What's this?! Can it be: Cycoranne lives?! Hellz yeah. [:
Welcome to my latest story in progress. I'll just say one thing very clearly before you read this- Do not expect this to be updated everyday of every month. I will update when I feel like it, or when I'm suddenly inspired by all the wonderful stories I have read.
Okay, ya'll know the disclaimer and shit like that. So onwards! To the story!
..After you read this:
This will contain yaoi. Have a problem with it? Get the fuck out of this story section.
Thank you.
"I thought I could live in your arms,
I'd spend every moment I had with you.
Stay up all night with the stars.
Confess all the faith that I had in you,
I had in you.."
The low chatter of the large store bounced off the walls, the carts tinkling along the bustling isles as people collected their needed goods. Kids squealed every so often, pestering their sleepy-eyed mothers for sugar packed cereals and brightly colored ice creams. Every so often you saw the usual senior citizen hunched over a box of crackers, or an employee slipping through the back door for a much needed smoke. This was all normal for the staff of this Wall Mart super store, who lounged around at their appointed work stations lazily, barely interacting with the steady streams of people passing them.
Riku Leonhart was no exception.
The teen leaned back lazily against his check-out counter, which was currently empty due to the thick metal chain barricading the entrance, listening to his shiny red iPod. He'd been rejecting the customers that hopped the chain, which insisted that he was certainly open. The silver haired male would glance up, his sharp, aqua eyes piercing into the agitated mother/suit clad business man's, and simply told them to 'buzz off'. This, of course, led to the customer complaining to the manager, the manager coming over to give him a half hearted lecture, then he was left alone once more.
"..Cause it's another night,
Another dream wasted on you.."
So he simply sat, staring at the moving conveyer belt as it hummed in the background of his music, his mind wondering off. A sharp tug on his earphones suddenly stopped the music, and brought him back to reality.
"Axel! What the heck, man?!" Riku glared angrily at the said red head, mentally setting fire to his wild spikes on fire. His best friend and co-worker laughed, twirling the long white headphones in his hand with a grin.
"Taking another 'break', are we?" Axel cooed, leaning beside the platinum blonde, who stayed silent. "Fourth one this hour, so far."
"Whatever. I've just been tired lately." Riku replied, staring down a petite old lady heading his way. "Working extra hours just to kill time doesn't help any, either. What time is it anyway?"
Axel brought his slim wrist up to his face, reading the numbers on the midnight black watch. "5:20." He answered, pushing away from the dented counter to face Riku. He gave him a pointed look, his bright green eyes boring into the other boy's aqua orbs, before saunter away toward his own check-out line. He watched his friend's retreating back, catching the redhead muttering something about someone coming around now, and the name Sora.
He reached down to his forgotten earphones, which were still blaring music, and placed them back into his pale ears, the familiar song making him smile. Riku hummed along with the melody, drumming his fingers as he closed his worn eyes. No sooner had the next song started when a loud yell slammed into his ears, causing him to cringe angrily and rip out his headphones. He looked towards the source of the disturbance, noticing that many other people had stopped their bustling about to look, too.
"SORA!" An overly anxious Axel yelled, a huge smile nearly breaking his face in half. Riku quirked a delicate silver eyebrow at his best friend, but curiously followed his gaze toward the store's entrance. He froze, mouth gaping, at the person he saw.
There, standing a couple feet away from the automatic handicap door, stood the hottest guy Riku had ever seen. "Holy shit.." He breathed.
Aqua eyes couldn't help but stare at the petite boy as he made his way toward the lanky redhead, his wild, chocolate brown spikes bouncing slightly with each step. His skin was evenly sun kissed, the tan looking as smooth as silk, as his all black attire only seemed to heighten the glow to it. His face, though still having slight baby fat, was heart-shaped, and held the same tan as the rest of his body. The younger teen had lightly pouted, feminine lips were a soft rose colored, set into an emotionless expression- neither a frown or smile. Though, when Riku trailed up to his eyes, he found that they were obscured by a pair of large black sunglasses.
He saw 'Sora' stopped in front of Axel, and exchanged a short greeting, before averting his eyes form the pair, letting out a breathe he had unconsciously been holding. Suddenly he saw a flash of red and brown as Axel pulled the, what Riku thought, modern aged Adonis toward him. The teen instantly found his gaze fall to the slight swing of Sora's hips. In what felt like forever, they stopped in front of Riku.
"Alrighty," Axel chirped, looking unusually happy. "Riku meet Sora. Sora, this is Riku."
The said silver haired boy smirked, still casually leaning on his check-out counter. "Hey."
Sora stared up at him through his large sunglasses, his expression as emotionless as ever. He inclined his head slightly to show that he acknowledged his presence.
"Riku moved here a couple weeks ago while you were away," Axel explained, oblivious to the stare down happening beside him. "He adapted to the island pretty quickly. We're already good friends. So I told him about a job opening here
"Hm. Welcome." Sora spoke flatly, his voice as empty as his expression. He turned to Axel before speaking once again. "Roxas is coming home early."
Those five words seemingly raised the redhead's excitement ten-fold, the boy jumping up and down on the balls of his feet, bright greens eyes wide. He started rambling incoherently about his current fascination, still excited as ever. Riku had tuned him out when he started, but just kept his eyes locked to Sora's, whom stared up at him unwaveringly. He frowned suddenly, pushing off of the counter top, before turning to walk away from the pair. Axel's ranting faltered as his friend's back grew farther away.
"What? Sora, where're you going?!" He whined, deflating from his good mood rapidly. The brunette simply lifted a tanned hand to half wave, not turning back as he exited out of the store's front entrance. Even Riku felt empty as the boy left, sulking slightly at how little amount of time he spent with him.
Axel visibly pouted. "He'll come back tonight. Just watch out for him, Riku." As his best friend disappear back towards his check out lane, Riku couldn't help but notice the double meaning to his last words.
With a large sigh, he too decided to get back to work, and walked to the chain barricade and unlatched it before sliding behind his counter. Instantly a group of girls pushed into his line, placing mounds of clothing, make up, and a small box of condoms onto the conveyer belt. Not long after that were they pushing their chests toward him as he quickly scanned the items, making sure to roll his eyes when he reached the condoms. One of the girls, a bleached blonde spoke up.
"Hey cutie," She purred, batting her fake eyelashes. Riku swore he heard slight whooshing noises. "Haven't seen you here before. Wanna have some fun?"
Riku wrinkled his nose slightly as he bagged their purchases. "I have plans this week."
"Next week?" The girl asked hopefully.
"Plans to make plans. Being gay helps, too." He all but sneered, handing her the receipt quickly, along with their backs. He smirked at their disgusted expressions, before plastering on an overly bright smile. "Have a nice day!"
"Have a nice day my ass."
Riku smiled.
Kay chicas, first chapter's up. I know that it's short, but that's what I intended. Hopefully I'll try to make them longer next time around.
Send me love --
