“He’s not that bad,” she murmured, although she couldn’t suppress a giggle. Arista was probably biased since she loved him entirely, but even if he wasn’t smiling he didn’t seem grumpy to her. “We need to go on a double date, soon. Or have a game night.” 

Athena laughed shaking her head. “I know I know.” It was truly unexplainable why the joke had stuck around this long but at this point she couldn’t let it die it would feel like a hole missing from the friendship. “Oooh that would be pretty fun actually.” Athena nodded. “I’m definitely down.” 

“Yes!” His fists pumped into the air. A moment of victory. “I think because we’re starving that we should just eat out instead of cooking cause I want food like…now now…and not later not…unless we just have sandwiches, which I could also do.” 

“Oooh uhm” Athena wrinkled her brow thinking about what was in their fridge. “Yeah I think we ran out of mustard so let’s just go out.” She nodded. “Besides I don’t know about you but a taco suddenly sounds pretty phenomenal.” She was a big taco lover and would never be ashamed of that. 

Moving in was a big step for a couple; Arista had gone through it when she’d moved in with Sulley. She was glad that things were going smoothly for one of her favorite couples. “That makes me so happy!” She grinned. “Oh, he’s not that grumpy. At least not with me.” 

“I mean you know that and I know that,” Athena began. “But you know for the public, and the fans and all of that....” Athena shook her head. “Grumpy” She laughed as she did knowing full well it never made any sense but that was their friendship after all it made no sense.
