Thank you all for reviewing! It made me so happy.
You yawned from exhaustion. It was early in the morning, and you were normally the first person to get to the shop when it was opened early. So naturally, you would unlock the door. You grabbed the door handle, but surprisingly, the door was already unlocked. You slowly and cautiously opened it. It was a possible break-in, because Alibaba would never come in early and SUVs would be falling from the sky if Sinbad ever did. You walked in quietly, putting your hand on the bell to stop it from ringing. NNNGNNNNGNN! You heard the sound of something vibrating behind the register, and you froze. You prayed that someone wouldn't be behind there doing...ahem. You cautiously walked over to the register and peered behind it.
"What the hell," you said straightening up and staring at the little boy with blue hair curiously holding a vibrator. How did he get in here? That was your first thought. He didn't seem to notice you at first, so you picked up an x-rated book that was near the cash register and dropped it on his head, the child's hand went to his head immediately.
"Ow!" he cried, then looked up at you. "Who are you?" he asked nonchalantly. Your eyebrow twitched. He was breaking in and he had the nerve to ask you that? You opened your mouth to say something, but you were interrupted.
"Aladdin! Where are you!" It sounded like Alibaba. The little boy popped up from behind the cash register quickly, making you almost fall back from surprise.
"I'm right here!" he called happily. Alibaba ran towards the front, but when he saw you, he slowed to a walk. You looked at him sternly.
"What's going on?" you asked, then you pointed to the boy known as Aladdin, "Who is this?" Alibaba smiled nervously, and put a hand behind his head once he made it over to you.
"W-Well," he started, "This is my cousin, Aladdin, and I'm stuck babysitting him." Your eyes went wide.
"What! You can't have a kid in here! What is he like, ten?" you said, "Why can't you bring him somewhere else? Doesn't he have school?" Your questions came out as more of a yell, making Alibaba wince.
"I told my uncle that I couldn't babysit because I was working, but he said that my type of job probably allows children there, so it shouldn't be a problem. Also, it's a Saturday so he doesn't have school, and everyone else in my family is busy. Oh, and he's twelve, " he explained.
"And I'm guessing your uncle doesn't know you work in a porn store, huh?" You asked. Alibaba looked down.
"He thinks it's a book store," he said.
"Hey, what's this used for?" Aladdin asked, still holding the vibrator. You just looked at him, as did Alibaba.
"You know, he's a lot less squeamish about this stuff than you are," You told Alibaba.
"Don't tell me what I already know," he replied.
As the day went on, you found yourself doing both of your and Alibaba's work, because he was too concerned with watching Aladdin, who somehow seemed to drift constantly to the dirty movie section. You really didn't think that Aladdin should be there. A porn store is no place for a curious child. You were so happy that there hadn't been any customers yet, but you did warn Alibaba that he would have to hide Aladdin when one came in. You were pretty sure that what Alibaba was doing was illegal, and you knew that Sinbad would not want that mess. You watched slightly amused while the blue-haired preteen ran across the store with two dildos in his hand. Alibaba soon noticed and rushed to remove them. Everything seemed to be going just fine, until you heard the shop bell ring. You froze, but somehow managed to turn your head to see who it was.
"Good morning, everyone," Sinbad said, walking in the store. He looked at you curiously for not commenting on his lateness. He smirked, "Oh? I see you aren't telling me that it's past noon. Is it?" he seemed a little confused. You smiled nervously.
"U-Ummm...I'm not sure," you said. Sinbad shrugged and walked further into the store.
"Where's Alibaba?" he asked.
"Here!" Alibaba said ,poking his head out from behind an isle. Sinbad looked at him questionably before sighing and turning back around.
"Well I have work to do," he said, "So continue doing what you're doing." You watched as he went in the back. You knew that he wouldn't be there long. It was only a matter of time before he said 'bye' and left. Alibaba slowly got out of the isle with Aladdin following him. Alibaba let out a sigh of relief before looking at the clock on the wall. "[Name]!" you heard Sinbad say.
"Yes?" you called back.
"Come here," he said. You left your post then went in the back where he was looking at an open box of DVDS.
"Yes?" you said. He pointed at the box.
"Did you open this? he asked. You thought for a second, wondering if Aladdin did.
"No, I don't think so," you said, "Maybe Alibaba did." Sinbad nodded.
"Yeah, maybe," he said, "So how was your day alone here last week?" You shrugged.
"It was a slow day so nothing happened," you said. Sinbad smiled mischievously.
"That must have been fun...you know...being in a porn store by yourself," he said. It reminded you of a certain someone.
"First of all I didn't do anything, and secondly that could be filed as sexual harassment," you said, blushing. Sinbad laughed a little.
"Well you haven't sued me yet," he said. You crossed your arms.
"That doesn't mean I like it," you said. Sinbad closed the open box of DVDS.
"You should let me take you out some time," he said. You put your hands on your hips.
"I think you already know my answer to that," you said. He shrugged.
"I'll take that as a maybe," he said. You turned around, not saying anything more and left. You walked out to the front to see Alibaba trying to confine Aladdin to one place. You just watched as Aladdin ignored Alibaba's lecturing to pick up a dirty magazine. You needed to do something to help him, but you couldn't figure out what. Normally, if Alibaba were having issues at work, depending on what it was you never paid it any mind, but he had his little cousin in a porn store, and that just wasn't right. You leaned over the register's counter as you thought of something, only to have your phone buzz. You looked at the screen. It read 'Judal'. You opened it to see what he had text you.
'Did you do last night's assignment?' A little bit after you had met him, you figured out that you both had Spartos's class together, and there was a rare day that Judal actually did his work, so he just copied off of you. He does it sometimes, only when it's convenient to him. You had thought that he was younger than you, because he and Kouha both had Ja'far's class. He was by one year, but he had similar classes with Kouha.
'Yes, you can copy' You text back. Judal had text 'okay', but you were used to it. He rarely thanked you.
"[Name], please help me," you heard. You looked up to see Alibaba panting from exhaustion, "I don't ever want to have any kids." You sighed, having an idea, and looked at your phone as you sent a text message.
"You might change your mind. Bringing him in here was a bad idea," you said, "but luckily I have a solution."
"I'm here!" Kouha called, walking through the front door, "I didn't bring a condom because I figured that they might have some here, but if you're on the pill then I don't think we should use one." Your hand hit your face at what he was saying. You should have been more specific. Kouha walked over to the register area and looked at Alibaba curiously, who was blushing from what Kouha had said. Kouha then looked at you. "You aren't alone? I don't do threesomes with other guys." Your other hand clamped onto your face.
"Kouha, I didn't text you for sex," you said. Kouha groaned.
"You should be more specific," he whined, "Your text was that you needed me right now." You nodded.
"And I do, but not for sex," you said, "Do you really think I'm that whorish?"
"You work in a porn store. Anything is possible," Kouha said, "Anyway, what do you need me for?" You pointed over at Aladdin who was sitting quietly in a corner reading a magazine. Alibaba rushed to remove it from his hands. "Why is a Kid in here?" Kouha asked.
"It's a long story, but I need you to baby-sit him. He really shouldn't be here," you said. Kouha looked back over at you.
"No kidding, but do you have anyone else you can call?" he asked.
"Not anyone that I trust," you said. Kouha smiled.
"You trust me?" he said.
"Don't get your hopes up," you said. Kouha sighed.
"Fine, but I do have some stuff to do today," he said, "Is it alright if I bring him with me?" Alibaba grabbed Aladdin and walked over.
"As long as it's not dangerous and illegal it's fine," he said with relief in his voice. Kouha nodded then looked at you.
"You're going to owe me for this. We're going on a date soon, okay?" he said. You nodded.
"Yes, that's fine, just hurry up and take him before my boss comes out," you said. Kouha grabbed Aladdin's hand and walked out the store. Alibaba watched curiously as Kouha put Aladdin in the back of his car, then drove off.
"Are you sure it's alright for Aladdin to go with him?" he asked. You looked at him.
"That was our only option," you said, "besides, Kouha seems alright, although I would have preferred this girl I met named Kougyoku, but I don't know her that well." You looked down realizing something, "I need more female friends." Alibaba patted you on the back.
"It's alright," he said.
