Review next thing up soon. No lemon trying something new out. Poly relationship.
"GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!" A voice shattered the brief period of calm that Neil had in his apartment. He stood up and sighed, hoping that everything was going to work out in the end but knowing that it probably wasn't going to. He stretched and walked out of the living room. The most expensive thing in there was the TV, it had been a group effort to buy it. He had donated the least amount of money because he was just doing an internship and the lab that he worked for said that he hadn't worked long enough to deserve money.
He went into the kitchen that lead from the front door. The one bedroom apartment was small but it was also super cheap which was good as the city was an expensive place to live. Sometimes he wished that they had moved out into the suburbs with Max and the others, but the commute to their jobs would have just been god awful.
He paused in the doorway and saw Snake, Erin and Tabii with their arms full of assorted girly crap. He looked between the three of them and Snake just looked at him and shook his head rapidly. The marine's arms were straining under the weight of all of the stuff that he had, it was everything from clothes to lamps to what looked to be a piece of furniture. Although Snake was strong he also had a limit, unlike his best friend, the scary bald fucker never seemed to get tired. Or to blink.
"So how did everything go?" Neil asked the room only for Tabii to slam herself against his chest and hug him tight enough to bruise a rib. She began slapping her little blonde head against his chest and sobbing loudly and grossly. NEil froze and then wrapped his arms around her tightly. He knew that she was sort of weirdly touched starved, her parents apparently gave love out sparingly to make sure that their daughters worked harder for it.
It was pretty messed up.
"About as terrible as you would expect." Erin said, the blue and yellow eyed woman said as she put down her own pile of crap beside the pile of crap that Tabii had unceremoniously dropped onto the floor. The blue headed girl rubbed Tabii's back in small soothing circles and patted Neil's tense shoulder.
"Well what the fuck did they say to her that caused all of this." Neil gestured down to the red faced snot nosed cyclops as she shivered against her tallest boyfriend.
"Mostly how she was a deviant and how they preffered their weird eight toed grandbaby that her sister and cousin gave them over her. She's out of the will and so on." Snake said as he put the pile down neatly so that it would not fall apart into a million pieces. He pulled out a carton of cookies from the cabinent and a pint of ice cream from the freezer. It was the expensive kind saved for when one member of their little polygamy group had a bad day. And more or less being disowned by your parents was a pretty bad day.
Snake nudged Tabii's hand with the cookies and a spoon. She grabbed them and moved around Neil until she was practically drapped across him but still had access to the sweets. She shoved a cookie in and then offered one up to Neil. He took the sweet and chomped down before turning back towards the living room. The sound of the documentary was playing in the background. It was about angler fish.
"They hate me. And don't want me. And I'm ugly and weird." Tabii said bluntly and damply, her mouth wet with tears and snot. She felt lower then crap. She felt lower then when she lost her eye. She felt lower then when she suffered her first break up.
"So what? They're the ones who are weird." Erin responded as Neil more or less lead Tabii to the couch and sat her down. He handed her the remote and she instnatly switched the channel to some chick flick, she liked chick flicks they made her mind turn off for extended periods of time because she had watched them all over and over and over and over and over again. Her slut of an older sister had forced her to and told her that was how she got a man or a relationship. But since Tabii's older sister was now married to her cousin and had a creepy gross eight fingered baby she was probably not the best person to go to for advice anymore.
Tabii moaned in dissapointment at Erin's response. The blue haired tanned girl grabbed a blanket and through it over Tabii. The four of them had started dating in college, it had began with Tabii and Snake. They met at a dance and she had been trying to get over Neil, even though they never actually dated her feelings for him were legit and she didn't know how to properly handle them. So she tried to jump into the dating scene and get it all out with Snake. For a little while the two were happy, but then time passed and they realized that there was something missing from their relationship.
Or in this case two people missing. Neil and Erin had been interning at the same lab building by their college campus and had started to get lunch together, just to talk and because they were the only people that the other knew. She had been nervous at first, she had gotten good grades and kept a float in school, but had never applied herself enough to go as far as she wanted to academic wise.
Neil was the opposite and had become so stressed that he had to find a lower level job or else would have honestly gone insane. So they would hang out, get lunch and eventually this lead to them getting drinks after work, her walking him home, him driving her home. He still had a crush on her and was awkward and a little cringey at times, but he forced himself to try and move past it.
She had asked him out on a date in order to...well not in order to do anything. He was smart, he was sweet, and he didn't do anything too weird. Well too weird for a social awakward nerd with low levels of social interaction.
Their first double date as 'couples' went about as well as could be expected. Two fires, one arrow and a bank robbery later the four of them had drunkenly cuddled until the sun came up just talking. And just like that they moved in together and were sort of a thing. It was a private thing at first, not telling any of their friends because they had no idea how anyone would react. In fact they had been very silent about the entire situation and most people just assaumed that they were four very close friends.
Neil, Max and Nikki were very close friends. Whatever the four of them were really fell more in the category of lovers. Or lovers with benefits, sweaty amazing mind blowing benefits.
They had decided that since they were all in their mid twenties it was about time to tell their parents what they were doing at least. Tabii was the second to last and this was pretty easily the biggest screw up so far. Erin's parents had been shocked, Neil's dad was creepily supportive and Snake had not told his parentals yet.
But Tabii...this was rough they could tell that this probably changed a lot of things, not just for her but in general.
The four young lovers all sat on the couch. Tabii in the center with Snake and Neil on either side of her and Erin wrapping her arms around Neil's shoulders. They sat and stared blankly at the screen as Tabii continued to stuff her face and sniffle in annoyance.
"Those fucking assholes." Neil said to the room. Tabii crushed a cookie in her hand before tossing it at the tv in a fit of rage. She took a deep breath, her face resembled an arodable strawberry and she began to rant, rave and foam at the mouth in anger. They waited for it to pass, not confirming or denying it, but jsut waiting out the storm as she yelled and screeched about how she hated her parents, her life, her one eye and herself.
She finally took a deep breath and returned to her normal color.
"I'm like fine now." She said drained. Snake patted her on the shoulder before kicking up a box of tissues from the floor and offering her one. She wiped her face in disgust and tossed it away.
"Well at least you know they are all bigoted trash. And you never have to see them again." Erin said casually to her girlfriend. Tabii sniffed before wiping at her nose and pulling a disgusted face.
"And at least you have us." Neil said hopefully as he leaned over and kissed the crown of her blonde head. She smiled and snuggled between the strong arms and the noodle arms that held her. She was drained and tired and snug and within seconds fell into sleep. Neil sat up straighter and shivered in delight when he felt a sweet pair of lips kiss her cheek.
"What was that for?" He asked Erin in confusion. She shrugged casually.
"You're a good guy. You deserved it." Neil smiled bashfully and blushed even deeper when Snake leaned over and kissed his other cheek. Before nodding towards his one awake girlfriend.
"What she said." Neil smiled and leaned back. It was still technichally his day off and he wanted to spend it with these three and relax. Tabii snored in contentment as the movie began to end, she was warm, snug and safe with her new family. She didn't need the trash that raised her.
Review. Next thing up soon.
