A/N: In which Tori's early morning shower wakes Jade up again
Jade awoke to the sound of running water yet again, and groaned as she turned over in the bed to see what time her girlfriend had decided to shower today. 5:13 am, her digital clock announced; way too early to be awake, and way too early for a certain someone to be showering, and she knew it. At least she knew who that someone was so she could again try to get it through their head that showers before 8 am were not allowed in their shared apartment.
She pushed the blanket back and threw her legs out of bed, rubbing her eyes a bit with her hands before standing to grab her black robe and wrap it around herself before attempting her mission. Once wrapped up in her robe, she walked across the room and knocked on the bathroom door, only once before entering. The room was already much like a sauna, and the occupant of the shower was humming behind the curtain. Jade unnecessarily shut the door with a little force behind her to give a small indication that she was in there now, though it didn't seem to phase the person in the shower slightly, since the humming continued uninterruptedly.
"Tori? This early shower habit of yours really needs to stop," Jade called, leaning against the bathroom door and rubbing her eyes again at the brightly lit bathroom.
The humming stopped, and a muted reply came. "Can't hear you, Jade, I'm under the water."
Jade made a face. "Then why did you reply? Anyway, I'm serious. I have work in a few hours and need to sleep so I can be at my best."
There was no reply to this besides the humming starting up again, and Jade sighed.
"And now you suddenly can't hear me? Great. Fine. Enjoy your shower, I'm too tired to argue with you right now."
"Just use your headphones or something to block the noise out. I'll be done in a few."
"Headphones," Jade muttered to herself, before opening the door and sliding back out of the bathroom. She got back into bed, sighing as she lay on her back and folded her hands together over her chest.
She had just begun dozing off again when Tori came into the room with one towel wrapped around herself, and the other wrapped around her hair. Jade opened her eyes and hmphed, resuming pretending to be angry with her again. Tori sat on the edge of Jade's side of the bed, but purposely ignored Jade, instead starting to use the towel to dry her hair. Jade would not stand to be ignored, even if she was really sleepy. There was some unfinished business to attend to first.
"I will seriously end you if you keep up with the shower business this early," she said, breaking the silence in the bedroom.
"Sure you will," Tori shot back immediately, finishing up with her hair and putting that towel around her neck. "Just like you said you'd end me if I kept wearing mismatched socks around you."
"Because that's just as annoying as you taking showers this early in the morning. Just keep your socks together! And just because I haven't done it yet doesn't mean I won't."
"Alright, Jade, whatever you say," Tori said, smirking to herself. She stood and walked over to the dresser to look for clothes.
"I will do it, I swear," Jade said, before yawning. "Just not right now."
"Mmhmm."
"I will!" Jade said with a little more force, turning her head to find Tori now dressing in the light from the bathroom. "The next time I wake up to the sound of you showering, I promise I will end you. How can you even get up this early and function enough to shower and go to the gym? I don't understand it at all."
Tori just dressed in silence, letting Jade stew over her words, not taking her girlfriend's threat very seriously at all. Once she was finished pulling a workout shirt and shorts on, Tori came and sat on the bed again. She faced Jade, still smiling.
"There, I'm all finished. Now you can get your beauty rest. You don't want to show up sleepy for work, do you?"
Jade shot a glare at Tori, before moving her head to stare up at the ceiling again. Tori chuckled.
"You're so cute when you're pretending to be angry at me. Anyways, I have to go now. I love you."
Jade stuck her tongue out. "Ew, gross. But this time I really am angry with you, and to prove it—"
Jade was cut off by Tori leaning in to kiss her on the cheek before she could finish her threat, which surprised her into forgetting what she was going to say.
"Bye, Jade, see you later," Tori said with a grin, once she'd pulled away.
After Tori had finally left, Jade quickly fell back asleep again, now with a small smile on her face. This time she wasn't even mad when she was woken up a little later by the sound of the running water again.
