Authors note: Hello, this is my first fanfiction. I hope you guys enjoy this shitpost.
Maki and Celestia working at Hot Topic
It was another day at Hope Mall, but this was a special day. It was the first day in which Maki Harukawa would work in one of the stores: Hot Topic.
"... and we don't have our own restrooms, so try to endure it." Said Celestia, her coworker.
Maki crossed her arms and looked to the shop entrance "We could use the public bathrooms, you know?"
"Public bathrooms? Who do you think I am? I am not a peasant" The gothic lolita looked at the girl with twintails, she grinned.
Celestia started to work there a year ago. She wasn't working there for pleasure, she had a big debt to pay and she refused to sell any of her expensive dresses. It wasn't that bad, most of the customers there looked at her like some goal and believed every single word while buying low quality mock ups.
Maki on the other hand was there to get her precious merchandise, all the fandom fashion she ever wanted and needed was there. Money was secondary, Shadow the Hedgehog was her top priority.
Maki decided to be in the aisles, attending customers, while Celes was at the cash register. A boy dressed in black clothes came by, his hat covering most of his face. Maki recognized him, it was her classmate Shuichi Saihara. He approached her, and with sweat running trough his face he asked:
"Um... Do you have any of the Kingdom Hearts 3 merch...?"
"Yes, anything in special?" Maki raised an eyebrow, she already knew that the detective boy was a huge KH fanboy, but she didn't expect him showing up to her workplace.
"Two matching hoodies, one of them is for a girl..." His face turned a bright red, the edgelady looked at him. "The ones with the heartless logo"
Maki felt a murderous intent, she also wanted one of those. The idea of having to sell two of those to the emo kid and his bimbo girlfriend gave her a bitter taste in the mouth. "She is a large size right?"
Shuichi nodded in silence while Maki took the goodies, they even had the antennae and eyes of the heartless. She handed them to her classmate, he stood there for a few seconds, awkwardly. "Um... Should I go to the cashier?
Maki's red eyes looked at his, they were the eyes of the reaper itself. He almost ran to Celes, paid and went out of the shop while saying a soft and almost inaudible "Thank you"
