ONE NIGHT STAND
morning guest
Morning sunlight crept into the messy apartment.
His eyes were barely open.
just as sleepy, leaning on Alex’s shoulder …
Alex
Ugh get away your breath stinks 😑
John
Yours is worse 😑 …and why are you even up this early? That’s not like you
Alex
blinks lazily I need to get ready for work, you idiot
John
🙂Oh really? What work do you have that I don’t know about?
Alex
I’ve been working since I was 19……
He suddenly pauses. Looks at John.
Both of them go silent…
Then—
Alex
I forgot… I’m jobless😂
Alex
HAHAHA I almost brushed my teeth because I thought I had a job 😭
John
I was like “work?” That’s not you at all 😂 we don’t even have jobs!
John
You almost fooled me, seriously
Alex
sniffs 🤧Anyway… go brush your teeth. Did you eat something dead in your dream?
John
Yours smells like something died too
John
Yo, I can’t stop laughing 😭
Their laughter slowly faded.
Alex
Our life is really a joke isn’t it….
Alex
Why are you so silent 😒
John
It’s good to see you so serious, it’s not like we don’t have the money we just don’t want to spend it now
Alex
😗yeah right that money is to much to just give out on rent like that it should be spend on clubbing
walks to the door and opens it
Camille
How are my cute babies doing? 😍
Alex quickly runs out of the kitchen.
Camille
Yes, your mother is here~ oh my cute little kitties, you both look even cuter today 🥰
She pulls them into a warm hug, patting their heads gently.
Alex and John glance at the bags she brought.
Camille
Hmm… you two smell so good 🤭
Both Alex and John lean in, rubbing their heads against her coat like cats.
She places the bags down—filled with snacks, clothes, and expensive treats.
John
Aunty, you’re the best 😭 I’ve been craving ice cream
Alex
side-eyes him Since when did she become your aunty?
John
When she brings food 😌
Camille
You two haven’t changed at all
Narration (Alex’s thoughts):
Alex
When I was just a month old, I was found in a basket by the riverside.
I was taken to an orphanage.
That’s where I met John.
At first… we hated each other
John
Omg I love this trouser I’ll take that one.
Alex
When we were three, he was the most annoying kid ever.
He would hit me on purpose.
Put his mucus on me.
And I hated dirty things.
I loved drawing… but he would copy me.
And fail badly.
His drawings were terrible.
So I made fun of him.
He made fun of me too.
We fought a lot.
Alex
But somehow…
We got closer.
Alex
When we turned five, we once played in the rain secretly.
It felt like the best day ever.
We forgot everything.
Even the fact that we had no parents.
Alex
Then…
I felt someone watching us.
She was tall. Beautiful. Black hair.
She looked… different.
As she walked closer—
She smiled.
John was scared.
We thought we were in trouble.
But she was just… kind.
Camille
Alex do you like this cap?
John
I picked it first, mother
Alex
The next day—
She came back.
And adopted us.
Camille look at them softly
Camille
You two were so small back then…
John
And now we’re still small 😌
Alex
She was rich.
Lonely.
But she took care of us like we were everything.
We started calling her “Mom.”
Alex
She never let us lack anything.
She even forbade us from working.
When we presented as omegas—
She was… happy.
Too happy.
Alex
she treat us like a rich pet owned by rich owner she was happy that we were omegas and said we going to have a cute babies like us and told us to check who we sleep with very well she have a knack of cute and pretty people she wanted us to date cute and pretty alpha and give birth to cute babies
Alex
We graduated at 20.
We were smart… but we also loved fun.
We dated alphas.
Played around.
But never took anything seriously. We don’t sleep around. John and I slept with alpha once in a year, we don’t like sleeping around with some random thing…Pff
Alex
Then we told her—
We wanted to move out.
Alex
She said she won’t support us anymore but she couldn’t do it it’s like abandoning your your favorites pet
Alex looks at them quietly
Alex
This is the only family I have.
The one I can’t lose.
Tears That Paid the Rent
Camille
What the hell is going on why haven’t you pay your rent
John
how did you even know? Did the landlord tell you?
Alex
Well… the thing is… I kinda lost the money you sent 😬
Camille

John

John quickly blows his nose like he’s about to cry 🤧
Camille

Camille
No, no, no—my sweet angel, don’t you dare cry!
Camille
Not you too! I can’t stand it when you both cry!
Camille
Don’t worry, I’ll send the money again
John secretly smirks at Alex
Alex
Thank you, mother 😭 you’re the best!
Camille
What I hate most is seeing you two sad. Don’t make me worry like that
Alex
You can just send it to the account…
Camille
Yes, I’ll send it right away—
Camille

John

Camille

Alex

Camille

After the chaos, Camille moved into the kitchen like she owned the place.
Camille

The smell of food filled the apartment.
For once—
It felt like home
Alex

After eating, Camille stood up, getting ready to leave.
Camille
I have to travel for a while… but I’ll come visit you both again
Camille
Awwn I don’t want to leave you guys🥹
She smiled softly, then leaned in—
Kiss

She walked out.
The door closed.
Silence filled the room again.
