Series Title: Twin Size Mattrasses (A Queerplatonic Roommates InvisiMecha Universe) (roommates for 12 years)
Plot Opening:
Once upon a time, a 17 year old Robert meets a 15 year old Courtney in the middle of a [spoiler] late at night.
As Mecha Man, Robert didn't want Courtney to roam around at night unsafe, especially since Courtney had no plans to rent a motel room or go back to her current foster family for the late evening.
Courtney makes a joke about him offering his own bed and Robert's like "actually I can offering my bed because I'll still be working tonight." And then Robert (still hiding in the Mech suit, hiding that he's 17) offers to Courtney, that if she ever needs a safe place to just sleep at night, she can come around to his place.
And Courtney, of course, accepts free room and board immediately and soon surprises Robert by actually coming around his place randomly, like a stray cat who, admittedly, has been given permission to break into Robert's home and disappears whenever she like.
Safe to say it doesn't take long for Courtney to discover that the famous Mecha Man Blue, aka Big Blue, is only 2 years older than her and doesn't let himself have much of a life.
Whelp! That's not her problem...actually this sad doe eyed wasian white boy is her closest friend (and basically family) so she's dragging him everywhere to experience life and not be a workaholic loser who feels 80 at 25.
Living together [a mix of them being unofficial (one bed, bigger house) and official (cannon game apartment) roommates]:
1.Ride or Die bisexual the pair of them.
Fav joke - "I know where you live, fucker!" "I know where you live fucker!"
2.Robert has been trained for many things...but having to tell his bestie that her bio dad was most likely a pedi after she unknowing casually dropped trauma lore was not one of them.
Robert never brushe off what Courtney's unknowing sexual trauma (you read that post) but he just doesn't know how to bring it up in detail.
But with the trauma lore drop, Robert is more patience with Courtney when she accidentally invades his privacy, disregards her own privacy, crosses consent boundaries and asks invasive questions.
Robert actually calls Courtney out on her shit and successfully sets boundaries while Courtney (being more impressionable at 15-20) actually works to not be a creep. She still has issues in public spaces but at home she knows the rules and the rules respect her too.
3. Courtney's ADHD has her sometimes forgets to write down the stuff she steals from Robert (he's one condition cuz he want to know if she took it or he just lost it) so there are some petty arguments there. Courtney returns most stuff of Robert's.
4. They can't actually cuddle together because Courtney kicks like a horse in her sleep and has kicked a hole in the wall by accident and Robert would like to keep his organs unbruised.
5.Courtney picks up some of Robert small bad habits -> uses 3-in-1 shampoo, has passable but sad cooking skills, sleeps more but sleeping schedule is all over the place, etc.
6. Courtney teases Robert for his corny pep talks especially after she learnt he practiced them through World of Warcraft team raids and having to give himself pep talks in the mirror (is so sad).
7.Courtney teases Robert for having a conspiracy board of flambae that was up on their wall for a month.
8.Robert hides always hides Courtney's cigs when she annoys him.
9. They make fun of each's shit taste in dates. throwing stones at glass houses behaviour.
10.They never ask each other for sensitive info about their hero and thief life but they absolute gossip. (I love little sister snitch headcannon for Courtney).
11. They have movie night Friday. They pirate movies all the time. (Movie nights become Robert's reason to live/come home before beef.)
12. Pranks war have happened because of course.
13. Robert will and has kept track of Courtney via marking her with glitter when she tries to run away from consequences.
14. They hooked up in their 20s once and it was like "great date, great sex, top notch aftercare- felt like I just had sex with my cousin- let's never do that again, but you're still my unlabelled soulmate." They have fun in the rare threesome and Cortney invites Robert to orgies sometimes and at the 1st orgy Robert got title of Throat Goat (40 in one night you know the ref).
15. When Robert moves in with Flambae (Flamecha), Courteny and Robert will be neighbours and that is not up to negotiation. (especially since the Coma).
16. They are not co-dependent (god knows they're both too independent for that). I just want family to be close and in walking distance so they can hang out whenever but still have privacy.
Small things are difficulty for me to come up with, I have list of slice of life things that I plan to write in a chronological date format for part 1 chapter 2, so feel free to share any of your thought with me. I promise to credit you for any and all inspirations!!
And please send more asks if you're inserted in this au!!
Some random/funny Invisimech Twinsize Mattresses AU stuff (1).
Games, Punk, Feral, and idiots giving a shit about each other.
Robert doesn't know the full power of his big brown doe eyes but Courtney does and she copies him. And it freaking works! Okay, her sad brown puppies eyes work 40-60% of the time and never on Robert, but still.
They're both weird about hugs, so most of their physical affection is touch and go. In other words, they play wrestle, play slap fight, and have spontaneous tag games where the fist tag involves surprising the other with a slap on the (fully pants-ed/clothed) ass. Courtney was the one to start this one boring day in the house, unsurprisingly.
"If I (Courtney) run and leap at Robo Robber-son, he will deadass catch me in his arms every time. Watch." "No, no, I'm holding my twinki-"
Beef is more Robert's dog than Courtney's. Mostly cuz Courtney noticed that Beef is actually pretty smart in reminding Robert to drink water, eat, sleep and go outside, so when she dog-sits, she puts on How-To-Thearpy-Dog vids hoping Beef is somehow absorbing the extra info. (He is.)
Courtney never posts videos or pics of Robert on social media, but she does have an accumulated amount of vine-energy vids.
A sadistic teen Courtney dragged a teen Robert to the arcade and forced him to play DDR with her. This action pipelined to Courtney & Robert being able to shamelessly (cringe) dance in public together and belch out pretty decent karaoke/iconic movie songs that they've memorized for fun together. Robert needs to at least be a little buzzed with booze to sing karaoke with an audience, tho.
The Peach Frenzy of Memorial Day.
Courtney had swapped out Robert's patrol playlist for white girl music as a prank, but the white girl music energy of "things are shit might as well ride it out" actually went hard and Robert listens to it while he works on really shitty days.
Robert has given Courtney rides in the Mech Suit so that she wouldn't be late for her latest job interview.
As you know, Robert is Punk cuz "It's Punk to Care," and Robert cares a lot. But Courtney is the one to actually gift and introduce Robert to Punk fashion. Make fun of her hot topic ass all you want, she singlehandedly filled Robert’s closest with clothes (and hid away those clothes when Robert started sell his precious belongings to keep up with mecha suit upkeep and repairs).
Mushy pep talks aside, living with Robert and hearing how he tries to help people every day actually infected Courtney with some Punk Care, too. Courtney is already a naturally aggravated person with the bad cards she's been dealt in life, but Robert gives pretty good advice on who/where to direct that aggravation and anger.
At Courtney’s request and promise to try her best at graduating high school, Robert trains/shows her how to parkour and fight scrappy-coked-up-feral-trash-animal style, with and without her powers.
Courtney is fully accustomed to Robert’s Guard-Dog brand of love (scary dog privileges) and is thus rarely insulted when he comes to her defense. Robert knows people can handle their own shit, he just doing the chore for them at the moment so they can relax.
And, of course, Courtney fully cheers Robert on in the middle of the Sardine Bar Fight whole she too is taking empty glass bottles to red rings' knees.
