I was on the Craigslist and found an ad with the one in this story, thus it gave me inspiration to write this. Credits go to them as well.

"Please! You've gotta let me work longer! I need the extra pay!"
"I'm sorry, Roxas, but it's past seven. You know the law. I'm not allowed to let you work late or for too many hours. I'm sorry, really." My boss, called DiZ by all of the employees at McDonalds, pats my shoulder and heads back to his office. I sigh, grab my backpack and keys and leave the fast food restaurant.
As I drive home in my Ford Escort, my phone rings. I let it go to voicemail because using my phone while driving is at the top of my Things-I-Would-Never-Do-Because-I'm-A-Respectable- Person List. Whoever called doesn't call again so it was probably a friend or family member. They all know about my call-and-drive pet peeve.
I pull onto the driveway of my family's small surburban home and glare at the 'For Sale' sign with so much intensity that it could burst into flames. It would've too if Sora hadn't knocked on my window.
My twin flashes a huge smile and gestures for me to roll the window down. I do so, put my hands back on the steering wheel and say,
"Hey, Sora. What's up?"
"Hey, Roxas. Um, not much, but...could you do me a favor?" He begins. I didn't know it was possible but his smile gets bigger. "Drop me off at Riku's?"
I sigh and let my hands fall from the steering wheel. "Come on, Sora. I've got homework to do and I'm exhausted from work."
"PLEASE, Roxas! We haven't seen each other since, like, five hours ago. And you won't have to pick me up. I'm sleeping over."
"Does Mom know?" I ask.
"Duh!" He says, as if it's something everyone should automatically know. "I told Mommy before she left for work."
I raise an eyebrow when he says 'Mommy'. Sora knows how to play the game. He acts like a little kid and isn't given much responsibility, meaning he has more time to fool around, especially with his 'friend', Riku.
"Get in, dork." I say and roll the window up.
Sora hurries over to the passenger side and hops in. He puts on a grumpy face and snaps,
"Mommy said you can't call me a dork."
"That's like telling you that you can't be gay. Either way, we'll both break the rules."
Sora lets out a huff and frustratingly puts his seatbelt on as I pull out of the driveway.
On the fifteen minute drive, I can't help but wonder how my twin became gay. I used to think that it was because I was so straight that there wasn't any straightness left for him. But I guess it must've started when he and Riku reached puberty. I swear, Riku never had the same light green eyes again. After puberty, they became dark with lust whenever he looked at Sora. I used to debate running to my room whenever he came over because I was frightened that Riku would just pounce onto him. But I stayed since I didn't really want Riku to confuse naive little Sora into taking his pants off.
In the end, no matter how much I tried to protect Sora, I couldn't stop it. The little perv wanted it too.

"Okay, get out, Sora." I grumble when we park in front of Riku's house.
"Thanks, Roxas. Love you!" Sora slips out of the car and heads to the front door. I wait until Riku opens to make sure my brother makes it inside and begin to pull out when I can't help but peek at Sora as he wraps his arms around Riku's neck and hugs him tightly. Riku lets his hands fall to Sora's waist and twists his face into the brunette's neck. I chuckle lightly.
Sora looks so innocent to everyone else but to me, he looks like the kind of guy that would be just the opposite in the bedroom.
"...Naughty, naughty, naughty..." I mumble to myself.

When I finally make it home, I flop in front of my computer and immediately boot it up. This Friday night, I have the house all to myself and I don't plan to be like practically any other teen and have a wild party. No, I'm too responsible for that. Well, that and I've got better things to do like find another job for when McDonalds is following the law too diligantly.
Having two jobs will be the smartest way to earn munny since having one isn't enough and since Mom said that I'm not allowed to sell my organs.
The best thing to do is find something under the radar of the government so they won't track me down and make me have one job. Where's a place that gives out jobs that float right under the government's censor? A place where a sixteen year old like myself could get a reasonable job and earn a reasonable amount of munny for a reasonable amount of labor?
As I'm pondering such a place, my computer finally loads and a website that I guess Sora had been on while I was at work pops up. Apparently, he was looking for a puppy. My eyes widen when I see the website name and a lightbulb flickers above my head.
"Tch...now I have to buy another lightbulb." I mutter and look back at the screen. I gasp as an idea pops into my head, "That's it! I'll use Craigslist to find another job!"
I made Roxas drive a Ford Escort because I was told that that was a cheap car that people in Roxas' situation would drive...He's supposed to be poor. I put him in a Toyota Supra by accident but changed it immediately. Those are expensive.
