Roommates Meme
The Roommates Meme
Whether its in the dorms at college or just because it costs too much to live alone, sometimes you just end up sharing a living space with someone else. A roommate. Or even more than one. Sometimes they're your friends and others you hate their guts. Its not always easy adjusting to living with other people.
- Post with your characters, listing name and canon in the subject line along with any prefs.
- The person that replies is now your character's roommate.
- Either set a scenario of your own or use the RNG to pick one.
- Have fun threading things out!
1. Moving In - Say hello to your brand new roomie! They're moving in today. Are you going to help them with their boxes? Hopefully you get along.
2. Moving Out - For whatever reason, you're parting ways. One of you is moving out. Will it be a tearful goodbye or are you going to tell them not to let the door hit them on the way out?
3. Best Friends - You and your roommate have been together a long while and you've become great friends. Hang out, order a pizza, watch TV. Have some fun with this great person you live with!
4. Angry! - Maybe they left the bathroom a mess. Maybe they're just way too loud at night or they ate the last of your cereal. Whatever the reason, you're angry at your roommate. Maybe they're mad too. Have a fight or try to work it out somehow.
5. Falling for them - You didn't think it would happen but it has. That roommate of yours is just your type and you've fallen for them. Will you tell them or keep it to yourself? Maybe they already know and are trying to figure out things for themselves.
6. Wildcard - Roll again or pick your own. Whatever looks fun.

Damn it Nick! They're working on the sober parts?
Nick can take as many cuddles as he wants.
Monroe can appreciate the human way to show affection. He's watched enough Hallmark movies to get all of this. The fingers through the hair means something, especially while curled up in bed. They've got some sort of strange hybrid of human and Blutbad relationship signals.
Nick doesn't get anything wrong ever. Well other then the first 15 minutes of their meeting. Don't bust any lips. The smell of blood is not an aphrodisiac. Ever. Not that he minds having his kiss returned. Pretty much the opposite. Or the exact opposite, which ever seems less strange. Back to the point: Monroe likes getting kissed he just wants Nick safe and uninjured.
"Weren't you saying you didn't want to sound ominous?" Come on Nick. And he can hold out of coffee for Nick, so long as Nick gets at least one cup before he goes to work. "Because that was the exact opposite of not sounding ominous."
no subject
All of the cuddles for Nick, then.
No, Monroe, don't get impressions of human affection from Hallmark movies. That's like Nick getting his impressions of Blutbad affections from bad werewolf romance novels. But yeah, at least Monroe's right about the fingers through his hair thing. And it may be a strange hybrid, but that kind of suits them.
Yeah, other than that. He's still sorry about that, by the way. And he's not going to bust any lips, because he's in full agreement that blood is definitely not an aphrodisiac. Also, Monroe is adorable when he rambles, but yes, Nick agrees with that point, too.
Nick huffs a soft laugh at that. "Sorry. I promise, it's not ominous, it just might take a while. Which means my arm is probably going to go numb if I stay like this, so." He stops propping himself up on one arm, sprawling heavily on top of Monroe for a moment before he rolls them back over onto their sides, facing each other.
His hand settles automatically at Monroe's lower back, rubbing soft circles, while his other hand slides down to Monroe's neck, touching one of the bite marks he made. "We should probably talk about the biting, first, considering we kind of, um, spent most of last night doing that."
no subject
About damn time. Does cuddling include biting?
Well it's not like Monroe is going to ask Nick what human affections mean. He can figure them out based on snuggles.
And because they share a lot of the normal people behaviorsThey are the best wesen normal-ish hybrid.At least bust any lips that belong to them. Other lips can be busted as often as Nick likes. Monroe knows how much Nick likes to punch people in the face. So he should ramble more? Will Nick actually listen?
He shouldn't complain about snuggles but he liked having Nick laying on him. He grumbles unhappily. "So ominous now means your arm might fall asleep? That's a far cry from last week. Where's all the violence?"
And already Nick knows how to get Monroe to do whatever he wants. The touching thing was bad enough, now he knows about the lower back. Great, he's screwed. But he's not complaining, at least not really complaining. "Oh right that. How much do you know about that?" Say a lot!
no subject
Cuddling can include whatever Monroe wants it to. Especially more biting.
Monroe could. It'd be only fair, since Nick's asking him what Blutbad affections mean. But also, yeah, Nick's pretty relieved that Monroe can figure them out, and that Monroe shares them.
Nick really does like to punch people in the face. It's good that he found someone that's okay with his standard method of dealing things. And yes, Monroe should ramble more. Nick'll always listen to him.
Right, Nick hears that grumbling, and it's not too difficult to connect it to the fact that Nick is no longer laying on top of him. Mental note to do that again soon. "Hey, I distinctly said not ominous. My arm falling asleep is just annoying. Also, I think my face has had enough violence for a while, thanks."
Well, no, actually, Nick doesn't really know that's what he's doing. He just likes touching Monroe, and Monroe said he trusted him with the lower back thing. So Monroe's only partially screwed?
"Uh. Well, there's two answers to that. The first one is, nothing. Like I said, there's not really anything in the Grimm books about, uh, that kind of stuff. The second one - and I don't mean anything offensive by this, okay? - is that I may have looked up some stuff on wolf behavior." Right, this is a really awkward way to have this conversation. It's hard to not look at someone when you're curled up with them. "They said it's kind of a dominance thing, kind of a trust thing?"
no subject
That might not be the best thing to say. Now he has permission to do anything.
So he should just mess with Nick and ask him to explain cuddles? Or other things? Except then Nick would get back at him for that somehow.
So the next time the guy at the DMV starts talking on the phone instead of helping him, Nick can punch him in the face.
Monroe reaches out and brushes his thumb on the none broken part of Nick's cheek. He should have checked on this earlier. He asks in a worried tone, "Should I go get more ice?"
Nick's a detective. Eventually he'll figure it out.
"Pretty much." Only not really. And yeah it's awkward having to look someone in the eyes while explaining species related mating habits. And that sounded oddly clinical. But he needs to explain this. "It's also a marking thing. You know so everyone knows you're taken, and you have a cranky Blutbad at home waiting for you. It keeps anyone from trying to put their hands on you."
Nick gets that they're together right?
no subject
Monroe's more than welcome to try and mess with Nick like that! But yeah, Nick will absolutely get him back. So as long as Monroe's prepared for that.
That's too much of a public place for Nick to be punching anyone in the face. ...maybe if no one else is looking.
Nick leans into Monroe's hand, eyes slipping shut as he enjoys the touch. "Nah. It's past the point of being useful, really." That's not exactly true, as Nick knows very well that icing off and on can be good for reducing the size of the bruise for up to 48 hours after getting the injury, but it won't do much for the pain. And Nick doesn't want to get out of bed yet.
Well, yes. But for a while, he's only partially screwed?
"...oh." Huh. Nick'd expected to be called an idiot again, or scolded for applying wolf behavior to Blutbaden, or something. He thinks about that, and about Monroe's additional explanation, for a long moment. "So when I let you bite me last night, that was me saying I trust you, and letting you claim me? And when I, uh, bit you back-" -kept biting him back- "-it was the same? So everyone'd know we were off limits?"
He does now.
no subject
Yeah, he's not.
It's the DMV, everyone would applaud.
"Don't blame me when your eyes are swollen shut." He says while his full cranky voice, but he affectionately brushes the hair out of Nick's eyes. Look he's being cranky, not affectionate at all. Nick is an idiot. No feelings here. Ok, he's lying.
Or he could actually be screwed. That works for Monroe too.
"Yeah" He would have mocked him, but it didn't seem like a good time. This conversation is awkward enough. He looks down, but that ends up putting his gaze at the marks on Nick's neck so he shifts and looks at Nick's forehead. "Is that ok?"
Good, and just wait until Monroe finds out about the bite marks on the back of his neck. Totally different means there.
no subject
Good point. Take that, DMV.
"Only one eye's in danger of that," Nick replies, obviously teasing. Also, he sees that affection, Monroe. There's no hiding it from Nick. Of course, there's also no hiding the ridiculously fond smile on Nick's face at Monroe's display of affection.
That works for Nick, too. That really, really works for Nick, actually, Nick's going to get on that now.
Nick's response to that is to tangle his fingers in Monroe's hair, and then use his grip to tilt Monroe's head back so he can bite at Monroe's throat. "Yeah," he murmurs. "That's really okay. That, uh. Kind of also answers a couple of other things. Like why you seemed so insistent on focusing on one or two marks. Or why you kept growling 'mine' at me."
...yeah, that's going to make for an interesting conversation.
no subject
Win.
That stupid fond smile. Normally he tries not to see it, because he goes weak at the knees like some love sick teenager. Now he can enjoy it as much as he wants since Nick is his now, and he's laying down. Monroe grins back and slides his fingers threw Nick's hair, resting his hand on the back of Nick's head. Sarcasm for Nick. "It's just one eye. You don't need both of them for your job."
Yes 'get on that'. Heh.
Monroe's head drops back instantly. Go ahead bite to his heart's content. He does try to angle his head to get Nick to bit at the right spot. To the left, Nick. "Yeah. And it's limited to a few spots." Don't ask about the other ones. Things will get weird.
Monroe's turn to ask awkward things now. And he'd really rather not ask, but Nick brought it up. He doesn't want to have this conversation later. He focuses on Nick's bangs. That's a good place to look. Especially since Nick has bed hair. "Soooo? Were you really ok with the growling thing? You were pretty drunk and I don't have to do that again."
no subject
He can definitely enjoy it as much as he wants. And he's going to get it a lot more often, now that Nick can do it intentionally, instead of just when he doesn't reign himself in. "Nah. Who needs a thing like depth perception?"
Monroe dropping his head back like that reminds Nick of another thing on his list, but he'll focus on the ones they're talking about right now. He hadn't actually intended to do more than a quick bite to show that he was okay with it, but with Monroe angling his neck like that and trying to get him to bite more, Nick bites at his neck again, this time over the right spot. "I bet I can guess what those spots are," Nick comments dryly. That would be the two giant marks on his neck that sting slightly when the sheets rub against them.
That is the theme of conversations this morning. Awkward things that they'd rather not ask, but will only come up later if they don't. And Monroe's refusal to meet his eyes reminds Nick once again, that this isn't the best position to have to discussion stuff like this in. So he gently pushes Monroe over onto his back and slides on top of him, where they can look up or down or to the side if they need to, or even hide their faces in each other's necks.
Also, it's an excuse to get back on top of Monroe, laying on him again so Nick doesn't have to worry about his arm going numb while completely propping himself up. "I might not go on about how rumbly you are and how much I like the vibrations, but yeah, I like the growling thing. I want you to do it again."
no subject
Oh great, because that was his intention. He sighs contently when Nick bites the right spot. About damn time. Notice he isn't tipping his head back down. He's staying right there. Throat exposed. Take the hint, detective. He snorts, but he stops toying with Nick's hair and rubs his thumb along one of the marks. "Yeah." Wait they sting? Monroe doesn't want him to hurt.
This conversation got a lot better now that Nick rolls them over. And that was a good idea, eye contact makes things strange. Laying on top of Monroe is a great way to fix that. He snarks but he's completely serious when he says, "Does this mean we're done talking?"
Dude, he figures as much. Who could resist his charms? Let's pretend he has charms. "But that was my favorite part." He bares his throat again and growls. And now that Nick knows the right spot he's expecting results here, man.
no subject
What, reminding Nick of more things he needs to talk about, or making it so Nick bites him again? And Nick takes that hint, spending a few moments biting at that spot. And yeah, they do sting a little, when something rubs against them. Monroe spent kind of a long time biting there, man, it's at the point where it's practically a bruise. But it's nothing he can't handle, and he doesn't even react when Monroe touches it.
Laying on top of Monroe is a great way to fix just about anything, actually. Nick's discovering that he really, really likes it. For a moment, Nick is tempted to snark back, maybe slide his hand under Monroe's shirt, over his stomach, but restrains himself. Half because, well, he's pretty sure if he tries that, he won't be able to stop. "I wish. But I told you, this could get long."
Monroe has charms. He has a lot of charms, and Nick definitely can't resist them. Nick chuckles at that, and then - oh, hey, growling, and yeah, Nick still likes that as much as he did last night. He bites down on Monroe's neck, teeth set hard over the right spot, and follows it with a lick. "I lied, I'm going to comment on the rumbly. It's even better when I'm actually on your chest."
no subject
Reminding Nick more about that damn dirty list. And Nick gets the right spot again. This is about the best thing ever. Monroe slides his hand back so he can cup the back of Nick's neck.
Smart Nick. If he tried any of that there was no chance he'd get to work. Probably ever again. But they can't just not touch at all so he rests one hand on Nick's lower back. "Oh great. What else could you possibly have left to ask about? Do Blutbad have litters?" Seriously. Are they done?
Like that Irish serial killer from Austin Powers? Nick's gotten the hang of this marking thing. All of Monroe's approval. At least this time Monroe doesn't think it's a good idea to growl for 20 minutes like an idiot. "I knew it. No one can resist it."
no subject
What if Nick starts bribing Monroe? Ever answer Monroe gives, Nick'll bite him. Or maybe kiss him, since Monroe's neck might not need any more bites.
Well, the not getting to work today doesn't bother him too much, considering he's kind of already planning on calling in. It's the talking part that they still need to do. Nick snorts at that. "Yeah, that's one thing we're really not going to have to worry about. And I was just going to check a few off, figuring my assumptions were good enough, but since you're so curious about it, I'll just ask them all." And he's arching back slightly, into Monroe's hand on his back. "Like that. That was one of them."
Except without the serial killer part. And Nick's not sure he has. He might need more practice. ...also, he'd like more growling. "You better not be doing this for anyone else. Blutbaden aren't the only ones who can be possessive."
no subject
At this point there might not be any new places to bite, so he'll take the kisses. And yes that is the best way to bribe him.
Nick's not going into work today? Yes! And the day just got better, even if he is going to have to answer a bunch of awkward questions before he gets breakfast or probably even lunch before they've finished. Monroe snorts. They really aren't going to have to worry about that. "Damn it. Can we forget I said anything? And like what?" Monroe is a little dense sometimes.
"I promise I won't growl for any one else." Like he'd have a reason to growl for anyone else. He's got the best mate. He rubs Nick's lower back absentmindedly.
no subject
Well, there's some spots in between the bites? But yeah, at this point, kisses would probably work at lot better. And that's good to know!
He'll still have to do some paperwork, but he can do that from home. Anything to make Monroe's day better, especially since he's going to have to answer some many questions. "Nope, sorry. I can't forget it. But if it makes you feel any better, some of the things on the list is stuff I have to talk about." Yeah, Nick's noticed. But then Nick's also distracted by the growling.
"Not in this context, anyway. Those kinds of growls are my growls." Nick's glad Monroe thinks so, because Nick definitely isn't going anywhere. But then he's reminded of what he was talking about again. "That. The lower back thing."
no subject
Better fix that then. Monroe is just going to be one giant walking hickey.
He snorts. "So I don't have to be the only one that wants to sink into the mattress? That makes this much better." Sarcasm!
"Yeah they are." Nick called Monroe his. He's Nick's. Everything about him is Nick's. All the derping, and snarking, and everything including those growls. It takes Monroe a second to figure out what Nick means by the 'lower back thing.' His hand freezes on Nick's back. "Oh right, that. You know what the lower back is to Blutbaden right?" AKA did you read the books? He needs to know how much he has to explain here. Like the horrible pain part.
no subject
But a really happy giant walking hickey?
"There are other ways to sink into a mattress, that we could try out when we're done," Nick says, leaning a little bit more heavily into Monroe.
And Nick kind of likes the confirmation, that something about Monroe is just for Nick. "Mine," he murmurs, pressing his lips lightly against Monroe's neck, because Monroe had said that a lot more than Nick had last night, so Nick has some catching up to do.
Nick feels a little guilty when Monroe's hand stills on his lower back. "'The Blutbad lower back contains a cluster of nerve endings. When struck, the pain felt by the Blutbad seems debilitating.'" Yeah, Nick is reciting from the Grimm book on Blutbaden. And there'd been more in that paragraph, but the rest of it had been about disabling and killing, which isn't exactly what Nick wants to bring up here.
no subject
You're damn right!
"Damn it. You are such a jerk sometimes." Not cool man. He cannot expect Monroe to be able to have a serious discussion about Blutbad dating habits after that. He is not going to be paying attention. He wraps one if leg around Nick's at the ankle.
There's a slight hitch in his breathing when Nick says 'Mine.' He's never going to get tired of hearing that.
Dude that just sounds creepy and a little clinical. But props for remembering it. "Yeah. So it you were a Blutbad, I could seriously hurt you right not. Not that I ever would even if you were a Blutbad. It's just a serious trust thing. We usually try to keep everyone away from that spot." Plus it just feels good. So long as they don't take the opportunity to punch them or something.
"But you're not. A Blutbad." He knows that dummy. Awkward. Right, so it's dumb to rub and touch Nick's lower back. So he slides his hand up to the bottom of Nick's shoulder blades. You're mated to a human now. Different set of rules. This is a normal spot to rest your hand for people right?
no subject
"That backfired," Nick admits. "Apparently trolling doesn't work when you really want what you're trolling about, too." Yeah, Nick's going to stop doing things like that, now, or neither of them will be paying attention. Though he doesn't attempt to move Monroe's leg at all.
Nick notices that little hitch. He's going to file that away for future reference, now. Future reference as in probably in a few minutes.
Yeah, it really does. But Nick has a kind of photographic memory like that. Nick listens to that, considering. "But you let me touch yours." Nick'd never take the opportunity to punch him. "I think - actually, I think drunk me got that, somehow, given how insistent I was on protecting it. Not really sure what I thought I was going to do completely wasted and with my gun downstairs, but yeah."
There's another moment of consideration. "But you are. It - might not mean the same thing, but I'd trust you with it. If I was. And I like you having your hand there."
no subject
His eyebrows raise when Nick says he really wants that too. Good to know he wasn't just trolling him. He grins. So maybe that chasing thing will happen sooner than he thought. So long as he doesn't comment on wanting to get out of talking sooner. He keeps steadily rubbing Nick's lower back. His other hand moves to Nick's arm and lazily strokes it up and down from Nick's shoulder to his elbow. Distraction, go! "Yeah really doesn't. Guess you just trolled yourself."
How about like now?
"That's not surprising. Drunk you managed to figure out a lot. You were trying to protect my back?" That is the cutest thing ever. And also a little funny since neither of them would've be able to do anything considering how drunk they were.
Monroe's hand instantly shifts back down to Nick's lower back. "You'd make a horrible Blutbad. Almost as bad as me." That's a compliment by the way.
They done now?
no subject
Nick sees those raised eyebrows. Of course he wasn't just trolling him. "What, apparently all the talking I did last night about how much I wanted to chase you down and pin you to things in the fun way, let you chase me down, bend you over, promising to act on my suggestive comments about thrusting, and telling you I'd make it worth the wait wasn't enough to let you know that I want you?" And yeah, that chasing thing can happen pretty much as soon as they're done talking and Nick calls in sick. Maybe after breakfast.
....oooo, stroking. Nick sees what he's doing there, but he's not going to stop it. "It was bound to happen at some point."
"Unfortunately, drunk me also managed to talk in circles and decide thinking was my problem. Although I did get the scent thing, so there's that." Nick snorts, absently tracing a pattern over Monroe's heart. "Yeah. That's why I rolled you over like that when we went to sleep. I decided it was important, that I was guarding it. Of course, I also decided it was important to tell you that your beard was scratchy and I like that."
Nick shifts when Monroe moves his hand, pressing his back into the touch. "Well, in that case, I'd make the best Blutbad, because that's what you are."
Almost?
"There's only one or two other things that're actually Blutbad-y. Mostly, uh, the pack thing. Not that I'm complaining, obviously, considering how I kept calling us a pack last night, but that's... not going to cause any problems, or anything?"
no subject
Monroe might be holding his breath during most of that monologue. At least he's not drooling. Can Nick go back to the chasing and bending over part. And the thrusting. Those where his favorite parts. "Well you were pretty drunk when you said all that. You also kept wanting me to growl, remember?" But no really go back to those parts.
He snorts but keeps up all the stroking.
Monroe lifts his head up and sniffs at Nick's neck. Nick smells so much like him now. Not enough, but a lot, and enough for right now. He mums contently. He grins like a dork again. His mate was protecting his back. "Thanks." what he means is 'I love you' but this time he kept the conversation on topic.
He snorts again, but it's good to hear anyway. No matter how many Blutbaden would disagree with Nick on that. "You're such an idiot. But you're mine."
\o/
"No?" Why would it cause problems? Right over his head. Besides Nick is his pack. Which is the best thing ever, and nothing bad could ever come from that. "Well nothing besides me trying to get you to call in sick as often as possible."
no subject
Coincidentally, those were Nick's favorite parts, too. He'd be more than happy to go back to those. Though maybe not until after talking. "Well, yeah. But I also told you I meant the growling thing. Trust me, Monroe, I - really want you."
Mmm, stroking.
Nick tilts his head to let Monroe sniff at his neck, running his fingers idly through Monroe's hair. His other hand is still on Monroe's chest, and he stretches out his fingers, splayed over Monroe's heart. "Always." He means 'I love you,' too, but he also really does mean 'always.'
There's a chuckle at Monroe's snort, and Nick presses a very soft kiss to Monroe's throat. "I'm protesting the idiot part."
Then Nick laughs, rubbing his forehead against Monroe's throat in as much nuzzling as he can do at the moment. "That'll probably work today, but not very often after that." Which is also something Nick needs to talk about, but for the moment, he's on the pack thing. "I just meant, you said it could be bad, when you got into packs."
no subject
All this damn talking is going to drive him nuts. Frustrated! Come on man. They're both dudes. Nick should know that's not cool. "But you want to talk more."
Damn it Nick take the hint!
Monroe nuzzles at Nick's throat, and lets his beard scratch against his skin. Scratchy! His heart rate quickens when Nick's hand spreads out over his heart. He caught the hidden meaning there. He loves hearing that. Even if he didn't actually hear it.
"You can protest it as much as you want." He just leaves out the 'but it doesn't make it any less true.' He wants those throat kisses. He 'll just keep the last part to himself so that he can keep getting them.
Poor Nick and his inability to nuzzle. "Really? I figured I could just keep you home everyday." He wishes. Really really wishes. And oh that makes more sense. "Blutbaden sort of feed off eachothers instincts. So long as you don't start getting the urge to chase down anyone wearing red. We'll be ok. Besides since you've been around-"
He got into one of his rambling modes. And started to blurt something important out in a stream of consciousness. He takes a second to think about how to phrase this. "Staying in control isn't exactly what I'd call easy. But it's gotten easier since you showed up."
For someone that really wants to finishes the explanations he sure talks a lot.
