Comfort and Beanbags

(Anna)

“What about Fred?” Fraction says as he settles into his desk chair.

“Too…Harry Potter “I reply, trying to put the sofa cushions to a comfortable position. “What about Theo?”

“Too much like Leo. I love my wolf, but I don’t want to name my kid after him.” I give a little mhmm in agreement, these dang cushions are awful. “Little wolf, what are you doing to that sofa?” I stand back to admire my handy work. The sofa used to have six cushions on it, three on the base and three as back support, now it has three. Two on the base stacked on top of each other and one for back support. The rest of the sofa is just the frame.

“I’m trying to get comfortable “I tell Fraction while trying to make an ass print in the cushion pile. “It’s no good. You need a new sofa” I jump up again and start rearranging the cushions, “maybe one of those giant bean bags instead.”

“You want my men to sit on a giant bean bag?” He’s mocking me. I can hear the laughter in his voice.

“They wouldn’t dare sit in my beanbag.” He barks a laugh as we hear a knock on the door.

“Enter!” Fraction barks out, I watch as James pokes his head round the door. I chuckle as it’s quite comical, he’s clearly checking if it’s safe to come in.

“Sorry, I didn’t want to just walk in when I saw you and Luna come in alone.” I laugh harder as he walks into the room.

“James, call me Anna or I will be forced to tell Fraction what happened in the basement.” I turned to Fraction and winked, letting him know I’d tell him later anyway.

“As you wish, erm, where can I sit?” as he says this, I realise I have taken all the cushions off the sofa and now it’s just a frame. I throw my hands up in the air and start putting the cushions back.

“Anna, is in the middle of destroying the sofa, she said I have to get her a giant bean bag.” Fraction says texting on his phone. James helps me put the cushions back and he sits down, I do a sort of lean and squat and then give up. Comfort is not on my side today.
