Work Text:
On a Saturday morning after 2010, where it’s 2015, which is also the time of technology being more technological to everyone around, Nicole and Jecka was cleaning up their house when it’s all around dirty from a dinner party they had last night that caused a bit of lots of noise complaints from Nicole, and to lots of cleaning up from the both of the girls’ sake.
“Do we really have to, Jecka? I could live in this filth for one more day.”
“Yes, we do, Nicole cause I'm too pretty to be living like some dumpster rat.”
“Bitch, you look like a dumpster rat with your hair like that.”
“You do too!”
“It all happened when you or whoever that was pulling my fucking hair!”
“It was just us two, Nicole. Calm the fuck down and get to cleaning our room!”
“Fine, Jecka. I’ll do it your way.”
“Thank you. It’s just from how it’s just the 2010s 4 years ago, it’s making it hard to realize that it’s going to be more different with all this new tech shit that everyone’s glazing over.”
“Well, that’s what we get and why we live around this time.”
“I guess, but I hope nothing bad happens to us around this year unlike the last 2 years.
“Yeah, sure. It’s not like anything’s gonna happen when we get outside right?” Nicole says.
“Whatever, you asshole.” Jecka giggles at Nicole.
“Anyways, are you done with your side of the house?”
“Yeah, I'm done with everything from this side.”
“Well, all I have is the bedroom to do with the drawers and the bed itself.”
“Well, good. I'm gonna help you with it so you don't have to do it yourself.”
“You know you don't have to for how you need to fix your hair-”
“We can both fix our hair while we clean the entire room and see how far we can go until it's messed up again."
"That's only if you want to have it like it is right now."
Yeah... Wait.. what the fuck are these..?!" Nicole exclaimed when she held something in her hands out of the drawer.
"What did you find?" Jecka said, over to Nicole’s side of the bed.
When cleaning out of her own drawers to see something that was unknown to Nicole, curious to Jecka's notice on Nicole's face is an old dusted document folder that was tucked inside of the drawer with 5 different photos that are hidden inside which wasn't there before or even in their hands at all when it was in the drawer.
"What is it- What the fuck is that?"
"Well, why don't you look and see what it is, since you're curious."
"It looks like a document."
"Yeah no duh, honey. It's literally a goddamn document folder that was in my drawer!"
"But what are these photos for?? -gasps- Wait!!" Jecka shouted happily.
“What is it?!”
“These were photos of when we were teenagers and messed the fuck up and maybe we used this document folder to keep all these photos in to preserve them!”
“When did we have an old 2000s folder inside my drawer is the real question.”
“Yeah.. Oh! Maybe I might’ve putted in your drawer when I was at your house that one time when we were stupid drunk and had to crash at your place cause of me still not ok after driving, and had the photos in my hand, wondering where to put them and just putted them inside a folder you had in your drawer that you’ve never used until now that had an undercover flap for other things.”
“Wow. surprised you still remember all that from being drunk.”
“I mean, I wasn’t fully drunk at the time, cause it was still processing it, Nicole.”
“That settles it, I guess. So I guess these were all at Kelly’s place again?”
"Obviously not because it’s not her living room and we’re outside in one of these pictures."
"Alright, Alright. I get what you mean. But what do you think this means?"
"It means that we have memories of us together as a couple that we have preserved for future us to see how dumb younger us were before we came into our own house..” Jecka said, cutely.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down! We were still young after high school as seen in the third photo.”
“Yeah, let’s go check out and see what else is in this.”
After leaving the bedroom and cleaning in a pausing state, the couple takes the photos and organizes them in a line of a small history of what they did together after post school.
When looking from perspective on either side, it tells a story of how they became a couple, done a lot of things together that were good and bad, still hanged out with Emily, Ari, Karen, etc. being the most of them together in one photo, to them graduating from the death hell of a school, to their future lives together when getting married years later.
"How do we get here..?”
“Did you seriously forget all the things we’ve done over the years??”
“I meant as a saying, Nicole! Don’t you know the figure of speech?”
“Whatever, Jecka. I think it’s an experience that I haven’t had with anyone like you before, since it's mostly about my mom and my brother being the two things that made me how I am today, until you came in and it made all that go away to only care for… you.”
“It feels the same for me to you too, honey. I’m happy that you’re my wife. And i’ll never forget about that.”
“Like how you forgot our anniversary that one time?”
“Hey!! That was a touching moment right there!! Don’t do that to me!”
“I’m kidding, babe. I know it was a mistake, though the sex made it better than what you originally did.”
“Yeah, it’s something for anything that goes wrong, but we shouldn’t overboard it anytime at all cause how you are feral in bed.”
“Yeah, I know I do.” Nicole said, picking up one of the photos.
“And we create new memories as well. In which we can do with the rest of the girls.”
“You sure, cause it could be an absolute shitshow that could come up anytime soon.”
“I’m sure, as long as I have you, It’s always going to be a shitshow.”
“Alright. Let’s see what we can do.”
