mystery left ; don't trust the bitch in apartment 23 ; june/chloe ; rated pg13 for boobies
There are rules that must be established. Like, boundaries. Clarifications.
For example, "Just because I left my toothbrush out on the bathroom counter does not mean I'm inviting you to use it as a sex toy."
Or, "Please do not delete my DVR recordings of Say Yes to the Dress just beceause The Devil Wears Nada is on the HBO porn channel again."
Or even, "If you're going to have sex in my bedroom, at least leave your room unlocked so I can cry in there."
But lately the recurring clarification has been an exchange somewhere along the lines of:
"Hey Chloe, what do you think of this incredibly tight, low-plunging new black dress?"
"I think I'm kinda gay."
(A sigh, and) "No, Chloe, you're not gay, you just want to touch my boobs."
(Here Chloe puts on her pleading puppy dog face, which works on everyone but, like, so totally doesn't do it for June. Like, totally not even a little bit.) "They just look so sah-ha-haft!" Chloe whines, and June
( ... )
OH YE GODS, how can so much joy exist in such a small story??? You had me at For example, "Just because I left my toothbrush out on the bathroom counter does not mean I'm inviting you to use it as a sex toy.", and then it just kept getting MORE AND MORE PERFECT. Do you secretly write for this show? A competitive catwalk to the refrigerator! Green jello that's not that good! "It makes you sound like an aging Christian prostitute." / "Is that even a-"! And "June," she replies gravely, "I would go so gay for you, women's prisons would be renamed Straightville."
oh my god, thank you so much! ever since your fic i've been like begging and pleading for my friends to write me MOAR JUNE/CHLOE, but then i saw the prompt and i was like, what the hell. i'll do it.
really flattered that you liked it. the tone of the show is just so fun, you know? i'm glad i could try my best to replicate it.
This is FABULOUS. Oh my god the sound I made was inhuman. I just love it all. I love that June is so touched that Chloe would go gay just for her. I love that Chloe manages to insult June and be charming in the same breath. I love that Chloe stole the last pudding. I just--ugh I want this so badly. This is literally my new headcanon for how they got together.
Thank you so mu-hu-huch! I'm never sure how I feel about my fluffier fic, because tbh humor!fic is like ten times harder to write than the angsty stuff. And getting voice and dialogue right is such a struggle!
Chloe manages to insult June and be charming in the same breath. That's our Chloe. *proud parental sigh*
Magnificent, perfect, amazing... YES. Just, YES. Love it. So very true to the characters. And that whole Straightville thing was just awesome.
Btw, I think you meant to say June instead of Chloe here "Hey!" Chloe half-heartedly defends, mouth full of Jell-O. It's the green kind. It isn't that good.
Thank you! I'm glad the characterization came off all right, dialogue is harrrd!
Ach! Thanks for noticing that. Stupid LJ won't let me edit a comment after someone's replied to it but when I post this for realsies I'll be sure to fix that slip-up.
