Oh anon! You're just so cute! I wanted to wait to continue this when I finished with my other story, but the lack of motivation is hitting me hard. Mostly because I wish I would have done a WHOLE lot different. It's good I made this one sort of a 'one-shot' series, slightly. That way I could do as I pleased.
Waking up was so much easier when you were no longer tired. It was a silly thing to think of, but with your job, it wasn't as if you could sleep in too much. It was the next day, and you knew that you would have to job hunt that day. It wasn't like you could work at the ever popular Starbucks because Kougyoku took the last remaining job there without her brothers' knowledge. You wonder if that had went through her mind and what was what caused her to offer to help you with your job hunt. Or maybe it was because she really wanted to have a sleep over at your place. It wasn't like you cared because you appreciated the help. What you didn't appreciate, though, was Kougyoku AND Kouha both coming over. Kouha stated that he also wanted to help and should get to sleep over because he's your boyfriend. You knew that was a lie since he had to work this week and wouldn't have time. The two Rens had started to get into an argument because Kougyoku claimed that she did not want to hear what you and Kouha did in the night, and that her brother was imposing. Then, since you only have one guess room they argued about who would get to sleep in the same bed as you. Kougyoku claimed she wanted to so that you could talk more and so Kouha wouldn't be tempted to try and have sex with you with her still in the apartment. Kouha used the boyfriend excuse again, but in the end you had enough and forced Kougyoku in the spare room while you made Kouha take the couch. Personally, you didn't want your sleep disturbed.
It was morning, now and you felt so well-rested. You woke up and did your morning routine before heading out of the room and following a few heavenly smells coming from the kitchen. It seemed as if the two Rens had worked out their differences and made breakfast that morning. You were thankful for that. "Morning, [Name]," Kougyoku mused as she saw you walking in. She handed you a plate of bacon, pancakes, and hashbrowns. "Ready for the hunt? Ha apparently won't be coming with us." Kouha shrugged as he went over, giving you a good morning hug.
"I have to work," he mused, "It's the start of a new season after all, so lots to do." You wondered how hard the job of a model was. Not because you were interested. No, you were FAR from interested in that. You just wondered because of Kouha. He seemed loved by the industry, not only because of his beautiful and hard to come by unconventional look, but because of his personality.
"You'll be fine, babe," you replied, not so upset that he wouldn't be coming with you. You already knew that he was busy after all. Kouha smiled and gave you another hug, kissing your cheek softly. You wondered what triggered his sudden affection, but then again this was Kouha that you were with. He could be rather lovey-dovey at times as he was one of these people that liked to express their emotion for another person a lot. Though, it wasn't as if a reason wasn't needed. He sometimes had them.
"Are you worried about me?" he asked. And there it was. Your answer had been very generic, but once again this is Kouha after all. He would take what he wanted from what he's heard and run with it. The pinkette pulled you closer, this time kissing your lips. "Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time together later. And we'll be able to have lots of fun, too~." He lightly grinded himself against you once, either seeming to forget that his sister was there or just not caring. Kougyoku seemed to care, though, as she cleared her throat.
"Don't you have to go, dear brother?" You could tell that she was getting annoyed and an annoyed Kougyoku was the exact opposite from her regular and day to day self. She was not the person to cross. Kouha did not care, though. He shrugged and kissed you one more time before moving away. You decided to just start eating. This short talk had distracted you from the amazing food that they had cooked.
"It's not like they can start without me," Kouha gave a slight laugh, "But yeah, I should be going. Good luck, babe." He waved slightly as he left the room, gathering his things before going all together. Kougyoku let out a sigh, happy to have some alone time with you. It would make things easier to make your current goal of getting a new job a reality as Kouha had had other things on his mind the previous night. You finished eating and started to drink some water. You didn't feel like drinking coffee that morning.
"So, where should we start?" Kougyoku asked, "It was by chance that I was able to work at Starbucks." You lightly rubbed your head at that one because some reason made you think that Kougyoku would have this all figured out. It had been awhile since you last had to look for a job. You remembered it all too clearly for your liking. Little Shop of Whores hadn't been your first choice. It was more or less your only choice and you did hope that this time, you would have more.
Yes, you remembered that day far too clearly.
It was a sunny and beautiful day. It did not at all match how you were feeling inside, which was frantic. You had two job interviews that day and you botched them because of how nervous you were. You could tell that there were far better people in line for them as you all had sat in the waiting room. When it was your turn you could barely stop shaking. You let out a sigh, feeling much better as you left that place. Maybe interviews just weren't for you. Least not yet. You wondered if maybe, just maybe you could find some little shops with the sign 'help wanted' on them. Honestly, you felt as if that had only happened in movies, but it was worth a try. You did this search on foot. You knew that walking would cause it to be longer, but it was better to spot these signs whose existence you doubted. You walked along the sidewalk, passing several mainstream stores, one of them being Starbucks and another being Chipotle. Of course they weren't hiring. As you walked the shops got a bit smaller and cuter. You couldn't help but to notice a big white truck in front of one store in particular.
There were people outside of it putting up a sign and a few with moving uniforms on carrying what looked like movie seats inside of it. It made you wonder if this would be a small little movie theater. One that would play cute and quirky movies or not. You looked at the store front, wondering if you could see inside. Instead a 'help wanted' sign caught your attention. Your heart soared happily as you walked into the place. You felt as if it would be easier to apply for work at a small one like this. You looked around to see several isles and people stocking items. You didn't care to pay attention to what they were as you wondered why movie seats were needed. You, though, soon noticed men bringing them to the back through another doorway. You were too busy being nosy that you didn't notice a tall figure approaching you. "Welcome to Little Shop of Whores! I take it you saw the 'help wanted' sign out front." You quickly turned around to the booming deep voice.
"Little shop of what?" you couldn't help but to ask, though your eyes widened slightly. You had never seen someone who looked quite like this man. He was tall and had long purple hair as well as golden eyes. He looked like some sort of movie star. It was so weird. There were just too many things distracting you now. You hoped that you wouldn't get overwhelmed with all of this. The man chuckled a bit.
"Little Shop of Whores. We just opened this up today," he explained, "I'm Sinbad and you are...eighteen right?" This confusion was just stacking up on you, but as if on cue you noticed someone bringing in a large prop of a huge purple cock. Your mouth nearly dropped when all of the signs had come together.
"This...This is a porn shop...," You spoke as if you were in a trance of some sort. You didn't think that your job hunting would lead you to such a place. You once again earned a chuckle from the purplette in front of you. It was obvious that you were just figuring this out. He wasn't sure if you were interested in the job now or not. Not many people would want to work in a porn shop. Especially women that weren't into that sort of thing after all. You seemed as if you weren't into it, and you really weren't.
"You're job hunting aren't you?" Sinbad asked to which you could only nod. "Well, if you're ever interested, you know where this place is." Then as if to save you from further embarrassment he walked off towards a room in the back, making you let out a relieved sigh. You hoped to not make that mistake again. You left the shop as quickly as you could, looking for more places. You found a little tea shop towards the far end with another sign on it, but as soon as you approached, you could see the sign being turned over. You let out a groan from that. That would have been the perfect place. Sadly, since this was a college place it wasn't as if you were going to get much options. It was annoying for sure and the sky was starting to darken. You were out of luck, but you needed a job.
You had no choice...You could at least check it out, right?
By the time you got back to Little shop of whores, the sign had been complete. There were two cars outside, making you raise an eyebrow. You walked in, a shop bell ringing as you did so and before you was now not only Sinbad, but a blonde as well, who looked very uneasy with his surrounding. It made you wonder if he were in the same boat as you. Sinbad looked over at you and smirked, and the little blonde seemed to shake more at your presence. "You're back," Sinbad mused, "I trust the hunt didn't go well? Neither did it for little Alibaba here." You felt as if the purplette was way too outgoing so far. You sighed and nodded.
"Unfortunately," you told him as you walked over, standing next to Alibaba. For some reason the blonde took a step away from you. In fact he was a bit far from Sinbad as well. You didn't pay much mind to him though.
"Well, as of today then, you both work for me," Sinbad announced, hands now on his hips. You and Alibaba's eyes widened up at that and you couldn't help but to tilt your head.
"T-That easy?!" Alibaba spoke the question that was on your mind as well. Sinbad nodded as if nothing was wrong with what he just announced.
"Yes, you're both adults. It should be fine," he told you both, "You still have to undergo training. Now then," he turned to you, "What is your name?"
You looked at Kougyoku, letting out a sigh, "Do you think we could walk around looking for 'help wanted' signs?" Kougyoku seemed to laugh at that and patted you on the back. You just smiled, though weren't exactly sure if you had meant this as a joke or not. It did get you a job in the first place. Though you had fond memories at Little Shop of Whores, it was a last resort job. That was something that often flew passed your mind when you thought of it.
"That's funny, [Name], but let's look on the internet to see if anyone near-by is hiring," Kougyoku pointed out to you. You nodded and went to get your laptop, thinking about how life would be different if you had done that a long time ago to look over all of your options. You were glad that you didn't.
