You heard the loud beeping of your alarm, causing you to groan. You grabbed your phone and tapped the stop button, closing your eyes in annoyance. You didn't want to get up. You wanted nothing more than to just grab your blanket, turn over, and sleep the rest of the day away. Your dog, however, was having none of this.

(D/n) jumped onto your bed and laid her paws on your stomach at the exact angle to make it hurt. You pushed on her, trying to move her, but with how big she was and how tired you were, it was futile in the end. You sat up and glared at her.

"Why do you do this to me (D/n)?" You asked. She barked and you shook your head.

You pulled the blanket off your body and hung your legs over the side of your bed. You stared at the wall for a second before standing and stretching. You pulled your phone off the charger before scrolling through your notifications. From there you opened Twitter and checked to make sure you didn't miss any scandals while you were sleeping. They're an unfortunate thing, and what's even more unfortunate is that they can happen at any moment, with no warning whatsoever. This is precisely why it's imperative to be in the loop on Twitter.

You set your phone down and walked across your room to the boxes that held your clothes in them. You opened the box on top, grabbing the first shirt you saw, not even caring to examine it further. Then you grabbed a pair of jeans and undergarments. You tossed your lazily put-together outfit on your bed and walked into the restroom.

Once you walked in you realized you still didn't have a shower curtain. You groaned and put your face in your hands. I really have to go shopping, you thought. You shut the door and lock it, then walk to the bath. You grasped the faucet and turned it, trying to get it to the right temperature and waiting for it to fill.

Once you were out of the bath and dressed, you walked back into your room and slipped on a pair of socks and sneakers. Today, you were going for the "I really don't give a shit" look, and you were sure everyone else would be able to tell. You grabbed your phone and pulled up google maps, searching for the nearest bank, which only seemed to be a five-minute walk. You sighed and walked out of your bedroom and down the halls, to the door. You could hear (D/n)'s paws clicking after you. Once you opened the door you turned to here.

"I'll be back in a bit, okay. Be good." You said before walking out and locking the door.

You started your small trek down the street, watching your surroundings with great interest. A smile stayed on your face all the while. It only took a bit to reach the bank, and when you did, you walked in and waited. You knew a bank trip would probably take a bit, so you were prepared to stand there for as long as you needed.

You sighed as you walked out of the bank, now thoroughly tired despite only doing a tenth of what you needed to accomplish for the day. You yawned and felt your phone start to ring, so you fished it out of your pocket to answer. The caller ID was a number not saved in your phone. You pressed the green button and held it to your ear.

"Hello?" You asked.

"Hello, is this (Y/n) (L/n)?" The man on the other end asked.

"Speaking." You replied.

"Your car is ready to be picked up, will we be expecting you soon?" He asked.

"Oh yes! I will be there very soon, thank you." You replied before hanging up. Next on the list: car. Then, who knows where I take myself, you thought silently.

You sat in the driver's seat of your new car, intaking the scent that everyone loved. You laid your head on the wheel and sighed. The relief you felt of not having to waste any more money on taxis was cascading upon you. And then your phone rang. You groaned, your moment of silence being interrupted. When you picked it up to check who was calling, your grief turned to happiness. It was your brother, Phil. And of course, you answered.

"Hello?" You asked. You heard mumbled talking and what sounded like struggling before his laugh.

"Hey (Y/n), what are you doing today?" Phil asked. You laughed.

"Errands mostly, why?" You asked.

"Oh? What types of errands?" He replied.

"Shopping for my clinic. I might also stop to get a few things for the house. Again, what's with the interrogation?" You said with a laugh. He laughed in return.

"No reason. Do you need any help, we didn't get to spend much time together last night." He said. You gave a hum in thought.

"Sure, you're welcome to join me if you'd like." You said. You heard more muffled noises before Phil's voice again.

"Yeah, we'd love that actually. Where are you headed to next?" He asked. You looked at your watch.

"Ikea. I'll send you the address. Sound good?" You asked.

"Yep, see you then."

"See you."

You pushed open the doors to the store and checked your phone, seeing Phil's text. By the lamps, his message read. You couldn't help but wonder what he was doing in the lamp aisle. Yet instead of asking you simply shrugged. You walked down the aisles of the unfamiliar place, never having been in an Ikea such as this one. It took you a second before you found the lamp aisle, and when you did, you saw two six feet tall men, wandering aimlessly and looking like lost puppies. You laughed.

"Can I help you with anything gentlemen?" You asked. They turned and Phil gave you a small smile.

"Hey," He said before giving you a quick hug. Dan stared at you for a few seconds before turning away. This didn't go unnoticed by either of you.

"Oh don't mind him, he's grumpy cause I made him get out of the house," Phil said. You gave a small smile before sighing. The looming thought of Phil trying to force Dan to like you plagued your thoughts, but you shook it away. Pushing your thoughts to the back of your mind maybe wasn't the healthiest thing, but it was the best thing you could do in the situation right now. Especially considering the options you were given.

"Shall we?"
