Chapter 20 - Feeling Better and Planning the Party
~~Day 20 -- Wednesday~~
~~October 1st~~
Roxas was wary about meeting the guys at Seifer's Yum-Yums, even though it was already their decided meeting time once more. At their last lunch date Axel and Riku showed up dressed as girls like total idiots. Plus, the previous day Roxas had ducked out of his modeling responsibilities and dumped them on Axel. Roxas sighed.
" I'm sure Sora will have something to say about that…" Roxas mumbled, dragging the straightener through his hair. A small amount of gel held up the spikes in the back of his head, while his bangs and the longer parts of his hair hung straight on either side of his face in the front. He wasn't quite healed and the less suspicious, the better. "Better get this over with…"
" Roxas Edmund Saxor! How exactly do you think it looks to my clients, photographers, crew, and superiors when I can't even shoot my top model at a moment's notice?! I mean, you showed up at work, knowing there would likely be some, well, WORK involved, with your boyfriend, and intended to play him off as trained model material?! No sir! NO SIR. Never again, Roxas. Never again or I swear to Prada I will make you do the very next Swedish photo op we get!"
Sora concluded his rant with a huff and a glare, narrowing his eyes and finishing off the last of his orange spice tea. Roxas paled. He hated Swedish shoots. There was just something about dozens of blonde models parading around, surrounded by mountain goats and lieder hosen.
…o okay, so maybe he would mixing a few stereotypes together, but who cares. He was known in the business for refusing any offers from Swedish companies. End of story.
As if Roxas wasn't ashamed enough, Tidus (with the great timing he was always known for) plopped down with yet another armful of various department stores bags; it was all the evidence they needed to know where exactly Tidus has spent his morning.
" Hey, Rox! So I heard you brought Axel to work and made him do your job. Nice!" Tidus attempted as a compliment, arm raised high and waiting for a high-five. Roxas smiled weakly and gave his hand a slight tap. Tidus accepted that and moved on. "Alright, guys! It is officially October! And do you know what that means?"
Sora brightened considerably and leaned across the table towards Tidus. " Yes! It means it's time to start planning the Halloween party!" /span
Roxas squinted and sighed. He hated this time of year. He knew, he absolutely without a doubt knew, that he was about to get sucked into the inescapable vortex of Sora's party planning abilities. Halloween was Sora's favorite holiday and he always made it BIG. There was no telling what he was concocting this time. Roxas decided to stay quiet and hope that between Tidus and Sora getting excited and chattering at excessive speeds, they would forget all about him and maybe, just maybe, he could sneak away…
" Roxas! That's just where you come in! You can help us design the lights pattern. You're always so good at lights and exterior decoration!"
' Yeah, because I have so much fucking practice at it from doing it EVERY YEAR!'
Roxas smiled sweetly. "Yeah. I guess I am." He sipped he coffee-free double chocolate chip drink noisily.
" So!" Tidus chirped, "Are we doing coordinating costumes again this year?"
Oh God, please no. There's no way Roxas could possible stand another year of being the three little pigs, or Donald Duck's three nephews, or the three musketeers. No no no no no.
Sora shook his head.
" No, I was actually thinking about doing something a little more… sexy this year."
" Oo! Do you have anything in mind so far?"
" Well," Sora smiled, "I was thinking of maybe the Cheshire Cat, only…r you know, all sexy cat-boy. You know?"
Tidus was suddenly twice as excited. "Oh my god! And I could totally be the White Rabbit only all sexy bunny-boy!" They both turned to Roxas eerily slowly.
" What about you, Rox? Oh, I know! ALICE!" Sora laughed. Tidus chimed in and giggled.
" No, no. Him and Axel can be Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum!" Each of their laughter topped the other and suddenly the entire café was staring at them. Roxas smiled apologetically at the other guests. Yuna dashed over.
" Hey guys. I know you're having fun and everything and… the owner is like, your drinking buddy or whatever, but could you keep it down. And do you guys need anything else while I'm here?"
Sora held up his empty teacup. Roxas asked for a straw. Tidus stared up at her, mouth agape, eyes sparkling, a tiny trail of drool sliding down the side of his mouth. Yuna caught his gaze and smiled, picking a napkin up off the table and using it to wipe his face. She leaned in to whisper,
" You know, your face is going to get stuck like that if you keep staring." And then she kissed his forehead, smiled, and walked away to refill Sora's cup and obtain a straw.
Riku was humming softly to himself and Twixy, who was sprawled across his chest, cleaning herself. He was laid on the couch so that his back was placed on the cushions and his legs towered up the back and hung over the edge, dangling with bare feet. Somewhere down the hall, Axel was lazily getting dressed for work. How was it that he never had to go, anyways…?
Something Riku had been pondering lately became unbearable. He had to ask.
" Axel, that's it! I have to know! Why do they call you gay guys ' butt pirates'?" He called out to him.
Axel stopped mid-step as he rounded the corner. He quickly regained his composure and went to stand over Riku, spreading his legs onto either side of him and wrapping them around his waist. Riku pretended not to notice, though he was panicking internally. Twixy yawned, stood up, and trotted off towards the kitchen.
" Well, Riku… That's because… We're always…" Axel smirked, sliding both hands underneath Riku's back and lifting him up so that they were face-to-face, noses brushing together. "…After the booty." /span
Riku, who was continuing to panic, was searching his mind for something he could do to get out of his current predicament. His legs were spread wide, wrapped around his stalker and they were more-than close enough to kiss; quite passionately, at that. Aha. An idea.
Riku smiled, batted his eyelashes, and leaned forward, placing a tender, soft, and three-second kiss on Axel's surprised mouth. Directly after, Riku used Axel's new lack of composure and likely hand-eye-coordination and push him forward and duck away, following Twixy's example of kitchen hunting.
" Sorry about that, buddy. But what's a kiss between friends? Oh, and I'm still not gay. And you're late."
Axel jerked his soul back into his body, then blinked and glanced at his watch. Well, damn. He was late.
Axel grabbed his jacket and keys and went to the front door, opening it. But before he stepped through, he called into the apartment,
" I'm not finished with you yet, Riku. And I have to get off of work some time."
Prepare to shit pants in 3, 2, 1…
NS: WELL NOW! Not a whole lot happened, but then again, these chapters are mostly for character development and whatnot. Oh yeah, and it's really fucking short. Only 4 pages. D: Have a cookie for still reading our bullshit. :lessthanthree:
Oh, and we here at 100 Days have a question for the fans (the 3 of you who are still reading...). How many of you have Twitter? If we were to make a Twitter for 100 Days, how many of you would follow? It would let you guys know what was up with Days, when we're writing, when we plan to update, all that good stuff. We'd also be able to let you guys know about contests and events and we would ask for opinions on different things. Those following us would have the inside scoop on everything. Basically, you'd know we're still alive and, in fact, still writing. What do you guys think?
