STARS POV
"Wanna go out?" My eyes got wide with confusion.
"What do you mean?" I crossed my arms and legs to lean against the door
"There is a carnival tonight. It'll give us a chance to do some roomate bonding."
"Sure sounds fun." I walked into the livingroom to distract my mind with Grimm to get anxiety to calm down.
Later during the day she started moving stuff in. At first it was small stuff. I decided to put atlas in my room for the time being so he didnt try to escape down the hall. I walked out to the balcony for a smoke when I saw her downstairs struggling to move a dresser out of a moving truck. By the time I got down there to ask if she wanted help she had a tool bag and was taking each individual panel of the dresser apart.
"Need some help?" I asked confused as to why she didn't just ask for my help brining it up instead of taking it apart.
"Yea actually could you help me bring the dresser peices up?" I looked at her then at the peices of the dresser then back to her.
"Uhh.. yea.. yea I can do that." I started picking up the panels of the dresser and lugging them into her room. I decided to keep helping her bring her stuff in. A gaming chair, a desk that she also decided to just take apart, a bean bag, a bed frame, computers, etc. I could tell she was a gamer, the neon game controler sign made that very clear. After moving all of her stuff in she shut her door and I could hear a drill signaling she was putting her dresser or her desk back togeather. I can already tell she's stubborn and doesn't like asking for help but if it's offered she'll take it.
About 2 hours later it was carnival time. I decided to wear a black ripped knitted sweater and black skinny jeans with my neon green and black converse. She had on ripped skinny jeans with red and black converse and her misfits shirt. In an odd sense we matched. I wanted to tell her she looked beautiful but that would've been weird.
"Your car or mine?" She asked
"Mine." We went over to the apartment's garage parking and I opened the garage and we got inside my car.
"Supernatural fan?" She said refering to my 1960's black Chevy impala but with cobalt blue interior.
"Absolutely. "
When we got to the carnival my ADD was everywhere.
"You okay?"
"Yea, my crow brain go burr." I stoped dead in my tracks realizing how insane that sounded to anyone who didn't really know me.
"Shinnies got you distracted?" She laughed a bit. I blinked a few times at her understanding of it.
"Uh..yea.. sorry my ADD kinda had me wanting to go everywhere but no where at the same time."
"How about we go do rides first then eat then do games."
"Sounds good to me."
We went on ride after ride and just talked about ourselves more in depth.
"So you're the 2nd older sibling of how many?" I questioned not believing her fully. She laughed and covered her mouth.
"12 kids."
"I cant even imagine how wild that would be. I was always seen as the trouble maker between me and my foster brother."
"So was it always just you two?"
"Not in the beginning. I went through a few homes before I got adopted. Some of them had 3 kids some of them would have 10, alot of times It was just me alone."
"Sounds rough . So the people that adopted you how were they?"
"They were gone alot. They were rich though so they were always off somewhere new.. just without me and Silas."
"Silas? Is that your brother's name?"
"Yea.. have I not mentioned that before?" She shook her head no "my bad. I'm not really used to divulging information about myself to people."
"Not a people person?"
"My job requires us not to talk about personal Information."
"So a nightclub that's a secret and doesn't let you give out personal informarion? Sounds kinda shady to me." I took a deep breath feeling like I was causing her anxiety.
"Sorry it's not a dangerous job, it just protects us from people figuring out where we live by means of searching us up online."
"Are you like a dancer? don't get me wrong I have no issues with that at all infact I think that's pretty cool"
"I mean sometimes, but also sometimes I'm a shot boy, a bartender, and a um.... talker..?"
"A talker?"
"Yea.. like sometimes I just keep guests company... and... talk?" I kinda leaned forward with my head understanding how weird that sounds. "Anyways let's go get food and then play games." I walked infront of her in a slight rush to the blooming onion stand and ordered that plus a giant lemonade.
"Alright Alright, I get it..."She leaned over playfully nudging my shoulder "Mr. Mystery" She hurriedly walked over to a Philly steak stand and got that plus a strawberry monster.
After eating We both found an interest in this one axe throwing Table that was pushed away from other booths for safety. We walked up to it and they had a few different items to throw besides an axe. She stared at them in awe.
"$10 for either 2 throwing stars, 2 butterfly knives, 2 daggers, or $20 for an axe. Sign this waiver and all set to go! Step right up step right up!" The booth guy was yelling. I looked over at her and she was staring down this sylveon plush the guy had on a prize wall.
"Wanna go for it?" I asked her
"Yes!" She grabbed the axe as her choice of weapon.
"Big brute are ya?" I laughed a bit
"Nah axes just make me feel like marceline the vampire queen."
"Oh nice." She got on a marker and took her shot at throwing the axe. She almost made it.
"Fuck.." She crossed her arms "well your turn I guess."
I pressed my fingers against the cold metal choosing the butterfly knives.
"Well now be careful kid, I know you signed a waiver but those are very-" I flipped the butterfly knife over and over in my hands and quickly making them both sore past the marker and right on the center ring of the board.
"I believe that's a double bullseye."
The carnival guy just stared at me for a second.
"Ya know these are illegal correct?"
"What are you a cop? I got a license for them. As long as I keep them dull enough I can have them."
"Hmm" I crooked smiled for like 2 seconds.
"What Prize do you want?"
"Sylveon." I said The guy reluctantly got sylveon down.
I handed it to Bellatrix and she blinked her eyes at me
"I saw you looking at it and besides I'm not much of a stuffy person. I wouldn't even know what to do with it."
"Thanks!" She squeezed sylveon and the smile on her face was easing my nerves.
BELLATRIXS POV
After astaroth handed me the sylveon plushy I was so happy. And the fact that he knew what sylveon was told me that this was going to be a great friendship.
We played games at a few more booths before going back to rides. We headed towards a ride called "flame thrower tower." basically you sit in a 4 person cart that's on Rollercoaster tracks that goes up and there's flames that come out at random but somehow the pyrotechnics of it don't actually burn. You can put your hand into the flames and be fine.
We got seated in the cart and waited for 2 other people to come sit. I saw my ex and the girl he left me for waiting to be seated.
"Shit, I can't be here." I started unbuckling the safety belt.
"Wait, What's wrong?" I looked at astaroths face and sat back down.
"My ex is Here... i was with him for 3 years.. even got engaged to him about 5 months ago... he broke it off literally two weeks after proposing.. I just don't think I can do this right now. I finally got my life back together." The carnie motioned to my ex and his girlfriend to get into the cart with us. I could see his face turn white when he noticed me. They both got seated.
"Hey I'm astaroth this is my girlfriend Bellatrix." My voice was caught in my throat I couldn't speak a word.
"Its nice to meet you I'm Becky and this is my boyfriend Damien." I managed to fake a small smile. I didn't realize I was shaking my leg from being anxiety untill I felt astaroths hand on my knee.
"Bellatrix is kind of shy but it's okay because I find it adorable. How long have you you two been together?"
"Oh Damien and I have been together for about a year." I froze not realizing he cheated me. It just made everything worse.
"Oh wow that's interesting. I met Bellatrix after some dipshit-" astaroths voice changed speaking with venom in his words now that grabbed my attention I looked up at him and saw him with locked eye contact glaring daggers at Damien and I couldn't look away. "-left her for some cheap wannabe princess type, 2 weeks after he proposed to her. Oh and get this she recently found out that jackass also cheated on her with the girl for the last like 6 months of their relationship."
"Oh my gosh that's for real the most douchebag thing I can imagine. I'm so sorry that happened to you." Becky must not have known about me either.
"Yea I'm sorry that's really shitty." Damiens voice broke me out of my staring at astaroth. Damien went to pat my shoulder but astroth grabbed his wrist seemingly out of thin air.
"You don't get to touch her Damien. Not after the wreck you made her when you left." Astaroths eyes met mine and looked me up and down. "She's mine now-" he put his attention back to Damien "and you'll never have the chance to feel her love again." He got up and reached over me unbuckling the safety belt he held out his hand.
"Care to get out of here love?" I looked into his eyes then at the hand he had outstreatched towards me and I took it and we walked out of that carnival.
When we got back to the apartment I decided to take a shower with music. When I came out I was planning to order food especially since whatever he made while I was showering smelled so yummy.
"Hey I made dinner if you're hungry. I don't know what kinda food you're into but there's plenty left."
"Are you sure?" I was hesitant to use any of the food here since I just moved in and haven't paid for anything besides rent.
"Yea, go for it. I have a habit of making meals for more than just myself. If I try to make food for just one person it usually ends up feeding about 2."
"Habit from never living alone?" I questioned wondering more about his
Personal life.
"Probably.... I never really thought about it much before if I'm being honest." I walked over to the kicthen to find steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans made and plated as if by a restaurant. I looked around and saw dishes in the sink that showed he definitely cooked.
"Plates are in the cupboard above the stove. There is also wine if you want some or alcohol in general in the kitchen island and Glasses are above the sink."
I took him up on the offer for wine and food. As I sat down to eat I couldn't help myself but stare at him. Rembering the way he talked made my skin crawl in a good way. The venom in his voice was extremely attractive and thinking about the way he looked at me and said 'she's mine now' made me weak. Oh no eat the horny away. You can't fall for your roomate... especially not one you just met.
"Thanks for earlier by the way."
"Oh yea no problem, acting is a skill I picked up because of my job."
"Oh cool." I sounded more dissapointed than I anticipated... acting.. just acting... after eating I decided to head to bed.
