Friday Night Tropes
Levy and Lucy are having a quiet night in.
Lucy hummed quietly. She loved moments like this. She and Levy had both had busy weeks and now that it was Friday night they could unwind and relax together on the couch. Levy had her head in Lucy's lap while she read the latest installment of her manga. Lucy was looking at fanfics of her favorite pairing on her tablet, while she absently ran her fingers through Levy's fine, blue locks.
An urgent beep rang from Lucy's tablet.
"Okay, you know what that means," Lucy said as she shut the annoying sound down.
"But Lucy," Levy whined, "I'm almost to the end of this chapter!"
Lucy looked down into puppy dog eyes accompanied by the pout that Levy knew she had difficulty resisting.
"Show me," Lucy demanded.
Levy showed her the place where she was and how many pages were left in the chapter. Lucy debated it. There really weren't that many pages and Levy was a fast reader.
"Okay, ten more minutes," Lucy said as she pulled up the timer on her screen.
"Only ten?"
"Would you rather have five?"
"Ten's good!"
The next time the beep rang out, Lucy automatically hit the snooze.
"They have to huddle together for warmth," she said to Levy's unasked question.
Levy nodded and continued her own reading.
Three more taps of the snooze button and Levy was forced to call a halt.
"Lucy this is ridiculous! We'll never be done with our reading at the same time."
Lucy squinted at Levy. "You finished your book didn't you?"
Levy nodded. "One snooze ago."
"You could have gone to bed without me," Lucy said with a laugh as she shut down the tablet and plugged it in to its charger.
Levy stretched as she stood up. "I could do that," she agreed, "but then I'd miss the look on your face when you realize there's only one bed and we might have to share for the night."
Lucy laughed. "Alright let's go slake your trope thirst."
Levy pulled her groggy girlfriend toward the bedroom while giggling, "And they were roommates."
