Prompt 21 - First Flat/House

@wolfstarmicrofic January 21, word count 353

“You have to jiggle the lock, and the door sticks, but it’s ours,” Sirius said proudly as he jammed the key in the lock, twisted it at an odd angle until it clicked, and then put his shoulder against the door, shoving it hard. It shuddered on its hinges as it swung open and revealed the slightly rundown flat. “Look, I know it needs a bit of love, but we can make it our own,” Sirius darted forward and spread his arms out. “We can put a sofa here, and a bookcase here. Monty said we could have his old wireless, plus we can put my record player next to it so we can have the best of both worlds. 

There are two bedrooms, so James and Lily can stay over, and the bathroom has this amazing claw foot bath and the kitchen has an actual muggle oven in it.” 

Sirius led Remus all over the small flat. He looked at Remus hopefully once the tour was over, waiting for his verdict. 

“Sirius,” He said fondly. “It’s perfect,” Sirius leapt into his arms.

“You mean it? You really like it?” 

“Yes,” Remus chuckled.

“Brilliant!” Sirius beamed. 

They were interrupted by a knock at the door. Remus turned around and pulled it open, with Sirius still clinging to him. Two burly men were standing on the other side holding a bed between them. 

“Delivery for a,” The man looked down at his clipboard. “For a Mr Black,” He looked back up at them. “Either one of you, Mr Black?” Sirius let go of Remus and handled the delivery. Remus watched as item after item was brought up the stairs and into their new flat. Once everything was set up, Sirius made sure to give the men a good tip, with help from Remus to pick out the right notes, and shut the door on them. 

“So, party?” Sirius asked. Remus laughed and pulled him close for a kiss. Something he could do whenever he wanted now without the prying eyes of others. It was a heady feeling and one he hoped never went away.

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

one of my favorite parts of apothecary diaries is how every one of gyokuyou's ladies in waiting immediately goes, "this is our maomao. we found her in a back alley, that's why she's so scraggly and weird. isn't she gross? what an angel. we would kill and die for her. she's such a little freak. insult her and we'll eat your family :)".not kidding it's actually almost instantanous.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party

and guys my age stop by to tell me I remind them of their aunt, of their grandmother. This is a compliment and I take it as such. They confess to having tried crochet once, and I smile. They get back in line for the bathroom.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and a queer woman sits on the floor next to me, arranges her skirt, and smiles up at me. (I try not to blush.) She asks me all the questions on her mind about my craft and I answer them, hands still moving. We swap yarn sources. She doesn't stay, but she knows where to find me.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and everyone knows where to find me when they need a minute, when socializing is too much and the music is too loud and they need to catch their breath. They pretend to be checking in on me, which is sweet, but I can see the relief in their eyes the moment they stop performing for a house full of people. They sit down and tell me things and all the while they never take their eyes off my hands.

The party has wound down and I'm still knitting and the hosts, two guys in their twenties, thank me for "helping to curate the vibe." I had no idea that's what I was doing. I leave the party having forgotten to drink anything and without that woman's number but with many rows added to my top-down raglan sweater. I call it a night, and a good one.

Remember how Miss Pauling said she'd spent her whole life to help the administrator....

She didn't even know what she was helping with, but she wanted to be by her side, until she learned how deeply personal and self destructive the whole thing was... and in the end there never was going to be a 'place' set for her :^(

I'm so sorry Flo 😭

Robin fully thinks that Dustin is a dog that was sent to obedience school and not a human child that went to summer camp because Steve talks about him like:

Steve, sighing wistfully: I just miss the little guy, you know?

Robin: ?

Steve, right after servicing ice cream to a guy: That’s my mailman. Dustin fuckin’ hates that guy. Goes crazy when he sees him.

Steve: *does not elaborate on Dustin’s long standing feud with the postal service*

Steve: My parents are actually kinda happy that’s he’s gone. They think he’s loud.

Robin, thinking of her neighbor’s dog: Yeah, they’re like that.

Steve: And the jumping, they hate that.

Steve: - bunch of chocolate. Got an upset stomach and threw up.

Robin: They can’t have chocolate.

Steve: Yeah, I know. He’ll throw up!

Steve: Dustin’s coming back next week. I think I’m going to get him a welcome back gift. Got any ideas?

Robin: Something that squeaks?

Boy, walking up to the counter: Hi

Robin: Hi

Boy: I’m Dustin

Robin, internally: *no one can ever know any of my thoughts ever*
