Job

A/N

Okay, pretend everyone is young in this except Mick Mars, let's make him his current age right now, 66. Also this is a AU which means Mick could be a fuckin witch or Axl could be Nikki Sixx's brother or wild stuff like that, okay?? That stuff won't happen, but just saying!!!

Enjoy, babes.

Slash's POV

"You're going to do amazing." I grinned, straightening the tie around his neck and flattening the ruffles on his shirt before walking into work. Izzy greeted us with a nod of his head, smiling slightly and shoving his hands into his pockets.

"Axl, this is Izzy. We have the same shifts." I push a nervous Axl towards the pale man. "Izzy, this is Axl my... Boyfriend." God, I loved saying that. 

"Nice to finally meet the person Slash always talks about." Izzy smirked, reaching a hand out and shaking Axl's sweaty one. He really did look nervous. "You'll do great, I guarantee it."

"T-Thanks." Axl stuttered, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly. "I hope so."

I wrapped my arms around the redhead, leaning up and pecking him gently on the lips, running my hands through his hair to calm him down. Just then, the door to the back room opened. 

Axl's POV

A man, or I think it was a man, stepped out of the back room and ushered me inside, not saying a word, just staring at me with a piercing gaze. I shot Slash a nervous look but all he did was grin and push me towards the person.

I stepped inside the room. It was small and cramped, band posters littered the walls and records were placed in small cabinets as trophies. It didn't look professional, but considering this was a record store and bookstore, it seemed appropriate. 

"Sit down." The person said in a gruff voice, definitely a mans. The man was skinny and tall, tiny tattoos littered his arms and knuckles, memories placed on skin. His hair was pure black like Izzy's except this guys was shorter and straight. He gave off a creepy vibe and kinda reminded me of a crow or raven.

"H-Hello, sir." I squeaked out, shuffling nervously in the chair I chose. I thought he was going to sit across from me, but instead, he sat right next to me, peering into my eyes like a vulture. "Thank you for having me in this evening."

"Axl Rose." He said in amazement. "My God, it really is you."

"I-I beg your pardon?" I cocked my head to the side and squinted my eyes. Did I know him? Maybe Slash talked to him ahead of time. I mean, of course he knows who I am, he knew I was coming in for an interview, but... He seemed to know me.

"Forget it, forget it." He shook his head. "My name is Mick Mars. I'm the owner of this place. I make sure Slash and Izzy don't tear this place apart." He chuckled a deep laugh, wheezing slightly. He looked so old, if he laughed too hard he might die right then and there.

"I see you don't have a resume." Mick raised an eyebrow. 

"Oh shit-SHOOT!" I was sweating bullets under his watchful glare. How the fuck did I forget?

"You've never had a real job, have you?" Mick sighed, giving me a pitiful smile. Behind those scary black eyes, he really did feel bad. "You know, Axl," He put a hand on my shoulder, scooting closer. I flinched. "You seem like the kinda guy whose troubled. Slash didn't say much about you so I don't know your life story."

He sighed.

"What I see is a man who wants to get his life on the right path, am I correct?" 

"Y-Yes."

"So this is what I'm going to do." He took his hand off my shoulder, relieving some of the pressure. I wiped my forehead with my sleeve. "I'm gonna give you a chance because Slash seems to think you got what it takes and I agree with him. You're hired."

"J-Just like that?" My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. "Isn't there more? I didn't even do a g-good job?"

He laughed, shaking his head a little. 

"I'm giving you one chance, Rose. You come to work everyday and on time and you'll get paid the same amount as Slash. Eleven dollars an hour plus tips. Usually I'll start newbies off on seven dollars, but because I like you, I'll bump you up."

"Thank you!" I grinned so hard my cheeks hurt. I grabbed his hand and shook it. "You won't regret it, sir!"

"I'm sure I won't." Mick shook my hand and stood up, ushering me out. 

I walked casually out the door to the back room but once the door shut and I was out of Mick's sight, I jumped in joy like a little kid.

"Slash! Slash! Slash!" I shouted, running to the counter where Slash and Izzy were discussing what Megadeth album was the best.

"I think Rust In Peace is the best-" I cut Slash off by jumping on him and engulfing him in a tight hug. "Hey, Ax! Did you get it?"

"YES!" I shrieked, kissing Slash on the cheek and hugging Izzy who stiffened and pushed me off. 

"I'm so happy for you, Axl!" Slash smiled, hugging me and kissing me back when Izzy was done pushing me off of him. "Do you wanna do something tonight? To celebrate?"

"Oh, God. Too much love in the air, I'm outta here." Izzy snorted and put his arms up in defeat, walking out of the little shop. Slash laughed and shook his head, watching his friend flip him off once he was out the door.

"You guys don't have work today?" I asked, tilting my head and grabbing Slash's warm hand. 

"Nope. It's a weekend and me and Iz don't work." Slash grinned, pulling me out the door, a warm breeze hit our faces. "Which is why we should go do something."

"Remember that long time ago when I was gonna bring you to a drive thru movie?" I smirked, gazing at Slash's carmel face. Fucking beautiful. "We should do that."

"YES! I remember! I would love to do that." Slash squeezed my hand as we skipped back to his car to drive to his house and get ready. God, how I loved this man.
