paint.

k gaiz before you say anything, this is for ayu to help her mourn the ship. maybe it's a little bit for me too-

Moving into a new house was a landmark for any couples relationship, so she had been told, her father seemed pretty happy with the idea that she was actually settling down (however she wasn’t exactly sure if he was happy with the man she’d chosen). Of course there were lots of things that you had to sort out when you were moving in together, like which bits of furniture you were going to keep, what you were going to get and most importantly for Astrid … the colour everything was going to be. However at the current moment Rei was being just about as co-opperative as a brick wall. She’d tried asking him at dinner, when they got up, hell she’d even asked him to come to the paint store with the small piece of hope in her heart that he might actually take an interest in the colour they were going to paint their home. It was a small miracle that she had managed to get him to go, he’d even offered to push the cart however everytime she looked over at him, those lovely clear aqua eyes weren’t focused on her … but the lump of plastic and wires in his hand otherwise known as his cell phone.

Astrid was a naturally jealous woman, she’d admit that in all the years that the redhead had spent on the planet she would become jealous over things that she shouldn’t even be jealous about. However she felt like she was justified to say that she was envious over the phone right now and would take great joy in ripping the object from his hands and smashing it on the floor, allowing her rage at the blue haired male to subside as she turned it into small unrecognisable pieces of an iPhone. However since running apple products over with a shopping cart wasn’t exactly behaviour that was smiled upon by society she would just have to buy her time and wait to take her anger out on her ‘adoring’ boyfriend when they got home. If they even had a home together when they got back, de[ending on wither she decided to throw him out of for caring more about his stupid job than her. It was just one morning. One! It wouldn’t hurt him to not take any business calls or text clients for another few hours now would it? It would you know, let them connect a little and it wouldn’t make her jealous of a piece of machinery … she couldn’t believe the fact she was jealous of a cell phone.

“Rei could you put down the phone, I’m actually going to need your input in a minute surprisingly” the redhead muttered, tucking her crimson hair behind her ear before turning around to gauge her boyfriend’s reaction. “Oh? I’m listening, let me just put this away” Rei replied with a smile that Astrid knew was far from genuine, it was the one he used on other people, people that he was trying to trick. The phone on the other hand, had found its way into the informants pocket and Astrid could only thank the lord for that because she was really starting to lose her patience with him. “Right now we can actually do something” she muttered under her breath before continuing her journey down to the paint isle, ignoring the fact that Rei had asked her what she had muttered under her breath. If he was going to ignore her for the phone then she was going ignore him for the sound of her own voice. That was how she was going to play this.

He was only a few steps behind her when they finally reached the paint isle, the Maisano woman immediately grabbed onto two pots of paint before spinning around to show her pineapple haired partner “Right so I was thinking either this one or this one for the li-“ she started, her cheery tone evaporating into silence as once again she found herself a rival to the telecommunications device, something which the twin was tapping at intensely. She could practically feel her teeth grit together at the sight of the previously discarded phone somehow working its way back into his hand, and fighting the urge to smash it once again, the woman held out the beige paint before practically growling “Living room, thoughts?”

“Yes, go for that one” Astrid could practically feel a vein growing on her head in anger. He didn’t even look! He was too busy gazing at his phone that he didn’t even look at what colour she was holding for crying out loud! Picking up the nearest colour from the shelf (which happened to be a fetching shade of lime green) the redhead held that one out for inspection. “And this for the bedroom?” “Perfect” the informant cheerfully replied once more, not even looking again which was when the paint started getting thrown. Rei recoiled back slightly as the small silver tub of green paint bounced off his chest before staring accusingly at his girlfriend. “You know you could at least have an interest in what colour we are going to paint our home! It’s green, you hate green!”

“Rosso pettriosso, are you not over reacting just a bi-“

“No! I’m not because you are driving me insane! Just you know … I’m act- we are in a relationship Rei! This is an awkward experience for me okay? I’ve never thought about moving in with someone before so if you could just help me out a little and pick a fucking paint colour you liked then I’d really fucking appreciate it, that or just fuck off!”

Honestly she didn’t even want to be in a relationship with someone, she didn’t like being dependent on someone and here she was needing his opinions on paint colours for the house they were going to share together. The thought of sharing a space freaked her out too, no matter how much she loved him. Because that was settling down and despite being 28 she wasn’t sure if she was ready for that, hell she’d ran away from one fiancé because she wasn’t ready for that, and whilst there was a difference with being 18 and 28 how was she ever going to know she was ready to be that kind of woman. The one who got married and was a great wife, who even knew if they were going to get married huh?! Well they weren’t at the minute because his dumb attitude was driving her insane-

“Beige, huh? That seems a little too boring for you Astrid-chan~” the male’s voice rung out, interrupting her little rant as his arms wrapped around her from behind, twirling the paint can around so he could inspect the shade for himself. “Not just beige moron, I was going to put it with another colour … like have a teal wall or something” the redhead snapped back, getting annoyed with the chuckling sound in her ear, just knowing he was smirking like the Cheshire fucking cat.

“What about purple?” “No, I’ve decided on teal, deal with it” Astrid countered, half tempted to push his stupid head off his shoulder, deciding against it in the end because the interest in the paint was worth more to her than physically injuring him at the moment.

“So really, you didn’t want me to contribute. You just wanted me to agree with whatever you said?” Rei asked, that stupid smirk still ingrained into his face she could tell. “Why you know me so well, your my boyfriend sweetheart, I make it seem like you’d get an opinion on these things” the redhead replied with her own smirk, picking up the can of paint and attempting to put it in the cart until she could feel the arms that were wrapped around her tighten. “You know, you’ve injured me today rosso, physically and in my pride in deciding I can’t make a decision about paint colours~” the bluenette replied, the hint of mock sadness in his voice almost making her laugh. “Good. You can get used to it for years to come” Astrid replied, freeing herself from his grip (though it wasn’t hard, Rei was an notorious weakling in her book and that was probably why the paint can left such a long lasting bruise) and planting a quick kiss on his lips before settling off in search of the teal paint.

“Eh? Does this mean that we’re going to get married and be together forever Astrid~?” Rei teased, Astrid rolling her eyes at his immature behaviour, turning round and walking backwards so she could keep facing him. “If that was some kind of proposal it was pretty shitty” she replied bluntly, the aqua eyed male shrugging his shoulders with indifference. “And if it was~? Would you say yes?”

A brief silence fell between the two, the redhead looking away to pick up the can of paint that she had been looking for before dropping it in the cart with a loud clang. “I think that if you propose to me in a hardware store after I’ve just thrown some paint at you then think again … make it big and extravagant and I might just say yes, you got that Rei~? And I want a fucking expensive ring, you earn enough for one of those right?”

“I will keep that in mind” the twin replied with a nod before tilting his head slightly “And what happened to the whole ‘marriage keeps you down’ mindset hmm?”

“Well I guess you can just be a living exception… now I was thinking about this for the kitchen-“
