[BONUS]

The office door creaks open.

"Ukai, sir!" A familiar voice calls out.

Ukai perks up, glad to have a distraction from his paperwork, "Hey Hinata, welcome back. How's your mission going?"

Hinata freezes, body halfway through the doorway. "About that," his voice sounds fairly nervous. Ukai identifies an ominous feeling in his gut.

"Can you, um, reject that client?"

Ukai sighed, "I had a hunch that it'll be too hard. You weren't able to find him, huh? There's not even a picture after all."

Rubbing his heads together anxiously, Hinata says, "Actually, that's not the case."

"I kinda... made friends with him?"

It comes across more like a question than an answer and Ukai does a double take.

"YOU WHAT?"

"And, um, we're planning to get a bigger flat and share rent so maybe you have to change my particulars-"

Ukai groans in exasperation, "Unbelievable!"

Slamming his head down on the desk, the man continues as an afterthought, "Well, at least I won't be shocked anymore, no matter what you throw at me."

Hinata grins, finally moving into the office. "With that out of the way, there's someone is like you to meet."

Lifting his head, Ukai notices for the first time that there is a teen behind Hinata, looking rather flustered and hesitating at the entrance.

"Ukai, Kageyama. Kageyama, Ukai."

"Nice to meet you," the older of the two greets, still rather concerned as to why this stranger is here in the headquarters.

"Hinata, you're aware of the security measures we have in place, yes?"

Said teen laughs, "Of course I do, but this is different!" Moving to stand adjacent to Kageyama, he pushed the other forward with a grin.

"This guy was my target, but I've convinced him to try working here instead!"

Ukai's heart stops. "Kageyama, you're- you're Sire-"

A reluctant nod confirms his fears.

Somewhere in the headquarters, Sugawara hears a wail of distress.

"Eh? That sounds like Ukai?"

A/N: I had a great time writing this story, but it would never have been so enjoyable without all your support, so for that, dear readers, I owe you my deepest gratitude.

There's a major exam coming up in a month's time or two (and another one three months later), so I'm still a tad reluctant about it, but here goes:

Thing is, I'm planning to write a sequel to this story. I've already have the main plot points ready, all I need is the time to write it, so if you're interested, please feel free to hang around and check up on me from time to time. Will be introducing a new character, but updates will be slow.

Once again, thank you all for the support. It's greatly appreciated.
