Living Together Novels & Stories

They had a lot to talk about concerning their living together. “Let’s just take it one day at a time.” She told herself and closed her eyes to sleep.

She gave me a tired look. “ That is why we are craving for a home. I use to think we're existing because we are here to live and die later. But I realized, living while dying is possible. No one seems to understand us the way we understand ourselves. It's crazy to think we can give comforts to others we wish we could give to ourselves.”

"You're living together?" "Of course, we live together. That's what couples do!" Sam strode over aggressively. "Why are you here? You're not welcome!"

"Living together implies a relationship," Hazel whispered fiercely, tears of overwhelming frustration burning the back of her eyes. She was terrified. She was terrified of the physical proximity, of waking up in his space every single day. "You said it yourself. No emotional attachment. No sharing a bed. If I move into the penthouse, it changes everything."

Some other couples were around ambling around with no real destination in mind. “No, you’re not. I am sure you could be if really provoked. So could I. that wasn’t what I was saying, Mitsu. Living with someone, sharing everything with another person that is kind of scary. That is complete trust, building on that and placing roots in a place it normally takes time and patience. We both jumped head first into this. We have a shared past without our lives ever touching now we are buying dishes together and other flatware planning on living together. You have us married in a month probably and little Akechi’s running around in ten months or so.”

I ventured, setting my glass down. "Of course." "Why do we need to stay together in your penthouse at all? We're already meeting regularly, and after the wedding, I'll be living with you at the estate anyway, according to the contract." Alexander turned to face me fully, his expression thoughtful. "It's about building a foundation. Getting comfortable with each other's presence, learning each other's habits." "We could do that without living together," I pointed out. "We could," he agreed. "But it would be less efficient. And less convincing."

"We like to live amongst each other, like a big family. Some people however, decide to move out for more privacy, especially when they find their significant other" That made sense. As much as it seems like they love being close to each other, some point in your life you're gonna want some sort of privacy. "So it's like an apartment complex then?" I asked, being that it seemed like the most reasonable term. "Something like that" He shrugged. Is this weird? Definitely. But I never criticized people's beliefs or ways of living. Everyone is different. Besides, if I had the chance to be a part of such a big 'family' and live together in such harmony, I would.

“Not your family. Not your best friend. No one. This agreement lives and dies between us.” I swallowed hard, my fingers tightening on the paper. Rule Four: Both parties will share living arrangements in the Anderson estate for the duration of the contract. Appearances must be maintained in public. In private, expectations are minimal. Two people forced to live together, nothing more. The words blurred for a moment as my mind tried to process what I was reading. Live with him. Under the same roof. For an entire year. I shut the folder halfway, shaking my head. “This is insane.”

Sarah, though, didn’t look satisfied. “Listen, sweetie,” she said to her brother. “That’s all great, OK? Those are things that you and Callie would do if you lived together. Day-to-day routine stuff, which is important… but living with someone else isn’t just about taking the bus and washing the plates. It’s – well. It’s about living together. Making a home with another person, not just inhabiting a house with one.” She paused. “You understand me, Noah?” “Yes. Can I try again to answer the question?”

Shawn whispered shocked. “Yeah, I know, commitment or what!?” he hissed sticking his fork into his sausage and taking a bite. “Would you move in with him?” “We’ve only just got back together!” “Not now, moron, I mean…when we move to college and if you guys are still together then you’d be in a relationship for over a year! One year, Jordan.” “It’s…still a little soon!” “You practically live at his apartment anyway!” “Whoa, hey now, living together is different,” he protested shaking his head at him. “It’s…living together!”
