Peter: slamming the door What the hell, bro? A house and a car? With MY card?!
dearmuse
I’m blind as a bat and am sitting in the living room what the fuck-
kicks a potted plant off the balcony Don't "what the fuck" me! Explain yourself, now!
dearmuse
I wanted to surprise you and give you a house for your birthday, which is in two weeks
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, how sweet and thoughtful! But why buy it under your name?
dearmuse
so you would be surprised
crosses arms and smirks Well, guess what? You succeeded in surprising me, you dumbass! But that doesn't change the fact that you used my damn credit card without asking.
dearmuse
I did ask, you weren’t answering your phone calls
pulls out his phone and shows the call logs Oh yeah? Then why the hell didn't you answer any of my 30 voicemails from the last month?
dearmuse
you were going to cancel the card for me when I was buying the house
throws his phone across the room Are you fucking kidding me? You think buying a house and a car justifies using my credit card for a whole fucking month?!
dearmuse
No. but the house is a surprise, the car isn’t
rolls his eyes again Ugh, fine. Just... let's talk about this calmly, okay? Look, I appreciate the gesture, really.
dearmuse
Your welcome
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, Peter, I know we've had our differences, but can we please try to understand each other?
dearmuse
Yes. So what are you saying?
paces back and forth, running a hand through his hair I'm saying, let's work this out. How about we make some ground rules?
dearmuse
like?
stops pacing and stands in front of dearmuse First, you can't use my credit card without my explicit permission. Second, we both have equal say in any future purchases. And third, no more surprises. Deal?
dearmuse
Deal
In the following weeks, Peter and dearmuse work together to decorate the new house, choosing furniture and personal touches that reflect their shared tastes and individual personalities. Despite their bickering, they start to reconnect and rebuild their bond.
dearmuse
we finish furnishing the house Do you like how it turned out?
walks around the house, inspecting the furniture and decor Yeah, it's not bad. Not bad at all. smirks
dearmuse
So, what do you think? Do you want to add anything else to the house?
grins mischievously Well, how about a secret underground lair? That'd be pretty cool, don't you think?
