Axel paced up and down the hallway, throughout the living room, the throughout the dining room and the kitchen. He was impatiently waiting for Taka to return with his baby. Hell. Why couldn't she borrow his car? The bike had to be-- Oh. The car was in the shop. Duh. Well. Still. She at least could've asked about it last night instead of performing a cunning grand theft auto on him. He unwillingly plopped down on their couch and crosses his arms, pouting. What if he had, had to go to work early? Huh? What then, Taka? She knew he didn't though so it didn't matter. Damnit. Axel stood back up and returned to his pacing.

With a quiet click, the front door had unlocked and Taka was walking in. She shut the door and turned back toward the hallway, just to be slammed backward against the door. Cringing slightly from her back pains she looked at her 'attacker'.

"Axel. That hurt." she frowned, digging in her right pants pocket. Axel held her shoulders against the door.

"You're not moving until--" he started, but was interrupted by Taka holding his bike keys in front of his face. He paused, quickly let her go and snatched the keys from her. He put his keys to the side of his face and hugged them there, grinning.

"Idiot." Taka said, making her way down the hall. She stopped in front of the first door on her right, Cloud's door. She pushed it open and walked inside, shutting the door behind her. Axel put his keys in his pocket and raised an eyebrow at his little sister. Well. Cloud's door where his sister had gone. He walked down the hall and opened Cloud's door. He leaned in and looked around. Taka was sitting cross legged on the floor, picking up little green plastic monkeys.

"You gonna steal 'em? I've got a great hiding place for--" Axel started.

"I'm not stealing them." Taka scowled up at him. "I'm picking them up." she said as she put two or three into the green barrel that was in front of her.

"Oooookay." Axel said, eyebrow raised. He looked around Cloud's room, and then looked back down at her. "I have to get to work. I'll see you later, 'k?" he tilted his head. Taka looked up.

"Alrighty then. Bye Axel-kun." she said cutely, putting another three monkeys into their barrel. Axel nodded, turned and walked off down the hall. He walked out the front door , turned locked the door and walked down the steps.

"Takara. Can you fix this?" Vincent asked, standing in Cloud's doorway, holding up a pair of black pants that had a rather large chunk out of the right pant leg. Taka looked up, starting to say something but paused looking at the missing chunk. She tilted her head, mouth still slightly opened. It was silent for a minute.

"What happ--" Taka started to say.

"My girlfriend's tiger enjoyed gnawing on my leg." he frowned slightly. Taka paused.

"Your girlfriend has a tiger?" she looked back at the pants. "And it liked the taste of your pants?"

"My blood, but yes."

"It liked the taste of your blood."

"Yes."

"Your blood." Taka repeated again. Vincent sighed.

"Yes. Takara. The tiger cub liked the taste of my blood. Now. Can you fix this or do I have to find a tailor?"

"Do you have the missing chunk? I highly doubt that a tiger would swallow fabric."

"Yes. I have the missing piece."

"Well. I'll need that to fix it because I have no black fabric."

"Thank you."

Axel sighed as he pulled into his normal parking spot behind the Family Dollar store. He didn't want to work today. Well. He didn't want to work any day, but he needed the money. He kicked his kickstand down and hopped off his bike. He gave it a slight pat and walked inside, via the back door. Finding himself in the familiar back room, he turned to his left and walked over to the time card machine. He pulled his time card out of slot nine, stuck it in, listened for the punch and then slid it back into it's slot. He pulled his stupid visor from his pocket, unbent it and forced it on. It so just ruined his hair. He frowned and walked out into the main part of the store. No sooner had he walked out, his manager appeared in front of him. Way too close to his face for comfort. And he was smiling. Which wasn't really that strange, but in this close-knit situation it was more along of the lines of 'You're in trouble. You're so screwed. So fired. Dead to the world. Haha, Bitch.' Axel gulped involuntarily. He took his chances in speech.

"H-Hey Marly. Did you need something?" he asked, trying, desperately, to keep fear out of his voice. He failed. His manager just grinned wider. Axel took a step back and remained quiet. Could that man get scarier?

"It's Marluxia, Axel. And I just had a question for you." he added a nod. He took a step forward so he was in Axel's face again. Axel blinked.

"Alright. Shoot." he said before he could stop himself. He wasn't sure he wanted to know. Marluxia Took a second to lean back, glance at his watch and then lean back.

"I get off in a minute, but. I'd like to go out with you sometime." he reached into his left butt-pocket of his pants and pulled a slip of paper out of it. He smashed it into Axel's hand. "Call me." he gave a wink and then walked off to the back room. Axel stood still for a second, looked at the paper, and gulped again. My boss wants to date me. Damn. He looked up at the co-worker behind the cash register, raised a shakey hand and said--

"I feel sick. I-I'm gonna go home now, 'k?" he turned, and walked out the front door, not looking back.

Chapter 8 Trailer:

"His name is Roxas. He was really cute. A little short, but he's like, two years younger than me. And. You know. He was really cute. He came into the store, and like, asked me where the hair gel was. He sounded nervous. And just. Cute. Oh god. I'm gay, aren't I?" he gaped. Dante paused from his pizza, long enough to rub his forehead in a mock-migraine-fashion. Taka snickered behind her glass of Mountain Dew. Axel stopped. "What's so funny?" he asked. Taka coughed, and set her glass down. She kindly put her hand on his shoulder, with a slight smile.

"You--" she snorted a laugh. "--Just. One: You're so cute talking about your crush like that. And Two: Please. Shut up so we can eat."

What will Axel's come back be? Who is this Roxas person? Find out in...
