Rifiuto: Non Miriena
- House Mates
Fargo stretched; Holly shifted closer to him in her sleep, and he pulled away from her gently, propping himself up on his elbow to watch her. Sound asleep and snoring softly, her button nose twitching every so often, Fargo found that he couldn't understand why Fate hadn't put her in his path sooner. Why had it been the alternate timeline? Why had it been after he'd taken other Fargo's place as director of GD? Not that he was complaining, but still-
Gently, he reached out, brushing a stray red curl off her cheek, holding his breath, hoping she didn't stir. All she did was snuggle further into her pillow. He leaned over, pressing a kiss to her cheek, before climbing out of bed. After getting dressed, he silently slipped out of the bedroom and headed downstairs. Sitting at the kitchen table, were their housemates, another young couple, from Boston.
When they'd heard that they would be sharing an apartment with a couple from Boston, Fargo had hoped that it would be Jo and Zane. He'd been initally disappointed to learn that it wasn't, but hadn't given up hope that his friends would contact him soon. There was only so long Jo could go before sending out wedding invitations, and before Zane called to complain that Jo was driving him crazy. They couldn't hold out for long, Fargo was betting on it.
"Morning, Doctor Fargo." He gave the woman a small smile, accepting the coffee she handed him.
"Morning Erica. How's work going?" She shrugged.
"Eh... you got to the set, put your makeup on, get into costume and act out a few scenes. Nothing new. Oh, except Ni is offically a member of the cast as of today, so, that's pretty excting." She said, slinging her arm around her husband's neck and grinning at him. Fargo chuckled. Never, in a million years did he ever think he would share a house with a couple of actors, and yet, he found that Erica and Niall were perhaps the most down-to-earth performers he'd ever met (and he'd met very few) and he and Holly both enjoyed their company. In fact, the pair reminded them a lot of Jo and Zane- not only with their dark looks and easy-going smiles, but with their laidback personalities. The only thing that really creeped Fargo out was the show Erica was in- about a small town in Oregon, built specifically so the greatest scientists of the world could live and work. Or, as the show's tagline stated, Small Town. Big Secret.
If he remembered correctly, Erica played the sheriff's deputy, who- unlike the sheriff- actually wasn't a nongenius like most thought, and her husband played the troublemaking antisocial supergenius who's appearance in season two had given her character a love interest. The fact that both characters were a lot like his real-life friends, sent chills up his spine. The show was currently starting its third season, and Fargo had discovered that the sci-fi drama had become Holly's guilty pleasure. He was even getting into it, not that he'd tell anyone. The thing that truly creeped him out beyond all reason was the show's title- Eureka. The next time he talked to Jo, he'd have to ask if the government had released anything about their former town to the public without telling them.
"So, how are things with you? You and Holly going to tie the knot anytime soon? I mean you've obviously exchanged keys already." Niall asked; Erica slapped him light, glaring at him, but he chuckled, taking a seat across from Fargo. They even acted like Jo and Zane. Maybe siblings neither knew they had?
"I think it's sweet that you're helping Holly try to regain her memory. Has she made any progress?" Erica said, joining them. She set her cup down, tossing her ponytail over her shoulder. Fargo shook his head.
"Some. Not much. Little things, but... nothing major. The doctors aren't sure if she'll ever get her memory back." The other couple nodded, and Erica reached out, taking his hand.
"If you ever need help with anything, we're here for you." Fargo gave her a soft smile as she squeezed his fingers; he had to admit, that over the last few weeks, he and Holly had become good friends with the other couple. The trio looked up to see Holly enter, still in her pajamas.
"Oh, hello." She looked around quickly, her eyes landing on Fargo's hand in Erica's. "Am I... interrupting something?" She asked, turning to go, but Erica got up, putting her cup in the sink.
"No, it's okay Holly. You're not interrupting anything. We actually have to get to work." The other woman said, grabbing her bag and slinging it over her shoulder before tightening her ponytail.
"Oh, you... work on a Saturday?" Holly asked. Erica glanced at Niall as he stood and placed his cup in the sink. She bit her lip, before,
"Not usually, but today, unfortunately yes. We are behind schedule, even though we have the last three episodes already filmed and edited, Andrew still wants to film a few scenes to add to the last episode." She sighed, grabbing her keys.
"Oh! Are Zane and Jo finally going to get together?" Holly asked, suddenly perky and excited to discuss her latest obsession. "They have to after that kiss in the burning ruins of her house, especially since Zane was the one that burned it down. He kind of owes Jo a lot, after pulling that stunt." The couple shared a glance, before turning to Fargo. His mouth hung open, just as clueless as they were in how to respond. "And we all know that Carter and Allison are going to get together; that's been obvious since the Pilot. But Jo and Zane's relationship is the real trump card- will they, won't they, will they move in together, or will they just continue to sleep together- and especially after how Zane walked out after Jo didn't answer his proposal in the sheriff's office, I think he should really work to win her back-"
"Holly," The redhead stopped as Erica gently raised her voice, holding up a hand. "We'll debate when we get home. And then... dinner at Fog Harbor?" She asked Fargo, referring to the restaurant that had become the two couples' monthly eatery. He nodded, and she gave him a thumbs up before the two disappeared through the front door. Once they were gone, Holly went to him, perching on his lap.
"I like them. They're really nice and really fun. You know they kind of remind me of-"
"Yeah, I know." Fargo whispered, kissing her gently. Yeah, a call to Jo was definately in order.
