Jane was excited. Her best friend was moving in with her! She’d tidied up her stuff as best she could and emptied the boxes of random stuff from the spare room. Truth be told, she needed a reason to unpack them but she kept putting it off. Now she sat perched on her desk chair playing Candy Crush on the computer while she waited for Darcy to buzz up from the front door.
Darcy was really bad luck. She didn’t know why Jane wanted her to stay over, when it was clear that she was going to bring nothing but misery. Still it was better than sitting in her car. And maybe now she wouldn’t have more fights with Loki. At least for now. She grabbed a couple of boxes and buzzed the comm. Hopefully she wouldn’t drop anything.
Jane grinned when she heard the buzzer, closed her game down and headed for the door. "Who goes there?" she asked into the intercom, grin still intact.
“Oh come on.. I have my hands full and I can barely push the button,” Darcy grumbled. “Please let me in before I break something.”
Jane laughed and buzzed her up, opening the door for Darcy to just walk in when she got up the stairs. When Darcy appeared at the door, she took the box from her friend’s arms to put on the chair behind her and enveloped her in an enthusiastic hug. “Welcome to your new home!”
Thank goodness. Darcy barrelled through the door with her hands full, and happily let Jane take one. “Thank you.. I thought I might die if you hadn’t let me in.” Or she would have cried. Both maybe. She hugged her friend back just as soon as she was clear of boxes. “And thank you for having me. I hope you won't regret it.”
"Why would I regret living with my best friend?!" Jane asked, rhetorically from her point of view. "This is going to be great!" she grinned and made her way over to the fridge. "And you know what I have to make it even better?" She opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine.
“Because I am bad luck. You’ll see eventually.” Darcy smirked a little and then put her box into her room. “Ah wine. That will make moving all these damn boxes so much easier. Give me all the wine.”
“Now now,” Jane laughed as she grabbed two glasses from the cupboard. “First rule of living here: share the wine! Or buy double the amount,” she winked. “And no more talking of being bad luck, not under this roof,” Jane smiled, pouring out the wine in the two glasses.
“I’m pretty sure that when I got to the store, I will buy a bottle for each of us.” Just to be fair. Darcy liked to share after all. “Oh but I am. Just you wait. But fine, I won’t say another word.” She zipped her lips.
“Good,” Jane nodded decisively and handed her a glass, picking up her own to raise it in a toast. “To good luck and best friends!”
Taking the glass of wine, she let out a “Cheers!” in toast and then took a really long sip. “So any.. uh rules I need to know about?”
Jane smiled before taking a drink. “Don’t think so, only thing I ask is that you bring enough wine for two,” she told her with a grin. “Pitch in with cleaning, bills and food and we’ll be ok,” she shoulder bumped Darcy. “Oo, and I’ve also got some work going on on the roof, equipment being installed for my college work, but it shouldn’t be a problem,” she told her, sipping her wine again.
“I will always bring lots of wine for two or more or whatever.” Darcy nodded a bit. “I’m good with that. If you want to divide up responsibilities, that’s cool. Whatever’s easiest.” Some people were just cleaning with whatever, and some were into schedules. “Gotcha. Satellite dishes and stuff? Cool. No problem.”
“”Good good, I can see this is going to work well,” Jane laughed and sipped her wine. “Nah, just keep it clean and stuff really, occasionally run the vacuum around, put the dishwasher on when it’s full that sort of thing,” she told her. She was trying to be laid back about the whole arrangement, she wanted Darcy to feel like this was her home and not someone else’s place she’d moved into. “Kind of, monitoring equipment, telescopes that sort of thing,” she told her. “There may occasionally be a guy called John Connor popping in to work on it, but he seems cool,” she smiled.
“Cool, I can do all of that. Nice and clean. You won’t have to bitch at me or anything.” Darcy wasn’t exactly the messiest person, but she wasn’t the cleanest either. Average. And good about cleaning up after herself or whatever. Thankfully she wasn’t a clean freak. “Oh okay. Well I won’t mind. I have earmuffs. Gotcha. I won’t taze him if he shows up.”
“Thanks, I’d appreciate that,” Jane laughed. “And I’m sure he will too,” she winked, clinking their glasses together before drinking again.
“I don’t just taze then ask questions. Sometimes I do the opposite. Just y’know.. tell him not to come when I’m not expecting him. Or at least knock.” That would make sure he didn’t get tazed. Darcy had a trigger finger.
Jane chuckled. Yeah...this was going to be great!
