13th of november, friday 2015 ( 8 days have passed since last chapter)

"did you finish all of the red popcorn the other night? we've still got two episodes to go and i can't bare normal popcorn for the life of me."  lisa groans, switching her position on the couch, staring at jennie.

the brunette rolls her eyes. "it's just normal popcorn dyed red lali." she explains, sighing heavily.

"it's literally flavoured with red 40." she adds, looking over at the blonde, who's pouting annoyingly.

"stop making that face."

lisa grins, looking back at the tv.

nothing's changed much in between the two girls since they fought. they never explicitly said they were going to be friends again, yet it just happened.

every night they argue about who should take the first shower, who did more physical work that day. every morning lisa wakes jennie up with a whisper, then a touch, then a hug. every training session lisa shared her towel with jennie because she always forgets. every evening jennie takes precious time to rewatch stranger things just so lisa can watch it for the first time.

there's an unspoken routine, something they've started to fall into without noticing.

even the space between them on the couch lessens each night.

jennie sighs contentedly when she realises she's broken through the blonde girl, who is now sitting 20 centimetres away from her. she doesn't know why it matters, but she feels proud, maybe.

"everything okay?" the younger girl asks quietly, looking up at the brunette.

jennie smiles at her. "i'm fine, silly. watch the episode."

"oh i'm silly?" lisa says suddenly, sitting up and giving jennie a faux death stare before settling back down, even closer to the brunette than before.

"have you met yourself? you are the silliest person i've ever met." jennie jokes, looking down at the blonde, who scoffs in ridicule, staring back at the tv.

"oh shut up. we never get any watching done, we just argue the whole time." lisa states, rubbing her eyes.

jennie hums in agreement. her hands have suddenly turned cold, just like they did the day she met lisa.

she scoffs internally at the thought.

"tired?"

"the tinsiest smallest most minuscule little bit. yes." lisa replies reluctantly, letting out a long sigh.

"do you wanna go to bed?"

"maybe. but i wanna finish this episode."

"just sleep on the couch, it's only got 20 minutes left, just finish it while you're dozing off." jennie suggests, picking up a pillow from her side and tucking it under lisa's head.

"thankyouuuu."

"that's alrighttttt."

"oi, wake up. we've been doing this for like two weeks and you're still not used to it." i hear a voice whisper in my ear, and a gentle rubbing on my shoulder.

"mhmmmm." i grumble, turning away from lisa. she chuckles quietly.

"nuh uh. not happening." she scolds me, and i can feel her sit on my bed, wrapping her arms around my waist.
