The four young men studied each other across the table.
First, we have the two young men, on the right side. They were tall and handsome, both looked to be in their late twenties, wearing slightly arrogant expressions on their faces and were of Italian decent, but that is where the similarities ran out.
The shorter of the two had exotic silver hair, which he wore down to his shoulders, his eyes were a beautiful, piercing, aquamarine that showed no emotion, although he smiled somewhat fondly at the young man sitting across from him.
The man sitting next to him was a cocky-looking red-head almost dangerously thin, his green eyes reminiscent to emeralds, alight with unreasonable glee, as if inviting everyone to share a joke with him.
The blonde sitting across from the red-head wore a scowl that looked as if it were fighting to transform into a more pleasant expression, but he refused to smile at the other man.
Next to him was a smiling young man that could only be his brother, twin maybe, in his early twenties, his brown hair defied all gravity, making him look impossibly child-like.
From the way the four were dressed it was obvious they were having some sort of business deal, doing well to be friendly (except the blonde) and joking whenever the opportunity arose.
Let's join them shall we?
Riku could tell who was supposed to be the boss here, but he also knew which of the two brothers he really needed to impress.
"So, Sora, really it's a win, win situation for you and your business partner."
The brunette man bit his lip anxiously, unsure how he could let his new friend down gently.
"Ri-kun, I'm not sure-"
"Riku You're trying to sell us a truck-load of shitty rubber ducks!"
"Aww, come on, Roxy throw us a bone, we're not trying to cheat ya'!" Intervened the charming red-head.
Silence.
The four men, no matter their differing personalities, knew that in this business it was extremely unwise to use the word 'cheat' in any context.
"-Ahem- welllll, em, like I was saying Sora, Roxas, Axel, really its not just the rubber ducks! Seriously, though, those were just a joke. I mean what kinda guys would you be if you turned down the chance to invest in this sort of sale."
"Once again, Riku; shitty. Rubber. Ducks."
"Roxas!"
"Sora, brother, you have to learn to be a bit more stern; no no."
Axel took this as a cue to step in, "But, boys, this is state of the art stuff. And how can you say 'no' to this face?"
He plastered on a suggestive smirk.
Roxas leaned forward in his chair, so he was face to face with the man, when inches were separating the two of them he took a deep breath and shouted,
"NO!"
It took a great deal of self control for Axel to keep his cool smirk, and not fall backwards in his chair.
Ignoring the startled glances their table was receiving from other patrons to the restraunt, Riku smiled at the brothers,
"Very well, boys I can take a hint, we'll be seeing you two again I hope. Come, Axel." He got to his feet pulling his business partner with him.
"Yeah! Here's our card!" Bubbled a relieved Sora, passing a cream card to the silver-haired man.
"Thanks, fellas we'll call ya' then." Axel said and with a final, suggestive, wink at Roxas, left with Riku.
"Christ, didn't that just go spectacularly." Said Roxas, sarcastically.
"I know what you mean, they're not doing too good are they? Riku was wearing that same suit last night at the club." Said Sora, concern lacing his voice.
Roxas just frowned.
After a while, Roxas' frown transformed into an awful scowl.
"And the jackasses left us with the bill."
