Spirit Albarn x Fem!Host!Reader (Soul Eater)

She stared up at the building in question.

"Ah, I don't know if I should..." She trailed off. She shuffled nervously on the sidewalk and pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. She fiddled with the hem of her (f/c) shirt. She hesitantly took hold of the railing of the stairs. She took a deep breath and began the trek up the stairs.

"Breathe, (y/n). Breathe. You just have to go in there and ask." She stopped in front of the door and cautiously opened it to the foreign environment. She took a step into the place and scanned the room. A man with greasy looking hair approached her. He grabbed her hand in his meaty one and placed a light kiss atop it. She both cringed and squeaked, her face flushing in embarrassment.

"How can I help a pretty lady like yourself?"

"Uhm, I'd like to apply here? For the job?" You asked politely.

"We've been searching for a beauty such as yourself. And your name?" He exclaimed, dragging her over to the bar. You flinched at his tight grip around your wrist.

'Jeez, this guy needs to let go before he rips off my arm.' You thought. "(Y/n) (L/n)." He sat you down and then struggled into the chair one over from yours.

"Do you have any experience with this kind of work?" He asked. You fiddled with your hands.

"No, but! I'm a fast learner and i can work efficiently." You rushed.

"I like your enthusiasm! We can have you be the innocent one!" He grinned at your "enthusiasm." You nodded frantically.

"Anything you want boss!" You said, leaning forward. He laughed heartily. He hired you on the spot. You thanked him about thirty-three times before rushing off to your apartment. You fumbled with your keys.

You jammed the key into the lock before opening then slamming the door shut behind you. You slowly slid down the door to your fake, linoleum floors.

"What have I done."

----------------------------

You arrived to your new job the following morning, a hour before the place actually opens. Your boss seemed to brighten at your appearance.

"Welcome back, (y/n)!" He greeted you before grabbing your elbow and guiding her through a curtain into the back. He made a few turns down a hallway and stopped at a door. "Here's the dressing room! You can get ready here. I'll introduce you to a few of our top requests."

"Alright, thanks boss." you murmured. He guided you lightly by the elbow, pulling you through a thin crowd of women. You passed through a cloud of a pungent, sweet perfume. You coughed to the side, hoping no one noticed your near death experience. He stopped in front of a busty brunette, wearing fish net stockings and short shorts.

"This here is Baby Doll. Baby Doll, this is (y/n). She's a new recruit." your boss introduced. You stuck your hand out and gave a nervous smile. She glanced at your hand before she took it in hers, giving a firm shake.

"Nice to meet ya', newbie. I'll give ya' your first stage name." She offered. You nodded, eyes brightening at the fact that you could be pleasing a new co-worker. She eyed you up and down. "Sweet Pea."* You smiled actually liking the sound of it.

You began dressing in tiny shorts (even shorter than Baby Doll's) and a light pastel green tube top, accompanied by baby pink stilettos with natural makeup.

"Nice face." A girl said sitting next to you. You smiled politely.

"Thank you." you turned to meet her eyes.

"The name's Rocket." she mumbled. Her tan legs were crossed over one another, she wore a sparkly red halter top and ripped up jeans.

"I'm Sweet Pea. Nice to meet you."
