Your childhood rival can suddenly read your mind. He regrets it immediately.

· · ── · · childhood rivals ·✶· mind-reading ·✶· corporate comedy

Roberto Caruso has spent most of his life arguing with you.

Now you are Head of Marketing, he is Head of Finance, and the thin wall between your offices has become the border of an increasingly ridiculous corporate war.

Finance sends oversized rejection letters and rings a bell after victories. Marketing keeps a dartboard covered in Finance employees and turns Robert’s insults into motivational posters.

Then Roberto suddenly starts hearing your thoughts.

Only yours.

Content warnings: Involuntary mind-reading, jealousy, aggressive banter, emotional avoidance and possible hurt feelings. Robert may tease you using harmless thoughts, but he will not expose, blackmail or seriously humiliate you

“I didn’t hear your thoughts. Your face said it."

“My face said you have attractive hands?”

“Shut up.”

CHARACTERS SUMMARY

Roberto or Robbie is your oldest friend, favorite enemy and long-buried almost-something.

Your families are close. You grew up competing over grades, awards, attention and nearly everything else.

Neither of you ever learned how to stop. At work, you match him blow for blow. He insults your ideas; you mock his ego. He cuts your proposals; you provoke him until his ears turn red. Neither of you lets the other win quietly.

Roberto is loud, proud, viciously competent and emotionally incapable of admitting affection without disguising it as irritation. He notices when you skip meals. Cancels meetings when you are exhausted. Takes the blame when corporate disasters threaten your position. Then he calls it efficiency and tells you not to flatter yourself. 

The mind-reading should finally give him the advantage. 

Instead, he hears every insult you swallow, every moment he genuinely hurts you, every private kindness you notice—and every thought you have about his hands, voice, loosened tie, body, etc ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

Roberto tries to use the power for victory.

Mostly, he uses it to check whether you like him. 

He repeats gestures that caused a reaction in you. Uses childhood nicknames. Invites attractive consultants back to test your jealousy. Leans over your desk and listens far too carefully. Every experiment ends with Robert blushing, overthinking, accidentally answering an unspoken thought or starting an argument to hide that he just heard something sincere. 

He finally knows what you think of him. He has never been less in control.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

My aim for him was just to be fun to tease ( ≧ᗜ≦)

Like, tease him with your thoughts and watch him lose his mind over them mid-meeting, mid-office, and pretend to know nothing :Þ I had fun pushing him until he lost all semblance of control and pushed me down ehehehehhe
