THE ROOMMATES MEME

Perhaps you were best friends who decided to make rent cheaper by living together, a couple who took the plunge and moved in together, or you could just be some random people thrown together by circumstance and really needing a place to live.

Either way, you're sharing a flat (or maybe even a room) now! What's going to happen?

You know this drill:
- Post your character name, series and any preferences.
- Go to RNG (1-11) and tag around.
- Have fun!

PROMPTS:
( the dishes in the sink )
The classic. Your flatmate just can't do the damn dishes. Are you annoyed? Do you confront them? Hell, perhaps you're just as lazy.

( the house party )
A staple of college/university life (and beyond). Break out the drink, tell people to bring their own beer because it's time to get messy! ... Oh, wait, you didn't know people were infiltrating your flat tonight? My bad.

( the move in )
Someone's moving into your place! Quick, help them! Or stand and laugh while they struggle upstairs.

( the noisy one )
Is there anything worse than paper thin walls and a noisy flatmate? You can hear everything they're doing... even (or especially) the TMI.

( the friendly one )
Oh, lucky you, you've scored someone who wants to try and make things as good as possible for you both! Don't waste this now. It might just be the greatest thing you could have.

( the tmi one )
OH GOD why did you walk in during that? Nope, backing out now... unless you're into that. Why do they keep telling you things, as well? Gosh.

( the disaster )
There's not even words. These are the ones the internet warned you about. A little TMI or noise? That is nothing compared to the crazy you're stuck with right now.

( the tv night )
Movies, TV marathons, whatever you like. You and your flatmate are going to hunker down with some popcorn and have fun.

( the fight )
Aww, darn. Is it not working out? Finally having to confront a crazy, or tell your other half that this is going to hell in a handbasket? Good luck, man.

( the shopping )
Whether you're going for groceries or furniture (or fun!), you and your flatmate are hitting the shops and spending some cash.

( the other )
Thought of something not on here? Go for it! Mix and match your options or anything else!

Sakura Haruno | Naruto

[slugly]

[She is impeccably clean and goes to bed at, like, 9:30 pm because she has zero social life so Sakura is the perfect roommate. There might be post-its everywhere, though, because she is a studier and has a post-it problem.]

[cosmosic]

[Sakura must be the Disaster One. She really could handle TMI or noise. Sakura is just WEIRD, sometimes.

But Ino is nothing like a perfect roommate. Person? Yes. But living with Ino when she's been a bit spoiled by her father and never really had to share anything if she didn't want to leaves her frowning at post-its. Everywhere.

Why this Sakura.

So Ino will walk into Sakura's room and throw all the little post-its she's been putting everywhere on her bed.]

You have a problem, Sakura. This is an intervention.

[slugly]

[They had RULES about entering each other's rooms and the rule was: KNOCK FIRST. Like most everything else in her life, Ino ignored rules. They were more like guidelines, really, in her mind, and that is not okay with Sakura who thrives on order in this chaotic world.

She scrambles to shove her book (a yaoi manga called "My Darling Neko Butler-sama") under her mattress and pretend like she had been instead reading a science textbook.]

Don't you know it's polite to knock before entering someone's room??

[Sakura gasps at her misplaced post-its but then tries to play it cool. Like it's not killing her that they are all messed up and jumbled.]

I don't know what you're talking about. I can stop anytime I want.

[cosmosic]

[Rules just didn't apply when it's Sakura. For anyone else, sure. Besides, this is important. Ino is sick and tired of seeing the colorful little pieces of paper stuck around the apartment like she's some obsessive compulsive nerd.

Like she's Sakura.]

Right.

I know how to knock, but don't you know what an intervention is? You're not supposed to know I'm coming to tell you when to stop.

[Then Ino gives her a long hard stare.]

I'm here to help you fix your life. To make it normal! No guy will ever want to date you when you have a post-its around the house reminding you to pick up more "lady pads" at the store.

[She points at the offending post-it, somewhere in the pile.]

[slugly]

Plenty of guys want to date me!

[Weird guys, like Lee, but whatever. He counted! It totally counts.]

There's nothing wrong with some organization. YOU could use a little more order in your life. Your closet is a mess.

[Sakura huffs and pretends to be very interested in ~*~science~*~ book. ]

If that's all you needed to say, I'm very busy. Besides, you're the one always stealing my pads in the first place! Maybe if you bought your own I wouldn't have to leave post-its reminding myself to get more!

[She still has another yaoi manga-- "Ore no Chou Sekushii Sensei"-- to get through before the night was over, so this talk is clearly taking up precious time. Let's face it, it wasn't like Sakura has a date or anything. SIGH.]

[cosmosic]

[Okay, she should have said NORMAL guys. As nice as Lee was, his personality was too much. It's no wonder he liked a weirdo like Sakura. Wasn't there another guy? He was average with brown hair and wrote her a letter.

Maybe if he wrote it on a post-it he would have better luck.

AND she only uses Sakura's pads when she runs out of tampons and forget to buy more. She wasn't about to write herself post-its to remember.]

At least I have a closet! This is a poor excuse for a girl's closet.

[And she walks over to said closet to open the door and show the world Sakura's meager selection of reserved and conservative shirt and pants and knee-length skirts. Nothing flattering. There is one dress hidden among it all Ino remembers picking out for Sakura when she forced her friend to come with her for some fun rather than studying.

Or reading her naughty boy love novels. One is peeking out of her mattress right now. Ino will just walk over and tug it out, waving it in the air.]

Stop leaving post-its around the house or I'll hide all your porn.

[slugly]

[Sakura smacks her smutty book out of Ino's hand, blushing a bright, bright red.]

It-- it's not mine! I'm just-- holding it for a friend!

[She just wants to curl up and die. Ino knows all of her weak points and embarrassing Sakura is her favorite pastime. Yes, Sakura's fashion sense is a bit... old lady-ish but it's comfortable! And kind of cute!]

Get out of my room!!

[cosmosic]

[The book thumps to the ground, thick and heavy with all the dirty, dirty porn and frotting Sakura seems so interested in. SHE'S NOT MOVING. In fact, Ino will sit on Sakura's bed and fall backwards onto the soft sheets after picking it back up and flipping through it distractedly.]

Really?

Are you reading it for a friend, too?

[She saw that bookmark.]

[slugly]

If you must know, Nosy, it's--

[Think fast, Sakura, think fast!]

-- research for a paper I'm writing. I'm writing about gender roles and representation in boys' love comics. It's purely academic.

[Sakura folds her arms over her chest and looks elsewhere. She is a terrible liar and they both know it.]

[cosmosic]

[It's a decent excuse, but Ino shoots Sakura a disbelieving stare.]

So you picked --

[She turns the book over to the cover and her tone turns deadpan.]

"My Darling Neko Butler-sama" for studying purposes?

[Sakura IS weird enough to do this sort of thing but the blush is a tell-all. How does she get Sakura to admit she's been reading it for pleasure? She's a know-it-all, so there has to be some way...]

So who's the big spoon and who's the little spoon?

[slugly]

Shut UP!!!

[Sakura tackles Ino and goes to put her in a headlock. Not enough to hurt her with her monster strength but just enough to show her who's boss.]

Stop making fun of me!

[It's not her fault that she's home on a Saturday night with only her boy smut to keep her company! She is so bad at socializing. If the boy ain't Sasuke, she ain't interested.]

But if you must know, the shorter one is usually the little spoon! It's common knowledge!

[cosmosic]

[What a know-it-all. But OW SAKURA THE HAIR BE CAREFUL OF THE HAIR. Also she's still holding your smut, don't want to ruin that now, DO WE??

Ino wriggles in her grip, using the smut as her shield and batting at Sakura with it.]

Ugh! You're acting like a barbarian, you cavewoman!

[With a bit of struggle, Ino wrestles them around until she's pinning wrists down to a fluffy duvet. She's breathing hard and her golden hair is a mess but getting a one-up on Forehead is always cause for a smile.

Which she is doing.]

Does that make you my little spoon, Forehead~? You are a centimeter shorter.

[slugly]

[Sakura manages to wrestle one wrist free and shoves a very fluffy pillow in Ino's face. She also tries to one handedly grab for her smutty book. IT'S GOING TO BE A LONELY SATURDAY NIGHT, SHE NEEDS TO FANTASIZE ABOUT HOT GUYS WITH BETTER LOVE LIVES THAN HER!]

I'm the more dominant one, I get to be the big spoon!

[Except... not really. Even though they are very similar, Ino was clearly a sadist while Sakura was a masochist. Sakura just wants to pretend for a few moments that she's in control.

But she's not because at the end of the day, she always goes along with whatever Ino wants.]

[cosmosic]

[Ino sits back on Sakura's hips, gripping the pillow and ready to beat her over her pink head for that move. ARE FEATHERS IN HER MOUTH GROSS. She mimics Sakura's voice as best she can, which is actually rather good;]

"The shorter one is usually the little spoon! It's common knowledge!" And last time I checked, Sakura, you're shorter.

Don't be a hypocrite along with being a pervert.

[With that, she slams the pillow down onto Sakura's big brain with a laugh while holding the book out to the side.]

[slugly]

[GOD, INO, YOU'RE SUCH A BULLY. Sakura flails for a few seconds trying not to get smothered by said pillow. She then attempts to roll them over so she's on top.

LIKE SHE WAS MEANT TO BE.]

I should have roomed with Hinata. At least she's NICE!

[Sakura makes an attempt to grab her book.]

And look who's talking, you're the biggest pervert! Always talking about hooking up with this hot guy or that hot guy!

[cosmosic]

Hey, I'm nice! Who's the one that always lets you borrow clothes when we go out because your closet is meant for a middle-aged lady!

[She only says this with love, Sakura. She's worried. Your mental age doesn't match your physical.

Ino pulls the book out of her reach again and by now, she already has enough proof that Sakura reads this stuff for pleasure. So now it's just the two of them being themselves. Sakura, a prude. Ino, the biggest flirt in the history of mankind.]

That's not being a pervert! That's just wanting to test the waters. I would be a pervert if I told you all about it. Like what positions we tried, his weak spots, the sounds he made...

[She could go on REALLY.]

[slugly]

NO!!! I don't want to hear about your sexploits!

[SHOVES AT HER.]

My clothes are perfectly fine! They are appropriate and comfortable! Not all of us want to walk around with their midriff and butt hanging out.

And give me back my book!

[Sakura frowns so hard at Ino.]

If you don't give it back I'm going to tell all your dates how you snore and drool in your sleep!

[cosmosic]

I don't!!

[She can't! How does Sakura know that anyway? Her hand tightens on the book and her expression turning angry.]

My butt doesn't hang out! [She does have some cute crops tops though. Sakura is just JEALOUS.]

You wish you had my butt. [And she drops the book between them. Sakura could read her trashy porn as long as the post-its REMAINED IN HER ROOM. She could post-it all over her space but the shared space was hers too. Her eyes read over the title of the book again, looking personally offended by its existence.]

Is that even good?

[slugly]

[Sakura is forever jealous of Ino's figure but she would rather die than tell her that. Ino is nice and curvy and Sakura still has the figure of a 12 year old boy. Stupid Ino. Sakura grumbles under her breath.]

ANYWAY.

[She really doesn't want to talk gay porn or post-its with Ino who clearly has no taste.]

Is there any leftover Chinese food in the refrigerator or did you eat it all?

[cosmosic]

I'll tell you if you tell me why you read this stuff.

[She snatches the book back and leans against the headboard, turning to a random page and reading out loud.]

"'Is is okay if you're the uke?' he asked, large, manly hands enclosing around a smaller torso. 'I have only been an uke,' he answered softly, looking down at the ground bashfully. 'I knew it,' the large hands squeezed his sides, reminding him this was a man full of power and masculinity. 'Your waist is so thin.'"

[There's a long pause and Ino slowly lowers the book.]

Seriously, Sakura?

[slugly]

You read that horrible Twilight book! It's the same premise!!!

[Sakura's face is so red that it looks like her head is going to burst into flames. She growls. Why does she have to feel humiliated?! There is nothing wrong with her reading choices!]

THOSE PANTS MAKE YOUR BUTT LOOK BIG!

[She goes to stomp off into the kitchen. You can bet that Sakura will be rage eating all of the Chinese food.]

[cosmosic]

I read it for laughs!

[Okay, maybe some parts were okay but mostly it was a messed up book about vampires. It was just an easy read and sort of entertaining.

BUT HOW DARE SHE SAY HER BUTT IS BIG HOW
DARE SHEEEEEe

it's perfect in these shorts THATS WHY SHE BOUGHT THEM]

YOUR NERD BRAIN MAKES YOUR FOREHEAD BIG!

[Not her BEST insult but still one. Ino huffs and decides to take Sakura's bed, throwing off pillows and getting comfortable and pulling the book back up to read.

Like Twilight, at least it's entertaining. Gag-worthy but still--]

[slugly]

[AUGH INO STOP READING HER SMUT!!! It makes her so uncomfortable because you are such a Judgey McJudgerson!

Sakura goes into the refrigerator and comes back with left over, cold low mein. It has a post-it on it that says "FOR SAKURA ONLY" but she notices some of it is missing. This bitch...]

Can you get out of my room already?! Don't you have a date??

[cosmosic]

[CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP]

Oh, you're right~~

[Setting the book to the side she grabs the plate of chow mein from Sakura and flicks the post-it off. It lands neatly in the pile Ino had already dumped on Sakura's bed.]

Thanks. I forgot about my date with this nice Chinese man.

[In a show, Ino stabs her fork into the noodles and puts it in her mouth. That'll teach her to say HER BUTT LOOKS BIG.]

[slugly]

Why do you have to take everything that's mine?!

[Nothing is sacred to Ino. She would probably steal Sakura's underwear if they would fit over her BIG BUTT. If she didn't love her so much, Sakura would have thrown Ino into traffic a long time ago.]

I was hungry!

[It's hard to stay mad at her best friend, though. Only she is allowed to mess with anyone. If someone else tried, Sakura would break their spines.]
