Love Type Thing I1I Damn Sisters

"Everyone's shit clean? Novak you brushed your teeth right? WELL GODDAMNIT GO BRUSH THEM. Meagan, you did shower didn't you?" I decided it wasn't even worth responding to. So I stuck my tongue out. "You know what, just stay out of smelling distance. Ryan, don't speak. And fuck Meagan! Do something with that hair will you?"

I balled my fists and leaned into Novak. "One more and he's gettin' it."

"He's just excited about Ville coming back. Just wants everything to be perfect." Brandon smiled. I had one of those frequently occurring moments where I wasn't quite sure if he was just the world's biggest boob or he was being serious. "I think you'll like him."

"Like who?"

"Ville." He smiled, looking at me like I really oughta know who he is. Right then the doorbell rang. Bam snapped to attention, literally jumping off the ground and flung that goddamn door open like Jesus was on the otherside. For a moment, I thought it was Jesus. His hair was a bit shorter though. Once my eyes adjusted to the bright halo around him, I realized several things all at once.

First, he's fucking skinny as hell. Second, he's fucking gorgeous as hell. Third, he's most definitely Finnish. And four, he's probably taken.

Bam hugged him and the both of them seemed to refuse to let go. "I missed you!" Ville joked, poking Bam in the stomach. "You've gotten fat."

"You've gotten skinnier." Bam replied, patting his thigh. This was starting to creep me out. I whispered to Brandon that on three I was making a run for it. But Bam had to go and get my bored ass involved. "Ville! This is Sara's sister, Meagan. Meagan, my..well..let's leave it at friend, Ville Valo."

"Dude, your name is totally boss." I gushed, actually shaking his hand. I'm such a dork.

"And Bam isn't?" He asked almost offended.

I rolled my eyes. "You got that because you're just fucking clumsy and run into shit. Ville here's obviously Finnish, making his name far cooler than yours will ever be. You'll always be Brandon Cole to me anyway. I'm agreeing with Sara on that, it's what April and Phil named you, therefore that is your name. Anyroad, it's nice to meet you Ville, really, but I've got some squirrels that need to be neutered."

"Oh wow." Ville laughed. "You're just like him. I can see why Bam-" He stopped short, getting smacked in the head by both Bam and Brandon. "Okay, this head is not one of those clowns that pop back up. There's genius in here." He squinted up at his head, readjusting his blue beanie. "Don't fuck with the genius."

"Going now.." I mumbled, backing away and getting the fuck out of there. I spent most of the rest of the day cleaning. I'd made it my mission awhile back to get the house in order. The one thing I can't stand is a dirty house. And with all these guys living here, it was pretty fucking dirty. I was on my knees, scrubbing at the bathtub with a bright ass yellow sponge. Bam walked in, knocking on the door, only to announce his presence really. "Hey." I nodded, looking at him through the strands of my hair that had fallen out from the bun at the base of my neck.

"You're kind of obsessive with cleaning, aren't you?" He stood, leaning against the doorframe, his arms crossed looking down at me. He wasn't condescending for once though, or arrogant. He made some sort of effort to broadcast the fact that he had come here simply to talk with me and that he needed nothing here and could be a million other places instead.

I shrugged. "Just sort of used to being the one to do the chores, I guess."

"You know." He came in, sitting down on the sink, looking everywhere but my eyes. "None of us ever really got to know you."

"No." I shook my head, turning around to sit and picking at little pieces of the sponge. "Brandon and Jess know me pretty well. You've just," I winced, trying to find a way to make it sound less harsh that it was coming out. But I knew I'd fail. "never bothered to ask."

"I didn't think you'd answer." He muttered, looking away from me and pushing a hand through his hair.

I shrugged again, looking up at him. "Ask away."
