A new beginning (Jassnip/sinfulrook)

[Jassnip]

Demmy put the box down with a sigh and stretched out her back. Moving was such a pain but it was nice to be out of her parents house finally. Plus, she wasn't completely alone. She could still depend on her twin, her other half, her brother. She took her hair tie off of her wrist and put her long, wavy brown hair into a bun so that it was out of the way while they were moving things around. Leaning down, she opened up the box to see what was inside. More clothes of hers. She closed the box back up and kicked it down the hallway into what would be her room.

She was getting tired and in need of a break. She wiped away the sweat on her forehead with the back of her arm and licked her lips, thirsty. Hoping to find at least one last bottle of water, she went to the fridge and was glad to see that there was still one. "Thank god we stopped for a few things before coming here..." she said to herself. As she gulped down half the bottle she walked over to the front door in order to call down to her brother. "Hey you! How much is left?" she asked loudly and placed the cool bottle to her forehead.

Leonardo, or just Leo to everyone he knew, even his parents, was by his jeep, unloading stuff and checking the boxes to see what was in them. He had just recently been accepted into a college, and the college had a few apartments nearby for sale. His twin sister, his other half, was accepted as well, and since there was no reason to buy two separate apartments, their parents helped them pay for just the one, helping buy some furniture as well. Their parents were actually happy to get them out of the house since they'd always be noisy and lazy half the time.

As he was pulling out a really heavy box, one of the few that wasn't filled with clothes, he set it down on the ground outside the jeep, standing up straight and bending backwards to crack his back. The heat outside was unbearable, and it was making him sweat like crazy. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and then stroked his hand through his short brown hair to clean off his hand. He knew he needed a shower afterwards, and just as he thought about the shower, he heard his sweet sister's voice. He turned a little to look at her, then sighed and picked up the box, turning fully to her. "We just have three more boxes, the furniture is gonna be here in a week or so..." He told her, upset that they had to buy a whole new bed for one of them to use. "We're almost done." He said and then spotted the bottle of water in her hand, his sky blue eyes just staring at it for a while.

Demmy noticed his intent stare a the bottle of water in her hands. She smirked and pressed the cool bottle to her cheek. "Thirsty are we?" she asked him before taking another sip of the refreshing drink. "Hurry up and bring in that box and I'll think about saving you some of it," she said with a teasing wink to her brother before turning into the apartment and sitting on the stool that was placed at the island in kitchen. Looking around the apartment, she smiled a little. For the price they were paying, it was a really nice apartment. It even came with a few things already in it like the fridge and of course the stool she was sitting on. But the main thing she loved about it right now was that it came with AC. Not that it was on right now considering the door was propped open so they could bring in the boxes.

"Hurry up you slow poke! I wanna bring in the last couple things, close the door, blast the AC, and take a nice shower!" she called out to him before placing her head on the cool granite counter and resting the bottle of water on the back of her neck. Go figure that they move in to their new apartment on one of the hottest days that it had been all summer.

Leo groaned at her when she teased him with the bottle of water, hating that she never shared anything with him. When she just turned and went up to their apartment, he followed, struggling to go up the stairs with the heavy box. He forgot what was in it, but it felt like either a bunch of dishes, or their laptops along with the printer. As he entered the apartment, he saw her sitting on the stool already, telling him to hurry up. "Demmy come on! This stuff is heavy! You'd better help me or else you're sleeping on the floor tonight." He said to her in a rather mean voice, then set the box down carefully. He went over to her and snatched the bottle of water from her neck, chugging it all down instantly.

"Besides, I'm showering first, I didn't get to shower at home." He said to her strictly. He always had authority over her, being more powerful than her. There was only one way she was going to get to shower before him, and he wasn't going to let it happen. "Come on, let's go get the last three boxes, the sooner we finish the sooner we can shower and have dinner." He told her with a sigh and tossed the bottle into the recycling bin from far away. Once that was done, he went back downstairs to the car.

Demmy just stared after him with an open jaw. Well someone's certainly cranky... She thought to herself before shrugging it off and hopping off the stool. Slowly making her way back to the jeep, she mumbled and grumbled the whole time. "Don't have to be so nasty about it.... Plus you wouldn't actually make me sleep on the floor.... You love me too much to be that mean... My ass you're gonna get the first shower..." she said mainly to herself, not really caring if he heard her or not. Sure she might be acting a little spoiled but she was the little girl. Once at the jeep, she grabbed the lightest of the two boxes left and turned quickly on her heal, still mumbling and grumbling.

"What are we gonna have for dinner anyways? We'll obviously have to order in, but what do you want?" she asked as she walked away from her brother. The quicker she got inside and set the box down somewhere, the faster she could run to the bathroom and lock the door, making it so he couldn't have the first shower. She went and helped him still, so he couldn't be too mad. Then again... In either case she picked up her speed and scurried back into the apartment.

Leo heard her mumbling, but he didn't care to pay much attention to any of it. He grabbed another box, a lighter on this time, and forced her to get the heavier one. As they walked back to the apartment, he saw her trying to scurry back inside faster, and he knew what she was up to, and there was no way in hell he was going to let her have her way. When she asked what they'll have for dinner, he thought about it for a moment as they went up the stairs. "Well, we can have chinese or pizza, you pick." He said as they went inside the apartment.

He set the box down and then watched her run off towards the shower. He quickly caught her and stopped her from running in there alone. "Oh no you don't!" He said to her and dragged her back outside the apartment. "You still have work to do missy!" He said to her and held her wrist, pulling her outside of the apartment and back towards the jeep. "I know what you were planning, and it's not going to be your way. Whenever you shower first, you ALWAYS use up all the hot water." He told her, but he wasn't trying to be mean. He loved her, that was true, but she was too spoiled, and for once, she would have to follow someone else's rules.

 

[Jassnip]

Demmy pout as she was dragged back outside the apartment and towards the jeep. "But...but...but! What else do I have to do? Those were the last couple of boxes right? Come one Leo! Don't be so stingy!" she said and walked her finger up his chest all the way to his nose of which she then poked. She loved to be a little playful with her brother, especially because he had his moments where he was so just....well stuck up. "You could call a nearby pizza place, blast on the AC, and unpack a little bit while I rinse off. I promise I wont use the hot water. It's too hot to use the hot water. I was planning on taking a nice and cool, but relaxing shower. So what do you say?" she asked him with a tilt of her head.

 

[sinfulrook]

As they stood by the car and his nose was poked, he lightened up a tiny bit, but as she said she won't use the hot water, he let go of her wrist. "You better keep that promise." He told her and then pulled out one more box, for her. Luckily it was very light. "Here." He said and handed her the box. "You can take the shower first only if you bring this up and promise me not to use all the hot water." He told her strictly and then kissed her cheek gently. After that, he grabbed the last box, thankfully it was light too, and he closed and locked the car, then headed up to their apartment. When he got there, he noticed her box was already delivered and she was gone. He heard running water and he sighed, plopping down on the couch after closing the door and just waiting.

 

[Jassnip]

Demmy let the cool water run down her body for a few minutes, relaxing as the hot heat was washed away from her. With a sigh of relaxation she began to wash herself down, not wanting to waste too much water. Once she was done, she turned the water off and wrapped herself in a towel before wiping off the mirror and brushing out her hair. Looking all around the bathroom, she realized she'd forgot to grab a change of clothes before rushing in. With a sigh she opened the door a little and called out to Leo. "Hey Leoooooo? Could you do me a favor and grab me a change of clothes? Hell it could even be pajamas for all I care. And did you close up the house and turn on the AC? It still feels a little warm."

 

[sinfulrook]

Leo sat on the couch, feeling too lazy to do anything at the moment, but he got up anyways and went to go hook up the TV on his own. They got the cable included in their rent, but it wasn't that much, and it was really nice. After he finished hooking it up, he heard his sister shouting to him. He went towards her bedroom, passing by the bathroom. "I'll turn it on in a sec, sis." He told her through the closed door and then went into her room, finding in which box her clothes were. Luckily, her pajamas were on top, so he grabbed those, and then went towards the bathroom, knocking on the door once there. "Demmy, I got your pajamas." He said, turning his head away and waiting for her to grab them. Once she took the clothes, he went to the kitchen and turned on the AC with the thermostat, turning down the temperature to about 68 degrees.

 

[Jassnip]

Demmy quickly dried off and put on her pajamas. The fabric of the soft shorts felt really nice on her freshly shaven legs not only because they were soft but because they just slightly warmed her now very cool skin. She pulled back her long brown hair into a loose ponytail so it would still be able to dry but still be out of her way. Stretching as she stepped out of the bathroom, she walked down the hallway towards her brother and smiled sweetly at him. "Nice and clean. Cool too. The bathroom is all yours now. But before you do we should talk dinner. We'll have to go grocery shopping tomorrow so that means ordering in tonight because I'm already in 'jammies. What do you want and or feel like eating? I'm alright with whatever you choose."

 

[sinfulrook]

Leo sat on the couch, just relaxing there with his head tilted back, waiting for his sister to finish her shower. Once she emerged, he opened his eyes and looked over at her, sighing when she mentioned grocery shopping the next day. When she said she'd be okay with whatever he chose, he stood up and walked up to her. "Food is your concern right now, shower is my concern." He said to her and then walked into the bathroom with a fresh towel. He turned the water up to make it nice and hot. He showered slowly, at least for a man it was slow, and once he was done, he came out of the bathroom feeling fresh and clean, the heat not bothering him now since he was completely clean.
