You were new in Moominland and were just now setting up your furniture. This needed to be done before you unpacked everything else.
"Okay, let us get going.."
You say this to yourself as you tie an apron on over your (F/C) dress and set to piecing things together. Most everything was disassembled for the voyage over.
An hour or so in and the table is hardly together. You hear a knock at the door where you open to find two girls.
"Hello and welcome to the valley."
The taller one greets and curtsies while the smaller one introduces them.
"This in Mymble, my sister and i'm Little My."
You nod then introduce yourself with a wide smile replacing your exasperation.
"I-I'm (Y/N). It's nice to see i have neighbors here."
You allow them in and they take in the furniture all over the place.
"Would you like some help (Y/N)? We would be happy to."
Already you were back on the floor putting the last legs on the kitchen table and trying to right it.
"Yes i would very much appreciate that!"
The two girls help piece together all that was dismantled and begin to push them where they think is best. My runs into the other room to call you into the main room.
"We finished placing the furniture in this room!"
When you come in Mymble in seated with a proud expression but somethings wrong.
"No this isn't how it goes."
My stands on the table with her arms crossed and looks around like you may be blind.
"We have done it and it looks nice."
You begin to pus the table while shes on it and shake your head.
"Yes but its wrong. It goes like this."
Once the table is righted you go to move the sofa to another end of the room along with the clock. The girls stand back and watch to see how you put it. Once you finish you march off to the next room and begin pushing furniture to how you like it while they try at one of the bedrooms.
Its a similar story for the other room they 'perfectly placed' the furniture. Its late in the day now and its rather hot out. The heat is what pushes you nearly off the edge.
"No no.."
You go to sit in the porch and hold onto the banister. It looks as if you could cry.
"(Y/N) whats wrong? Did we do something wrong?"
Without looking their way you nod a big yes and continue to focus on the breeze in the tall grass.
"I'm sorry.. What can i do to fix it?"
It take a moment for you to reply, when you do its mostly mumbled. You explain how you are rather particular about how things should be and how if they cant do it right they should just leave. My immediately gets into her little defensive stance.
"Well why don't you show us??"
Mymble leads you back into the bedroom and they ask specifically where you want everything and don't let you work too much.
"Please don't push much of the furniture, we have got it for you. Today must have been stressful."
Soon the house looks perfect inside and you all sit on the porch with some fresh fruit that was chilled in the stream.
"Thank you two. I really appreciate your help today.. Sorry i got so worked up its just i'm.. i'm particular."
"Oh (Y/N) its okay, we got it done in the end right?"
You nod in agreeance to My and take another bite, letting the juice drip onto your now dusty apron. Mymble dipped the end of her apron in the stream to wipe her hands and clean up My who got sticky from the fruit.
"Would you be alright if i were to get the juice off your face and hands for you too?"
Despite Mymble only taking care of her siblings she was a bit motherly and had the instinct to take care of you as she does her sister My. You nod and she gently wipes the juice from your chin and gives you a little forehead kiss when shes finished. This was most likely part of her motherly actions but you still blushed a little.
"Thank you Mymble and Little My. I appreciate having such nice, understanding and helpful neighbors. I hope you can come back once i have finished unpacking for lunch or tea."
You waved until they were out of sight and ran through the house, enjoying your new home.
