"Je- holy pogo stick! PUT A GODDAMNED SHIRT ON TORI!"
The screech from Tamaras mouth was so goddamned loud Tori's face screwed up in pain. Clasping her hands over her ears and rounding on Tamara to stick her tongue out.
"Shut up! I can wear what i want"
She bitched back. Removing her hands from her ears to dramatically gesture out. Not a single peice of clothing on her upper body. Unless you count that stupid necklace she had with a weird red symbol on it.
But Tamara's eyes were more drawn to the nice rack™ right in her face, and then she drew her eyes back up to Tori's face. Stupid weird anime like red eyes staring into her sockets and Tamara couldn't help but glare.
"It's indecent"
She snapped back and Tori groaned and did a full 360 turn to show her utter displeasure and then stared back at Tam again and snorted.
"Why are you complainin'. First time you've ever seen good tits"
Her accent came out thicker on those words and Tam threw her arms up and turned to leave. Groaning even louder than Tori to make a point.
"I'm leaving"
She grumbled and stomped out of Tori's bedroom. Why was she even in the chick's room in the first place? Oh yeah cuz Tori stole some of Tam's chapstick and she wanted it back goddamnit.
She certainly didn't expect — when Tori told her to come in after she knocked — to see Tori on her bed. Wearing some stupid black panties and nothing else. Like actually. Cover up, jesus.
Stupid Commies.
Stupid commies and their stupid panties and stupid not shaving (it wasn't stupid actually Tamara can't remember the last time she shaved. Maybe 14 when she had her legs exposed for school photos? Man, fuck skirts). But Tori made it stupid! With that fluff and stupid pit hair that she kinda wanted to bury her nose in and just snuggle.
It wasn't gay, Tam wasn't a lesbian she swears. Screw you actually.
But Tori was probably the only person Tam had ever maybe. Even potentially thought about the idea of kissing. And tam had only ever kissed some kid in grade 5 she forgot the name of. Highschool romance was overrated.
You know what else was overrated? Return of the insane zombie pirates 4. Tam still can't believe they watched that stupid movie. Then Tori kept saying cryptic shit. Went to her old lab. Was about to shift the entire house, just to get to a robot but then realised she could just.
Shift the entire house without breaking anything! But that means she'd actually have to rig up the plate the house was on and she was lazyyyy. So then she stuck around for a bit until she got the motivation.
That was 7 months ago now.
And that was 7 months too many of Tam having to deal with Tori's weird shit.
Whatever. Wasn't her business. She could get that chapstick back later.
Right now was time to retune her beloved base guitar and then nap. Then maybe chew on some mint cookies until Tori came and bothered her again.
.............
Tam got three- three hours of glorious peace and quiet, she tuned her guitar, had a nap, went out and only ate one mint cookie, nibbling on it like a creature and feeling proud of herself for not eating too much junk.
Then she went back to her room. Decided to sort through her pile of papers. Put some headphones in. Sat at her desk. Enjoyed music and gentle rythmic motions until arms slid around her neck and shoulders.
Very familair arms with old burns healing along her left hands thumb and nails nicely trimmed short. Unlike Tam's slightly longer painted ones.
She held her breath. Pulled out her earphones then muttered all grumpy.
"What?"
Tori just giggled in return, rubbing Tam's shoulders and biceps through her hoodie. Leaning down and bumping her face in close, rubbing her chin ontop of Tam's head.
Tori was a lot like a cat, most of the time content to sit in the same room in silence. Or a different one but then occasionally she'd flaunt her arse over and then be all affectionate and cuddly for a bit.
And Tori would also do the cat thing where she stumbled then immediately pretended she meant to do that. Or pranced around like an idiot.
It made Tam snort sometimes.
Tori started tilting her head down. Nudging to rub her face against the side of Tam's. Nuzzling in before she pressed kiss after kiss to the piercings in Tam's ear. It made her shoulders kinda hunch as she tried to get away from the tickly sensation. Laughing a little.
"Ge'offfff"
She whined. Tori cooed and then removed her arms only to settle her hands on Tam's shoulders and swing her around. The wheels of her desk chair squeaking. Tam yelped and glared at Tori. Tori just grinned back. They made uncomfortable eye contact for a second. Red boring into...nothing? Hammer space, who knows.
And then Tori leaned down to utterly assault her face with kissies. Smooches all along Tam's right cheek. No mercy given and suddenly she was hunching the opposite way and turning her head in a laugh.
"Tori!"
She yelped. Batting her off and Tori cackled. Trying to grab Tam's face as she wriggled and squirmed. Desperate to get away from the commies touch, only to be completely trapped.
Then the onslaught ended. Tam finally looked up, Tori stared down at her a smug grin on those stupid lips and her eyes all squinty like when she actually laughs.
"You look gay"
Are the first words out of Tam's mouth when she stops giggling and Tori just snorts.
"I'll be all gay inside something pretty soon if you don't shut up"
Tam chokes out a laugh at that and pushes Tori back, the commie lets herself be pushed away and then swivels. Exiting the room and smiling all flaunty. Her inaginary tail held high as she saunters out of the room.
Tori really was like a cat, huh.
.............
"Y'know, i think we shou-"
Matilda's mindless blather continues on even though Tam's very obviously not listening at all. No, in fact she's too busy death glaring Commie. Why? Cuz for some lordious reason she's got no pants on. Just some black panties that look like she stole them off a model.
Makes her chest feel tight.
And TAMARAS SHIRT. it doesn't even look good. It looks shit. And y'know what? One day. Tam's gonna rip Tori's fucking head off.
But not right now. Cuz the armchairs really comfy.
Maybe another day.
