SOFT INSIDE
honey tea. flower crowns. giggling. blowing kisses. dancing without worries. white lace. soft textures. fluffy throw pillows. using too many heart emojis. empathy. constant daydreaming. handwritten letters. fairy lights. bullet journals. designated driver. warm hugs. garden picnics. quiet. smile lines. optimism. flowy clothes. pastel colors.

independent aj & corey of EMPIRE RECORDS

𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗛 … this was , without a doubt , the place for her. the grin spread wide across her lips , withholding the urge to chuckle at every word of their exchange. hardly a beat to chime in between the pair , scooting to the edge of the chair , she smoothed her hands over skirted thighs. like a tennis match she watched between for the singular beat of silence —— her moment. pushing herself to stand , extending an arm towards either. ❛ i see you two obviously have some things to work out amongst yourselves , as for me … i start T O M O R R O W. ❜
why give a moment to object? though through joe’s sudden stammering she could only guess said objections were on the brink. ❛ i know what you’re gonna say- i’m not trained , i don’t know the ropes. don’t worry , AJ here can show me the ropes. right , aj ? ❜ shifting around , she took liberty upon herself to clasp onto his hand , giving him a look —– to trust , beginning to tug him towards the door & out. hey , she wasn’t about to leave him completely in the dust , it’d be nice to start off on someone’s good side. what better way than to aid in a little rescue? ❛ he can make sure my music taste’s’re empire records approved. ❜
it was like she already belonged here . the empire wasn’t just a music store . it had a way of drawing together a crew that otherwise wouldn’t survive anywhere else . as aj hadn’t at previous jobs . he was pretty sure some of the guys had never even had gigs before coming to empire records . while others juggled their time between here and another job . any way you cut it , it was a mixed bag . any worry aj might have had for her joining the gang was put to rest by her confident direction of this interview . smiling openly , aj stood amazed staring back at his manager . joe had lost control of this situation -- like he did most things in his store -- and he knew it . aj knew the interview was concluded when the middle-aged man made a move for his drumsticks , dismissing them with a curt , “ get out of here before i come to my senses . ”
“ alright , ” aj laughed triumphantly . “ ok , so first thing , you’re new blood around here . as long as you do exactly what you did in there and don’t back down . you’ll be fine . be warned , you will be tested . ” he lead them out into the break area where most of the behind the scenes magic happened . the slamming of joe’s office door reverberated against the glass of his windows which soon was followed by the pounding of his drumkit . aj began the grand tour away from the noise toward the couch . “ i have exactly seven point five minutes to show you around before i have to relieve debra from the register . ready to start ? ”

lucas pauses, shifts his thoughtful gaze to the stack of rare vinyl hoarded in the empire records break room by their community of employees. “– good point.” he teeters temptingly on the edge of using them as bait to keep aj in the city, but eventually exhales a sigh and perches himself on one of the tables, stroking his invisible goatee. “this will be a very delicate operation…” the vinyl, after all, are staples of the shop, busted out only in moments of absolute necessity. an inkling of a mischievous smirk lilts on lucas’ lips. “but you can’t leave the empire without something to remember us by, can you?”
sketchpad over one knee , aj was perched on one arm of the couch . his attention was split between lucas’s profile and the portrait he was working on . a twinge of worry briefly crossed his preoccupied mind that mark was the one manning the checkout , but the thought quickly dissolved with the shading of his drawing . “ ha . between deb’s buttons , mark’s passed on mix tapes , your words of ... wisdom ? years of working for the empire , ” a shrug which added friction to the chaotic filling in of sketch lucas’s eyes . “ what more could i ask for , man ? ”

RIDDLED WITH NERVES. the empire was like nothing she’d ever seen before. rather, no place she’d traditionally spend time. no, no – free time was reserved for extra curriculars. anything && everything that’d look good on paper. nothing that might be deemed genuine F U N. the music drew her in, initially – that help wanted sign in the window noticed later, on her way out, drawing her right back in again on a whim. the music that was an escape. ❛ where’s the application? ❜ ‘—can you interview now?’ begging the question; was help wanted or needed ?
frazzled to say the least, the manager she’d come to know as ‘joe.’ ramblings on lack of experience && self-affirmed competence put to a hold with the intrusion. thank god, an interruption to help the nerves slide. from frazzled to annoyed she watched joe’s expressions shift. her attention moved between joe && the intruder, lips twitching at either corner in a smile. ❛ a quitter, huh. looks like i came in at just the right time. at this point i’d say, you have to hire me. ❜ keeping the stranger’s eye, tipping a wink, all she could do not to break at the manager across, ‘goddamnit, aj you are not quitting. i don’t have time for the paperwork.’
it was all coming down on him like an avalanche . his rehearsed plan of attack , or perhaps a better categorization would be SURRENDER , was taking an unexpected turn . a really dumbass smile smacked him across his face as he scrambled to recover . smoothly would be up to the judges if he managed to stick the landing . dare he dream for tens across the board . “ yeah , uh hi . i was joking . you’re new around . are you new ? i mean i’ve never seen you before so ... yeah ! it was a joke . ” he looked to joe . a life preserver . boy , he was going down . eyes back to the new girl . “ it was obviously a joke right , joe ? see , we do this sometimes . to keep joe here on his toes ... keep him from forgetting how good he has it with us . ”
as for the manager , he couldn’t look more OUT of the joke and unamused . “ like i don’t get a reminder on an hourly basis what a pack of animals you all are , ” joe grumbled . aj didn’t hear . his smile still stretched from ear to ear , his hand brushed through his long bangs . “ it’s not on the application but i’m sure joe hasn’t failed his gatekeeper duties in asking what music you’re into ... ” joe’s hands shoot up in an act of disbelief . “ you wanna conduct this interview , aj ? wise ass . ”

“ right , right welcome to the empire and all that . now . maybe you can put something to rest for us . why exactly is rexy so sexy ? ”
“I wish it could always be like this.”
“You’re always there for me.”
“The stars are the only thing that makes sense.”
“There’s more out there, you just have to be patient.”
“It doesn’t all have to be existential dread.”
“You’re so much different when we’re alone.”
“I like it when the worlds quiet.”
“There’s a place for us somewhere.”
“They’ll name constellations after you one day.”
“Your hearts beating so fast.”
“They don’t know what they want.”
“You don’t know what you want.”
“That’s what they’re supposed to say.”
“We really don’t know what we’re doing.”
“I miss the old you.”
“Nostalgias a trap.”
“Aliens are out there.”
“Did you hear that?”
“I really want pizza right now, think it’s open?”
“What time is it?”
“But why would they abduct cows?”
“We’ll all be dead soon enough anyways.”
“I wish we didn’t have to sleep.”
“What do you believe in?”
“What happens after we die?”
“Seems like a silly thing to say, don’t you think?”
“And what’s your excuse?”
“You’ll get it together soon.”
“Sometimes I feel like I’ll never have it together.”
“It’d be better if people weren’t so afraid of their feelings.”
“You keep quiet and we both lose.”
“I wish I could save this forever.”
“When did you realize you were in love with me?”
“The rooms spinning.”
“I loved you long before you knew.”
“I’m not afraid of death, I think it’ll be peaceful.”
“The Universe is too big for that.”
“Do you think we’ve met in other lives?”
“I’d come back to haunt you.”
“Would you come back to haunt me?”
“What’s alternate universe you doing right now?”
“Tell me a secret.”
“Why haven’t you told anyone?”
“I wish we knew each other sooner.”
“You’re a game changer.”
“I’m a game changer.”
“Don’t ignore fate.”
“Ignorance isn’t bliss.”
“What, is that a conspiracy theory?”
“It’s probably the Illuminati anyways.”

“ hey, joe ... hey! joe ... joe! how’s it going ... ”
a drop of water splashed back into the sink just as aj reached out to shut off the faucet. it tickled the end of his nose when it slid, but he was too distracted to register the tingling feeling. it wiggled by reflex before his eyes slid up into the mirror to watch himself wipe away the excess wash away with a scratchy towel. “ joe, it’s been real, but i don’t know if the record business and me are cut out for each other. ” fingers glide through his dark tresses, pushing them back from his forehead. a BANG comes at the door breaking him out of his rehearsal trance. “ yeah! i’m done. ” aj doesn’t see who’s cutting his time short. he’s determined. he moves toward the manager’s office and pushes through the door.
“ joe! i have to quit the empire. ” only joe wasn’t alone like he’d imagined when he was in the bathroom practicing this announcement. “ uh, i can come — i mean i ... ” a girl was in his office and she was ... was she even human? he blinked and looked back at joe to make sure he could see her too. joe piped up about not having time for his shit right now. something about being in the middle of an interview with the new hire. good news, he wasn’t crazy. bad news, he now looked like a supreme idiot. he started nodding like he fully understood. he didn’t understand anything. what had he come in here for again?
