roommates - an (AU) drabble for monet 3
Leave a "We're out of milk!" in my ask and I'll write how our characters would behave if they were housemates/flatmates/roommates.
When Hina had put an ad out for a roommate, she had met some… sketchy characters. An endless string of hopefuls had entered and promptly left through the door of her lavish apartment. Ever since her former roommates moved out, she had been on the search for someone suitable.
After an uncomfortably long interview with a perverted blonde, Hina had almost given up. And then came along Monet.
The moment she'd seen her, Hina knew they would get on well enough. The woman was the research assistant of one Caesar Clown. She definitely could afford the rent. And she was neat, quiet and most importantly, Monet did not resemble, in any way, shape, or form, a perverted water imp.
"Have I ever told you how glad I am for your existence?" Hina said, breaking out of her own thoughts. From her place on their sofa, she had a clear view of Monet. It was tax season and Monet had taken over their kitchen table with her bills.
"Mmm…?" Preoccupied as she was, Hina doubted Monet would have even noticed if she tried to kill her pet parrot… again. The month long fight that ended with an astounding loss on Hina's part had brought an extra member to their apartment. Monet's pet parrot, Harpy. How she hated Harpy.
Hina was and forever will be of the opinion that 'Harpy' was a demon-possessed beast that had broken out of the deepest levels of Hell. It was just her luck the best roommate she'd had in ages was its owner. "You know…"
"Don't even think about it, Hina." Came the reproachful and wary voice of a pet owner.
"I wasn't thinking anything. Hina's hurt, Monet."
"Crawwwk, she was thinking something! Crawwww." And there went that beast. Just who was the one tolerating its incessant racket? Hina shot the thing her patent death glare. Polly needed to shut the fuck up before Hina did something about it.
"Right…" Monet wasn't impressed but she let it drop.
"Love you too." Hina laughed.
"Craaaawww, love you, love you."
…That fucking bird.
