~=:(" Floof's Arrival "):=~

It's been a couple days since Frauke's arrival and nothing new has happened yet. I'm starting to feel like no one else is coming, but at the same time, I feel like someone's just going to waltz in through the door and shout "honey, I'm home!"

I giggle at the thought before I shake it off and get up from my bed, beginning to walk around quietly. I'd unpacked all of my clothes and a majority of my furniture, I was just waiting for the last few boxes of room accessories to arrive like my posters and plushies, that sort of thing. I then look out my window to see someone approaching the driveway, my eyebrows raising.

He was tall, possibly around six foot with blonde hair, but that's all I could see from this angle. He didn't look up at me, instead he continued to walk towards the door with his bags in his hands. Could it be..

"FLOOF!" I exclaim before bolting out of my room and sliding down the bannister, almost falling off but I was too full of excitement to care about the fact I could've hurt myself and by the time I got there, the door was already open and he'd walked straight in.

He then turned to look at me, a smile crossing his face as he nodded. "Ely, good to see you."

I return a wide smile as I waved. "Ryan and Frauke were in the living room last I checked if you wanna see them?"

"Sure, lead the way." He grinned, placing his bags down before he ran a hand through his hair.

I then headed towards the living room, still smiling widely on my way there and he followed behind, looking around the hallway curiously.

I then stopped in the doorway, puffing my cheeks. "Here we ar—"

James then walked into me and I toppled over, falling flat on my butt which caused him and the other two behind me to laugh.

I simply pout in response as I get myself back up, arms folding as my cheeks tinted pink with embarrassment. "Thanks, Floof."

He grinned, ruffling my hair. "No problem, Snef."

I cringed at my old nickname, though smiled through it as I turned to Ryan and Frauke who were still giggling.

"It wasn't that funny, guys." I huffed, eyes narrowing.

Ryan cleared his throat, though kept a small smirk as he came over. "It's your face that made me laugh."

I gasp in fake hurt before I burst into giggles, unable to stay serious by this point. "I guess it was kinda funny.. though it still really hurt!"

Frauke came over and patted my shoulder sympathetically. "It's alright.. they're just mean."

I giggled quietly in agreement, my smile from before making its second appearance. "Yeah, true."

Floof and Ryan pouted at the pair of us, arms folded.

I poked my tongue out at Floof before I headed into the kitchen, my mind set on grabbing a monster energy rather than socialisation - I've been like this since I started college, so they never really had a problem with it.

- : ( Timeskip: an hour or so later ) : -

I was sat at the kitchen table, scrolling through my Instagram feed and minding my own business as Floof came in. He looked at me for a few moments before he came over and sat in the seat opposite.

"Did you invite Issabelle?" He raised an eyebrow, his usual cheeky smirk curling onto his lips at his choice of name for our friend we had in common: Ingrid.

I nod slowly, rubbing the back of my neck with my left hand as I put my phone down with my right. "Yeah! She said she'd arrive in a couple months as she's still getting her stuff sorted out at home."

He returned the nod, smirk widening into a smile. "Good, it'll be nice to see her.. and the rest of the group, of course."

I wriggled my eyebrows. "Do you have a crush on Issa?"

He coughed quietly, eyebrows lowering as he shook his head. "Issabelle is like a sister to me.. just like you and Frauke."

I pouted. "Darn.. you two would've been cute together."

He snorted loudly as he leaned back in his seat, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, alright.. sure."

I could tell he was being sarcastic, but I'm still shipping them regardless.
