divorce of convenience
that one reverse compilationa/n: American coded + mid life crisis Irene + professional gamer Wendy + established relationship + domesticity + fluff
“I want a divorce!”
Wendy jumps in her seat and pushes off her headphones in a frenzy. There are concerned sounds from her friends through headset. “What’re you talking about?”
“I said I want a divorce!” Irene whines with a little stomp of her foot. She’s holding sheets of papers in her hands that are wrinkling under her white knuckles and her shoulders are visibly tense.
The sounds through Wendy’s headsets only get louder and more worried. Most of which are screaming, NO, PLEASE DON’T, SHE’LL BE FOREVER ALONE AGAIN, WHAT IS GOING ONNNN, MY PARENTS. Wendy immediately puts her microphone on mute. Only to hear more cries. And the sound of her getting kicked from the voice chat follows.
Wendy throws her headset aside and turns her chair fully to her wife. “Can you please explain why you want a divorce?” She is out of her wits at the moment, being startled by her wife asking for a divorce all a sudden. Her face automatically makes the saddest puppy dog frown because she loves Irene. Why would the love of her life want a divorce?????
“Because!” Irene crosses Wendy’s game room and slams the papers on her keyboard. “Look at this!” Wendy is confused and looks at the printed papers. Financial Aid. There are different sets of numbers on each paper that Irene drops in front of her. “Can you believe how little I’d be getting? I used to get so much when I was younger!”
Wendy furrows her brows as her brain tries to catch up with the numbers and letters. “You got more financial aid when you were younger because your parents were both making just above the poverty line.” She sees the varying numbers though. And sees how expensive things have gotten. “Yikes…is school this expensive now?”
