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!

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.]

[cosmosic]

[The end of Sakura's protest is punctuated with Ino stuffing a forkful of noodles into her mouth, so they both have some Chinese man in their mouth.

H e h.

Since she's fed her starving roommate enough to shut her up a little, she scoots over and the bed as a show to give her room. Like it's her bed she's sharing and not Sakura's she's comandeered along with her plate of chow mein.]

[slugly]

[It's kind of nice to be fed, even if Ino lacked sensitivity and just sort of shoved in her mouth. Sakura gets back on her bed, wondering how her life had gotten so out of control. Ino is always pulling the strings and Sakura just goes along with it. Sigh.]

... I really do need to get out more, don't I.

[Sakura has a lot to offer she's just... she's been burned before. It's really hard to approach men.]

[cosmosic]

[She would have been nice about it if Sakura wasn't such a jerk and SAID HER BUTT WAS BIG. She's still hurting a little from it ok. This time, after she takes another mouthful, she offers the fork to Sakura instead. She chews as she muses, relaxing on Sakura's simple white pillows.]

It's not for just dating, you know. You need to hang out with your friends more and stop locking yourself up in here and...

[A pointed look at her SMUT.]

'Researching.' Remember when you used to follow me everywhere and did everything I do. [A forlorn sigh but the corner of her mouth lifts slightly revealing it's mostly for show.]

I miss that.

[slugly]

[Sakura is very happy now that they're sharing food. Ino is usually bad at sharing with others; Sakura knows she's special. She snorts at Ino's reminiscing.]

We were six and that was before I knew about all your terrible life choices. Like I'd do everything you do now.

[Ino KNOWS she has the perfect butt. Sakura is forever just trying to make sure she doesn't get a big ego!]

But maybe it wouldn't kill me to be more social... once in a while.

[cosmosic]

[Too late Ino has the BIGGEST EGO EVER.]

It's more healthy than sitting here reading porn and stuffing your face with day old chinese food.

[She finally laughs and then muses aloud.]

We sure did grow up from being little girls, didn't we. If I had known you were going to turn into a weird nerd with a post-it problem I'm not sure I would have let you follow me around.

[Except she would. Every single time. It's better if Sakura doesn't know just how important she is to her though. It made it more fun this way.]

[slugly]

I am NOT a nerd!

[God, Ino, why is she friends with you??]

I can go out with people and do fun stuff if I want to. I'll show you!

[... maybe tomorrow. Right now, wearing sweatpants is so much more pleasurable than putting a bra on and going out into the world.]

[cosmosic]

Alright, Neko Butler-chan.

[BECAUSE YOU LOVE HER.

Sakura going out and doing fun stuff isn't going to bars and shopping and hanging out with large groups and being the center of attention like Ino's is. Her version of fun is probably sitting around a coffee shop in the middle of a book meeting and discussing their favorite parts in her porn.

Actually she wouldn't even do that. She would just sit in the corner and read it because Sakura won't admit to anyone she enjoys two guys doing it.]

So show me. I'm invited to a party this weekend and I wanted you to go with me. Up for it? Or are you going to back out and stay at home?

[Takes another mouthful of chinese food and Sakura you don't ever need bras you have little bitty titties.]
