the roommate contract - todomomo

three \\ "the roommate contract" pt. 2

"Okay, fine." Shouto watched as Momo released the breath she didn't know she'd been holding and smiled genuinely before he turned away stubbornly, refusing to look at her annoyingly pretty face because that annoyingly pretty face was forcing him to have rules in his own apartment and he couldn't even protest.

"Great! So, I'll go first," Normally, Momo would've politely offered that one of them go first, but there was no way in hell that she was giving them a chance to put some weird shit in place and force her to comply with it. Ideally, she would've banned Shouto from having sex in the apartment becuase it was ruining her sleep schedule. But, it was technically also his apartment, so she couldn't do that. There were a lot of things hse couldn't do that she wanted to. So, she just settled on, "My rule is that we make a shower schedule sometime in the future and you will abide by that schedule if it kills you. I have early-morning classes because I decided to torture myself so I need to be ready for those."

"Hold on, a shower schedule?" Shouto and Denki said in unison. Both were clearly not in favor of the idea, but for two different reasons entirely.

"What you expect me to plan when I piss now too?" Shouto glared at her, his coffe now long forgotten and losing heat as he mulled over the prospect of having to take a shower at the same time every day. At that point, he wasn't even living in his own house!

"What if I go last and there's no hot water?" Denki piped up in a childish voice, causing Momo to sigh in frustration. She knew this was going to happen which is why she wanted to get it out of the way first.

"There's never any hot water in this place, Denki," Izuku spoke the truth, his voice dripping with sleep deprivation, his blood-shot eyes begging Momo to end their bickering before it made his head explode. College was no easy task, especially when you were running on four hours of sleep and a bottle of canola oil.

"Okay, can we please just accept that you guys agreed to this contract and that's my rule. You'll each get to make your own," Momo rubbed her temples and raised an eyebrow at the two boys who were still bickering at her, waiting for their ruckus to die down so she could get in a word. When they finally did shut up, it was Denki who spoke first and said,

"Fine, but I'm making my rule next." Momo just nodded in agreement. She didn't care about the order, she just wanted to establish some sense of structure in this apartment that was practically held together at the seams by duct tape. When the blond got the go-ahead from the raven-haired girl, he declared his rule. "My rule is that you better LABEL your DAMN LEFTOVERS or they WILL get eaten," He was looking at Shouto the entire time who looked at his blond friend with a deep scowl etched onto his admittedly handsome features.

"I labeled that lasagna. I know I did, I remember making the sticky note," This felt like a long-standing argument from a time before Momo's arrival at the pit of chaos that could also be known as a loft apartment in LA and, to say the least, she was going to need something a little stronger than tea if she was going to make it through this whole thing. So, she poured herself a cup of coffee before downing half of it despite not particularly liking its bitter taste.

"Oh, you mean the sticky not that you put beside it? Dude, it was right in between the lasagna and the mayonnaise. How was I supposed to know that you didn't lay claim to the mayonnaise instead?" Denki sneered at his dual-haired roommate and Shouto furrowed his eyebrows at him in utter confusion the bordered on anger as he turned his attention away from Momo and to his idiot of a friend.

"Why would I lay claim to the mayonnaise? Nobody just fucking eats mayonnaise plain," Shouto was making no effort to control the volume of his voice as this was clearly a very pressing issue. So, Momo and Izuku made no fuss and instead just waited for them to work it out amongst themselves. It was one of the few times that Momo was able to tune out their insanity.
