Work Text:
It is another beautiful day in my shitty apartment. I wake up, feed the cats, pass by the bag from a nice cosmetics store full of expensive product on the kitchen countertop, and open the fridge to get an egg to eat.
I take one step back, jaw dropping to the floor. Hong Lu comes in from our bathroom with his hair wrapped up in a towel and a face mask on. “Oh! Good morning, my beloved!”
“Lulu. What is this.”
“Oh, everything I use for my usual routine!” He starts taking things out of the bag one by one. “I noticed I was close to running out, so I went and bought more~ This is an XXX brand moisturizer made with high quality—”
“How much did it cost.”
“Ahh...” He fishes the receipt out from the bag. “Let’s see...only about...$245? It’s not a lot. Plus, there was a sale! You said we should always try to take advantage of sales, right?”
Hong Lu sleeps on the couch that night.
