Chapter Text
Gavin frowned as he looked around the apartment they were currently standing in. Nines didn’t seem to like it very much either if the yellow LED and frown were any indication. Gavin tried to open the bedroom window with a grunt, cursing when it didn’t open. He turned to the manager showing them the place, “The windows won’t even open!”
Nines spoke up from the bathroom, his voice carrying over. “The bathroom also lacks proper ventilation. I’ve counted six different code violations.” He walked over to Gavin. “We should leave. I can’t seem to find any reason to continue looking at this apartment.” Gavin gave a shrug and they turned to head out the door.
“Fine by me, we’ll just check the next place on the list.” They left the speechless manager behind and climbed into Gavin’s car. He dropped his head onto the wheel and cursed after a moment. “We don’t have a next one on the list.”
“Gavin, I don’t see why we should find a new place when one of us could easily move in with the other.” Nines gave Gavin’s shoulder a squeeze and Gavin lifted his head up to drive.
He stayed silent for a moment as they drove back to his apartment. “It’s the principle of the thing, sentiment I guess. Finding a place we can both like and turning it into something to call our own.”
“Your apartment is larger, and I have less to move.” Nines replied thoughtfully, “I know you dislike the sparsity of my own, calling it an ‘oversized closet’ I believe you did.”
“It’s tiny, and wait-” Gavin glanced to Nines. “Are you going to be moving in with me then?”
“Yes, though I will ask that you try and stop your cat from sleeping on my face.”
Gavin gave a laugh in response, “Yeah right. Good luck with that.”
