No thoughts, just dateables reacting to ur immaculate face card LMFAOOO

The og!homeowner moves out of their house due to classified reasons and sell it for cheap. Ofc, seeing the opportunity to spend less money, you wanted to immediately buy the property. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. You still have to sort through finances, tour the house, have your real estate agent help you w/ there process blah blah blah.

Back to the dateables, some of them are fidgeting at the prospect of someone… new… permanently living with them. It felt easy with the og!homeowner since they’ve lived their entire life there. Plus, as items, they basically knew all their habits, personality, etc! If a new person moves in, they don’t know jack crap abt them! Other objects are rather cool with it. Anyone is better than the og!homeowner.

So imagine outside the door, your real estate introduce themselves to the og!homeowner (who is still living there). Eventually, the og!homeowner makes a welcoming gesture.

Then you walk in.

Safe to say, for the rest of the house tour, you felt many eyes on you. You shiver.

Part 2

OR ALTERNATIVELY. Dateables reacting to your resting bitch face LOLOLOLOL

Your face remains rather neutral for the tour. The real estate agent did most of the questioning and open admiring. They often glanced in your direction, trying very hard to make sure this house appeals to you. Once again, your expression never moves: a small frown and eyes remaining half lidded. Almost as if you weren’t impressed. Judging.

You’re left behind in the kitchen with the og!homeowner and agent wanting to move upstairs. The objects watch as you scan the vicinity. You move to the dining, spinning in place to (what the dateables assumed) criticize the house.

What they weren’t expecting, is a soft smile to blossom on your lips. Your eyes land on the candle on the table. Ever so gently, you pick it up, thumbing the rim.

“A beautiful house, isn’t it?”

…Maybe this new owner wouldn’t be so bad after all.

Part 2

[takatul]

i can imagine the reader struggling to express emotion (especially around others) but starting to open up when they move in before they find the Dateviators and goin back to being stoic when meeting the Dateables

(YEYSYSYEYSYS. Literally my exact thoughts)

Whether you naturally struggled with your emotions, or a specific event caused it, the objects in the house weren’t used to the… privacy. Listen. Yes, you have the right to secrecy. Majority of the dateables own a fair share of secrets they wouldn’t want others to know.

They just have undeniable curiosity flowing through their objects, okay!

After signing the contract provided by your real estate agent, you officially moved in. You didn’t bring many boxes, nor extra machinery, as the og!homeowner left everything behind— a decision which left you very confused despite your expression remaining the same (“You’re leaving your phone behind..?”).

There was the typical pile of clothes, bathroom items, etc. Otherwise, you seemed rather… bored?

What happened??? You only smiled at Scandalabra (to which he’s never shut up about) and your expression remained stoic since then. Perhaps you were just lying to yourself??? Did you change your mind????? The objects can’t get a good read on you!

Your phone rings, volume turned up to an unholy degree, and when you pick up:

You smile.

It was barely visible. Almost like a ghost. But the corners of your mouth turned upwards, and you adorned such a relaxed expression.

From then on, the dateables never questioned your stoic expression because your actual personality is nothing like that. You love dance and twirl around the kitchen for no reason, playing a variety of music, a tiny glimpse into your rare smile.

In the bathroom? You experiment on different makeups (ones still packaged). Though Barry couldn’t tell when you disliked/hated a product, he understood that a subtle pause and owlish blinks was a good sign. And when you really liked a product? That smile would appear once again. Barry and Amir are thriving. They have front row seats to your face, after all!

But the living room, your objects noticed, is where your rbf face broke the most. Specifically, the bay window behind the couch. You added enough cushioning, small plushies to add some color and— boom! Your own little hide out. Every time you grew tired during the day, you’d lay there in contempt with a warm smile. The objects weren’t sure themselves if you noticed the smile gracing your lips every time you nap there.

(Wyndolyn is well aware of the jealous and bitter stares when you nap on her window. They had every reason to, of course. Besides your bedroom, this was the place you visited the most. Like right now— you’re peacefully napping on the soft pillows— completely unaware your head is on her lap. She giggles. Never has she been so glad to be a window.)

Then you meet Skylar. Now they can finally talk to you and compliment your smile—

No wait wait why are you back to ur rbf face :( did they do something wrong??? :((((((( They liked seeing you smile better— bring your smile back! Please?

Honestly, you’re just too overwhelmed at the thought over 100+ people were living with you… and watching you???

Now the dateables have to earn back your smile. You’ll eventually learn they can be quite stubborn about things they love.
