"Why can't you ever just admit that you're wrong?!"
"Because I'm not fucking wrong! You are!"
"I'm sick of your constant nagging! Shut up already!"
"Don't talk to me like that!"
You sighed as your parents relentlessly argued like usual, rubbing your dog's tummy gently. Another day in the L/N family, another drama. Your parents did not stop fighting, even when moving into a new house. You stood up, stretching and yawning as Creampuff excitedly circled around your legs.
"Time to unpack, Creampuff. Let's go."
You trudged over to your room, Creampuff trailing you as you walked inside. You shut the door behind you, muffling your parents' yelling. Your eyes wandered around the empty room, taking in all the details. Boxes littered the small, cozy room, pushed up against the walls and scattered randomly across the wooden floorboards. Pale pink wallpaper covered the walls surrounding you, small rabbits patterned on it. You smiled softly, walking over to a box and opening it up.
"Arf!"
You turned to see Creampuff wagging her tail, excitedly circling a giant box labeled 'Y/N's Treasure Box'. You giggled as the small, chubby corgi nudged it with her nose.
"You want me to open that? Those are all my old toys, silly."
Creampuff whined, urging you to open the box.
"Alright, alright." You laughed, walking over to the box and sitting down in front of it. Creampuff barked happily, her tail wagging vigorously back and forth as you tore off the packing tape. You opened the box and peeked inside, E/C eyes sparkling with child-like wonder. You gasped as you pulled out a large, light pink teddy bear, a smile growing on your face.
"Maggie! I haven't seen her in years!"
Creampuff playfully nipped at the bear, making you giggle and pull it away from her. "Careful! That's my other baby!"
"Y/N!" Your mother roared from the other side of the door, making you flinch.
"Uh, yeah?"
"Don't 'uh, yeah' me, get out here!"
"Sorry." You mumbled, getting up from the floor and trudging over to the door. You opened it up, solemnly walking out into your new living room. Your mother scowled at you, crossing her arms as you stood in front of her.
"Didn't we tell you to come help us unpack?"
"I-I was unpacking my stuff since you guys were...busy..."
"But that's not what I told you to fucking do."
"I'm sorry, mom."
"Sorry? Instead of apologizing don't fuck up anymore!"
"If you would have listened to us you wouldn't be getting scolded right now." Your father chimed in as he placed a box down on the ground. Your eyes flickered to him and you frowned, feeling even more upset than before.
This was a constant cycle in your household. Your parents would argue, then lash out at you, then pretend like nothing ever happened in the first place.
And you hated it.
"What's that in your hands?" Your mother said, eyeing the pink teddy bear that you were holding. You paled and looked down at the ground, squeezing it to your chest tightly.
"I-it's, uh, it's Maggie."
"Put that thing away. It's obviously distracting you from what you need to do." Your mother sighed, waving a hand in the air dismissively. Your frown deepened, H/C hair hanging over your face as you stared down at the ground. "And stop slouching. Your posture is terrible."
"Yes, mom." You sighed, turning around and starting to trudge back over to your room.
"You mean 'yes ma'am'!" Your father called out, making you silently groan in frustration.
"Yes, ma'am!"
You shut the door behind you, clenching your jaw as you slid down onto the ground. You buried your face into the top of Maggie's head, your groans muffled by the soft toy. Creampuff pattered over to you, nuzzling your thigh with her snout. You lifted your head up, staring softly at the small dog. Creampuff stared back at you, licking your hand affectionately. Your heart melted at the gesture and you felt tears prick your eyes as you hugged her gently.
"Oh, Cream. What would I do without you?"
