Happy Monday guys and gals!

I think the title is self-explanatory.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!

Moving in: Day One

"Sora move!" The blonde guy called out while manipulating his side of the hefty couch, attempting to maneuver the bulky item through the door.

"Hurry up man, I'm about to drop the damn couch!" A brunette complained from the other side of the heavy piece of furniture.

"Almost… Got it!" The slender, red head girl called out to her new roommates as she slid the last box out of the way. "Set it down… careful you two!"

"My hands are slipping Matt!" The brunette hastily called out to the blonde.

"Hang on Tai, I've got you." The red head hurriedly moved the brunette's side and helped him set it down, mindful of fingers.

"Thanks Sora." He helped her put the cushions back on.

Plopping down on the, now assembled couch, Matt let out a moan. "What's left to bring up?"

"Two more boxes I think." Tai took a seat on the other end of the couch. "Give me five before we finish up."

"I'll get them." The girl moved out the door. "You two take a break. Both of you moved more stuff than I did."

"Leave it for us if it's too heavy!"

"You know she's not going to listen to you right?" Groaning, Matt shoved himself on his feet. "Next time, we're hiring someone to move all this shit instead of just driving the truck."

"Think you're right about that." Tai groaned out as the blonde pulled him off the couch. "Note to self: Lifting is not the same as cardio." Together the two guys made their way down from the fifth floor to the moving van parked outside. "I guess there was more than just a couple of boxes."

"Don't hurt yourself!" The blonde picked up the biggest box before Sora could. "Save the heavy stuff for us."

"I can manage…" She reached for the last box after handing Tai his sports bag. "You almost left that behind."

"Thanks!" The brunette slung the bag over his shoulder and took the last box from his best childhood friend. "I got it Sora."

Shaking her head, she reached for the box again, attempting to pry it from his fingers. "No Tai let me carry that one."

"I got it…"

"Tai…"

"It's kind of heavy."

"But…"

"I got it."

"No Tai!" The red head girl crossed her arms and huffed at the brunette. "It's my mother's old set of dishes."

"The green ones?" His face paled a little.

"Yes the green ones, the same ones you broke while growing up, and those were forty bucks a pop to replace."

"Maybe you should carry it then?" Tai's hands shook as he handed Sora the box, the memory of his mom yelling at him after she had to replace two plates.

Taking the box from the brunette, Sora sighed in relief. "Thanks Tai."

"If you really want to carry something man, you can take this one." Matt huffed out, giving the box in his arms a lift for a better grip.

"Looks like you got it under control." He snickered a little at the blonde. "I'll push the elevator buttons for you two." Following the two in the lift, he opened his phone when it rang in his pocket. "It's Kari… Hey sis what's up? No we just finished… Well yeah, you can come check out the new place." Exiting the elevator, Tai held the apartment door open for his roommates while answering his younger sister's questions. "I don't know what we're doing for dinner… Tell you what. I'll order pizza if you'll pick it up on your way over? Thanks sis! See you soon!" He shut his phone. "Kari's on her way!" Two sets of eyes glared at him. "What?"

"Where is she going to sit? We don't have a table or chairs yet."

"Err… Good point." He scratched at his head as Sora glared at him, the couch would only hold three people. "We can use the coffee table? I'll sit on the floor?"

Sighing, Matt pushed off the couch yet again. "Where did those flat-ish boxes go?" He started digging around the many boxes piled in the living room.

"Flat boxes?" Joining him in the quest, Sora asked him.

"Yeah, dad sent three bar stools over that never fit in our place. I don't think he ever opened them." The blonde shoved an outsized box aside. "Found them! Get the tool box Tai and help me out."

Sora moved towards the kitchen. "While you two do that, I'll start unpacking the kitchen."

An hour and several pinched fingers later, the red head stood in socked feet on the countertop placing seldom used appliances on top of the kitchen cabinets while the two guys finished tightening the final few screws.

"That should do." The blonde righted the swivel bar stool and placed it in its proper spot before glancing up at girl's antics. "Sora!" He moved behind her, placing his hands on the back of her legs for support in case she fell. "Are you trying to kill yourself?" His grip tightened when she violently flinched.

"Shit Matt!" You scared me!" Looking down, she scowled a little at him.

"Scared you? You're the one standing on the counter in socks! You scared the hell out of me!"

"Scared you? We've fallen off cliffs before! This is nothing."

"We were also little kilobytes of data, not flesh and blood!"

She lifted a foot." Here, take them off it makes you feel any better." She teased him a little as she felt his fingers remove the apparel from one foot and then the other. "Thanks. Think I can grip a little better this way."

"I'd rather you get down all together…How did you get up there?

"I jumped. Almost done." She moved a box a little to the right. "Hey Tai? Hand me the blender?"

"Should have waited until we were done." He handed her the appliance base.

Placing the item on the shelf, Sora shrugged. "These things were in the way, it was bothering me."

"I think you have OCD." Tai handed the girl the second half to the blender.

"Ha ha, very funny." She shot back as the doorbell rang.

"Now will you get down?" Matt asked her as Tai went to answer the door. Quiet voices exchanging greetings floating towards the kitchen.

"Hey Sora! Matt!" A younger version of the blonde greeted the two in the kitchen. "Trying out for the next circus act bro?" TK teased his older brother, setting several pizza boxes on the bar.

"Sora here is." Matt replied to his younger brother as he helped the red head down, gripping her waist as she steadied herself with hands on his shoulders.

Kari frowned. "If you needed to borrow the step ladder, I would have brought it." Looking at her brother, she chided him a little.

"I didn't think we needed it yet."

"My fault." Sora gave each younger friend a small hug. "All the clutter was getting to me, had to do something about it."

"Tell mom I'll swing by tomorrow or the day after to borrow it?" Tai asked the younger brunette girl while opening pizza boxes.

"No problem. What are you looking for?"

"The meat lovers."

"Try reading the labels? Pepperoni, cheese, Hawaiian, and meat lovers." Kari pointed to the labels stuck to each box.

Tai stuck his tongue out at his younger sibling, handing her a piece.

"Anyways." TK reached for a piece of pepperoni. "Let's eat and then maybe help you three unpack?"

"You don't have to." Sora reached for a slice of Hawaiian.

"I don't know about you two." The older blonde reached for a triangle of cheesy pizza. "But, I'd rather sleep on a bed instead of a mattress on the floor." His two roommates nodded at his suggestion.

"No argument there."

OCD/OCRD... You know what I'm talking about. *Nods at NoctIsFishing*
