Roxas couldn't even begin to understand how he had let himself become trapped in Traverse Town. He felt like he was so close to getting the fuck out of Twilight town but instead some ungodly force made him stay put.
He thought that once he had graduated high school, he'd be hightailing it as far away as he could from this shit hole. He, instead, ended up in an apartment with his twin brother, Sora, about 30 minutes from his house. Sora used to tell him that it was a start and that at least they weren't at home anymore. That was until his best friend turned boyfriend, Riku, took up all his time.
So, now, almost two years later from graduating and being on his own with his brother who didn't come home like he used too, Roxas was still working at the little bookstore that halved as a small café. He loved his job and often referred to it as the "ungodly force" that wouldn't let him leave.
But, he knew it was a lie.
When Roxas started working at Nobodies Books and Café, he fucking hated working morning shifts. He couldn't fucking stand waking up in at 5 o' clock in the morning to sell books or coffee. But, now that he had been working the morning shift for so long, he loved it. People weren't as talkative or awake as they should be at that forsaken hour of the morning. Most customers came in to purchase the morning paper or grab a quick coffee. So that meant the morning shift was often peaceful and quiet until about 10 o' clock, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
The blonde stretched his long arms over his head and yawned loudly and obnoxiously. It was almost 10:30 and no one had really walked in to his section. Roxas only ran the book store section and someone else ran the café section. He loved his book section buddies, they always seemed to make the day go by so much faster when they were here. Not to mention his boss, Marluxia, was a the coolest boss ever. He was crazy about plants and flowers but he took a particular liking to a certain green plant that made everyone in Nobodies Books and Café all smile.
Roxas got bored of standing behind the counter and began to walk around the store in search of books that are out of place from where they're suppose to be. As soon as he turned the corner out of the counter he spotted three books out of place. He bent down to retrieve the books when the bell on the door jingled, signaling someone walked in to the quiet store.
" Mornin'! Do you need help with anything?" Roxas called over his shoulder as he got the books and was currently looking at the authors name on the spine.
"Nah. I'm all good." The customer replied and walked around.
"Fuck. Are you kidding me?" Roxas mumbled as he noticed four more books that were completely out of place. He quickly grabbed the books and stashed them underneath the others he had to put away.
He furrowed his brow and made his way to the 'Non-Fiction' area. "F-E-R…" He trailed off and put two of the books in their rightful place.
"Fucking Zexion. You'd think as much as he reads this shit, he'd know were to put the fuckers." Roxas half mumbled and began to make his way toward the counter when he saw the customer and gasp.
"H-holy shit." His mouth hung open and his eyes widen and to top it all off…he dropped the books in his hands. Every single one of them. "F-fuck." He grumbled and quickly dropped to his knees and gathering the books.
Roxas couldn't believe this kind of guy was in the book store that he'd been working at for two years. He was not from this town.
"Wow, you dropped to your knees pretty damn quick blondie." A voice filled with humor came to Roxas's ears. The customer chuckled and Roxas blushed, "You need any help?" He asked while Roxas had already finished picking up the books and was now about to get up.
"N-n-no. I got it. Thanks." Roxas felt so stupid. This ridiculously sexy guy was towering over him. He felt so damn tiny standing right in front of this guy. His hair was a blazing red that couldn't possibly be real. The small black triangle tattoos underneath his bright emerald eyes that would had made him look even more intense if the strong smell of weed didn't fill his nostrils.
"Dude…" Roxas breathed out as he got another huge whiff of herb. He made a face at the customer that showed complete dissatisfaction. The customer gave him a lazy smile that made Roxas want to start laughing, but he held it in.
"Do you need me to help you find anything, sir?" Roxas was starting to get a little uncomfortable standing in the middle of the store staring at the customer. They weren't even talking to each other and the smell of weed…
It made his stomach churn. It was so obvious that anyone could have walked in a smelled it also immediately. Roxas might've as well lit one up in the middle of the fucking store.
"I'll get outta your hair in a minute blondie. But, I'm thirsty as fuck. Can I order a drink or smoothie or something around here? It said outside this was a café too." The red head was babbling a little but never the less got the point. Roxas stifled a laugh and pointed to sign that read, "Nobodies Café".
"This is the bookstore but the café is just right in that room over there. You can order food and drinks over there and buy your books over here." Roxas looked the customer in the eyes and shook his head in disapproval, he sighed.
The fuckers eye's were as red as his hair.
"Oh. Okay then." The red head cleared throat and scratched his head. He sniffed loudly and pulled up his pants gave the blonde smirk.
Roxas nodded and grinned stupidly while from making his way back to the counter where he was regretting leaving in the first place. When he was safely behind the register he watched the customer walk slowly in to the café. He placed the books underneath the counter, noting that he would get to them later.
He let out a breathe he didn't know he was holding. He was really nervous because of this dude's stupid ass didn't know how to cover up the smell or the evidence that he had been smoking. He might as well have been walking around the store with the fucking plant for fucks sake!
He gulped, "Not to mention…he's fucking hot." He mumbled to his own thoughts and watched the customer re-enter the store. Roxas's eyes slowly trailed down his body and took in all the curves and muscles the stranger had. His black pants clung tightly around his legs and his plain white v-neck shirt looked like it was holding on for dear life against his chest. The only real color that the guy had on was the bright ass red shoes that have been worn one too many times. Everything else on him was either black or white, his studded belt was all black and underwear he was wearing were white. (Roxas got a peek when he had to pull up his pants.)
"Ya know blondie, this is one fuckin' good smoothie. Sea salt flavored, wanna taste?" The stranger totally snapped Roxas out of his thoughts.
Roxas shook his head and smiled sheepishly. "No! I'm good. Are you here for the paper, sir?" Roxas was getting nervous and he felt a blush rising to his cheeks.
"Nah. I don't read the paper. I know what book I want. It's over there in the back but you seem interesting…" He took a sip of his smoothie, "Plus, you haven't stopped looking at me." He smirked a sexy smirk that Roxas only saw in movies. "Well, Twilight Town doesn't make people like you." The words had left his mouth before he had a chance to stop them.
Fuck.
The stranger grinned ear to ear and headed to the back of the store so abruptly that Roxas thought he had scared the customer off but sure enough ,two minutes later, the red head returned and threw the two books on the counter. "Ring 'em up, blondie." He smiled and took another obnoxious sip of the smoothie that made Roxas give him a look that showed how completely annoying that sound was.
Roxas slid the books over the scanner and watched the price ring up. He scoffed at the title of the books. 'High Times: Stoner Tips and Tricks', Roxas rolled his eyes and scanned the other book's title, 'The Grass Is Greener When You Smoke It.' "D-dude…" Roxas felt like socking this guy! Why the fuck must he be so damn obvious? He's gonna get himself caught…
"Something on your mind?" The customer was leaning on the counter drinking his smoothie, a smirk dying to grace his too perfect face. At least it'd be perfect if his eyes weren't almost closed. Roxas decided to grow some balls and just tell the fucker that he smelled like weed. And that it was obvious to everyone in a mile radius.
"Dude, I'm sorry for being in your business and whatnot. But you seriously reek of korn and your eyes are as red as your hair. Couldn't you at least spray after you light up?" Roxas was a little irritated by this guys careless act of going out in public smelling and looking like that.
The customer sighed and took a drink, "Is that what's bothering you?" He chuckled, "Let me tell you something…" He paused and looked at Roxas's name tag, "Roxas." He was trying to look a little serious. It wasn't working.
"I don't give a flying fuck what people think about me. I don't care if people know that I light up before I go out. And I really don't care if it bothers them. More than likely, they're not gonna be like you and say something." He shrugged and sipped again. "But I do care that you, Roxas, now your bud very well. Gotcha yourself a good nose there, eh? So tell me Roxas, what do you smoke?"
Roxas kept a straight face the whole time he asked that question but on the inside he screaming like a little fucking girl. He had let himself out of the stoner closet.
FUCK.
FUCK.
FUCK.
Roxas chuckled and quickly hit a few buttons and the survey popped up. Shit. "I dunno know what you're talking about. But, I have to ask you these questions before you can get your total." The red head scoffed, "Go for it."
"Name?"
"Axel Lea. Got it memorized? " The name rolled off his tongue so sensually that it sent little shivers down Roxas's back. Roxas typed the name in to the computer.
"Are you 18 years or older to make this purchase?"
"I'm 23 baby."
Roxas rolled his eyes and laughed quietly.
"Is this your first time shopping at 'Nobodies'?
"Yup. But as long as you work here blondie, I'll definitely be coming back." Axel smiled and placed the straw in between his lips and looked a Roxas finish typing everything.
Roxas couldn't help but smile even though he was taken back by the blunt answer. "Your total is 16.45. Do you wanna bag?"
"Do you come in it?" Axel smiled.
Roxas took that as a 'yes' and put the books in the bag and watched stoner thumb through bills in his wallet. He placed a twenty dollar bill on the counter and grabbed the bag.
"Out of twenty…" Roxas opened the register and looked up to see the stoner was walking out the door.
"Whoa! Axel! You forgot your change!" He yelled and started to chase him.
"Nah. Keep it blondie." Roxas gave him a confused look.
"Keep it. I'll be seeing you around." With that said he walked out the store with the scent of weed and all.
"Roxas? Who the fuck was that guy?" Kairi, the girl that worked the café, came into the book store with two smoothies in her hands.
"His name is Axel. Customer. Pothead." Roxas said and went to put the money in the register. He'd have to left Marluxia know about the extra money…
"No kidding. He reeked of it! His eye's were as red as a baboons ass cheeks." Kairi scowled and handed Roxas the yellow smoothie.
"For me?" Kairi nodded "Thanks." He sipped and smiled. "Is this paopu?" Kairi nodded again because she was texting. Her girlfriend Namine no doubt.
She closed her phone, "So! Did you get his number?" She smiled and sipped the drink. Roxas laughed and placed his elbows on the counter resting his chin on his hands. "No way dude."
Kairi glared at him and walked over to him, completely blocking his view of the window. "Why the fuck not Roxas? He pretty much wanted to fuck you in the non-fiction section."
"Oh c'mon, Kai! He was stoned as shit! He probably had no idea what he was doing. Plus…he didn't even give a shit if anyone could smell that shit off of him."
Kairi rolled her eyes, "You're acting like you don't ever light up before you come to work Roxas. Don't act like that. You should have asked him out, he was looking at you like you were a piece of fucking meat for Christ sake!" He shook her head in disapproval and sipped her smoothie again.
"Dude, why are you so fucking pissed about this. You have Namine to keep you mouth filled. Shit. Get off my balls, Kai." Roxas and Kairi had know each other since their freshmen year of high school and pretty much stuck together since then. Sadly to say, she was his best friend and he often wondered why he let her be such a bitch to him.
"Roxas, you've been gay to the longest time. Sora has a boyfriend now and you just mope around these books and my coffee -"
"Your coffee?" He cut her off.
"MY fucking coffee, looking for something. I don't know what you're afraid of Roxas but it's about fucking time you took some action. Seriously. Go out tonight. Do Something. I'll take you and Sor' out tonight, eh? How about it?" Kairi didn't like the fact that her best friend still hadn't been in a relationship. A stable one. Maybe it's because she was a girl but she believe that Roxas was scared of getting hurt. Again.
Roxas pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "It depends where. No clubs." He added and took out his phone and texted Sora really quickly.
"Kairi wants to do something tonight after work. You wanna go?" He hit the send button and gazed at her, batting his eyelashes.
Kairi gave him an uncomfortable look, "What?"
"I love T9." He smiled and took out his phone, while Kairi rolled her eyes, and read the message out.
"It's all good with me. Depends where. Can Riku come?"
Roxas sighed and looked at her for approval. "Sure. I don't see why not. I think I know where I can take you." She grinned and threw her smoothie away, having already finished it.
Roxas bit his lip and looked at her waiting for her answer. "Where?"
"Oh. You'll see. I'm texting Sora the place but I'm not telling you."
Roxas scowled at her. "What the fuck? Why the fuck not?" He closed his phone and drank some of the smoothie.
"Because I want it to be a surprise Roxas. You smoke and so do the rest of us. I know a place that has food, music and smoking." Roxas's eyes widen, "Where the fuck is that? When did Twilight get so cool?"
Kairi laughed and began to walk to her café. "You'll have fun. Something you don't anymore. Take some pointers from Sora one day." She called over her shoulder.
"Ha ha ha. Not funny. Fuck that. Sora is just…retarded." Roxas smiled and drank more of this smoothie.
Kairi popped her head back in to the book store and Roxas gazed over to her.
"W-what?"
"That smoothie will 5.37, sir." She smiled and walked away again.
Roxas stopped drinking the smoothie and gave it a look like it was poison he had be drinking the whole time. He rolled his eyes and continued drinking it.
"Sneaky lesbo bitch." He rolled his eyes and continued drinking it.
Roxas was unbelievably happy when his shift was over. He was fucking starving and he was a little irritated that Marluxia got on his ass for smelling like weed and he had to explain to his boss that it wasn't him and that it was a customer. After he told Marluxia that the customer also left a twenty for him and asked for no change, Marluxia laid off.
Marluxia apologized before he clocked out, but he was still a little pissed about it.
"Roxas! You ready to go eat?" Kairi said while stacking some cups under the counter of the café.
"As soon as you are. I'm following you. I'm not allowed to know where this magical place is located, remember?" He saw his best friend smirk and hang up her apron.
"I didn't forget you ass. Nami's gonna be there too. Let's go straight there because, I don't know about you but, I'm fucking starving." She grabbed her tote bag and left the walked out the door with him.
"And you think I'm not? Fuck, I've been working since 5 a.m. this morning. It's almost seven, shit."
"Didn't you go to lunch?" She asked as pulled out her keys to her car.
"Duh, but you said we were gonna eat out tonight, so I didn't stuff my face." He unlocked his car, through his phone in the passengers seat, and sat down. He looked over to Kairi and saw her texting, she rolled down the passenger window and smirked at the blonde.
"Sorry Roxy, but I eat out and stuff my face every night." She grinned at him and rolled the car window back up.
Roxas shivered in disgust at the thought of his best friend having any sexual contact with her own girlfriend. He barely got used to the idea of taking it up the ass, but all in all, he'd rather do that than touch that…wet…monster.
He closed his car door, revved the engine, and began to follow Kairi to this magical restaurant of food, music, and smoking. He's drove around Twilight town countless of times and has never seen this place.
Kairi made a sharp turn in to a large parking lot and Roxas turned with her. His phone suddenly rang, making him jump in his seat. "Fuck. You scared the shit outta me." He grabbed his phone and saw that it was Sora calling.
"Yes?" He answered, watching Kairi park.
"Where are youuuuu?" Sora yelled over the music and Roxas let confusion cross his face.
"We're pulling in I guess. Are you in there?" Roxas found a parking spot a little further way from Kairi's car.
"Yes! We've been here for about 15 minutes. Stop Riku! Tell Kairi we got the table she wanted." Roxas shrugged and walked over to Kairi.
"Will do. I'll be in there in a second." He hung up the phone and poked Kairi's shoulder.
She smiled and threw her arm around his shoulder, "So! Whatta think? Tonight, Roxy, you will have food. You will dance. And we will all smoke out of the hookah's." Kairi smiled wider and lead him in to the bar.
Roxas sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Why must the name so…cheesy? Oblivion? Really?" He groaned as loud techno music blared in the…bar?
"Kai, I thought that you said this was a restaurant." He grumbled.
"We are you being so damn picky? I'm paying for me and you. You're here to finally have some fun. So, shut the fuck up!" He smiled and lead them to Sora and Riku, who were talking and kissing eat other affectionately. Roxas rolled his eyes.
"Hey! We're here! Damn, Riku. Can you get off Sora's ass for 10 minutes?" Kairi laughed and took a seat at the table.
Roxas gave Sora a shoulder hug and sat next to Riku. He smiled and nodded a 'what's up' to him.
"I can keep my hands to myself. Go tongue fuck your girlfriend, Kairi." Riku smirked and Kairi flicked him off. "Don't talk to her that way!" Namine walked up to Kairi and kissed her on the lips. "Hey beautiful, how was your day?" Kairi smiled and called for a waiter, instantly chatting about her day to her long haired blonde girlfriend.
Roxas rolled his eyes and picked up the menu to read what they had. Everything looked good but he really was in the mood for that hookah. The sea salt flavor stuck to him the most. Maybe because it was referenced earlier in the day by a very stoned red head -
"How are you guys doing tonight? My name is Axel and I'll be your waiter this evening." The red head was passing out coasters all the members and didn't even notice him. This made his heart sink a little.
Kairi took one look at the waiter and laughed her ass off. "Holy shit. Aren't you glad we came, Roxy?" Sora and Riku looked at the waiter and shrugged.
Axel eyes landed on Roxas and an evil smirk graced his face. "Well, blondie, can I get you something to drink?" Roxas felt a slight blush creeping on to his cheeks. Everyone at the table was staring at him, waiting for him to answer, waiting to ask questions. Shit.
"U-uh…yeah. Just a…lemonade. Thanks. I mean…please." Axel smiled and took the rest of the groups drink orders down. Roxas noticed that he wasn't writing all of this down, so did Sora.
"Why aren't you writing this down?" Sora asked, eyeing curiously.
Axel chuckled, "Because, I got it memorized." He tapped his head and walked away with the promise of returning with drinks.
The table was silent. The loud 'un-ss-un-ss' of techno was getting on his nerves.
"So Roxy, who was that?" Sora asked with an innocent smile. Riku and the two girls looked at him too. All this attention…
"Nobody Sor'. He's just some customer that came in to the store today high as a fucking kite. I literally just saw him stoned off his ass this morning." Roxas chuckled, trying to brush the topic off his shoulder.
"You should have got his number." Namine was giving him that, 'I-feel-sorry-for-your-loneliness' look.
"That's what I told him! But nooooooooooo. Nobody wants to listen to me." Kairi popped in the conversation.
"Quit being such a girl Kairi. Get off his balls about it. Maybe he wasn't interested." Riku defended him. Roxas was beginning to get uncomfortable.
"He is very interested." His twin piped up look at him with a devilish grin. Roxas glared at him. What was he planning?
"He doesn't even know that I'm gay Sora." Roxas retorded.
"Are you kidding me, Roxas? With your pants that tight and your hair done that well, everybody knows you're gay." Sora laughed and the other joined too.
"Fuck you! At least I know how to dress myself! The only thing you seem to know how to do these days in take off your clothes!" Roxas shot back at his twin with a snicker.
Riku grinned and Sora blushed, "You ass," He threw his menu at Roxas, "You think our waiter for this evening is fucking hot, don't you?"
Roxas blushed and glared at him. "I'm not answering that."
"He thinks you're cute. C'mon! Admit it! You wanna suck his cock,"
"Shut up!"
"You wanna scream his name,"
"Sora!"
"You wanna have him cum all over your face,"
"What the fuck? Ew! No!" Roxas blushed more.
"C'mon! Say it! Say he's hot! I know you think he is~!" Sora batted his eye lashes.
"Fuck you." Roxas mumbled and crossed his arms over his chest.
"No no, fuck Axel."
Roxas gave Sora a glare that would have killed him if he had the power too. Sora smiled and Kairi, Namine, and Riku laughed at the twins.
"Say it."
"No."
Say it."
"No!"
"Quit being a pussy! Just fucking say it!"
"Fine! Axel is hot! Our waiter for this evening, Axel, is very deliciously, fucking hot!"
"Whoa whoa whoa! Blondie, you're cute and all, but take me out to dinner first." Axel strolled up with the drinks and a huge smile plastered on his face.
Roxas eyes widen and blush spread across his face. The whole table laughed at him, Sora added on the asshole-ness by pointing AND laughing at Roxas.
Fuck his life.
Authors Note: Okaaaaaaaaay. FML's. Sora's an ass. Roxas is in denial. Kairi's badass! I wish she was like this in the game. Ol' annoying ass...
Anyway! I know this is long. I might cut it short. Depending. I'm requesting lots and lots and LOTS of criticism. As much as I read over this, I'm sure there are shittons of errors. Point 'em out and what not. I want at least 5 to 6 reviews that want this to continue. It would be much appreciated. *smile* *smile*
Okay guys, review! Tell me what is up! Click that button and gooooo~!
