For some reason Roxas awoke the next day with a smile gracing his features. The blonde sat there and pondered what it was that- OH! Oh yeah! He had a job, his cat Mr. MewMew was still alive, and his dad was coming to town!
Transition here.
"CLOUD! Wake the fuck up!" The little man exclaimed and bashed the door with the side of his fist. You could hear the murmurs and "shhh..."s through the door. This only served the purpose of ticking off the younger blonde. What really threw the boy over the proverbial edge was when he overheard Cloud saying "Be quiet and maybe he'll go away!" in a hopeful whisper.
Leaving for a moment, Roxas tromped to the kitchen. At the sound of the footsteps moving farther away from them, the men cowardly hiding under Cloud's blue covers hurriedly raced to put their discarded clothing back on. Leon had already managed to get one leg out of the window and Cloud was in the process of slipping one of his shoes on when they both froze. The doorknob was jiggling and making a small clinking sound. "SHIT! RUN!"
At the loud outburst, Roxas doubled his efforts of breaking into his brother's room. "CLOUD! So help me god, if you are not in this room I'll-." He threw the door open as soon as he had felt the tell-tale movement of his knife from having undone the locking mechanism. The scene assaulting the boy's senses was just chaos. The bed was...messy. We'll leave it at that. There was clothing strewn all over the room in the oddest places. The blonde looked with wonderment as the movement of pants spinning on the ceiling fan caught his attention. Eventually the blonde's eyes made it to the window that was open, its curtains billowing in the warm morning air. Taking this all in, Roxas turned to leave. The room was obviously empt-. Roxas narrowed his light blue eyes and stalked over to the pile of clothing under the window. He flung the clothes with his foot, revealing an extremely familiar shoe. The blonde turned quickly at the sound of a squeak behind him.
Cloud was found with one foot poised in the air, clearly glaring at the ground that held a... wow. It was a red and green squeaky dildo that, apparently, had been a gag gift from Reno during Christmas the year before for the couple to...enjoy. Roxas didn't let that deter him even with the chills running up his spine and, instead, gave chase to the older blonde when he attempted to flee.
Transition here.
"Reno! How delightful to see you, you mother fucking bitch." Cloud moaned and glared at his best friend while he plopped into his usual chair.
"Well fuck you too. Bad awakening much?" The redhead gave a trademark grin and laughed at the sulking figure seated across from him. Thinking about it... Cloud did kind of look a little more angsty than usual in a gorgeous way. Reno's fingers itched and thoughts battled as he tried to decide if it was worth pissing Cloud off further to get a good picture of the man. Slowly and carefully Reno reached his hand into the bag behind him.
Cloud narrowed his eyes at the smiling redhead and looked away when he heard a loud bark of laughter from Roxas. Looking back, a camera lens was in his face. The blonde gave the piece of technology a one-fingered salute, effectively ruining the third picture that Reno was in the process of snapping.
"Aw, cummon! I work hard to get those pictures; you could at least make it easier on me and smile for once! On the brighter side, I now have another one to add to the growing album of profane ways you show your distaste for my camera-ing abilities. Although I think it's just another repeat." The red head winked at Cloud, having gotten a small twitch of the lips from the comment after the blonde was assured the camera was locked safely away.
"Fuck you." Cloud said with a smile and glanced warily towards his brother who was munching on a chocolate muffin and merrily chatting with his, now, co-worker and friend.
"Wouldn't you like to?" Reno exclaimed and Riku attempted to hide his snickering. They had been a little loud for that last bit and the silver haired man had been unable to ignore the friendly bickering.
"What're you cracking up about?" Roxas asked and nibbled on the little chocolate chip sticking out of the side of the delicious pastry.
"Oh, nothing." The silver haired boy said in a sing-song tone of voice. "So, I was told you had an interview yesterday, how'd it go?" Riku looked over to his, now, grinning friend.
"Fantastic! I totally got the job! You're so not gonna guess where though!" Roxas tried to keep the grin from widening on his face. He had been trying so hard to keep the interview a secret from Riku; he didn't want anyone to help him get this job.
"Oh! Where! Where! Oh, and congratulations on the job, too!" The silver haired boy exclaimed and smiled at his friend. Perfect, Roxas had finally managed his first job after everyone turning him down for looking like he was still fifteen.
Smirking and with a hushed whisper started talking slow and deliberately making the words exaggeratedly long. "Well, I got one of the. Exclusive spots. At a well-known. gay bar downto-"
"HOLY CRAP, YOU WORK WITH ME NOW? YES!" The Silver haired man screamed in an uncharacteristically loud outburst of the high-pitched variety.
Everyone in the small, cramped, tightly-packed cafe` turned to the silver haired boy and glared, many frowning while digging in their ears and trying to hear again. Cloud and Reno just rolled their eyes.
"Sorry! Sorry!" Roxas apologized for the very hyper Riku who wasn't even fazed because the news was so overwhelmingly good.
"Weirdos." Reno smiled at the two that were currently bickering about Riku's new found lack of humility. "So... "He began and turned back to Cloud with a serious expression and leaned in towards the blonde. "Are you seriously okay with your little brother becoming a stripper?" Reno exclaimed in a fierce whisper, glancing toward the blue eyed blonde.
"He can do what he wants Reno, he's old enough now. Besides, I thought you'd be all for taking pictures of my brother, scantily clad, dancing in provocative ways. I have an extra ticket, Leon and I are gonna go tonight to support the little guy's first day...or night rather." Cloud yawned and leaned back in his chair. He had stayed up a little too late last night. A clattering of metal caught their attention and both men turned to watch as the two boys were battling for the second half of the chocolate chip muffin. Cloud really did wonder if his brother knew what he was doing though, sometimes. 'What is he getting himself into?'
End Chapter here.
I realize this chapter is about half the size of the first one and I do apologize.
Reviews would be fantastic so I can know if you like what the hell I'm doing or not.
Woo~ Axel should be in the next chapter! LOOK! THE PLOT! IT PROGRESSES!
[edit] It was brought to my attention that Fanfiction decided my dash wasn't good enough and was deleting everything I tried to use for transitions.
I am extremely sorry for any confusion caused and will try to be more careful in this respect for later chapters.
