Open your eyes (A Sjips Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

~Sips' Pov~

"What do you think the neighbors are like?" Carlada asks.

"Well hopefully they're nice." She sighs and I chuckle. "They won't be evil pychopaths or anything. You need to get what Lucy said out of your head." She shakes her head.

"I suppose your right. She's always been a bit of a conspiracy theorist." I look over to her for a moment and she gives me a kind smile before I look back to the road.

"She should write a book. Put all her strange conspiracies in there. I bet everyone who believes in Bigfoot would buy it." "Hey," Carlada interjects. "Bigfoot totally exists, don't you- joke.. abou-t that.." But she just desolves into giggles.

We pull into the Maddox Estates, our new neighborhood area. It looks like a great place to live, and hey, maybe even start a family. Every house looks different, so no cookie cutter copys, which is nice diversity. Each house has a white picket fence, which is great for pets. It almost looks too friendly, like some strange Desperate Housewives neighborhood, with someone who got murdered or whatever.

"What's our estate number?" I ask Carlada. She looks down at the paperwork. "Number 58." She says. "64, 63, 62, 61, 60, 59.." I count down. "Oh Chris look, a few of our neighbors brought us a, ton of balloons..?" She says questioning her own words. She was right, a giant colorful assortment of balloons was in our new drive way.

"Our whole house is going to be covered in balloons.." I smirk at my wife and she roles her eyes. "Chris, please no." I laugh it off though as I carefully pull into the driveway.

I stop the car and both of us get out. "Welcome to the neighborhood!" Two voices shout together. I jump back a little in surprise. Two people emerge from the balloon wall with giant smiles on their faces. And my jaw drops at who it is.

"Paul?" The man's eyes snap open and stare at me. "Chris?" Oh, my god..

"Sjin!" I run up and give the shorter man a hug. "Sips!" He says hugging me back almost immediately. "It's so good to see you again." I say as we pull back. "Sips it's so great to finally meet you." The shorter girl next to Sjin says.

"You must be Erin, the girlfriend. Nice to meet you." I give her a small hug as well.

"Um, Chris, sweetheart, why are you hugging the neighbors?" Carlada ask. I step to the side throwing my arm around Sjin's shoulder. "Carlada, meet my best friend Sjin and his girlfriend Erin. You guys this is my darling wife, Carlada."

Sjin sticks out his hand for her to shake. She takes it hesitantly. "It's great to meet you, Carlada." "You too, Si- Shi- Sin-" "Call me Paul." Sjin says sticking his hand back into his pocket. "Paul." She nods smiling. "And I'm, uh, E-Erin." Erin sputters giving a little wave.

"Nice to met you Erin." Carlada smiles. "So Sips, would you like Erin and I to help with the unpacking?" Sjin asks.

"Yeah, uh, we could help bring all the boxes in and get stuff set up the way you'd like." Erin offers.

"Really, wow. Thanks you two, we would really appreciate it." I say. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going." Sjin cheers.

We opened up the back of the truck and pulled down the ramp pulling out all the labeled boxes and totes and taking them to the rooms in which the items would stay. While Erin and Carlada unpacked the whole kitchen, Sjin and I got a bit of alone time to move big pieces of furniture into the living room and bedroom.

"Wait you broke up with Erin?" I question as Sjin and I lift the couch up and out of the moving van into the house. "Well no, it was really more of a mutual break up." Sjin says.

"But I thought you two were great together, what happened?" Sjin sighs. "Well you see it- Wait watch your step coming inside the doorway." We set the couch down in the living room before speaking again. "It turns out that Erin is actually gay. But I'm totally okay with it."

"Gay?" I question.

"I know right, I didn't see that coming at all." He giggles.

"But you're okay with all of this, and she still lives with you?"

"Oh, of course I'm okay with it. Listen Sips, she's an awesome person, and I honestly love her to bits. But it's always kinda been in a friend way. She's great to have around the house, and besides she said that as soon as she finds a partner she'll be moving out. So for right now, we're good friends/roommates." He finishes as we reach the moving truck again.

We pick up a chair for the living room, one each. Carrying them in I let out a chuckle. "What?" Sjin questions. "You're really single?" "Yes. Why?" Sjin questions.

"Cause it's my duty as a best friend, to get you another girl." He giggles. "Really? Is it really your duty, to get me another girl?" He asks as we set down the chairs. "Yes Sjin, it is my duty. Now tell me, you have your eyes on anyone in paticular?"

He hums, thinking for a moment. "There is this one person.." "Great, tell me about them." Sjin smiles.

"Well, they have short black hair. But you hardly ever see it because of the baseball caps." He starts, tracing the rim of my hat with his fingers. "Bright blue eyes, and pale skin. An impeccable taste in clothing, you know, sweatshirts and skinny jeans." He says tugging on my sweatshirt. "And a bit of stubble on there face that needs a good grooming." He runs his hand along my jawline. Leaning in close to my ear, he whispers. "Oh, and they just moved in next door."

I shiver involuntary as he pulls back. "Is it me?" I question, completely aware of his joke. He giggles again. "Maybe." Turning away from me, he heads back outside. I follow him out, catching up quickly, I decided to have some fun. I wrap my arms around his waist from behind and pull him close. "Sips what are you doing?" He questions.

"Isn't this what you want, Sjin?" I purr into his ear. He chuckles before pulling away from me. Rolling his eyes he grabs my hand and starts to drag me outside. "Come on you big dork, we'll bang later. Let's get you unpacked."

A/N: Gah! I'm sorry, but honestly I can't put Sips and Sjin together, let alone in person, with out some sort of flirtation. Weather it be this friendly joking or not, I just can't. I'm the Sjips Queen for god sakes! Also this is Sips and Sjin, they do this irl. XP On a different note, I bet no one can guess what's going to happen next. Well not next, but soon.. Okay bai.
