Better Together (Andi/Juliette Childhood Friends AU) WIP
"Andi Eun-Ji Kim!"Juliette glares at the woman sprawled sideways in her chair, "You dirty chip thief!"
Andi grins back, "Don't act like I won't find another three bags in your desk."
"…four, actually," Juliette sighs, "So are you just here to raid my snack stash?"
"Maybe I just wanted to visit my bestest bud, hm?" Andi's grin turns sly, "… so is Paris around?"
"Ha ha ha," Juliette snarks, "Very funny. She's still pissed, you know."
"Your existence," Juliette walks around her desk, "You have two seconds before I sit on you."
Andi flips backwards—the showoff—with a laugh, "I usually don't get that offer until the third date."
"You broke it off after the third date with your last three Flint matches," Juliette deadpans.
Andi just waggles her eyebrows and eats another chip.
"Seriously? You're not going to even defend yourself?"
"They knew what they were getting into," Andi shrugs, "I don't make any promises I can't keep. Speaking of promises…"
Juliette looks up from her desk at Andi, then checks her watch, "Oh shit, did I miss–wait, no, today isn't our lunch day."
"It's not, but you missed girl's night last week, so I thought I'd give you a reminder that if you're not at my apartment by 8PM tonight, I'm obligated to hunt you down and set your paperwork on fire."
"I don't remember that being a part of girls' night."
"It's a new policy I'm implementing," Andi eats another chip, "My other idea was to post increasingly embarrassing videos of me ringing your doorbell–"
"Okay, ringing your elevator or poking your door man until he reacts. I feel like I went with the tamer option."
"Wow," Juliette deadpans, "Much calm, such restraint. I'm in awe of your zen."
"I'm glad someone sees it!" Andi shoves her way past Juliette's arms to sit on the blonde's lap, "Now pinky promise that you're not going to miss tonight!"
Juliette rolls her eyes, but obliges her friend, "Bourbon or wine?"
Juliette raises an eyebrow, "That bad?"
"Ugh, don't get me started," Andi pulls a face, "Four years. Not a single call or text, but suddenly they're all about 'being a family' and 'reconnecting'."
Juliette winces and gives Andi a hug, "I'll bring a tub of mint chip."
"Ooh, Jules, you beautiful woman. Muah!" Andi gives her a cheesy kiss on the cheek, "You know me so well."
"Unfortunately," Juliette gives Andi one last squeeze, "On that note, I'm going to have to kick you out of my office now if you want me to make it to movie night."
"Boo. I'm taking the chips with me," Andi shakes the bag in emphasis.
Juliette waves absentmindedly, then looks up when she hears her window slide open, "Wait, where are you–Andi! We talked about this! I'm on the fourth floor!"
Andi blows a raspberry and climbs out the window anyways. Juliette rushes over to make sure her idiot friend is okay, then sighs in relief when Andi climbs down without harm.
"You're a menace to society!"
[AN: Lowkey posting just to shill myself and Connection, the first volume of a Bat/Cat/MC series. My more legit reason is to gauge interest in this AU—I'm trying to decide if I want this to become a huge thing like RitD or make it shorter. (Which still means like, 50k+ words lmao)]
