Title: Workaholics Have No Fun
Author: Tysonkaiexperiment
Couplings: Zemyx, Soiku, AkuRoku, LeoClo
Warnings: Mild amounts of cussing, a few violent scenes, some lemons…
Summary: Riku, Roxas, and Cloud drag Zexion, a workaholic, to a club to have some fun. Zexion is reluctant until he meets a singer of one of the bands playing at the club. Zemyx, Soiku, AkuRoku, and LeoClo
Why This Story? : Erm… it just came to me… I saw Zexion as a complete workaholic, and it sorta clicked. And so I figured, why the hell not? Hehehe, well here it is.
X.X.X.X.X.X
Zexion Perot, age 24, wasn't exactly the easy-going type, everyone around him noticed. He was always working or reading on his work and was never seen without doing something work-related.
His friends often worried about him, they were more worried than anyone else was, and anyone else was often checking up on Zexion just to make sure he was really okay.
And that's when Riku Umino, age 23, decided that he needed to take action and stop Zexion's usual routine.
After conversing with his two friends, Roxas Oumura (an intern), age 18, and Cloud Strife, also age 25, Riku decided on one place, and one place only.
Destiny Islands.
Everywhere else had places like drug places and corporate offices.
Destiny Islands was known for its secluded area, and the best clubs anywhere.
So on this bright, sunny, and cheerful (Zexion noticed these things with hatred) day they got off their plane and landed on Destiny Islands.
They told Zexion at first, they were going for a business meeting, but half way through the plane ride, he squirmed it out of Cloud at they were going for fun.
By the time Zexion stopped ranting about the whole affair, they booked a hotel and had their plans for a two-week stay at Destiny Islands.
X.X.X.X.X.X
Riku sighed, walking down the street with groceries in hand. 'Is there anything available right now that will get my mind off of Zexion's stressing??'
That's when Riku noticed it.
A Coffee Bean!
SWEET GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY!!
Riku quickly mumbled out a prayer that he would do prayers from now on, before rushing into the store. He stood in the shop, watching the quaint place. It was cozy and warming, it reminded Riku so much like home.
"You new here?" A girl's voice shot in.
Riku looked over and read her nametag.
Kairi.
"Yeah, came for vacation for two weeks."
She smiled, her short red hair swaying and violet eyes half closed in mirth, "Well then, we do things a little differently here."
"Oh?" Riku asked, eyeing her pink tang top, jeans, black belt, and black sneakers.
"Yes, we sit you down, you order, and we'll bring it to you…" She paused, she, herself, eyeing his form-fitting black t-shirt that showed off his muscles, baggy blue jeans with a black studded belt, and short black boots. "Are you gay?"
His eyes widened, "What??"
She squeaked, "I-I'm sorry!! I just… OH MY GOD!!" She grabbed a menu, motioning him to follow her, and sped towards a table in the back, "S-sorry, I just happen to blurt things out, I'll just get your waiter and—uhh…"
Riku chuckled, watching her spin before tugging gently on her wrist, "Don't worry about it, just bring me my waiter."
She gave a weak smile, "R-right."
"Oh and Kairi?"
Kairi remembered the nametag and turned to him.
"Yes, I am gay." Riku's words complete with the most innocent smile he could muster (which, I've drawn before and looks almost as good as Sora's regular smiles, ALMOST)
Her grin grew wider and she nodded and ran off.
Riku chuckled, looking down at the menu and debating what he wanted. (Everyone just remember, I hate coffee except for lattes, I love those.) After a few minutes of debating, he was ready, but his waiter was nowhere to be seen.
The small coffee shop had started to get crowded now with teens Kairi's age. Riku assumed Kairi was 17, and most teens coming in was 17 or 18.
A few began to yell, smile, and shout, seemingly having a good time. Chin resting on his palm, Riku remembered as a teen being that spunky and loud. Granted, it wasn't that long ago since he was 23, but working in a corporate office that's one of the most famous records studio makes one tend to believe it'd been forever.
Looking back down at the menu, Riku began to read over some different choices on the back that he'd seemingly skipped and began to ponder his suggestion again. (Is it me or did that sentence make me sound really, REALLY smart or something???)
"Welcome to the Coffee Bean, sir, are you ready to order or would you like more time deciding?" Came the voice, alerting Riku that his waiter was there.
Riku's eyes shot up, attempting to see the face, but he could only see the nametag.
Sora.
He fully looked up, "Yeah, I guess I'm ready, I'll take a double shot chocolate espresso with a cinna—ahhh…"
Riku was dimly aware his eyes were wide and his jaw was slowly falling.
In front of him stood the most gorgeous human… no… being… that he'd ever seen in his life.
Sun-kissed skin, ocean hue eyes, slightly red lips, a rather long earring of beads and a feather at the end on the right ear, a small hoop earring followed by smaller and smaller diamond studs on the left ear, and dimples growing larger with the widening smile. A black sleeveless turtleneck, form-fitting jeans, a chain belt, chains, zippers, and belts running every which way, and a long sleeved fishnet t-shirt underneath was partly hidden by a forest green apron.
Riku closed his mouth, although he could tell that the boy didn't notice his jaw dropping.
The boy was grinning, lips in that smirk as a medium-sized silver hoop hung itself around the left side of his bottom lip.
"Judging by your words, I'm taking it as a cinnamon roll, cuz that's the only thing cinnamon on the menu besides the drink." Came the dark, husky, yet innocent voice.
Riku's train of thoughts promptly stopped and derailed.
The boy just gave a smirk again, "What? Still not sure?"
Riku shook his head and tried to make an excuse, "No, sorry, you just really looked like a friend of mine." This beauty, Sora, did look an awful lot like Roxas…
"Really…?" Sora questioned, holding out his hand, "Sora Kaze, you?"
"Riku Umino." Riku answered, grabbing Sora's hand and placing a kiss on the top.
Sora quirked an eyebrow and smirked again, "Thanks for the kiss but—…"
"SORA!!"
They turned to see Kairi with the phone in her right hand; Riku noticed the cord sticking out of it. He guessed they just didn't want their workers to wander off with the phone.
"What's up Kai?" Sora asked, removing his hand from Riku's, the silver haired man already missing the warmth.
"Sora, your boyfriend's on the line! You two have a date today??" She winked.
Riku's face fell as he watched Sora almost instantly run towards the phone. Riku was sitting almost right next to the counter with the phone so he watched as Sora ripped it out of her hands and held it up to his left ear with his right pointer finger twirling around the cord. And Riku could hear every word.
"Hey Axel, no, no, no, nobody important as a customer, just being bored as hell working. We do have a date tonight still? I thought you had soccer practice… uh huh… ah…. Oh, well then… just meet me here in half an hour, k? Then we'll go on our date. Right, uh huh, love you too, bye."
Kairi simply smiled, taking the notebook Sora scribbled down Riku's order on, and running to the kitchen.
A couple minutes later, a hot drink and steaming cinnamon bun with extra frosting was placed in front of him.
Riku looked up to see Sora.
"Hey, we never finished introducing ourselves."
Sora sat himself down next to Riku, a cup of white liquid steaming just as much as Riku's.
"Like I was saying earlier, I'm Sora Kaze."
"We're passed this already." Riku gave a partial grin, he so wanted to show he could be a good fling, but Sora was taken, he had to keep that in mind.
Sora chuckled, "Right, so you going to tell me about yourself?"
Riku raised an eyebrow playfully, "Oh my, asking such questions, do I turn you on that much?"
Sora grinned, "Maybe."
Riku smiled, he hadn't known Sora for long, but it felt like he knew him his whole life.
"Right, so I'm still Sora. I'm 18, so it's legal for me to be dating my 24 year old boyfriend, Axel Nakango (Riku frowned at this), I'm finishing up high school and I do second lead vocals and keyboard/piano in my band. I'm a Virgo and I've got blood type AB just in case of emergencies. My favorite food is French toast, my favorite color is black even though scientifically it's not a color, it's a shade…. Oh and I love to draw."
Riku began to laugh, "I see."
"So what about you?"
"Well, as far as I know I'm still known as Riku (Riku paused just to hear Sora laugh), I'm 23 and single. I work at Twilight Town Recording Studios and I can't carry a whistle in a basket. I'm a Capricorn and I've got B blood type. My favorite food is tacos and my favorite color is sky blue, and I love to write."
Sora's eyes were wide, "You work at TTRS?? That's one of the top places!!"
Riku shrugged, "Roxas assigns all the bands."
Sora instantly grabbed Riku's hands, "Could you do me a super, mega, huge favor?"
Riku swallowed, trying to will down the blush on his cheeks, "M-maybe… what is it??"
Sora quickly pulled out a ticket coupon out of his bag, "How many people are on vacation with you?"
"Well, me, Zexion, Cloud, and Roxas, so four."
Sora pulled out four of the tickets and signed the back on all of them where they had an X and part of the space was underlined for a signature, "My boyfriend owns a club where my band plays. The only way to get in are these passes here, and because I'm dating the owner, I can give you these and you can come in for free, anyone else has to pay. Do you think you can get this Roxas guy to come down and hear us play?"
Riku smirked, Zexion would SO make Roxas work, no matter how much the blond would whine, "Sure."
Sora squealed as Riku stuffed the coupons in his pocket, the silver-haired man only had a split second before Sora launched himself at him.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!"
Riku was turning bright red, not only from getting hugged by Sora, but also getting the air chocked out of him.
"Jeez Sora, were you planning on letting me see you as you cheat on me?" Came the mocking tone from behind.
Riku glanced passed the turning Sora to see a male that was obviously a year older than himself.
The male's red hair was spiked back, if down it'd be slightly passed his shoulders, with deep emerald eyes and small black triangles underneath. He was wearing a long sleeved black turtleneck, black leather pants, chains, belts and zippers across his legs, his right hand in a short leather glove, the left in a glove that went from almost-shoulder to knuckles, and black steel-toed boots. The exact same earring of beads and a feather on Sora's right ear was on Axel's left, the other ear covered in diamond studs and silver hoops. His black Matrix-like trench coat stopping a few seconds after he stopped, just like in the movies, it flew with no wind. Axel had blood red eye shadow on that was so thick it could be seen a few feet away. (Riku noticed Sora was wearing blue eye shadow, but no as heavy as the brunette's boyfriend.)
"Riku, this is my boyfriend, Axel Nakango. Axel, this is Riku Umino, he works for TTRS and is friends with the guy in charge of hiring bands, he's gonna attempt to hook us up."
Axel seemed to just stay glaring at the moment, Riku glaring back, until he broke into a smile.
"You're really gonna try to hook us up? Thanks man, that means a lot!" Axel shook Riku's hand that had been resting on Sora's back when Axel had arrived.
Riku didn't know what to say, here he'd been hoping to see Sora's boyfriend as a bad ass that would probably beat Sora up just so Riku can come in, save the day, and ride off with Sora into the sunset.
That SO wasn't happening…
"Sora and I have to go to meet the rest of the band, so hopefully Sora gave you the coupons with our adress on them…" Axel noticed Sora nodded, "… and we'll see you later."
Riku watched the two exit and Kairi walked over, "So Riku, do you like Destiny Islands so far?"
Riku placed some money down on the table, walking out the door, "It has its ups and downs."
The two cups of drinks were now cold and the cinnamon bun had hardened.
Forgotten.
X.X.X.X.X.X.X
"Axel…" Sora half whined, half chuckled once they reached the vicinity of their friend's house, "This is cheating…!" Wail.
Axel smirked, licking the spot right behind Sora's ear and watching Sora's clear eyes turn dark and misty, "Is it now?"
Without warning, Sora pounced and Axel fought right back.
"Okay you two." Demyx, age 19, sighed as he opened his front door and caught his two friends in the middle of a kissing fight.
Axel simply pulled away softly, smirking at Demyx, "We're going to use your bathroom."
Demyx watched his friends trudge upstairs, almost in a blur. A smile tugged at his lips as he closed the door, "Those two…"
X.X.X.X.X.X.X
Squall "Leon" Leonheart, age 23, was flipping through a Japanese Goth magazine called Cure (it was Sora's) (I LOVE that magazine) on Demyx's bed as the blond came back up, "Who was it?" He asked without looking.
"Sora and Axel." Demyx answered, "They're in the bathroom… the usual."
Leon let out a snort that covered up a snicker, "Give them a couple hours."
"I know." Demyx smiled, going back to playing Guitar Hero 2 on his Playstation 3.
A few minutes later, Sora and Axel bombarded into the room, Sora squealing, "I HAVE NEWS, I HAVE NEWS!!"
The two watched Sora as Axel was standing there and smirking, "What?"
"Okay, I have a new friend, I met him at my work, his name is Riku Umino—…"
"Ooh, you, him, and Axel have a threesome??" Demyx asked out.
Axel threw a book at Demyx's head.
"Ittai!" Demyx pouted, rubbing his head, "I was just asking…"
"Well anyways, he works for TTRS!!"
Demyx and Leon dropped what they were doing.
"NO GODDAMMED WAY!!"
"Fuck yeah." Sora grinned, "I gave him tickets to get into the club, he is friends with the person who assigns the bands, he's bringing them tomorrow night."
Demyx and Leon hugged Sora.
"IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE!!" Demyx scream, playing his game again but putting on the song 'We Are the Champions' and keeping it on repeat. He soon raced down stairs to open his new bottle of vodka.
Axel smacked Sora in the ass playfully, "Now we have to put on a even better show than usual, thanks Sora."
"You just need practice." Sora smirked, "Old man."
Axel smirked back, dragging Sora out of the room after winking at Leon; "I'll show you old."
Leon rolled his eyes with a smirk and went back to lying on Demyx's bed with the magazine.
Demyx came up, dropping the four plastic ups and the glass bottle of vodka on his desk, "Where'd Sora and Axel go?"
"Axel's going to help Sora with his vocal chords." Leon shrugged.
"Oh, well in that case." Demyx poured the alcohol into two of the four cups and crashed his cup with Leon's before they drank them down.
"The burn…" Leon purred.
Demyx laughed, agreeing.

Riku smirked, walking back into the hotel.
Roxas was sipping a red monster, typing on Zexion's laptop.
Riku knew Zexion loved that thing like no other because it had all his work on it, so where was he?
Oh, over there, being tied to a chair by Cloud.
"Hey."
"There you ARE!!" Zexion glared, "Have them get me out of this thing!!"
Riku ignored him; "I've got work for us!"
Roxas and Cloud groaned and Zexion seemed actually happy.
Cloud noticed that twinkle in Riku's eye, "Oh no, you're going after somebody, aren't you?"
Roxas raised an eyebrow and smirked, Zexion's face kind of fell.
"The club opens tomorrow, we're going to go see Under the Shadow (1) live."
X.X.X.X.X.X.X
1—Well, I mostly look at lyric-less songs and use their names for a band name. For instance, I'd take a classical song and take a bit of the name and use it as a band. Under the Shadow is a track of the Medieval Times soundtrack.
What's Medieval Times, you ask?
It's a restaurant, basically. What happens is, they sit you, you are a certain color that represents a knight of a made-up kingdom. While you sit there and eat, actors dress up as knights, kings, princesses, and evil wizards, evil kings, and evil princesses, and act out a story to entertain you while you eat. It's also an interactive show, so they'll use the audience with the show.
And yes, for those of you who have been there, I have the soundtrack, I got it as a gift.
Tke: anyways, I really liked the first chapter of this, it turned out good, PLEASE READ AND REVIEW TO GET A PLUSHIE OF DEMYX PLAYING GUITAR HERO WITH A PLUSHIE PS3!!!!
