#summer bathroom

[not-available-for-comment]

So I work in a large institutional building with the sort of basement that Will have roaches, no matter how careful you are or how much you exterminate. Because the building is also very old, these roaches are the size of Buicks and utterly fearless as well. This circumstance has led to a phenomenon I call Winter Bathroom vs Summer Bathroom.

I work on the second floor (first floor for you Europeans), and it gets very cold in the winter. So roaches typically don’t make it to my floor in the winter months because it’s just not worth it compared to the relatively stable warmth of the basement/presumably they don’t survive if they attempt it. Once it starts getting consistently cold, I feel safe using the Winter Bathroom, which is conveniently located only three doors down the hall from me.

However. Ever since the summer when a THREE INCH roach took up residence IN THE TOILET BOWL of my favorite stall (my favorite stall!) and survived repeated dousing with toilet bowl cleaner (!!!) by the janitorial staff and was only evicted when I complained and someone hired an exterminator, I have not felt. Entirely at ease. In the Winter Bathroom during the summer months. I now continue using it until I see an inevitable roach in or near it once properly warm weather arrives, and then it is dead to me until autumn.

Once Roach Watch has posted an alert, I transfer my attentions to the Summer Bathroom. The Summer Bathroom has enough faults to keep it from being my preferred pit stop. It’s about 3x further away, down a different hall, and passes close to an office of people who may try to engage me in awkward conversations that I usually don’t have all my faculties available for if I’m nipping out for a quick piss mid-task. It’s also busier than the Winter Bathroom. However, crucially, the Summer Bathroom is in a slightly newer and much more recently renovated wing of the building, and I have never seen a single roach in or near it.

Anyway, my first roach sighting of the year was last week, so I’ve been working on remembering to use the Summer Bathroom since, and every time I think about the little ways we mark the changing seasons and how absolutely no one is ever going to understand the slightly elegiac tone of my first several pilgrimages to Summer Bathroom.

Greetings, bestie.

Beautiful, fantastic, stunning, and intelligent as always.

But in my infinite wisdom and never ending judgment, I couldn’t help but observe you’re just a little dry.

Here, take this. It’s a big fucking jug of water. Chug the shit out of it.

Drink to your heart's content.

You will stay hydrated.

I’m starting my own 10 commandments, and this is actually at the top of the list, so for there to be piss, there must first be slurp.

So sayeth Gabriel, Judge of Hell, and judge of your bladder.

Drink up. And the urine will await you down below.

Bathroom, Fred Weasley

Relationship: Fred Weasley x fem!reader

Word Count: short lol

Summary: You and Fred are stuck in the bathroom.

Notes: Thinking of writing an actual fan fiction about Fred Weasley, so let me know what you think!

Fred positioned himself discreetly in the bathroom, the muffled quarrels of Ginny and Ron seeping through the closed door, saturating the confined area.

The absurdity of the situation overwhelmed you. Here you were, trapped in the sole bathroom of the Burrow, alongside Fred Weasley.

With a heavy sigh, you lowered your head onto your lap, unintentionally causing the toilet to emit a faint creak. A suppressed chuckle escaped Fred's lips, followed by the distant sound of approaching footsteps.

Gradually, his feet materialized within your field of vision, followed by his upper torso. He knelt down in front of you, placing his hands on either side of your thighs.

"If we're destined to be stuck here, might as well make the most of it," he remarked, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.

they're on a train and they're going away.

"away to where, charlie", cameron urges, worry in voice and map in hand, "i don't think just getting on a train was a good idea, this could go who knows where-"

he's cut off by a loud whoop that is promptly whisked away by the rush of landscape outside the dusty train windows - a blur of stationtreetreetreehousetreehousehousesky. "WE'RE GOING AWAY!!!!"

meeks laughs. "keep it down, pittsie, don't want your old man hearing and dragging you off at the next station, do you?"

pitts smirks out the window. "i'd like to see him try."

"attaboy!" charlie tries and fails to tousle pitts' hair and turns the gesture into a half-convincing high five. "this is an adventure!"

cameron mutters something that sounds like "that's what they all say before they end up in the middle of texas with no money and too much ego", but the vibration of the train floor drowns it out.

"guys, i've found us seats!" neil grins at them, face so bright they're all a bit surprised it doesn't reflect in the windowpane like the ghost-torch the sun is in it.

"and i've found a window to yell out of!"

"gimme a go, pittsie-" neil shuffles in front of it, craning his neck to have his mouth by the opening that spills wind and train-track sounds. "I'M ALIVE!!!"

there's cheers and laughter and then knox appears by his side, eyes sparkling. "c'mon frankenstein, show us these seats. we have a long way to go."

they're on a train and they're going away.
