A/N: I actually wrote this a while ago and thought I was going to do something more with it, but apparently I'm not, so I'm putting it here.
This takes place in a modern AU (which is also an everyone-lives-and-nothing-bad-ever-happened AU), in which Carmilla and Hector's relationship was going fine until after they moved in together. Also Hector and Isaac are friends. (And yes, Isaac is the person who is talking to Carmilla in this chapter.)

"I see Hector got a new couch. But why are you sitting on the floor?"
"I'm not allowed on the couch."
"You're not...? The dog is allowed on the couch!"
"Yes, Cezar is allowed on the couch. Perhaps if I were an animal, I'd be allowed on the furniture as well."
"Well, he isn't here right now, so you could..."
"Cezar is also a tattletale, so I absolutely could not."
