Into the New World
Summary: Asami x Akihito. Akihito is a freshman, finally venturing out of his hometown to the bigger cities. Since young Akihito has never really like his hometown, but now that he's finally out. What is waiting for him? Slight comedy and Angst. AU setting. M for later chapters.
Warning: Unbeta'd, horrible grammar, misspells, run-ons and so on. (hahaha it rhymes)
Chapter 1: Work it
"Who the fuck are you?!"
His slender finger remained pointing at the said man in his birthday suit with water glistening down his ripped body. Akihito could help but slowly look down to and to his surprise the man didn't give a shit but smirked when he blushed like a madman.
"Who am I? Do you want to know?" Maybe it was the way the man said that made him blush harder but was it out of frustration or embarrassment, he himself has yet to know. It was just that condescending tone and the look in those golden eyes that were looking down at him. IT PISSES HIM OFF!
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!" Akihito exploded. Akihito was about to walk over there and shank the taller man. Even if he is shorter and smaller in size does not mean he can't bite right?
As if it was like a calling Takato, Kou and a new person slammed the door open.
"Aki, what happened?" Kou asked right away, walking to him.
Akihito didn't say anything but lift his chin towards the naked man.
Kou looked. Asami was still standing as proud as ever, naked. With no shame in the world.
"Asami-san!" Kou blushed too quickly turned his head back to Akihito. "Please get some close on!"
"Who is he?" Akihito asked almost crudely not hiding his hateful stare.
"Oh.. remember how I told you there are three other tenants that are always in business trip or what not? Well, Asami-san here is one of the three, as of Suoh-san here is too," kou explained as clear as possible as he introduced a big blond man.
Akihito turned his hateful glares to peer at the blond and quickly made a polite (awkward) self-introduction, "Nice to meet you, my name is Takaba Akihito. I just moved into room 203" and then went back to staring daggers at 'Asami'.
"I'm Suoh Kazumi, living at room 201." Suoh replied to be polite.
"And I am Asami Ryuichi, living at 202. Let us be friendly in the future feisty kitten."
After the awkward self-introduction, the situation somehow got cool down when Asami suddenly left the bathroom. Thank god he did, because Akihito was ready to bite the man, naked or not. Hot or not. No one is safe when Akihito's (mood) is black.
In the same hour, Akihito walked to campus. The walking distant was a short 10 minutes and if he were to run he can make it in less than 5.
Because of this mysterious tenant he met, his whole morning was sour despite the Sakura trees blooming in full blossom.
He has four classes. Photography, being his one and only savior of the week while the others were general eds where all first years are obligated to take. Well at least Takato and Kou are with him one of those classes.
By the end of today, he knew he had to find a job quick. The books and materials were a lot more expensive than he initially hoped and thought. Damnit! I need a freakin' job fast and quick!
Even with his savings from work and latest paycheck; his current life style won't last for more than half a year because, life in the cities plus expense are just different compared to the his hometown. Moreover, the rent (plus food and cooking fee to the landlord*), school expenses like books, photography, snacks/ eat for fun, outside grocery/ take outs (if need) and entertainment.
By the time Aki came back, the landlord greeted him back. Akihito returned the greeting and went straight towards his room to come up with a plan, do researches for hiring and resumes. By the end of the week he handed six resumes to a few bakeries, café and family restaurants and three to night bars and what not.
He is personally hoping that he can get a daytime job, just because of his experience with drunk ossans, and random people's gropes and what not; he vowed to not go back to something similar to it. But on the other hand, if it's necessary or in need of money than…there's no other way.
And he got a part job at the local club. More like he has two jobs, one in the morning-afternoon at a café- Rummy Cat- and the club, the Fixer.
He was so happy when he got called in for the interview for Rummy Cat. When he was told he was hired, he couldn't believe his ears. The owner and manager who is an older man in his 50s and his wife runs the shop. Surprisingly, the old couple took a liking to him because of his honesty, bright personality but most of all his sun like smile. Hence they desired him. Akihito felt like he was blessed for the couple's decision and quick fondness. But never the less he was grateful.
But when he received the call from one of the clubs, he was clearly not excited.
Not that he's happy to work at a bar/club again, but at least the Fixer was in some way better than his previous…uhh just remembering about Catherine and those スケベsukebe ossans (pervy middle aged men) was just enough to send shivers to spine. Hell! Even Fixer has better wages and the manager/ interviewer said its okay to keep any tips from customers, once the interview was over. And again for some reson the blonde model like manager seemed to take a liking at him…not that he's too happy about it. But at least he's hired?
Aki literally smiled when he thought back to what the manager said, because those tips are what he would possibly need just to live a 'peaceful' with no economic difficulties.
Looking at his schedule, he knew its packed, but if he can just adjust it better by next semester it will be all fine.
Akihito's schedule:
Monday: Economics (9am-12 pm), Rummy Cat (1pm-7pm)
Tuesday: Photography (8am-11am), Statistics (1pm-3:30pm)
Wednesday: Economics, Rummy Cat (
Thursday: Photography, Statistics
Friday: Chemistry+lab (from 10am-4pm) Fixer (9pm-2am)
Saturday: Fixer (8pm-2am)
Sunday: Rummy cat (9am-6pm)
To be continued.
