I couldn't sleep… I haven't slept since we got our roommates! Today was the fourth night strait and it was getting ridiculous! Evan, Allen and Draco were all drooling in their sleep non-stop and spike and Prince were asleep in their room having sleep fights with each other. And when I say they're having an epic battle with each other in their sleep, I mean it! "Viper Elizabeth Harmony Morphus you are slowly but surely becoming an insomniac…" And now I'm talking to myself! GREEAAAT! Just friggin perfect!
I got up and walked to the living room, falling out of bed and bumping into a few things along the way. I walk into the couch "FUCK! AUUUGGH! Son of a-!" I sigh and flip myself over the back of the couch for the sake of being lazy and already in enough pain to not care about any more. I'm surprised I can't sleep with how exhausted I am doing all the laundry, dishes, cleaning and cooking in the house! I sigh again and groan in complaint at my own new sleeping issues… I'm friggin tired…
Someone knocks at the door and I lazily go up and answer it after bumping into a few things. A muscular alien man with dreads, mandables, talons, blood red eyes, dark grey reptilian skin with black speckling and sharp teeth wearing gold metallic armour with netting covering exposed skin stood in the doorway. He held one of my fliers in his hands and states "I'm Apollo… I came here for a room." I nod and reply "Follow me… I'm Viper-OWWW! Holymarymotherofchrist! That-friggin-HURT!"
The alien was part of a race called… yaut'ja I think… He snickered at my pain and pointed out "You bumped into quite a few things in plain sight…" I glared at him… Well… I think it was him… It's kinda dark and a little blurry… "I feel kinda tired…" I say as I point at his room. "It's right across from mine… I'll be on the couch if -yawn- you need me…" I went about five steps before everything went dark.
-Apollo's POV-
Great… She collapsed! That woman is a menace! I sigh and drag her into her room. At least now she won't interrupt other peoples' business in the morning! I remove all my armour except my loincloth.
That was a lot of weight off my shoulders… I fall back onto my bed and close my eyes. Time to relax…
-Viper's POV-
I woke up on the floor of my room. DAMB! My neck HURTS! That's what I get for sleeping on the floor… But I was in the hall wasn't I? Apollo must've put me in here… He could've at least put me on my bed! Otherwise why waste your effort moving me? "AUGH! MEN!"I growled and walked into the hell formerly known as my quiet and empty home…
Allen, Evan and Draco were playing Halo on the TV in their room, Apollo was emoing in the corner and looking like he was about to go Jason Voorhees on someone's ass, Spike was watching the football game on the flat screen in the living room and Prince was sitting on the couch doing fuck all except staring at the yaut'ja who seemed to have magically appeared… Time for breakfast… goody…
After a few band-aids worth of cuts, burns and a few bruises I finally have enough bacon, sausage and green onion omelettes for seven people. Hopefully Apollo enjoys my cooking as much as the other aliens… Minus Evan of course! The lot of them wolf down the pile like a school of famished piranha!
Where as I took normal bites like the woman I am… "Nice!" was what the gamers said before returning to their dark cave of seclusion. "Amazing as always Viper!" was the predalien brothers. Apollo however was the person I wanted to impress. He currently sat picking his teeth with his talons.
Eventually the awkward silence got to me… "Sooo… What did you-"
"Think of your cooking?" Oh god he's looking at me! He looks absolutely SMEXY… Did I just say that?
"Y-yeah…" Oh my god this is like a scene from those cheesy romance movies I can't stand! What happens in this scene again? I CAN'T REMEMBER! God dammit I hate this suspense!
"It was… Hmmm… How do I say this?" Oh god! He's muscular, has nice hair and eyes AND he must love my cooking! It's too good to be true! "Oh yeah! Well ooman… Your cooking kinda -" YEEEEEEEES! "It kinda sucks…" What?… "It tasted like you poisoned it or something. No offence woman." I ground my teeth together "None - taken…" I looked at myself, still wearing yesterday's navy top and jeans… Time for a new outfit and hairstyle!
I decided on the black tank top and baggy camouflage pants. My hair was in a high ponytail and my mind was set to work. I started on today's chores of the housekeeping and kept myself occupied with that. The entire time I had Apollo watching me like a hawk, laughing whenever I accidentally hurt myself. Once I was done I stared at my hard work which would most likely need to be repeated in a few days… God men are such pigs for people so lazy!…
"H-hey V-v-v-viper do you w-wanna join? W-we need a f-f-fourth player…" It was Allen… He was blushing and shy because we're wearing the same outfit? That's actually kinda cute in an adorable, dopey, xenomorph, drooling teenage boy sort of way! I nod and follow the orange boy into Evan, Draco and his dark videogame cave. Draco didn't seem to mind me but my brother automatically protested my joining. "You can't let HER join! She'll lose all the time and say we're cheating!" I glared at my brother quickly and smart mouthed my way into the game. "Well if you won't let me play because you're a sexist asshole then I'll just stop cooking for you and see how long you'll survive wise ass!"
He reluctantly agreed to let me play under the condition I don't complain when I lose…
Apparently my brother doesn't know that I friggin LOVE to play halo! I whooped all their asses so hard they looked like they were gonna have heart attacks!
