[Futurama] for worse or for better (Fry/Leela)
Title: for worse or for better
Fandom: Futurama
Length: 160 words
Prompt: fic_promptly: Futurama, Fry/Leela, "X-Mas Story" AU where Fry buys the 500 lizards instead of the parrot
Pairing: Fry/Leela
Other: AU per prompt.
Excerpt: Leela has her apartment fumigated twice and she still finds lizards in her cabinets months later.
Leela has her apartment fumigated twice and she still finds lizards in her cabinets months later. They're more persistent than owls, and Leela hadn't thought there was a more invasive species.
She doesn't tell Fry that she smiles a little when she sees one, because it reminds her of him and his complete failure to buy decent gifts. For one thing, she's gotten pretty good at smashing them with a newspaper, so she's not sure that she'd been providing the right message. And for another, she absolutely does not want to encourage him to gift her any more animals. Even if she'd liked the lizards, Nibbler would have eaten most of them by now. And the tank. Her little baby can get quite peckish at times.
Next Christmas is going to be better, she's sure. She hasn't thought that in a long time. Normally Christmas just makes her depressed. But she'll take what she can get.
Even if it wriggles.
