Blaze stood in the shower, letting the hot water hit her body. The light was dim, almost dark, but just enough to see around the bathroom. Even though she was in here to get cleansed, she felt like she was getting dirtier by standing in the messy bathroom.
The shower was grimy and a lot of empty body wash and shampoo bottles were pushed to one high corner of the tub. The tile floor had stains of footprints and the counter was filled with countless items that needed to be organized. Blaze was certainly terrified by the lack of order of order of the bathroom.
This place could really use a clean. Maybe I can clean it up tomorrow morning, so I can pay back Amy for letting me stay here.
Blaze touched the shower knob with her foot and turned the shower off. I'm too nervous to go back into the living room. I don't know what to say after all this. Should I just walk outside and sit down and say nothing. Or should I ask where I'm going to sleep, Blaze thought as she was getting dressed.
Blaze didn't sit around to think, and walked outside. Don't over evaluate it! Just act normal! Blaze decided to sit on the brown, messy couch in the living room, where Amy was sitting. There were snack wrappers and cups on the coffee table, and the pillows that belonged to the couch scattered all over the living room. Amy was watching some sort of obnoxious adult comedy cartoon.
"Hey, Amy, thank you for letting me stay here. I really appreciate it! I won't be a burden for too long. I'll probably find a job really soon, I promise!" Blaze looked intensely at Amy, confident that she will get on her own two feet soon.
"Don't think of yourself as a burden! You just need to stay somewhere until you get a job. Don't worry, it's understandable." Amy laughed.
"I'll probably be out in two months, if I try really hard, maybe one. You won't have to worry about me by then!" Blaze slouched, thinking about her game plan.
"Hey, hey, don't worry about it! You can think about all that later! Are you ready to go to bed?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, today's been really exhausting." Blaze sighed.
"Ok, follow me." Amy stood up and walked into the dark hallway, soon followed by Blaze. Amy stopped at a light switch and turned it on as they walked through the hallway. They finally stopped as Amy opened a door, and switched on the light for a room.
"This is my friend Shadow's room. He disappears and comes back at any given time, but I doubt he'll be back anytime soon, he just left early this week." Amy stared into the room sighed, "That asshole…" Amy smiled.
"Is that your boyfriend?" Blaze asked curiously.
"Hell no! I'm actually… I'm actually…" Amy then stopped herself, and sighed. "You know what, I don't know where I was going with that. But no, we're not dating. That would be really fucking weird." Amy laughed.
"What if he does come back?" Blaze tapped her chin, and leaned on the doorway.
"We'll get you situated here by then, we'll get you your own room, bed and everything, and when you're ready to leave, you can take all that stuff with you." Amy said.
"Wow, thanks!" Blaze smiled sweetly. She then yawned, and stretched her arms. "Looks like I'm starting to get sleepy… Good night, Amy." Blaze said, walking into the room.
"Good night, Blaze…" Amy smiled from the distance. She looks so pretty now that I actually look at her, and she looks so cute in her pajamas. Maybe I can get a chance to fuck her before she leaves… Amy licked her lips.
Amy walked back through the hallway and sat back on the messy living room couch. Her mind was beginning to drift away from the obnoxious cartoon that was playing on the small TV. She was contemplating on how life would be with her new housemate. I hope she won't be a bad housemate like Shadow….
Amy's eyes were beginning to get heavy, and she soon got up to turn off the lights and TV, so she could go to sleep in her room.
Amy changed into her pajamas and got cozy in her bed. Her mind was full of worries and frustrations about the obligations she had this week, until her brain couldn't take it anymore and drifted off to sleep.
8:00 AM
Amy woke up to the clashing sounds of dishes and running water. What the fuck is she doing? Amy sat up in the bed to give herself a moment to fully awake. She got up and walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, and realized she couldn't walk out looking like a mess.
She brushed her bob cut hair, and put it in a tiny pony tail, and then brushed her teeth. When she walked outside her room, she saw how clean the hallway was. What the hell…
When she entered the living room, it was also completely clean. The pillows that were usually thrown over the floor were neatly placed on the gray couch. The coffee table was spotless, with the TV remote Amy had been looking for since ages placed neatly on the table. Amy had to cover her face, as she wasn't used to light shining through the now clean windows so early in the morning.
"W-what are you doing?" Amy asked, walking to the work in progress kitchen.
"Cleaning the house. It's the least I can do for you letting me stay here." Blaze said, scrubbing a pot.
"Oh, thanks…" Amy rubbed her eyes, and opened the fridge. "When you're done, do you want some eggs and French toast?" Amy asked.
"Sure! I haven't had such a nice meal for a while." Blaze laughed.
Amy joined in the laughter as she walked back into the living room and turned on the TV. She plunged into the couch and sighed.
"You know, I haven't seen the house this clean since I first moved in." Amy sighed.
"Really? I'm kind of a neat freak to be honest. I couldn't help cleaning up the place." Blaze smiled.
"I'm not much of a cleaner and neither is Shadow. He doesn't do much around the house but pay a part of the bill. Otherwise, he's always gone without a word. He's one weird guy, I'll tell you that." Amy scratched her head.
"Are you sure… You two aren't dating? I mean, you seem like a couple to me." Blaze nervously laughed.
"Oh my god! No! We're just best friends. Plus," Amy paused and wondered if she should tell Blaze or not. "Plus, we're both gay…" Amy began to nervously rub her thighs.
"Really?" Blaze gasped. "I actually am, too. That's why I had to come over here. I'm running away from my parents." Blaze nervously laughed.
Amy's eyes widened as she heard this. So that's why she's here… "Why are you running away from your parents? Are they bigots?" Amy asked.
"They're very bigoted. I knew I didn't want to be in the closet anymore, but I had no one to come out to, or someone who could support me. So I just ran away!" Blaze paused from washing the dishes and looked empty eyed at the plate she was holding, and then continued to scrub the plate.
"I never really knew my parents. I mean, I had a mom, she was always there, but at the same time, she just wasn't. She was always gone, drinking and smoking. I never actually knew her." Amy looked at the ceiling and then laughed. "That probably didn't even make sense! I'm sorry!"
"It actually did make sense!" Blaze smiled.
"Not a lot of people usually get it when I talk about it…" Amy smiled at Blaze.
"Don't worry, because I get it, trust me." Blaze smiled sweetly at Amy.
Amy couldn't explain it, but she felt this odd sensation when Blaze said that. She felt a fuzzy shock all over her body. She wanted to feel it over and over again.
"You really get it?" Amy asked, looking at Blaze over the couch intensely.
"Of course." Blaze looked at Amy.
Their conversation was interrupted once someone's cell phone set off a notification tone.
"It's probably Sonic!" Amy whispered, jumping off the couch and running straight down the hallway.
"I have to go run an errand. I'll be right back." Amy walked back out the hallway, and then opened the door to leave. "Oh, and thanks for cleaning the house!" She said, shutting the door behind her.
Blaze walked out the kitchen and sighed as she plopped herself back on the couch. I could be using this spare time to look for a job! I need to get back up on my own feet quick!
