Wasted Away
- Chapter 1 -
It's not so bad when you get used to it (who was he kidding) .. Tired dark eyes looked at the ramen miso cup in front of him, the steam was slowly escaping from the lid . I don't even like it .. As the scent of the miso hits his nose, his stomach was happy for some food now .
Better this then nothing, he doesn't want to sleep on an empty stomach .. again .
He opened the rest of the lid and poked his chopsticks in it, testing the slipery noodles . "I don't even like this .." He repeated the words out loud, like it will help make it any better . He slipped some in his mouth not blowing it, he could feel the burn in his mouth and then to his throat . The taste was plain he could not even taste the miso .
He ates most of his cup, before his eyes switched from the food to the plain clock on his plain wall it says it's 4 am .. He has to go to work soon .
Working as a cashier was just as boring and plain as his apartment, not that he really cares he doesn't really have a dream to begin with, no goal in life, no sweetheart to crush on .
Coffee stains marking your clean kitchen table ..
Sigaret smoke filling the room ..
Your heat slowly going down, like the dreams of yesterday ..
As the clock ticks the time forward, but you keep sitting there ..
Slowly sipping the cold coffee from a plain cup .. Aizawa Shouta streched his arms and his back, he could swear he hears a pop .
Loud footsteps are heard above him, meaning his neighbours are also awake . They were loud people always laughing or just talking loud, Shouta could hear them even above their tv volume . Nobody went to complain to them, not even him because why should they listen to him ?
Nobody ever listens ...
He walked to the door after he got ready, and slipped his shoes on, then his thick jacket everything he wears is black .
Just plain black .. Better then plain white .
He locked the door as he closed it, he looked at the weather and decided just to walk there . The busses will ride around 7 am and it's now .. He checks his watch it already five thirty he will be faster there then taking the bus .
As he walks to his work his thoughts went to what he hates about life ..
He hates working as a cashier .
He hates walking in the cold .
He hates miso ramen .
He hates his loud neighbours .
He hates his plain apartment .
He hates waking up .
He just hate everything .
He just could not find joy in life, he doesn't even remember when it started . But he knows when he was in second year of highschool he just could not smile anymore .
Friends end up leaving him as he turns more glumy and scowling, his parents went from worried to bothersome, his siblings talking like they know shit, doctors empty their wallets filling theirs up, people judging .. He scowls at the snow silently judging it as it started to fall .
I will add this to the list of things I hate about life ..
At work some of co workers are already in their work outfits, one was drinking coffee as the other was sleeping on the sofa .
Shouta wants to kick her out because that was his spot .
He scowls as he got ready, and he was still scowling as he was ready . "Geez you are one happy sunshine ." The man (named Yamato, but who cares) said as he sipped the bitter cheap coffee, like hell the boss let them drink something worth it for their early hours .
"It's winter ." Was his short answer .
"So is in egypte, but the sun shines anyways !" The man looked annoyed as if Shouta was stupid .
Why do I work with this sort of people again ?
"We are not in Egypt ."
"Yeah yeah ."
Instead of sharing the staff room with those 2 Shouta walked out, he turned the sign as went behind the cashier . As soon he did that the door opens .
And the first customer walked in, and then other, and then other one . All 3 not together went to do their business .
An old woman .
A young man in a business suit ..
And a middle aged man with a belly that not even his coat could hide .
Yet even he found something in this world to be worth it .. The man was looking over at the chips already holding a huge coke bottle and some cookies .
I hate it that they just put things in their arms .. He glanced a bit to the little baskets at the side of the door, obviously standing there to be used .
Not even they want you guys ..
The old woman just has some bread, cheese, milk and eggs .
Shouta rings the items up and put them in a plastic bag . The woman was looking judgemental at him, Shouta wonders if he gets in trouble putting one plastic bag over her head .
She will complain that's a cheap bag I bet ..
She grabbed her bag and waited while Shouta just stared at her . "Well ?"
"Well what ?"
"Are you not forgetting something ?"
"No my stove if off .." Or is it ? Shouta could not really remember .
"Have a nice day ?" She looked annoyed for some reason, Shouta knows she knows he is not the type to say it .
"Thank you bye ."
She huffs as she stormed out, muttering ungrateful brats under her breath . Shouta's mother would slapped him for being rude to an elder, but really he is too tired to kiss anyone's ass today .
His co workers also walked around the store, one putting stock in the racks, while the female worker helped the younger man .
The fatass also paid his shit but did not ask the same thing as the elder woman, clearly saw the whole scene and decided it was not worth it . He was not even completely out of the store as he already opens the chips and munched on his way to his pigsty .
Fatass choke on that ..
The day went by slowly too slow even .
It was around 11 am when a customer walked in .
Shouta did not look up too deep in his thoughts (going down like a drain) but one of his co workers shouted loudly ." Hey Zashi !" So loud Shouta shakes out of his thoughts .
"Good morning Yamato !"
Shouta looked up from his work the voice was loud and annoying, he hopes his glare will silence him ..
But then his eyes went wide open as red eyes stared back at him .
Shouta knows something was wrong the moment it happens ..
His heart beats fast as the world slowly went silent, he was staring at the face of Yamada Hizashi who in fact stared back .
"Oh my god !" The other shouted when they saw Shouta's face ."Sho-chan !" He starts to run to him with his arms wide open, making the other pale immeadiatly as he tried to back away . But ofcourse it all went to vain as the other almost squuezed his soul out .
"You two know each other ?" Yamato asked in disbelieve, his shoulders tensing up as he spoke ."We were .." Hizashi started what will seem like a dramatic opening of a story .
"Classmates ." Shouta spoke over what Hizashi wanted to say, making the other gave him a look . Shouta knows that look too well, it means they will talk later and oh how he hated those talks . Yamato looked between them for a few moments, before his shoulders relaxed making Shouta almost groan .
Great now I have to deal with a jealous friend, because of we were ex-classmates ..
"I am going back to work ." Shouta pushed Hizashi off and started to walk away, but the other grabbed him by the shoulder ."When are you done with work ?" He smiled as Shouta's eye twitch, the smile made him more irratated .
He could barely see over Hizashi's shoulder how hard Yamato was scowling at them (him) he ignores it, Yamato was always an asshole to him, it's not a losse of a great friendship or something ."At 7 ."
"Alright let's go for a drink !" Hizashi decided ."I rather .."
"See you then Sho-chan ! Oh boy I am so happy to see you !" He gave a fast hug but let Shouta go before he could do anything ."Well I have to go, so .." He turned to Yamato ."Bye Yamato was good seeing you !" Before Yamato could say anything back Hizashi turned to Shouta ."And I see you tonight, don't you dare to run you know you can't escape me !"
And then he was gone leaving Shouta dumbfounded with Yamato looking like he ate a sour lemon, before he turned to Shouta with a very much clear scowl ."Go mop the floors weirdo ." And then he was standing alone .
New thing added to this list of the things he hate .
Today .

I just could decide if I will turn this into a oneshot or not, but decided to go for multichapters, in the manga it was said Present Mic's eyes were red but they turned it green in the Anime . So I decided to let Mic keep his red eyes .
