Shit. Shit. Shit. I'm writing this aren't I? Oh frick. Alright let's do this.
Melon Bread and Pizza
Rosalind Nacht enjoyed the peaceful moments. It was nights like this when she could curl up in bed, comforter covering everything from toes to nose, and not think about busy schedules for the next day. She breathed in the familiar scent of the room. It wasn't her room but it might as well have been seeing how often she stayed here. She would have already closed her eyes and sleep but right now she was waiting for someone special.
The sound of the door opening made her look up and smile. The sight of a red head holding a plate with melon bread on it had never looked so beautiful to her.
"Midnight snack?" she fondly asks.
"Yup!" the red head, Rintsuki Inugami, happily replies.
Rosa pulled the covers back so Rin could climb in easily and greeted her with a peck on the cheek as she sat down. The red head set the plate on the bedside table and grabbed one of the pastries and took a hearty bite out of it. The delight on Rin's face was apparent as she chewed. How bread could make someone so cheerful, Rosa would never know.
"Want a bite?" Rin offered with a smile as she handed one to Rosa.
"I'm not hungry anymore" Rosa shook her head politely to decline. "Besides, I've been eating melon bread for two weeks straight. I'm almost sick of the stuff."
Poorer words have never been chosen. Rosa noticed how unusually quiet it had gotten and how the chewing of melon bread has stopped. She watched as Rin set down her unfinished piece of bread back on the plate and faced her.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
One wrong move and Rosa could end up dead on the sidewalk.
"I just mean that if you eat too much of the same thing you'll eventually get tired of it" Rosa said as calmly as possible. Rin wrath was definitely something she did not want to invoke anytime soon.
"You mean the same way you eventually got tired of pizza?" Rin nearly spat out.
"Hey" Rosa frowned "At least pizza has different flavors so you don't really get tired of it."
"Oh is that so?"
"Yeah it's so."
They stared each other down, frowns on both their faces indicating their annoyance. They were both holding back, not wanting to say anything that would make it worse. The two have fought a few times already but this was their first time fighting over something as trivial as food. Although if you asked them, it's never a trivial topic when it comes to food.
Finally, Rosalind sighed "I'll sleep on the couch tonight."
She grabbed her pillow and stepped off the bed. Fighting was normal; she knew this but she did not want them to fight over melon bread and pizza. She would let them both cool down, like freshly baked cookies, for the night. This was definitely one cookie she was not willing to grab while still hot.
Rosa walked downstairs to the living room and threw the pillow, and herself next, on the couch and tried to sleep. Damn, no couch could ever replace the heavenly comfort that the bed brings. Not after all the comforter cuddling Rosa did just a few minutes prior.
With closed eyes she tried to find a good sleeping position which wasn't easy considering the inadequate size of the couch.
"Come on" Rosa heard someone say as she tossed and turned.
She quickly sat up, legs folded in a butterfly position, and looked up. The angry frown she expected to see was no longer there and a concerned pout replaced it.
"You're too dramatic sometimes" Rin said as she grabbed Rosa's pillow. "Just go back upstairs with me ok?"
A smile formed on Rosa's lips as she stood up and took the pillow back from "I'll make sure you get a month's worth of melon bread. Does that sound good?"
Rin all but dragged Rosa upstairs, concealing a smile "As long as you eat half of it then we're good."
"There's something else I'd want to eat before that though" Rosa winked.
"G-go back to the couch!"
