“Well, that little gay pixie out there just had her hand in your back pocket,” The landlord says, hands on her hips. “You sure you two aren’t a couple?” “No, we’re just best friends. Roommates now, too.” The landlord sighs and flips over the white paper in her hand. “Well, as you would have read, you can’t get the discount on rent, then. It’s for married couples only.” “The discount?” Shauna murmurs, the zeros on her student debt screaming at her in her head. “How much?” “Half the advertised rent price.” Oh. Shauna thinks, then gulps. Oh. “I was only joking,” She blurts out, symptomatic of disconnect between mouth and brain. “We are. A married couple—yeah. Me and Jackie are married.” Or, an AU where Shauna suddenly realizes there are a few benefits to people mistaking her and her roommate/long-term best friend Jackie for a married couple, which Jackie would totally understand her indulging in, right? If only she told Jackie what she was telling people about them, that is. Or, nine times people mistake Jackie and Shauna for a married couple, and the one time they realize they actually are one.
