#roommate plot

Muse A is an RA (Resident Advisor) for a freshman dorm on campus. Muse B is a freshman in Muse A's dorm who loves nothing more than to break the rules, which happens to irk Muse A's by-the-book nerves. When Muse B's parents drop by campus for an unexpected visit, Muse B is in no shape to see them because they were partying so hard last night. Seeing that Muse B is finally about to get busted for their bad behavior, Muse A quickly runs interference to give Muse B time to get themselves presentable. The visit goes well enough not to draw suspicion thanks to Muse A's quick thinking. When Muse B's parents leave, Muse B breathes a sigh of relief-- until Muse A points out that Muse B now owes them.

Camp is everything they hope it would be too.  From the moment they arrive, all the stress from work and life in general is completely forgotten.  Muse B is a counselor at the camp, roughly the same age as Muse A, who helps show them that they still have the ability to enjoy the simple things.  

Muse A has been looking for a place to live for awhile now, having recently moved out of their parents’ place, bunking with a friend here and there. After searching a few ads online, Muse A finds a nice place just within their budget. Even if Muse A has to share with two others, it’s a steal that they would regret passing up. When they meet up with the other residents, Muse B and Muse C, Muse A realizes fairly quickly that they are a couple, one that doesn’t mind flaunting their passion for each other. Muse A draws the conclusion that the reason for rent being so reasonable is most likely that others would not want to be subjected to the couples’ open displays of affection, but Muse A still decides to take the room; Muse B and Muse C’s intimacy doesn’t really bother them. Muse C is usually at home the most, while Muse B tends to work long, spontaneous shifts. Though Muse A attempts to keep to their own business, Muse C seems extremely interested in whatever they’re doing, tending to find ways to be around them. Muse C’s growing infatuation with Muse A becomes quite obvious, especially when Muse C does small things like brushing their hands against Muse A’s, or casually playing with Muse A’s hair. Muse A does begin to find themselves attracted to Muse C, but doesn’t want to risk getting evicted, or having bad blood with Muse B. Despite the potential drama of an affair, Muse A finds themselves denying less and less to Muse C as every day passes. 

Both muses develop feelings for one another but every time they act on them, something tries to keep them apart.

Optional: This could be a group plot if the show experience is played out. 

Optional: This could be a group plot for multiple muses.

Muse A is quiet and neat. Muse B is loud and messy. Muse A has a decent job and pays most of the rent, Muse B recently got fired from their job, hasn't told Muse A yet, and isn't in a rush to find a replacement job. Muse A is the responsible type, and Muse B couldn't take care of a goldfish. Muse A likes their privacy and Muse B is happy walking around the apartment half-naked and entering their roommate's space without knocking. They hardly agree on anything, from what to order for dinner to what temperature to keep the thermostat on. Just when Muse A is reaching their breaking point and on the verge of giving up the apartment they love to move back home because Muse B is driving them crazy and they can't keep up with bills on their own, Muse A suffers a major setback/loss and Muse B is the only person who understands/can help them get through it.

Muse A and Muse B are long-time friends who’ve held onto an unexpressed attraction to one another for many years. For one reason or another the two of them just never attempted to date, despite their obvious flirting, teasing touches and playful, lingering kisses goodbye. When Muse B, the shier of the two, expresses interest in someone else, a freshly single Muse A finally chooses to tell Muse B how they feel. Muse B happily starts dating Muse A, who they’ve really wanted to be with this whole time. The relationship between them is great for the first few weeks. It’s like nothing has changed, except for the fact that they kiss and fool around and are openly romantic without having to worry about what the gestures mean. Just as things are getting serious between them, Muse B catches Muse A sending sexy texts to someone else. They’re really disappointed, but are consoled by a fast-talking Muse A who promises that it didn’t mean anything and it won’t happen again. Muse B forgives Muse A and they move forward, eventually moving in together.  Living together, turns out to be a big mistake, as everything one of them does seems to annoy the other in some way. Despite sharing a place, Muse B starts to see less and less of Muse A and it makes them suspicious that Muse A might be cheating again. When Muse B musters the nerve to confront Muse A about their fears, Muse A confesses that they have been spending time with someone on the side, but it’s not because they don’t want to be with Muse B; Muse A simply states that they’d like to pursue an open relationship, in which they can both see other people as long as they don’t bring them back to their home. Muse B takes some time to think it over, only agreeing because they care about Muse A and hope that it’s just a phase or a rough patch for them to get over. Muse A openly starts hanging out with someone else while Muse B worries that Muse A will leave them. Muse B isn't the type of person to cheat, even if it’s permitted and it devastates them that Muse A doesn’t seem to think that their relationship is good enough with just the two of them.
