Back down in Brooklyn, I'm so hard
Naked with the lady, crashed my car
Maxed out all of my credit cards, black out in Brooklyn
Brooklyn!
Ryuu had finished his work shift finally and decided to head down to HMV and buy some new tunes. Well, that was the other thing he was going to do. He’d heard from someone that Bill worked there now, and Ryuu really, really liked the idea of having a good look. He wasn’t too interested in the fact his best friend, Alex, worked there too. It was all about Bill these days.
He sauntered into the store like he had a purpose, and made a beeline for the rock & roll section. Picking up random CDs with pretty covers, he used it as a cover for when he looked up to see if he could spot Bill. He couldn’t see either of the guys at the moment, and he frowned slightly. Had they already gone home? He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of disappointment.
At this point, Ryuu spotted a CD with just Chad Smith’s drumming on, and he grinned. This grin slowly faded when he realized it was out of stock. Suddenly he formed a plan. He strode over to the counter, and tried to look through the one way glass panel in the staff door, with out success. Hopefully Bill would come and serve him. If Alex came…well…he had a plan for that too…he hoped.
Heading out to Detroit, got the call the motor city's jumping
Maybe I should stay
Curtain calls coming, we'll have to stall, a red heads finding her way back stage
I see her coming this way
I get in I get out jump in a cab at a quarter to midnight
I show up we get down and the party gets started again

Bill had been standing behind a rack of posters, putting some of the new releases out when he saw Ryuu enter the store. He quickly shifted to make sure the older boy didn't see him, he really wasn't in the mood for Ryuu's shit. He groaned as he realized he'd just put the last cd out, in order to get the rest, he'd have to leave his perfect hiding spot.
Placing his hand on his hip, he stood awkwardly behind the posters and frowned when he noticed Ryuu at the counter. Knowing he'd get in trouble if he kept a customer waiting, and not wanting to get fired, he slowly forced himself up to the counter. As he got there, he placed a smile on his face, as he'd been trained to do, and greeted the boy in front of him, "Hi, welcome to HMV. Can I help you with something?"

Ryuu grinned when he saw Bill come out from his hiding place, and couldn’t help but chuckle slightly at his hands-on-hips thing he had going on. He leant on the counter, expression as alluring as possible, and a sly smile creped onto his features.
“Hey babes. I was wondering if you had any of the ‘Chad Smith Drumming Classics’ left. Or maybe some free time?” he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, glancing towards the store cupboard. He crossed one leg over the other, so that he had to look a long way up to stare at Bill. His hat was pulled so low over his head that it nearly covered his eyes, because he still had ‘Bill hair’ from his shower. He felt a little bad for being such a jerk to Bill all the time, but only a little. It was such fun taking the piss out of him all the time.

Bill saw the look on Ryuu's face and it took all his self control to keep himself from doing something that would get him fired. Why was it always him, why couldn't Ryuu pick on someone else? He rolled his eyes as he heard Ryuu call him babe and let out an audible sigh at his comment. Turning to the computer that was sitting on the counter, Bill started typing. "Chad Smith Drumming Classics" he muttered, just under his breath. He frowned when he saw that they had one copy left. He'd been hoping that they would have none and he'd be able to make Ryuu go away.
He quickly turned on his heel, heading for the back room. Normally he would have let the customer know what he was doing, but Ryuu someone he wanted to waste his breath on. It took him a minute to find it before he made his way back to the counter. Once there, he shoved the disc across. "Anything else?" he asked, trying his hardest to be polite.

He had to try very hard not to laugh at Bill, he was just hilarious. He was more girlish than some of the girls he hung out with. Tapping his fingers on the counter whilst he waited, he wondered how on earth he could get in to Bill’s good books…The CD being slammed down onto the counter roused him from his thoughts, and he stood up straight, getting out his wallet and fishing out a $20 note, putting it down and sliding it across the counter slowly.
“Hum…yes, actually,” he smiled as pleasantly as he could without snickering, and racked his brain for something he could persuade Bill to do with him with the least pain, “Want to get a coffee?” he said quickly, glancing at the floor and sucking in his breath, hoping to hell Bill wouldn’t notice the blush that was creeping up his neck.

Bill rang the CD through and looked at Ryuu, "$16.78 please," he muttered as he snatched the money off the counter. He quickly placed it in the till and counted the change, holding it out for Ryuu, "$3.22 your change."
Picking up the disc, he placed it in a bag along with the receipt as Ryuu spoke. Get a coffee.. with him? ha! As he held the bag out to Ryuu, he leaned in to speak, knowing that he could possibly get in trouble should someone overhear him. "Why the fuck would I want to get coffee with you?" he asked, standing upright, eyebrow raised, waiting for Ryuu to take the bag from him.

Ryuu took the change, and rolled his eyes. Bill was really pissed off with him and he’d hardly said anything rude today. He took the bag, deliberately brushing his hand against Bill’s in the least obvious way possible, and tipped his head on one side, looking hurt.
“Gosh, Bill, I thought you were nice than that. But if looks could kill…well, I think my heart just stopped,” he smirked, eyes hooded in the alluring way again. He put one hand on his hip in a mocking way, mimicking Bill’s ‘Diva Queen Pose’.

Bill pulled his hand back as Ryuu's brushed against his, as though he was going to get a disease. He narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to say something, but thought better of it. Instead, he just rolled his eyes at Ryuu's statement and watched as he mocked him.
Suddenly, a small smirk grew on his face. He hadn't taken a break yet and he was starting to get hungry. He looked the older boy right in the eye and leaned forward on the counter, placing his chin in his hands. He threw him a sweet smile. "I'm sorry. I'm just not having a good day. I'll go if you're paying." he said, looking up hopefully.

Grinning stupidly, he dropped the pose and looked at the floor, chuckling slightly.
“Did you really expect me to make you pay? I’m sure you have far better things to spend your money on,” he winked, and gazed around slightly. Where was the nearest coffee place? The food court…how classy. He walked away from the counter a bit, and turned back to smile at Bill,
“Coming then, or do you need to do your nails first?” he asked, deadly serious.

Bill started to laugh at Ryuu's money comment, then stopped himself. He wasn't supposed to enjoy himself. Although, he knew that it he wanted free food, he'd have to be somewhat friendly, so he offered an awkward smile before walking out from behind the counter. Upon hearing the comment about his nails, he rolled his eyes, "Shut up. I just have to go tell my boss." he said, and quickly made his way to the back room.
Coming back out, he slipped next to Ryuu, making sure to put distance between the two. He was going for the free food, that was all. He didn't want the older boy to be getting any ideas. As they exited HMV, he looked around and frowned realizing that he'd have to eat mall food. Sighing, he trudged along beside Ryuu.

Ryuu snorted, remembering how he would leave work early without even telling anyone. He did it so often, and he was sure he was due for being fired, but somehow he just kept getting second chances. He had a hunch that the assistant manager had a little crush on him…but then again, he had a hunch that everyone had a crush on him.
Walking through the mall, he had to shove his hands in his pockets to stop himself touching Bill in any way, but he did walk a bit closer than Bill had originally intended on. They reached the food court, and he headed for the café Nero. It wasn’t his favourite, but it was the only one. Getting in line, he glanced at the menu, what would Bill get? He doubted he’d choose anything cheep, and he frowned at his meagre amount of cash left after buying the CD. However, he wondered if the girl serving would be as easy to charm as the girl in Club Sierra.

Bill followed Ryuu to the line for cafe Nero and mimicked his actions. Looking up, he couldn't decide what to get. He was tempted to go for the most expensive things there, but knew he'd be angry if he was paying for someone and they purposely did that. However, it was Ryuu.. He sighed and placed a hand on his hip, biting his bottom lip as he tried to make a decision. He made a face as he looked over at Ryuu, "What are you getting?" he asked, just above a whisper.
ooc: sorry for the short-ness :\

Brooklyn! Ryuu glanced at Bill, and couldn’t help but blush. He looked so cute like that! Scratching the back of his head awkwardly, he finally decided. “I’m getting an ice smoothy. What do you want?” he asked, as they were nearly at the front of the line. He bit his lip, and tried not to say something stupid. Maybe if he just…cooled it a bit, Bill would come round? Ryuu tended to be very in-your-face, no matter what he thought of you, and he really resented that sometimes. He was a love-it-or-hate-it kind of person. And Bill seemed to hate it. A lot.

Sighing loudly, Bill licked his lips before speaking, "I think I'll have.. a coffee, black." He stated, his hunger having disappeared all of a sudden. He didn't even really want the coffee, he just wanted to go back to the store, away from Ryuu. Being near him was making him uncomfortable and he shifted away, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.
Looking at the floor, Bill couldn't help but feel a little bad. He thought back to what Tom had said, and wondered if maybe he should give Ryuu a chance, instead of being such an asshole. He hadn't ever really done anything to deserve the treatment he was getting from him. He caught Ryuu's eye for a second and forced out a smile, hoping it didn't look too fake. If Tom was such good friends with him, then he must not be all that bad.

He nodded, and smirked at a little private joke.
“Black? Like your soul!” he laughed, putting on an evil/Transylvanian accent for extra kicks. He suddenly remembered he was supposed to be cooling it with Bill. Placing his order, the girl serving nodded, flicking her hair flirtatiously and giggling when he smiled, giving him one of those stupid spoons with a number on and he paid her, seriously unimpressed with her attempts to flirt with him.
He went over to an empty table at the corner of Nero’s eating area, and sat down, grinning at Bill.
“Hey…look…” he trailed off, staring embarrassedly at the table. Would Bill just think he was joking again, or would he be all fake and cheery but really inside want to rip his guts out? Well…only one to find out, “I…I’m really sorry for being a jerk…I…Just don’t know how to act around- sometimes,” he frowned, stopping himself for letting slip he fancied Bill just in time, and fiddled with the spoon anxiously.
