All five girls sat on a circle on the carpet in their living room, deciding to talk instead of watching TV during dinner.

Deanna remembered something and got up, jogging over to the door and grabbing the shopping bag from earlier that day. She sat back down with a small smile on her face and plopped the bag on the floor in front of Carly

"I got you something," Deanna smiled softly. Eya, Riri, and Ivy all collectively 'awwww'-ed from their spots on the carpet.

"For me?" Carly asked, a small smile appearing on her face. Deanna nodded and Carly clapped her hands excitedly. "Open?"

"Go on," Deanna motioned to the bag. Carly giggled and pulled the bag into her lap, digging inside and pulling out the bright yellow hoodie Deanna had bought.

"Yellow!" Carly squealed. She immediately hugged the sweatshirt to her chest and smiled widely. "Thank you, you're welcome," she crawled over and tackled Deanna in a bone-crushing hug.

Deanna laughed, nearly falling backwards when Carly wrapped her arms around her. "You're welcome," she giggled. Carly pulled away and looked down at the hoodie, giggling excitedly before leaning in, cupping Deanna's face, and planting a kiss on her lips. This earned various "Yiiieee"  and "awww"  from their other three roommates.

"Damn," Eya raised her eyebrows at Deanna when Carly pulled away. Deanna's cheeks grew bright red when she saw all her roommate's eyes on her.

Carly stood up with the hoodie in her hands, peeling off her shirt with no shame and changing into the bright yellow sweatshirt.

"So... what are you guys?" Ivy asked, turning to Deanna while Carly got changed. Deanna bit her lip, unsure of how to answer the question. Before she could say anything, Carly beat her to it.

"Mine," Carly nodded once.

All of the other girls grew confused. Carly tugged the sweatshirt over her head and padded back over to Deanna, sitting down in her lap contently.

"Mine," Carly repeated, wrapping her arms around Deanna's neck and smiling widely. "My Didi."

Deanna's heart fluttered and she quietly wrapped her arms around Carly to keep her in her lap. "You heard her," Deanna nodded towards her roommates. "She's my Carly and I'm her Deanna." Carly giggled eagerly and hid her head in the crook of Deanna's neck.

Eya and Ivy both made gagging noises while Ridi smiled widely, pulling out her phone and snapping a picture of the two.

"Y'all are too cute, I'm gonna puke," Ivy groaned, sending a playful glare Deanna's way. The three roommates weren't used to Deanna being affectionate with anyone. It was a big change, but one that they considered monumental for the girl.

"Shut up," Deanna muttered, trying, but failing to hide her smile. Eya hopped to her feet to throw away her trash. Carly took that as a sign that dinner was over, and she grabbed the remote from the couch.

"Are we really going to watch Friends again?" Deanna laughed, raising an eyebrow at the girl in her lap. Carly nodded excitedly and picked another episode, focusing her eyes intently on the screen.

Four episodes of Friends and a bag of popcorn later, all five girls were exhausted. Deanna and Carly were the only ones still awake.

Carly yawned, turning over and smiling sleepily at Deanna. The older  girl couldn't help but lean down and kiss the smaller girl's forehead.

"You ready to go to bed?" Deanna said quietly, not wanting to wake her other roommates. Carly nodded and pried herself out of the older girl's grasp, shuffling towards the stairs. Deanna followed close behind.
