And home sweet, small home!" I say opening the door. Riot rushes in and lazily lays down on her bed. "Come'er girl! Let me get that harness off you before you fall asleep," I walk over to and squeeze the buckles and her harness pops off her furry body. She snuggles up in her bed, Mrs. Mo must have tuckered her out. I pat her sleepy head and hang up her harness.
Our place is quite small, I mean most apartments are the size of Everything and Mo. Ours is just a bit smaller thanks to the boiler next store, it's worth it being on the second level. But we, myself and Riot, make it work. the place is rather open besides that bathroom and my room. It's a cheap place too, that's always a bonus. And the landlord is very sweet, she and her wife are always willing to help with apartment work and such. I'm so glad I was able to keep this place on my own for such a long time. We've been here so long I can hardly see us ever moving out.
Not like I have any plans so either. This place is the only place to feel this much like home. I know it's a weird thing to think about, I mean I had the Mo's but it never truly felt like home. It felt like I was crashing at a friend's place. The walls had stories and memories I couldn't understand in them. It's an odd feeling, slowly it did start to feel a bit like home, not in a way this place does but like a second home.
I love having my own place though! It's small and somewhat cluttered but it's more homely than anywhere I've lived. Walls filled with mine and Riot's own stories and memories. After all Riot and I made quite the impression on this little place. Even if we moved the new residents would still be finding red labrador hair for years to come!
My phone starts to ring just as I plop on the couch ready for the next episode of 'Iron Chef ' to premiere. "Hello?!" "Hey, lil bro!!" Junko's voice roars out of my phone speaker no doubt causing damage, she is always rather loud. "You're only older by 3 minutes," "Yeah, but that technically means you're born the day after me " She laughs out. I grew up hearing how funny it is that I was born the day after my twin, I can't help she decided to come out at 12:58 in the morning! "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah you just love saying that don't you." "A lil'! Anyways not why I called. Your cooking tomorrow right?!" "Yup unless you wanna go out. I mean I already got the stuff but going out means I can keep procrastinating cleaning my kitchen." "Yeah, could we? I want to introduce you to my wife! I mean you haven't even met her yet. I need my favorite people to get along!" "Sure just-" "I know I know! Make sure Roit's okay to be there and we can sit outside." "You are the best you know that" "I do! kay see you later bye!" and she hangs. I look at Riot "Well... I guess tomorrow's gonna be busy Riot!"
The next day---
"Bum Ba Bud Bum Bum Bum bu bom!! Wakey Wakey little bro!!" Junko says as she throws my door open like there is a fire. "FUCK! Junko~! You scared me!" I yell covering my lap better. "Hahaha hahaha! That's the point! I wanted to take you out before we meet up with my wife for lunch... Sooooo GET THE FUCK UP!!!" She says pulling off the covers. "The HELL JUNKO!" She starts laughing again as I pull on a pair of sweats from off the floor, "We don't have the same part anymore you can't just do that!" I say laughing. I don't care, I know she means no harm in it shes just tryna brighten my mode. When you only have one person from your family left, you tend to let a lot of things slide. "Pfttt! Now, where's my sweet girl!!" She says and Riot hopes out of her sleeping space in my closet, good to know she sleeps there sometimes.
"Ahhh there's my favorite girly!!" Junko says petting Riot like a madwoman. "Don't get her too hyped up! She'll be a pain in stores." I tell her walking to my bathroom. I look at the calendar in there, it helps me keep track of when I have to take my meds. "Fuck~~!" I say walking back to the door frame, "Junko~~Big sister! Light of my life!" "What do you need help with Eijiro? You only say stuff like that when you need help." "So I may or may not have to take a T-shot..." "Haven't you already finished your transition? I thought you didn't have to take them anymore?" She says stopping petting Riot and walking to the bathroom to help me. "Yeah, but the doctor wants me to take one every six months as a precaution. Only till I'm 25 though, so only 3 more years!" I say sitting on the toilet as she grabs the shot from the drawer, she gave me my shots when I first started so she knows where they all are.
"Ah, that sorta makes sense! Now don't harden up on me!" She says and shoves the shot into my arm...and the needle breaks on my hardened skin. "Dam! I really did lose in the quirk gene huh? Thanks, Ma!" She says injecting me, this time without me hardening. "Believe me, It causes more harm than good." I say sighing "I know. My wife works with a few people that lost or got rid of their quirks...But hey! They're happier now!" She says. "That's really cool! I need to work in a place like that I swear, they're normally on the more exciting side." I say grabbing clothes and changing in the bathroom after kicking her out. "She was telling me that's there's an open spot she was trying to fill but I don't know if you'd be interested in her line of work." She says. I walk out "As long as they treat me well. I'd do anything at this point!" "Dam it's that bad?" She says walking to my kitchen and starting a pot of coffee like she owns the place.
I watch her struggle to reach the cups before walking over and helping. She may be older but I took all the height. "Mhm. The last place fired me when I changed my gender on my ID finally. Plus working at the places I have been is so unfilling. I want to try something new!" I say getting fired up. "I always want to be trying something new or at least something exciting. I hate going into work and knowing I'm going to be doing this next week and the ones after. Y'know?" "Yeah... I know . Now! Drink up 'cus you're going to be shopping with me till lunch! You're gonna need it!" " Your the best but sometimes, sometimes I can't handle your energy."
