Spoons

Date/Timing: ~January 2015; shortly after the girls arrive in Sydney from Townsville
Setting: their flat in Redfern, NSW, Australia (it's a Sydney neighbourhood)
.
Bubbles towels her hair dry, humming tunelessly.
The door bolt /snecks.
Door opens.
Door closes.
Shuffling footsteps.
Futon /fumps.
Bubbles wanders out of the washroom.
There's Blossom, face-down on the futon.
"No luck?"
""Mro."" Blossom drags her face around. "People suck."
Bubbles pouts. "Even me?"
Wallow-y whine. 
Gathers Blossom to her chest. "Tell your Bubbles what happened."
Angry sigh. "First one didn't look above my collar—"
"Creep."
"—second said my handwriting meant I wasn't 'creative' enough—"
"Nutloaf."
"—and the third flat told me I only got an interview to fill the diversity quota."
"You should've punched their ass."
Frustrated noise.
Bubbles strokes her hair. "It'll get—"
"Don't. Start." Wails, "I wanna work!"
Eases them down, presses herself against Blossom. "You'll find something and I'm making enough for both—"
Flops over on her other side, snuffles. "I don't wanna be kept like your pet."
Bubbles wraps Blossom in a proper hug, tucks her under her chin. "But you'd make such an /adorable pet."
Blossom—gently—elbows her in the ribs.
"How about 'consort'? Is 'consort' better?"
"No." Yawns.
Bubbles stretches up, flicks off the light.
"Wha?"
"Bedtime for Blossom and Bubbles."
A bigger yawn. "'kay."
"You wanna get out of your clothes?"
"Too sleepy. And comfy."
"Cool, cool." Snuggles closer. "Sweet dreams, pet."
Blossom—gently—elbows her in the ribs.
Bubbles giggles.
Huffs.
Blossom's out almost immediately. And snoring. Loudly.
Bubbles rolls her eyes, heaves a long-suffering sigh.
