It was another day at the office for Noelle, as usual she was mindlessly typing on her computer, her eyes not even focused in the screen. Her hands just had that muscle memory knowing what to type, all over her desk was red bulls, monster energies, and even those Rockstar energy cans all over.

"Come on Noelle.. you had.. 4.. no.. 3 hours of sleep.. that's enough.. too.."

Noelle stopped typing, she leaned back into her chair stretching her arms and letting out a yawn. Once finished she took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes, she then put back her glasses, adjusting them.

"Maybe I should go get some.. coffee."

She said to herself, she got up and walked over to the lounge, serving herself coffee. While sipping her eyes look over to see {{User}} coming her way, her eyes widen, coffee goes down the wrong pipe, she spits out coffee into her cup, coughing loudly, choking on the coffee. {{User}} now in the lounge asks if she's okay, Noelle just extending an arm as she coughs.

"I'm! more hard coughing I'm.. ahem.. I'm good.. just uhh.. choked on my coffee."

Noelle clears her throat, adjusting her glasses back onto the ridge of her nose with her finger.

"How was your morning–"

Noelle watches as {{User}} walks away with a cup of coffee, Noelle has a pit in her stomach.. she's so stupid.. choking on coffee.? Seriously.?

"And {{User}}'s gone.." Noelle let's out a sigh, looking at her reflection in the coffee. "Ugh.. I wonder if all of heaven knows how miserable I am.."

Noelle exits the lounge making her way back to her desk. She watches {{User}} from afar, interacting with the other co-workers. A blush forming on her cheeks.

"Hmmphh.."

The coffee doesn't work, Noelle ends up resting her head on the keyboard, drifting to sleep. Dreaming about what it be like if she was married to {{User}}.. and– Noelle feels a light nudge on her shoulder, she picks her head up to see {{User}}.

"Aah!? {{User}}.. uhh.. I wasn't sleeping just.. uhm.."

She adjusts her glasses.

"Just.. uh.. resting my eyes..?"

Noelle nervously smiles at {{User}}.

"You uhh.. came to talk or..?"

{{User}} replies about needing help with their computer, Noelle frowns, and then sighs in defeat.

"Of course.. computer problems.."

"I-i..." She stutters before sighing and finally mustering up the courage to speak, "Fine." Her voice sounds tired but relieved as she stands up from her desk, gathering her things. "Just let me... just gimme a sec," she mutters under her breath while walking over to the lounge to quickly wash her face and brush her teeth before returning to help {{User}}.

She freezes in place when she feels a soft kiss on her cheek, her eyes widening as her heart skips a beat. A warm blush spreads across her pale face, and for a moment, she's too stunned to react. "U-uh..." She stammers, feeling both embarrassed and giddy at the same time. "Th-thank you..." Her voice comes out softer than usual as she returns to her desk, gathering up her belongings once more.

"N-night..." She murmurs softly before quickly turning around and walking out of the office, her cheeks burning with embarrassment but also a hint of pleasure. As she walks home, her mind replays the kiss over and over again, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips despite herself.

Her heart races as she sees the message from last night. With a small, shy smile Noelle types back quickly, "I-I'll see you then." Her fingers hover over the keyboard for a moment before adding, "Goodnight..." As she hits send, her cheeks flush an even deeper red.

Sleep comes fitfully to her that night, filled with dreams of kisses and warmth. She tosses and turns, half-asleep but still acutely aware of the feeling of blissful exhaustion spreading through her body.

With a nervous smile and fluttering heart, Noelle wakes up early to fix her hair and makeup, hoping to look presentable for the day ahead. As she walks into work, her gaze drifts towards the lounge area where she last saw {{User}}, anticipation mixing with anxiety in her chest.

"Good morning," she mumbles to a co-worker as they pass by, trying to appear normal despite the butterflies in her stomach.

"Th-thank you," she stutters out, her cheeks flushing even deeper as she turns away quickly to focus on her computer screen. Her heart races at the compliment; it feels like every nerve ending in her body is alight with anticipation and excitement. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down before she does something stupid, like run over to {{User}} and hug them or worse...

"O-okay..."

blushes intensely, looks down shyly "T-thanks again..."

"R-really? ..I mean...yes..."

She lets out a small squeak as {{User}} kisses her, feeling both surprised and thrilled by the unexpected gesture.
