"He kissed my hand, Kairi," said the flaxen haired girl, flipping said hair over her shoulder. She looked up at the girl with wine-colored hair, who she'd called Kairi. Kairi raised her eyebrows.

"Why didn't you call me?"

"I don't know. I was busy."

"Urgh, you're so lame," Kairi said, rolling her eyes as the first customer of the day walked in. He took his usual spot at the counter and looked up as the blonde, eyes bright with mischief.

"Speaking of lame," he said. "Where's your brother?"

"How should I know?" she replied, leaning over the counter and playing with his scarlet locks. "He was out all night. I think he was with a girl, too, Axel."

"Okay," said Axel. "Why does it matter that he's with a girl?"

Kairi sat on the stool next to him and laughed.

"You say that like you don't try to seduce him every time he's in the room."

"Speak of the devil," said the blonde, as an equally blonde boy walked in, throwing his weight against the glass door to open it instead of using his hands. His hair stood in every direction as he wobbled over to a stool and flopped on it, throwing his head onto the counter which was softly cushioned by his arms.

"Did you get laid or something?" Kairi asked, smirking.

"Shut up."

"Did you come home last night, Roxas? Apparently not, considering that you're wearing the same thing you had on yesterday."

"I said, shut up, Naminé."

The group fell quiet as a group of customers walked in. For a moment, no one moved. Then, slowly, Kairi stood and walked over, seating them far away from the counter. Naminé looked at her brother, confused.

"Come on, Rox. Let's go into the back room. You can clean yourself up and talk to me."

"Leave me alone," he spat, standing up and thrusting her aside to get into the kitchen. Naminé blinked and turned to Axel.

"Can I get you something to drink?" she asked, her voice strained.

"A Sprite would be nice."

"You got it."

She got a glass and filled it up with the sticky liquid. Flipping her hair again, she placed it in front of Axel, who looked at her sadly.

"Go," he said. "I'll pretend I work here."

Naminé smiled.

"You're the best," she replied. "If Roxas ever decides that he's gay, I hope he ends up with you."

This caused Axel's face to become extremely pale and bright red. She didn't wait to see what he was going to say and walked into the kitchen. She glanced around.

"Bathroom," Olette, a cook, said.

"Thanks," she smiled. Walking past the brunette, she went into the small white hallway and stopped at the second door to her left. She knocked hesitantly. A sigh followed. She opened the door and slipped into the small room. Roxas stood over the sink, face dripping wet. "What happened?"

"Hayner. I went with him after work to this party. It's all a blur, but I remember taking pills. And I think I screwed some girl. I don't even know her name."

"Shit, Roxas!" she cried, tilting his head, so that he could look her in the eye. His pupils certainly weren't a normal size. "You think you did, or are you using think to soften the blow?"

"I don't remember."

"Roxas!"

"I don't! Okay! Don't yell at me, my head hurts. And it's not like I don't feel bad enough already. I don't you think I've tried to remember? I can't. So leave it be."

He sat himself down next to the counter and Naminé maneuvered herself next to him. He laid his head on her shoulder softly, and her face held the ghost of a smile.

"I'm sorry," she said softly. "Maybe you should take today off and get some sleep."

"Nah," he sighed. "I need the money."

"I can loan you some," she responded, standing up and offering him a hand. He took it and shook his head.

"I'm fine. I don't want to be in debt to you, anyhow."

She smiled at him. He smirked and wrapped his arms around her.

"But thanks for offering."

"You're quite welcome. Now, come on. Axel hasn't had time to seduce you any yet."

Roxas laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Get out, I'm dressing."

Naminé sighed as she was pushed out of the room. She leaned on the wall and waited a few moments. He came out shortly and they walked back to the main room. Pushing on the door, she got a glimpse of silver hair.

"EEP!" said Naminé, jerking Roxas back into the kitchen.

"What the hell?"

"That's the man who kissed my hand yesterday! Riku!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well maybe if you came home, you would know."

"Shut up," he replied and walked through the door, leaving Naminé no choice but to follow.

"What can I get for you?" she asked Riku sweetly.

"Just water for now."

"Sure."

As she grabbed a glass and filled it, she saw him and Axel speaking out of the corner of her eye. Cursing in her head, she brought the glass over.

"I see you met one of our regulars," she said, gesturing to Axel. "He's here every day to try to seduce my brother."

"He's hot," said Axel shrugging. "And he's really nice, which is a plus."

"That's cool," said Riku. "To each their own."

Naminé raised an eyebrow and laughed at Axel. The place quickly became crowded and she no longer had time to talk to them. But as he left, he waved at her gingerly. She waved back quickly and returned to her work. Grabbing tips, taking orders, bringing food. Only pausing to laugh at Roxas' flustered face when Axel tried to flirt with him. And she came upon something odd.

At closing time, Kairi came to the counter to help Naminé finish cleaning.

"You look like you accidentally ate an ice cream sundae," Kairi said, laughing. "What's up?"

"I'm glad to see that you find my lactose intolerance funny," she said flatly. "The guy who kissed my hand came back today."

"Oooh!" said Kairi, being the gossip queen she was. "Who was he?"

"The silver haired one that was sitting next to Axel."

"He was cute!" Kairi cried.

"Yeah, and he left me this-" she threw down a twenty dollar bill, "-and this." A red rose landed on the counter.

Kairi just laughed.

"Su novio no seré bien como esto."

"Your Spanish sucks."
