Noel was trying very hard to make an impression on his boss, so when he heard his secretary was on leave of absence he quickly volunteered his younger brother for the job.
“As long as he can spell.” were Damon’s words. Noel just hoped Liam would behave and hopefully know how to spell.
“You what?”an indignant Liam said. “So yer just gonna send me off like that?”
:No one’s sending ya off, it’s only temporary,” Noel replied trying to calm his little brother. “You’ll be back to being my file boy in no time,” he said giving Liam a pat on the head. “Now hurry up we gotta meet Damon…”
“Oh you didn’t tell me it was him,” Liam said perking up, smiling. “I wouldn’t mind workin’ under him.”
Noel didn’t like the way he said that but he ignored it, he’s just trying to wind me up he told himself.
They walked up to a door and knocked.
They heard a few muffled voices and then someone stuck his head out.
“What is it Gallagher?” an annoyed bespectacled face said.
“'ello Coxon, I just came ‘round to deliver Albarn’s substitute secretary.”
“Oh yes, quite,” Graham looked Liam up and down, unsure, but stepped aside and let them in.
“Oh I see you brought me Gallagher jr. how kind of you.”
Both Liam and Damon were looking each other up and down.
“I hope he won’t be too much trouble, let me know if he is I’ll set him straight,” Noel replied.
“So,” he stood directly in front of Liam. “Are you good at taking dictation?”
Liam gulped.
“Yeah man I can take it.”
Graham was shaking his head and mumbling something to himself and Noel was getting annoyed.
“Well if you guys would be so kind as to get back to work,” Damon said loudly. “After all we are trying to run a business.”
Damon quickly walked , more like pushed, Graham and Noel to the door.
“Damon what about lunch?”
“I’m not hungry,” and closed the door in Graham’s face.
“What are you looking at Gallagher? Off to work you heard!”
////
It was around lunch time and Graham was starting to feel peckish.
“Anyone else hungry?”
“I could eat,” Alex answered. “It’s a bit early..”
“Dave?”
“Um, yeah I guess.”
“I’ll just you know,” Graham said passing his hands through his hair nervously. “Ask Dames what he wants, you know…” Alex and Dave looked at him smiling. “To eat you know, he might want to be eating..”
“Yeah I’m sure you checking in on Damon has nothing to do with that hot new secretary..” Alex said rolling his eyes.
“I’m surprised you’re not worried Graham,” Dave teased good naturedly. “Liam’s slept with have the blokes and most girls in this office.”
“Yeah that Gallagher, he sure can give you a hand when you need one,” Alex continued.
Graham looked pale and worried.
“Um,” he said bumping into the file cabinet. “I gotta check on that lunch thing…”
he walked away rather briskly leaving Alex and Dave chuckling by the watercooler.
“You didn’t even ask what we wanted!” Alex yelled after him but Graham was already gone.
“Graham deserves better,” Alex started.
“Not this again.” Dave rolled his eyes.
“What? Damon’s a hoe! Tell me it isn’t true!”

Graham walked towards Damon’s office. I mean sure he was unfaithful and sure he knew that Gallagher was a tart but surely they weren’t doing anything?? I mean it’s only been a few hours since they were introduced.
When he reached the front desk he saw Liam was not at his desk. So he looked around, made sure there were no witnesses, and put his ear to the door.
He didn’t hear much except some thumping. Maybe they were moving furniture?
He pressed his ear harder on against the door.
///
“Oh fuck Liam, you sure know how to use that mouth of yours.”
“Shut up and fuck me already,” Liam said sitting on the desk and briging Damon in closer by his belt loops.
“Yeah you want it?”
“Just make it quick I gotta meet my brother for lunch.”
Graham was repulsed he felt his face turn hot. He was tired of being humiliated. This time he was going to get even.

Noel was sitting at his desk daydreaming, a stack of papers lay in his 'IN’ bin. He was bored, work was boring. He was about to shut his eyes when a tired looking Graham walks into his office and closes the door behind him, which was odd since him and Noel were never that close of colleagues.
“What you get lost on your way to the…”
Noel couldn’t finish his sentence because Graham grabbed him by the shirt and kissed him.
“What the fuck?”
“Um, I’d like it if we had sex, um, together, right now.”
“What the..”
Graham awkwardly pushed Noel back into his seat and sat on his lap.
“You’re a bit heavy,” Noel commented.
“Sorry, um,” and then he tried to re-position himself but it made things worse and more awkward.
He then ran his hands through Noel’s hair ruffling it, much to Noel’s bemusement.
“What this doesn’t do it for you? Do you want me to call you Daddy?”
“What the fuck is going on!?”
And Graham started kissing him and unbuttoning his shirt and grinding himself on him.
Then the door flew open.
“What the fuck is goin’ on in here?” a familiar voice rang.
“Holy fuck!” Damon said.
Him and Liam were there at the door.
“I was just comin’ to getyou for lunch…”
“And I was going to look for you Graham.. but I see your busy.” Damon started giggling.
“You fuckin’ slut!” Liam practically yeled. 'And then yer on a bout me getting’ around and yer fookin’ this bespectacled office boy.”
“Liam I’m not fookin’ we weren’t… we weren’t. I swear. Can you get off me? I don’t even know what this is about!”
Graham stood up and rearranged his glasses.
“This guy just walks in and starts licking my face.”
“I didn’t lick your face and even if I did you certainly weren’t protesting.”
Damon was howling with laughter. Soon several of the office employees were gathered around whispering.
“I just thought that maybe I’d you know.. well that is I heard you and Liam in the room..”
“We weren’t doing anything Graham,” Damon said placing his arm around him. “We were just um..”
“Moving furniture man.”
“Exactly, what you heard was probably that.”
“Then why is Liam wearing your tie around his neck? And why you have those hickies?”
“Um well..”
“Did you sleep with my brother?”
“Well um lol, I thin k it’s lunch time why don’t we all just..”
Noel walked upto him and punched him in the eye.
“C'mon Liam you’re goin’ home..”
“But Noel!”
“Get yer arse outside now!”
Liam made the 'call me’ gesture at Damon before he left causing Noel to drag him out by his ear.
“You ok?” Graham saidfinally. “You know you deserved it.C'mon I’ll put some ice on that.”
Damon put his arm around him as they walked out of the room.
“You weren’t really going to sleep with him?”
“Yes I was,” Graham said defiantly but then he caught Damon’s eyes and all his fake bravado faded away. “No. But I was gonna make you think I did.”
“Your such an idiot,” and he kissed Graham on the cheek.
“Wash your mouth first god knows where Gallaghers been.”
“Oh, I know where it’s been.”
And Graham pushed Damon away playfully.
