RP Sample: Karen managed to get the first box into the apartment, thankful that this place at least had an elevator. She shoved it up against one wall and looked around for a moment. It was a pretty decent place. She'd certainly lived in worse. She ran her fingers through her hair and decided that it needed to be put back into a ponytail before she did any more lifting of anything.
Matt entered not long after her, carrying more boxes. He set them down on the floor and said, 'Thank god it's not summer, and thank god for that elevator.' Josh entered and set the boxes down in the slowly growing pile along the wall. 'And thank god you're stronger than you look, skinny,' he teased her.
Karen chuckled. "I work out." She smirked, flexing her muscles. She pulled a pony tail holder out of her pocket and made quick work of putting her hair up before she started out the door. "Come on, boys, we have a few more boxes to go."
'Aaand I'm now hearing "Sexy and I Know It" in my head,' he laughed. He smacked Josh's ass and they headed back outside. Thankfully they didn't have to deal with her furniture. Matt tried to gauge which boxes weighed what. The heaviest went to Josh, who was strongest. 'So you're totally still going to cuddle with me like the "olden days" right?' he asked, grinning.
"I am sexy." She grinned, checking the labels on the boxes before picking one that said "kitchen". She gave him a warm smile. "Of course I am! That will never change, sweetie." She stopped long enough to kiss his cheek as she walked past him. "That one can join us, too." She blatantly checked out Josh, winking at him before laughing and going inside.
Matt laughed. 'Yes you are sexy. Even when you had to wear that little school girl uniform,' he smirked. He laughed when she said Josh could join them. 'No hitting on my boyfriend!' he calld pre-emptively. 'Checking him out is okay though' He adjusted the boxes and leaned over to kiss Josh. He set the boxes down and sighed. 'You are buying pizza after this, right love?'
Karen was busy rearranging some of the boxes, having not bothered to check the labels on them for the first trip. "Anything you want, baby cakes." She grinned. "And I'll hit on your boyfriend if I want because I know it won't get me anywhere." She laughed. "One more trip should do us, I think."
Matt rolled his eyes at her reply and laughed as Josh blushed. 'This is true,' he admitted. He followed her out of the apartment down to the car park. Soon, between the three of them, they had the last of the boxes. Matt sighed in relief. 'I'm glad you're not a typi--STEREOtypical girl who hoards things,' he said.
"That's right you correct yourself." She slapped his arm lightly. "I just never really saw the point. Though I do have one box for just shoes." She chuckled. "Thank you both for helping me. I'll get the pizza ordered. Just pick a box and have a seat."
Matt grinned at the slap. 'Domestic violence help!' he laughed. He set the boxes down and sprawled out on the floor, patting the spot next to him for Josh who joined him and lay his head on Matt's chest. 'Hmm. If I uddle with you both, can I call you my harem?' he asked, smirking
"Absolutely." She nodded as she dialed the number for the pizza place. "The usual, right? Josh, you want anything special?"
'Yes thank you,' Matt said. Josh, eyes closed, relaxing against Matt, just smiled and said, 'Just pepperoni please.' Matt smirked. 'He's so ~boring with his pizza,' he teased, lifting his head to kiss Josh's temple.
"If you two don't stop being so fucking adorable I'm going to need an insulin shot." She shook her head, then blushed and talked into the phone. "Sorry." She then placed the order, adding some new dessert that the restaurant was offering and hung up. "Food'll be here in half an hour. I've got beer or water to drink right now, or I can call back and add soda."
Matt stuck his tongue out at Karen. 'We are fucking adorable. Because... we are fucking adorable,' he said. 'Shut up, that TOTALLY made sense!' He ran his fingers through Josh's hair. 'I'm good with water.' Josh nodded his agreement and reached up linking his fingers with Matt's. 'I'll need to send you a postcard from Aruba. Every day. WIth just the weather on it,' he teased.
She sighed heavily. "You would do that just to be a bitch." She laughed. It didn't take long to get glasses of water for all of them, bringing them into the living room and sitting on the floor. "Tomorrow is not going to come too soon." She shook her head. "I miss chairs."
'Of course I would. Maybe not. Maybe every other day instead,' he said grinning. He took the glass of water from her and sighed as Josh sat up, taking his. 'Is tomorrow when you're furniture is coming?' he asked. He never could keep dates straight in his head.
She nodded. "Yup. Well, most of it. The bed had to be special ordered so it's not coming until Thursday. I can sleep on the couch until then, though." She shrugged, sipping her water. "Could I talk you into helping me unpack too?" She batted her eyelashes.
Matt shook his head. 'And what, you're sleeoing on the floor tonight?' he asked raising an eyebrow. 'And I SUPPOSE,' he said with a great heaving sigh, acting terribly put upon, though he was smirking. 'Some stuff. But I'm not touching your shoes.'
"I don't trust you with my shoes." She laughed. "I do have a sleeping bag in one of these boxes. I can do one night on the floor." She sipped her water again.
Matt nodded. 'All right. If you decide you need a bed just ask. I do have a spare room.' He could sleep on the floor if he HAD to, but only if all other options had been exhausted. He had never had much interesing in "roughing it".
"I know, sweetie, and I really do appreciate it." She shifted so that she could kiss his cheek.
