Caiman leaned against Elle's wall, stretching his feet across her bed. She was pacing in front of him, messing up the tasseled rug. She was thinking intensely, an uncommon thing for her. "Okay, so... how do straight people act?" she said, throwing her hands to the side.
Shrugging, Caiman said, "You're asking the wrong person, pal," She glared at him, frustrated, and clenched her fists, before pacing again. "I mean, we don't have to act straight, we just have to act like a couple, right?" Caiman added, attempting to be helpful.
Elle nodded. "Yeah, so I guess we just need to think about what couples do-" she paused, then gagged. "Oh God, do we have to kiss?!"
"No way, and keep it down!" Caiman said, shushing her and pointing to the door. "I don't think I could physically make contact with your lips,"
She side-eyed him. "I couldn't kiss your fish lips either," she sneered. Caiman threw a pillow at her head.
"Kissing you would be a nightmare. How does Whimsy do it sooo muuch?" he groaned.
"Pshh. You're just jealous of us," She dismissed him quickly. "And for you, kissing any woman would be a nightmare."
Caiman shrugged, agreeing. "Fair enough," He frowned and looked at his hands. "If we aren't gonna kiss, how are we gonna look like a couple? Hand holding?"
"That might work, but it's not gonna 'seal the deal',-" Elle used air quotes- "as they say."
Pulling out his phone, Caiman stuck his tongue out a little. "I'll search it up I guess." He quickly typed into google, 'what do couples normally do?' and pressed enter for the result. He read it off in a monotone voice. "They communicate. They grow common interest? Okay... They spend time together, they cuddle huddle? What is a cud- nevermind," He squinted judgmentally. "They hug... and the rest are too couple-y," He glanced up. "What do you think?"
Elle was nodding, having stopped pacing. "Those sound alright. If we're cuddly enough we probably don't have to kiss! Awesome." She gave herself a thumbs up.
Rolling his eyes, Caiman clicked his phone off. "Alright, pet name and info boundaries, go,"
"Babe, honey, beautiful, those are all fine. Info boundaries...?" She paused. "Nothing about bedroom, how we met, first anythings, et cetera." She counted the things off on her fingers, then let Caiman sate his own conditions.
He pouted for a moment. "Um, babe is fine I guess, and no talk about my personal life and my family," he said thoughtfully. Elle gave a grin.
"Cool," She grabbed her backpack and pulled her laptop out. "Let's watch something. Have you finished Jujutsu Kaisen?"
Caiman frowned. "I didn't even start it," he admitted. Elle groaned and flipped open her computer, typing her password in angrily. Caiman watched as she inputted the pass code, MILF88 and click enter. He internally sighed and let her set up her laptop at the end of the bed, before tapping start on the anime. She sat next to Caiman and slipped under the covers.
The opening played as the two got comfortable, while also shoving each other for room.
