Struggling || Murphamy & Jonty AU [ON HOLD]

C H A P T E R ~ S E V E N T E E N

Jasper, Monty, Murphy, and Bellamy were currently sitting in Bellamy's living room, each of them on their own laptop.

A couple days ago, after Bellamy had the brilliant idea of all of them moving in together, they've been searching for houses non-stop.

"Guys, take a look at this one." Murphy spoke up, turning his laptop for the other boys to see. "Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and even a finished basement."

"How much?" Monty asked, scrolling through the pictures. "$275,000." Murphy replied, turning the screen back to himself.

"That little for a four bedroom house?" Bellamy asked in disbelief. "Well, it's not exactly in the best neighbourhood," Murphy trailed off before Monty spoke up.

"Oh hell no, I'm it raising my little babies in some shitty neighbourhood with crackheads and prostitutes." Monty huffed, crossing his arms.

"I agree, I don't want Addy being around people like that." Bellamy agreed, nodding his head. "Fine, I'll keep looking." Murphy sighed.

After another hour Bellamy finally got up. "I need to go pick up Addy from school. I'll pick up a pizza too." He said, giving Murphy a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll be back in like, forty minutes." He added, grabbing his keys before walking out the front door.

The three other boys say in silence, just browsing multiple websites with houses for sale. "Holy fuck," Jasper gasped, jumping off of the couch and hurrying over to Murphy and Monty.

"Look, it's perfect. Five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a fenced in yard. The seller says they're willing to lower the price to students." Jasper grinned, showing them the pictures.

"And they're probably gonna lower the fuck out of the price when they see we're three students and a single dad with a six year old." He added, his grin growing.

"How much is it now?" Murphy asked. "270,000." Jasper replied. "Damn, that's pretty good. And look, it's close to the subway station we use to go to school." Monty said, pointing to the description of the house.

"Let's put in an offer," Jasper said, starting to text the number on the website. "Wait, let's wait until Bellamy comes back." Murphy said, not wanting to leave his boyfriend out of this.

"Okay, fine." Jasper sighed, closing his laptop and leaning back against the couch. "Let's watch a movie until he comes back." Monty suggested, getting up and waddling to Bellamy's movie collection.

He picked out The Little Mermaid, putting it in to the Xbox before waddling back to the couch. "You look like a penguin when you walk," Murphy giggled, earning a pillow to the face.

"Shut the fuck up slut," Monty muttered, sitting down and cuddling into Jasper's side. Jasper turned to whisper into Murphy, "Sorry, he's been really moody lately." He chuckled lightly.

Murphy just shrugged it off, not bothered by the outburst. He cuddled into a pillow, wishing that Bellamy would hurry up with that pizza.

"Wow, it's really nice." Bellamy said as he looked at the pictures of the house Jasper found earlier. "Right? We should put an offer in now, before someone else does." Jasper said, taking a bite of his pizza slice.

Bellamy nodded, pulling out his phone. He sent the seller a text, asking if they could have a tour of the place. Not even five minutes later he got a reply.

"They said we could come tomorrow. I'm not working then, and Addy will be in school, so I can drive us." The other boys shook their heads. "Okay, how about at eleven, then we can go out for lunch." Jasper suggested.
