You guess you'd say you're actually pretty lucky, all things considered. There's really not much to complain about, but you'll be damned if anyone ever knows that. You make it a point to complain pretty much always. If you didn't, you're friends would probably all get worried about you! But Feferi never takes it too much to heart. Of course there's the occasional nit-picking or snapping at each other, but what else can you expect from roommates? Sometimes she's a little too perky first thing in the morning or sometimes you get irritated when she invites people over without informing you, but at the end each day, you're both still friends.
Feferi wouldn't exactly be your first pick among your friends that you'd think to move in with when you moved out for college, but that's just how it worked out. Sollux had to move in with his brother some 20 minutes away from the school, and you needed to be closer because of your lack of a fucking car. Dave moved in with John, Rose, and Jade. Four people to one two-bed, can you believe that? It's a relatively HUGE apartment, but still. You'd considered Kanaya, but she insisted on moving into the shitty, over-priced dorm rooms. Eridan had also offered you a place, but, hm, let's see, fuck that. There was Terezi, but you think that'd be pretty awkward with Dave coming over all the time, and the fact that they're dating, and you're trying to be the good I've-moved-on-and-am-super-happy-for-you friend that you should be.
So when Feferi asked if you were still looking for a roommate, you'd have probably said yes even if the apartment were a complete shithole, which, surprisingly, it's not. For how cheap it is it's pretty nice, actually. Like you said, you can't really complain.
You'd moved in about… 3 months ago maybe? It hasn't been that long. But a lot of things have already gone to shit. Aradia dropped out probably just a fucking month into the year! She left town and went to some other school for archeology or some shit like that. Sollux doesn't seem too torn up about it, though. He's actually already dating Feferi, and Aradia and him are still really good friends he says, which is great because your friend's happy and since he's dating Feferi, he comes over a lot. You prefer to keep to yourself a lot, but you don't mind socializing every now and then, especially when it's with Sollux. I guess maybe him being a common really close friend also probably helps keep things chill between you and Feferi? Whatever.
You shrug the thought off as you leave the mostly-empty living room and wave to Feferi and Sollux and inform them that you'll be going to bed soon. Sollux makes some snide comment somewhere along the lines of "Bull2hiit, you never 2leep." In response to which you shake your head from side-to-side, make the ugliest face you can muster, and make sure to mimic his stupid lisp while flipping him off.
IT's not long after you walk into your bedroom and get settled into your bed, minus your pants and plus a laptop, that your "best friend" sends you a text. He actually is your best friend, but it sounds so stupid coming out of your mouth that you can't stand to say it with a straight face. The "best" part of that title should be mutually understood, but unspoken; for the most part at least. You look away from your laptop to focus on the number of texts you just got from Gamzee.

(Short chapter, I know. I already have more where this came from, but I wanted to get what I can uploaded so far. Expect another update in the next few days or so. And please be patient with me while I try to figure out how to work this website hahaha.)
