Drabble 1: Grocery Store
Modern day AU
A/N: This is the first of hopefully many of LinkxAllenxLink drabbles to come, this pairing is woefully underappreciated. Unbeta'd, so if there are any mistakes please alert me to them. Thank you for reading!
"Walker! Bookman! If you don't stock those shelves correctly I will report you to the manager!" Assistant manager Howard Link barked as he scribbled on his ever-present clipboard. Allen and Lavi sighed in unison and tried to fix whatever minute problem the blond-haired guy was bitching about now.
Lavi waited until Link had walked further down the aisle before turning to Allen and saying, "There the watch dog goes again. He treats this grocery store like his personal empire. Don't you find him annoying as hell, Allen?"
The younger boy stopped stocking and rocked back on his heels, thinking. "I dunno Lavi…he's really strict, but he always lets me take home whatever is left over in the bakery, and when I dropped a box full of paper towels last week he helped me pick it all up and even stocked them with me. He's not too bad."
Lavi stared in shock, mouth wide open. Allen lightly bopped his friend on the head with a box of mac-and-cheese. The redhead, snapped out of his trance, exclaimed, "What! I've been here 8 months and I've never known the assistant manager to be nice to anyone! Why you?" Lavi pouted as he was hit with the box again.
"Don't be rude. Maybe it's because I'm new here?"
Lavi shook his head, red hair held back by a bandana flopping everywhere. "That can't be it. I was once new too and he still treated me like a serf." He turned and eyed his friend and coworker with his one good eye. Allen was otherworldly, with the coloring of a ghost if not for the bright red scar on his face. He was very pretty, all-in-all.
Lavi's smile took on a teasing light. "Hmm, I think I figured it out Allen! Maybe Link has a crush on y-"
"Get back to work or, so help me, I will see you both fired!" Link bellowed. Allen and Lavi scrambled to stock shelves, both too busy to notice the blush their coworker sported as he stalked away to harass other slackers.
