Flatmates | Wendy & Autumn

autumn-voclain:

Autumn was friendly, to an excess really. She never had problems making friends and was fairly outgoing in every situation she found herself in. While she never had a problem making friends, it seemed as though Autumn couldn’t keep girl friends around for very long. Living in Eastwick her whole life, there still wasn’t one girl Autumn could point out as a close friend. That didn’t stop her from being a shoulder to cry on or just a friendly face to talk to. When Autumn heard about Wendy’s living arrangement she took it upon herself, as usual, to comfort her. This wasn’t just helping someone out though, Autumn had her own motives. Living together would mean the two would surely become instant friends, Wendy was already a nice enough person.

As promised, Autumn cleared out the spare room that contained everything from old textbooks to videogames from her childhood. When Autumn moved out of the family home she didn’t even hesitate on bring her toys and things of that nature. She was a child at heart after all and loved having her belongings close to her. A second promise made, Autumn began the cupcakes. It wasn’t unusual for people to stop by after smelling them throughout the halls. She had just pulled them from the oven to cool on the stove when the buzzer by the door went off. “Hello?” she pressed the button. “Wendy! Come on up!” Autumn’s giddiness was apparent and she pressed the second button opening the downstairs door. She opened her own door and waited for her new roommate.

Quickly jogging up the gradual steps that lead up to Autumn’s, and now her, apartment she found herself just walking through the door and into the smell of the delicious cupcakes. She usually noticed that she often times just knocked before coming into a house, but Wendy now felt as if she actually lived there too – which she technically did. “Hey!” she called out to Autumn, “I just have a few items in my car, so it won’t take me long to bring them up. But I’ll do that in a few.” As Wendy’s eyes wandered around the apartment, she took it all in. She wasn’t used to settling down in one place for too long, so this feeling of starting over in a new place with a new person made her feel slightly anxious.

Trotting over to the kitchen, she peered over at the oven and saw the cooling cupcakes. “They smell delicious!” Wendy was delighted that Autumn had actually made the cupcakes like she had said she would. Tasty, and sugary, foods had always been Wendy’s thing so the cupcakes were like bacon hanging in front of a dogs face to her.
