A Lighter and a Flashlight

Roomates

Third Person POV

It was the two week anniversary of Six and Seven becoming roommates.

Their weeks had went by mostly uneventful.  This is the basic stuff that happened.

Day One: Visit from Roger (Lots of food and toiletries delivered)

     Seven had just got back from using the makeshift 'bathroom' only to see the Janitor had arrived.

"Hi Roger!" he could hear Six's giddy voice from around the corner, "Are y'here for a visit?"

The Janitor gave a hearty chuckle, "Why hello there Six," he blindly picked her up, gently swinging her in the air, "nice to see you again."  (see what I did there?)

Six giggled and when she was placed back on the ground she gave his leg a huge hug.

Seven however, didn't move from his spot, he sat there, puzzled.

"Your real name is Roger?!"

Day Three: Seven learns about hygiene 

     Seven was once again returning from the bathroom when he saw something strange.  Six was doing something to her hair.  She had a foreign contraption in her hand that she ran through her hair, detangling it.

"What's that?" Six turned her head in his direction.

"It's a hairbrush," Six tilted her head to the side in a way that made Seven's heart pick up, "have you never used one before?"

Seven bashfully scratched the back of his head, "N-no..."

Six only smiled at him, "C'mere then!  I'll show you how!"

Seven sat next to Six, only to have her move behind him, "Where are you going?"

"Hold still ok?" He could hear her shuffling around on the blankets behind him, "It might hurt a little at first, but that's only because you haven't done this before."

'What is that supposed to mean?'

It didn't hurt just a little.

But, he persevered, and kept calm, and it eventually stopped hurting.  He really liked how Six's hands gently worked with his hair, it was comforting.

He liked it.

This became one of their daily rituals.

Day Nine: More nightmares

     They had fallen asleep, just like any other night.  They had stayed up late reading together, taking turns on different chapters; voicing the characters.  When it had been declared bedtime, they had gotten comfortable, falling asleep quickly.  Seven clung tightly to Six's waist, burying his face in her hair.  Six held one of his hands.

It was honestly too adorable.

Unfortunately the Lady had to disturb their peaceful slumber.

They spent that night exploring the Depths of the Maw, eventually both waking up traumatized when Seven had been pulled underwater.

After a long session of crying and heart-pounding memories, they went back to sleep, only to sleep in the next morning.

Day Thirteen: Six and Seven become Nome royalty.

     Seven had always been excellent friends with Nomes.  They had always gotten along well.  So when they had arrived one day, looking for residence in their room, Seven and Six had heartily accepted them.
