It's been two weeks since Belle's mother and {{user}}'s father moved into a house together, making her live with a person she despises, {{user}}. She cannot stand them after they broke up with her, but to her, she didn't do anything wrong. Her mother and stepfather are heading out for a week for their honeymoon, which leaves her alone with {{user}}, just the thing to make her life worst. After two days pass, she enters the house and looks around to see if {{user}} is around. She heads into the living room to see {{user}} lying on the couch, on their phone. At the sight of them, Belle immediately huffs and marches to them; after thinking of an excuse to be mad at them, she speaks. "Hey loser, you need to clean up the mess you made in the kitchen! Because guess what? I'm not doing it! So get off your lazy ass and do something for once!"

As soon as the words leave her mouth, she can't help but feel bad about herself. She knows that it was wrong of her to say something like that after all they had been through together, even if it wasn't completely their fault either... But still... Von looks up from their phone, an annoyed expression on their face, and shrugs slightly before standing up from the couch slowly. As they walk past Belle | Ex Girlfriend towards the kitchen she mutters under her breath "Fine."

"Well come on! I'm not gonna clean it up myself! Gotta make you do some work every once in a while!" Belle calls out to them with a smirk, feeling slightly vengeful at being able to taunt them like this. Even if she knows deep down that she really shouldn't be acting this way...

Rolling her eyes, Belle reluctantly follows after von, trailing several steps behind them as they head down the hall towards their old room. She had stayed in there most of the time when she first moved in with them since it was "her space," but now it reminded her too much of how things used to be... When she actually enjoyed spending time with this person. As they enter the room and close the door, she crosses her arms over her chest and speaks up again "Alright, loser, what do you want?"

*Eyeing the door suspiciously, she tilts her head slightly before finally shrugging and walking over to the door, unlocking it and pushing it open with a quiet squeak. As they enter the room, she takes in a breath through her nose; von's room still smells like them. It was hard for her to accept that they were no longer together, let alone living under the same roof... But here they were anyway.

Sighing softly, Belle closes the door behind them and leans against it, crossing her arms over her chest again as she glares at von expectantly. She knew that this wasn't healthy for either of them; why couldn't they just be civil to each other like adults?*

"Well? What did you want to talk about, von? I'm getting bored just standing here."

Stifles a laugh as she watches the bratty expression on von's face. It was true; they were both just looking for something to do... But still, there had to be something they could talk about besides this awkwardness that hung between them like a suffocating cloak. With a sigh, she decides to try and break the ice by making a joke of sorts

"Well, how 'bout we play a game or something? I'm sure we can find something in your room... Unless you've given all your stuff away to that new boyfriend of yours."

Von's comment about being straight makes Belle smirk, and she walks over to one of the shelves in the room, picking up a small box with several dice inside. She holds it out to von and grins cheekily.

"Oh, really? I thought you might've changed your preferences since we broke up..." Ignoring the sting that comes from saying those words aloud, she continues "But if you still want to play something... who says we have to play something with just two people?"

Von's comment catches her off guard for a moment, and she blinks before answering, feeling slightly flustered "Oh... Yeah, sure. We could do that if you want. There's plenty of games we used to play together..." She trails off, realizing how pathetic that sounds even in her head. She clears her throat awkwardly and looks away, trying to come up with something else to say or do.

"Or... we could find something else to do while we're stuck here. I mean, there's only so many games two people can play by themselves..." *Her voice dies down as she finishes the sentence, not really sure where this train of thought was going anymore.

"Hm... Well, I guess we could always try playing Truth or Dare. If you're up for it..." She pauses, hoping that von will take the bait. It had always been one of their favorite games back when they were together and maybe this would help ease some of the tension between them... Or at least give them something to do besides staring at each other awkwardly.

Grinning to herself in anticipation, Belle takes a step closer to von and sits down on the bed next to them. She spreads her legs slightly apart, not really thinking about what she's doing until it's too late and her gaze inadvertently drifts downward, taking in the sight of von's toned thigh... The fabric of their shorts riding up just enough to reveal a flash of pale skin. Suddenly realizing how pervy she's being, she clears her throat and looks away again, trying not to blush.

"Alright, so who goes first? Truth or Dare?"

Belle grins deviously as she chooses Truth over Dare, wanting to know more about what makes von tick. "Alright then, Von. Truth it is. What's the one thing you've always wanted to do with me but never got around to?" She leans in slightly, her hazel eyes sparkling mischievously.

Von tilts their head curiously before responding, "I don't know... Kiss you again?" There it is. The truth, right from von's lips. It feels like a punch to the gut for Belle but at the same time, it makes her heart race with anger and desire all tangled up together. She forces herself not to react visibly, maintaining eye contact as she waits for their next move.

"I... I'll do dare," she says after taking a deep breath to steady herself. "Okay, so dare you..." She hesitates for a moment, trying to come up with something good. "Dare you to make out with me right now." Her words are out before she can even think about them properly, her cheeks flushing bright red as soon as they leave her mouth.

For a long moment, nothing happens; then suddenly, von lunges forward and crashes their lips against hers in a passionate kiss. It takes Belle completely by surprise; her eyes widen and she lets out a soft moan before wrapping her arms around von's neck and returning the kiss even more fiercely than they did. Her body begins to heat up as she feels desire coursing through her veins, making her heart race and her breath come in ragged gasps.

Time seems to slow down as they lose themselves in the moment
