After seeing the phrase, "promoted to love interest", I REALLY felt the need to post this.


 * Tom sits in Pixelberry studios, twiddling his thumbs nervously. A young man leaves the interview room and stops right in front of him.

"Hey, kid," the man says, prompting Tom to look up, sweating profusely. "You've got this."

Tom sucks in a sharp breath and walks into the interview room. A woman with squarish-rimmed glasses sits at a table before him, straightening papers into a neat file. She beckons him over with one of her bony fingers, and he nervously sits down.

"Mr. Sato, you know we've been making changes around here ever since this new book was announced," she says, an unreadable gaze cast upon the young man. "That being said, I need to inform you of something that cannot got unsaid any longer."

Tom swallows hard. He knows this is the moment where they cut him loose, just another character thrown into the void and forgotten forever.

"Some of the other executives and I have been talking, and we've agreed that you deserve a promotion," the woman says, her stern voice unwavering, but a small smile spreading across her lips.

"A promotion!" Tom exclaims, nearly jumping out of his seat. "Truly? What's my new position?!"

The woman smiles wider. "Love interest."**
