Human AU. From the Imagine your Otp blog on tumbler: Imagine Person B calling Person A for the first time by their name and their new married surname.
"I think that's the last of it." Vinnie said triumphantly as he sat the cardboard box down on the floor.
He looked around the room to take a mental inventory. Boxes scattered the floor and counter, ugly beige walls glared against the light, and dust collected in corners. The apartment wasn't nice but it was home. Vinnie couldn't be prouder of the dinky space. The apartment was now something he could call his…no, that wasn't right. It wasn't just his, the apartment was theirs.
Just as Vinnie thought the word a second person walked in. He was a tall Indian man with skinny limbs and a tall torso. The man looked around with a wide smile. His eyes almost popped out of his head in excitement.
"Can you believe this Vinnie? This place is ours!"
"It sure is Sunil." Vinnie replied.
"Hey, uh, guys? It's my place too you know." A voice spoke up from behind them.
"Pepper," Sunil complained, "Can't you see that we are trying to have a moment here?"
Pepper simply groaned, flipping her ponytail into Sunil's face.
"Well I'm going to unpack my stuff, I'm working on a new apartment based comedy act. Why are they called a-part-ments if they're always together? Hehe, get it?" Pepper laughed at her own joke.
"Yes Pepper, we get it." Sunil said, looking beside him to see a confuse Vinnie; "At least, I get it."
Pepper went to explore the rest of the apartment, spouting out one liners as she went. That left Sunil and Vinnie by themselves. Sunil nervously scratched the back of his head for a moment, looking around at all the work the three had ahead of them.
"Come on Vinnie, we should be putting our stuff up too."
When Sunil bent over to pick up one of his boxes Vinnie wrapped his arms around the taller man affectionately.
"Sounds like a good idea, Mr. Terrio-Nevla." Vinnie purred into his ear.
Sunil blushed hard, still not used to being called his new conjoined surname. He bent down slightly so he was at Vinnie's height. Vinnie moved his head a little so to meet his newlywed's lips. As he did though, the two got squirted with water. They looked up to see Pepper standing in front of them with her flower water gun in hand. Both the men glared at Pepper, who now held a nervous look on her face.
"H-hey guys, did you hear the one about the girl who ran for her life?"
