(you're the only friend i'd take a shower for)

Ally couldn't help as she plugged her nose with a clothespin. She didn't even care if she looked ridiculous at this point. She was beginning to wonder why she had moved in with the blonde boy in the first place.

After graduating high school the duo ended up going to the same college. So why bother living with complete strangers when they could live with their best friend? And that's what they did. The two rented an apartment close to school.

It was a giant transition for them. Ally had to learn to get used to Austin's tend to never be organized. Austin had to get used to Ally's cleanliness. She had a place everything had to go. But now it wasn't just her own place. So they both had to find common grounds and compromises.

Over the years they tried going out but it never seemed to be the right time. So they decided to just wait. Wait until the time felt right and then move to the next step.

Back to the current problem, Ally could handle a lot of things Austin does. But this was going over the limit to the point.

Lately her roommate had been spending spring break trying to beat some new video game he bought. He'd been so focused that he hasn't been hanging out with any of his friends. Taking very quick bathroom breaks only when needed. And he hasn't been taking showers.

It's been two days since his last shower and he was starting to drink their apartment up. Ally didn't know how much more she could handle. She didn't know how she was going to convince him to put the game down to go take a shower.

But the thing about Ally was she was nice. Sometimes she was too nice. There was no way she could just tell him that he smelled and that he needed a shower. She had to find a way to tell him without actually telling him.

So she found her own common ground in this situation. Ally made pancakes, which are Austin's favorite foods, and wrote on them with frosting. Right on top of one of the pancakes in Ally's neat handwriting it said "smell makes frowns, showers make smiles." She just hoped that he would get the hint. She already knew food was the way to a boy's heart but hopefully it would be the way to Austin's brain.

She went to their living with the plate of pancakes in her hand. There Ally saw Austin in the same spot she last saw him. He was on their couch with the game controller in his hand, violently pressing on the buttons.

"Do you think you can stop playing for a second to eat?" Ally asked but got no response, "Austin you have to eat."

Austin complied telling her to just leave them in the table in front of him. She did and walked to a spot nearby. Ally watched as Austin continued playing his video game. Come on Austin, eat the pancakes she thought.

She smiled as she saw him reached for the fork to eat the pancakes. But her smile quickly faded and she frowned. Suddenly Austin was eating the pancakes without even looking. It was one skilled way of multi-tasking. It was also very weird looking. He had a fork in one and hand and was using his other to continue to press the buttons.

She honestly didn't understand boys. How they be comfortable smelling disgusting? How could they use lame pick-up lines on girl thinking it'll work? How could they leave messes and be fine with it? She would never understand them and their weird habits.

But right now she couldn't think of anything. Austin's smell was getting so bad and annoying that it was getting to her brain. She couldn't stop thinking of anything but it. She was going to get him to take a shower, no matter what it took.

She somehow managed to fall asleep even with the smell and the constant noises the boy the same boy would make playing the same video game. How long could it possibly take him to finish that video game? By the sounds of distress and defeat he'd make, it'd be a while.

So now she made her own noise of defeat and distress as she made her way into the living room. She sat down next to him hoping to gain his attention. Nothing. She then made a loud, long sigh. Silence. It was almost as if he was under a trance and was hypnotized.

She didn't know what she was going to do. She couldn't take another second of this agony. But she couldn't be mean and tell him of his unpleasant smell. She just was that kind of person nor was she raised like that. But then all of a sudden she didn't act upon manners but upon her nose that couldn't take anymore.

Ally grabbed Austin's face between her two hands. She saw his eyes widen in surprise.

"Wha-"

He didn't get to finish his sentence as she pulled his face towards hers. This wasn't something normal Ally would do. But this is what Austin unintentionally pushed her to do.

She felt the controller fall out of Austin's hands and go around her waist. Her arms subconsciously go around his neck as if her mind knew what it wanted.

She was only meant to give him a quick peck. But now she couldn't find herself to pull away. Both being singers they could hold their breaths longer than most. This allowed them to kiss longer than most too.

Eventually she pulled away because she had to take a second to catch her breath. But their faces were still at a close proximity.

"What was that for?"

"It was my nice way of telling you that you need a shower."

"Don't actually mind getting told I smelled everyday if it meant I get told like that." he smirked.

"You know all you had to do was tell me." Austin continued, "I'd do anything to make you happy."

At this Ally smiled and that made him smile too. He began to lean in again but was stopped before he could. This time she demanded he took a shower and he did. He knew he was wrapped around her small, beautiful, delicate fingers but he didn't really mind.

After he got out of the shower Ally took a sniff and was satisfied. She was glad she didn't need to use clothespin anymore. Austin sat back down next to her with a smile. They went back to using their singer lungs to good use.

Let's just say he wasn't planning on finishing to video game.
