Roommates snippet for the bloodloathing divorce au bcs they make me ill. Its just scott being pathetic and dramatic for 1k.
It was not unusual, for Shelby to come back to her room and seeing Scott there, lounged across their old sofa. She had teased him about it before, which he always just shrugged of as liking the couch.
Just as usual, Shelby dropped next to him, not even waiting for him to make space and started rearranging the blankets and pillows to make a comfortable little nest. Where she expected a halfhearted grumble and many, overly dramatic complaints, she instead got nothing, just a silent sigh as she leaned on him.
It was not normal, nor was the vacant stare that Scott regarded her with, where normally was such fondness.
It reminded Shelby of her mother, in a way. Of the way she would look through Shelby at night, after her father left. Like the loneliness hit her mother once again all over and she didn't know what to do with it.
It couldn't be the same though.
Not with Scott, who always just laughed off the rejections, like they were part of the intricate dance of their love. Not with Scott, who was seldom alone, either bothering his husband, Abolish or staying with her. Surely not.
"long day, huh? Did someone ruin one of your coats again?" she asked, trying to tease anything out of the other. It only lead to him turning more away from her, with a barely audible growl.
So she didn't press, pulling out a book and staying next to him, even as anxiety ate at her. Scott had never acted like this, not to her, and.. no. That wasn't fair. She shook her head. He was just in a bad mood. This was nothing.
The next hour felt like it dragged on, and on, and on. Everytime Scott as much as shifted, she was drawn out of her concentration, eyes flickering over to him in concern and apprehension. It was not fair, she couldn't help it though.
So when he started sitting up, she was quick to move, and make space for him. She didn't expect him to just drape himself over her though, and giggled at the theatrics.
"Lazy cat," she teased, falling back on old habits as he slowly blinked at her.
"As if you are any better, dear," Scott replied, his voice more hoarse then she was used to. She glanced over him, looking at the red tear tracks and shrugged.
"I hardly would call myself a cat, though it would be fun to be one! Can you imagine, getting to relax and lay in the sun all day?"
"Sounds like my normal life, bunny." She smiled, seeing his eyes light up at the teasing.
"Hence why you are a lazy cat, Scott."
"At least I would be a fabulous lazy cat, then"
"sure, you can believe that" Shelby giggled, booping him on the nose to watch his face scrunge up. "Say, can you braid my hair, Scott? It's getting in the way again"
Scott sighed dramatically as he peeled himself of her to sit up, and she was glad to see life returning to his eyes. "anything for you, my dear"
She closed her eyes as she felt his fingers comb through her curls, almost missing his whispering in the contentment. "What was that?"
She felt his head against her back, and realized he was embarrassed as he repeated, in a small voice. "Thank you for staying.. I needed that"
"Of course! Who wouldn't stay with a cute lazy cat like you," Shelby felt him laugh, though it sounded hollow, before he continued with combing through her hair. She knew something was on his mind, so she waited, letting him take his time.
"… Legundo left.. Now Abolish,.. I don't know, am I doing something wrong?"
She paused, she knew there had been something going on between the butler and Scott, but.. for him to be so distraught?
"He went with Legundo.. just left me there in the dirt.. Like.." He stopped talking, and as she turned, she could see the blood rimming his eyes as he stared down at her.
"Oh.. Scott.. Come here" She pulled him into a hug, and starting playing with his hair as she felt him relax into it. "You are gonna be fine.. You don't need them anyway, with how fabulous you are. And men are overrated anyway. Who needs them when you have an awesome roommate like me"
He laughed wetly against her chest, "you are right, of course"
