SugarFox and I were sitting in history, brainstorming what could happen during an awkward situation in one of her stories. Right on cue, our friend pitches up and yells out his new favourite quote. And *BAM* the idea for this story hits me like a purple fox to the head and I start scribbling furiously.
Here's the finished product. Enjoy!
Title: Rooting through your Garbage
Author: MeteorLeopard (HoneyBadger)
Pairing: RenTatsu
"Aaah!"
An earsplitting crash sounded right outside Tatsuki's window, heralding the coming of trouble. Curious, she quickly snapped open her window and leant out, trying to find the disturbance. Her window faced the street and on the pavement just below was a large, neat stack of old furniture that wasn't going to be used by her family anymore and therefore left out on the curb to be picked up. At least it had been a tidy pile, but now it resembled the Mount Everest of Garbage –couches lying on their sides and a pair of flailing legs sticking vertically into the air while the owner's head was now buried deep beneath the items of furniture.
Tatsuki raised one eyebrow before glancing over her shoulder and then climbing onto the windowsill to jump down onto the pavement beside the pair of wriggling lower limbs. She crossed her arms as the two feet finally found a hold and were soon joined by a pair of arms to help the figure free their head from the pile of junk with a huge gasping lungful of air.
"Renji… what are you doing?"
The flustered red-head turned to look at her, blinking twice and registering her presence for a moment, obviously forgetting that this was, in fact, her house that he was making the racket in front of. He scowled and then struck a pose.
"I'm rooting through your garbage!"
Silence.
Tense silence.
Tatsuki wasn't buying it.
And Renji knew it.
He sighed.
"Urahara kicked me out. I needed something to sleep on."
Tatsuki raised her eyebrow.
Renji stared back. And caved. "Okay, fine! So I was hoping I could sleep here!"
Tatsuki smirked. "You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble by just using the front door."
"You have a front door?"
For anyone wondering where the heck the line is from, go check out 'Catface' on YouTube.
I'll be writing a different couple next. This story is just a compilation of one-shots and also a bit of a test to see how creative I can be with using only one line for inspiration.
Thanks to my awesome beta KazeNoSakura for her help and super-fast work!
