AS MUCH AS UMA WAS ENDLESSLY FOND of her parlor , it could truly get exhausting to do most of the chores by herself . beyond printing stencils & keeping her materials sterile , there were things as simple as sweeping the floor & scrubbing down the leather couches in the waiting space that felt tedious & sometimes even overwhelming given all of the other work she did ; this making mello a life saver of sorts . it wasn’t like uma didn’t compensate mihael for the help , but having an excuse to fuck around with her best friend while being moderately productive was a chance she couldn’t pass up . hearing the speakers chime in notification that someone had marched their way through the front door , broad smile broke her lips before uma even confirmed that it was who she hoped & expected it to be . it took a certain kind of person to open her up , just as she had found was the case for him / that was why , uma supposed , tolerance & amiability towards one another came so easy nowadays . ❝ s’at you , mel ? ❜ she called , carefully setting down a few of the needles she’d been unpacking & putting away . new stock had just been delivered , this meaning there was plenty of help to be needed . turning on her heel , pearly whites shone from beneath a grin that somehow widened even further upon spotting her newfound company . // @nectarlips , mihael keehl
