea for his fans to suggest games to him. What he didn’t expect was that the games made for him were made to make him frustrated. It wasn’t working honestly. It just kind of made Itto sad instead. He got so upset at a game earlier that he skipped that one and moved on.
He wanted to play all the games that his fans made for him but some of them were plain evil. He would go back to that game when he felt confident enough to. “Chat, remember when I told you about Peach working? I know you guys love hearing about him.” The chat is filled with yeses and Itto’s own “yeah!” emote, which is just a drawing of Itto holding a sign that says “YEAH!”
“So I told you guys that he picked up a job that wanted him to work for a month or two but then shortened it to a week because…” Itto shrugs. “He didn’t tell me.” Itto clears his throat. “But they’re giving him so much work! He’s been at the office for a week because that’s when the deadline ends! Well… It’s been like four days but I feel a bit lonely without him in the house.”
awwww :((
A WEEK???
what does peach do for a living??
what the fuck?
SUE THEM!!!!!!!
im new here, whos peach?
WHAT THE HELLLL
bro is living in the office at this point wth
A WEEK IS INSANE
Itto grumbles to himself as his ingame character falls to their death… again. “Oh, Peach is my boyfriend. We call him Peach because he likes eating peaches on stream.” Itto sighs, watching the game over screen fill his monitor… again. “Oh and Peach does a lot of freelancing. That’s all I can tell you! He travels a whole bunch to work. That’s why I don’t talk about him much.”
LMAO
“dont talk about him much” lol
PLEASE
u talk about him at the end of every stream
theres a clip of itto talking about peach for 30 mins before actually playing minecraft
FR?? LMAO
thats crazy bc….
Did Itto really talk about Scara that much? No he doesn’t…. He thinks. “Do I really talk about Peach that much?” The chat instantly fills with “yes.” Itto puffs his lips up, crossing his arms. “Nah… Anyway! I don’t know what’s going on completely because Peach came home after his first day and was like, I’m going to stay at the office for a week and don’t text me this is important work, but I still text him morning and goodnight because…” Itto squeezes his arms to his chest. “I miss him.” He mumbles.
Ito doesn’t even bother looking at chat’s reaction after saying that. “And that was the last time I saw him… Before you guys get concerned that he got kidnapped or something, we have trackers on our phones for each other.” Itto groans at the tenth game over screen.
“Chat, should I skip this game or keep going?” Itto asks, walking his avatar in circles.
skip
lolll
please skip itto
SKIP
nah keep going
itto is tired of yall
i cant believe hes still playing wtf
SKIP PLZ
this is painful to watch
“Alright!” Itto stretches his arms. “Fate has decided to skip! I’m sorry to the person that made this, it’s not like your game is bad or anything, I just can’t beat it. I’m sure the game is great to anyone who could beat it though!” Itto smiles at the camera and puts his thumb up.
“Okay… Onto the next game…” Itto scrolls through his twitter replies on his second monitor. Maybe he should avoid playing fan made games for now. He’ll play them after the stream or make a seperate stream for them. “What do y’all think about a dating sim? Dating Itto with… well I’m Itto!” Itto chuckles. The chat fills with joy as Itto hovers his mouse over the game. Itto jumps as his phone dings on his desk. Scara! Itto smiles ear to ear as he grabs his phone.
SCARABABY
im outside your door with food and boba
SCARABABY
omg finally you saw the message ive been waiting for 5 minutes
IM SORRY BABE :(
“Peach is here!” Itto hums into the mic, muting and turning off his webcam. Scara did not like being on stream but didn’t mind talking to chat from time to time. The chat adored Scara, to the point where they made dedicated clips and compilations for him. The fans also made complications whenever Itto talked about him and the videos were usually twenty minutes long… They probably just put a lot of short clips in the video.
Itto jumps out of his seat, slamming the door open and finding… “Scara!” Itto smiles widely as he wraps his arms around Scara. “Boba and food on the ground, don’t step on it.” Itto nods, picking Scara off the ground and swaying him from side to side.
“I missed you!” “I missed you too!” Scara shouts. Itto was swinging him around again! “Sorry!” Itto shouts. Scara chuckles as his feet touch the ground again. Itto always got really excited when Scara was home. One time he had takeout in his hand but Itto tackled him to the ground as soon as he came through the door or that time Itto didn’t notice the drink in Scara’s hand and Itto had to do a second round of laundry. If you ask him, he’d say he’s been doing better at not tackling Scara! He let him talk about where the food was this time!
Itto could feel his lips melt into a smile as Scara cups Itto’s cheek. Scara was short and Itto was tall. If Scara wanted to kiss him then he would have signals to have Itto bend down to do so. Sometimes Scara would stand on the end of his toes to cup his cheek, when they were holding hands he would tap the back of his hand twice, or he’d outright say it. Sometimes either one would tap against their lips if they wanted to kiss.
He missed it when Scara gave him those little signals. If he wanted him too, Itto would fall to his knees if Scara said the word. He missed his lips so much. He missed it when Scara gave him such lazy kisses in the morning, kisses for when he left to work, kisses when Itto entered the kitchen, kisses for when he asked, kisses when it was time to bed, kisses when Itto started streaming or kisses when Scara just wanted to kiss him. Even when he entered in the middle of Itto’s stream.
The way Scara called him. The way a smile melted so easily on his face around him. The way his arms wrapped around Itto’s waist before leaving. The way Itto held onto his waist at night, how beautiful his eyes were, how smooth and pretty his skin was, his hair and how Itto loved running his hands through it until it was ruined but he didn’t mind.
“Streaming?” Scara asks in a whisper. “Yeah. Want me to stop?” Itto mumbles to him. “No, it's fine.” Scara smiles. Itto doesn’t really remember when they first started mumbling to each other like this. But it made Itto feel nice. It was like the two were in their own world where all they could hear was each other. And they loved hearing each other talk. Itto loved being with Scara and Scara loved being with Itto. If Scara somehow wanted Itto to sleep on the couch when he was home, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to sleep without him. It was always hard to sleep without him.
“I’ll join okay?” Scara holds the sides of Itto’s head, ruffling his hair around. “Aren’t you tired?.” Itto frowns. It was late. Close to midnight even. Scara had to work through an entire week, he doesn’t have to do anything tonight. In fact, he’ll end the stream right now! Scara chuckles, grabbing Itto’s wrist and kissing the palm of his hand. Itto could feel his face burn up as the ends of Scara’s lips soften into a smile. “I can’t be tired with you beloved.” ” “Fancy way to say no…” Itto mumbles as his lips quiver.
Scara laughs, placing another kiss on his lips. “I love you Itto.” Itto cups Scara’s cheek, rubbing his thumb under his eye. Itto can feel his cheeks turn pink just at the sight of him. “I love you Scara.”
Scara sits in Itto’s lap, sipping on his peach milk tea as Itto struggles with a simple puzzle. Yet again. Itto sighs, scratching his head. He’s been on this level for a good ten minutes. Scara reaches his hand up to squish both of Itto’s cheeks as he uses his other hand to tap against his keyboard. “Peach…” Itto grumbles. “Shhh, you love me.” Scara smiles. A level complete screen fills the monitor. Itto blinks in surprise as Scara chuckles, kissing the side of Itto’s face.
“How’d you do that?!” Itto shouts. Scara shrugs. “Pretty simple.” Scara melts into Itto’s lap. “Want me to play the rest?” Itto presses his lips together, shyly looking away. “Maybe…” Scara chuckles as Itto pushes his seat in closer for Scara to reach the keyboard. “It’ll be better for your chat to see more level completions than game overs.” “Hey!” Itto pouted, pinching Scara’s cheek. “Sorry, sorry.” Scara giggles.
Itto was awful at puzzle games. Even ones with clear instructions, he would figure that it was something trying to stray him away from the wrong path because it was a puzzle game. At least Scara had fun doing the puzzles for him at times. Whenever Scara had to work from home, he would sometimes call him over to help with a puzzle during streaming. It was cute. Even though he’d be sobbing at his desk.
“Oh, I told chat about your job this week.” Did he talk chat’s ear off? Last time Scara looked up Itto Peach on Youtube, he saw an entire ten minute clip of Itto talking about him instead of playing Minecraft. He only stopped because a zombie ran up behind him. “Mhm, what did you tell them?” Scara asked as the text “GOOD JOB!” filled the screen. Itto’s grip around Scara grows stronger as he pouts his lips. “How they were making you work only a week for a month’s worth of stuff.” “Ah.” Scara shrugged. “I got it done.” Scara got to yell at his boss this time so it wasn't as bad as the other jobs. He couldn’t compare much to having to translate months worth of work in a week though.
Itto frowns. “I know but you must be tired! And you still insisted on playing with me.” “That’s because I miss my boyfriend and want to fall asleep at the same time as him.” Itto’s eyes soften. “I can end the stream.” “Nah I wanna play the dating sim after this.” “Peach…” Itto whines, burying his face in Scara’s hair. He’s not tired. Does Itto know how much sugar is tapioca? Not a lot but it’s enough to keep him awake. “I slept at the office for a bit before coming, alright?” Scara turns his head, kissing Itto’s cheek. “How does chat feel about the stream ending after this game?”
sure
poor itto lmao
whatever the king says ill follow
peach sleep omg
why was peach working for a week???
his boss is a bitch
sleep plz
Scara scoffs. “Don’t say that about my boss. When I get paid, I’m taking Itto away from you all.” The chat fills with awws and boos as Scara rolls his eyes. “But that piece of shit could not do anything on his own, everyone he hired was as useful as a damn rock.” Scara clicks his tongue. He opened his mouth to say more but he could feel Itto’s arms wrap around his waist. “Don’t leave me like that again Peach…” Itto mumbles as he buries his head into the back of Scara’s.
Scara’s heart was suffocating at the way Itto was whining. He missed him. And Scara missed him as deeply as Itto did. He hated sleeping without checking his messages from Itto, he hated not having Itto’s arms wrap around, hated that he couldn’t hear his voice, hated that annoying couple would makeout in the breakroom instead of them and he hated how much he couldn’t just end the stream to do more than kiss him right now!
“I won’t.” Scara mumbles under his breath. Scara’s heart felt so full to the point where it was making him sick. He couldn’t spend any time away from Itto and when he did, he felt so nauseous thinking about being away from him and when they were together, he was going to explode with how much Itto touched him. A pat on the shoulder, a hug, a kiss, his fingers tucking his hair behind Scara’s ear was so much to him when they were apart.
“Itto’s getting sleepy so I’m ending the stream.” Itto pulls his head off of Scara’s head. “Wait what?” Scara had already clicked on the end stream button. Itto blinks as Scara turns his body to him. He wasn’t sleepy. All he did was cuddle up against Scara. Did Scara not like it? He would say something then. He didn’t have to end the stream. Did chat do something? Scara would scold them or turn the chat off completely. Scara’s lips were frowning but his eyes merely stared into Itto’s. What happened?
Itto slowly pulls his arms away but Scara wraps his arms around Itto’s neck before he could get his fingertips off of him! “I missed you a lot.” Scara’s lips press against Itto’s cheek. “I lied. I hate the stream and want to spend time with you.” Itto chuckled, tucking Scara’s hair behind his ear. He’s so pretty. “I told you earlier.” Itto hummed. “Shut up.” Scara sighs, burying his head into Itto’s neck. “I’m tired.” “I’ll bring you to bed.”
Scara groans but doesn’t say anything when Itto picks him up. “I love you.” Scara mumbles in Itto’s ear. Itto presses his lips together to suppress his excitement but can’t help but smile as Scara squeezes his arms around his neck. “I love you Scara!”
