Back when Yuri was a child, Mr. Allen had this house built when he first discovered an advertisement for the island, since he didn't have the time or the energy to look around at existing houses there. Because it's so new, it has a fresh, clean quality to it. The two story, three bedroom house is modeled after the one his late wife always wanted to buy. Because he only lived there sporadically, he left the house very sparsely decorated, and he left most of the household decorating and other matters to an NPC housekeeper he had hired. However, when Yuri was seventeen, he remarried, and gave her the house once she was old enough. Even though it's entirely hers now, she has done very little to personalize it, choosing to keep things the way they were out of convenience. It's an immensely large place for just one person, but thankfully, for Yuri's sake, June often comes to spend the night.
The master bedroom on the second floor houses Mr. Allen's bedroom, now turned into a guest room. Across from that is Yuri's bedroom, which was originally intended to be the guest room, and had remained completely empty until Yuri took it as her own. Down the hall is her childhood bedroom, virtually left untouched.
Walking down the stairs to the first floor takes you to the entryway. From the front door, the living room is to the right, and the kitchen is to the left. The living room connects to what was once Mr. Allen's office, where he spent the most time when he was home. There's a fold out couch in there, and it acts as a second guest room.
In addition to the two floors is the basement, which is mostly empty, except for a TV, some old couches, and a pool table, and the attic. The attic is filled with the late Mrs. Allen's belongings, including things she inherited when her own parents passed away. As a child, Yuri enjoyed spending her time going through her mother's old things, even though it wasn't allowed.

For years, White Day was the kind of festival that Yuri preferred to scoff at, rather than participate. Who would actually pay money to possibly end up with some creep? No, she wasn't so desperate that she'd leave her fate up to chance. But actually, turns out she was. So much, in fact, that she spent all of her monthly fun money on this stupid contest. She couldn't tell June, he'd never let her live it down. Just thinking of it was enough to make her uncomfortably self-conscious. Hopefully, this would turn out well. She didn't know this Isaac guy, but... it sounded a little familiar. Maybe he had come into the shop at some point? She couldn't remember. In the meantime, while she waited for this Isaac guy, she sat on her couch, fidgeting with the bottom of her blouse. Usually she was the type who preferred being approached, not the other way around. Initiating a meeting like this was out of her comfort zone.

  -Isaac Kidd-
As far as Isaac could tell… This would be weird. Yuri, he knew that name… but from where? A few weeks ago he’d probably remember the name right off the bat, but he had been going to school lately and he had been busy… The boy was barely spending time at the shop and Leon had been busy himself so there was little time to talk. So here he was, wondering why he had signed up for this event in the first place. Now that he looked at his outfit, he probably could’ve done better but… it was cold? Isaac shrugged to himself at his choice of wear and knocked on the door three times, hoping the door would open soon so he wouldn’t be cold. It was such a weird thing to be in a place where it actually snowed... It wasn't bad, on the contrary, but it was new to just live there.

 Another lovely day off from work, and June had decided to spend it out and about the town. He liked to venture around the island, though it had really lost all it's luster after living here for so long. Which is why he filled his time with more stimulating activities. Today's activity? Bugging the beautiful and feisty Yuri. The blonde never got why he had decided to make friends with the goody two shoes gone wanna-be bad girl, yet here he was in front of her house, unlocking the door with the spare he knew how to get and waltzing into the big quiet house. He didn't actually know if the girl was there or not, she could easily be at work, or with friends, or something. He just wanted to see for himself regardless. If she wasn't here, he'd move on. If she was... Well he had something to entertain himself with. He stepped further into the house and took in a deep breath. "Hey, if your home come entertain me!" He didn't have to specify who was here, there was only one occupant, "Maybe cook something too." June was rather hungry. Maybe he should have stopped to eat before he came...

"June?" Yuri asked as she emerged from the staircase leading to the basement. She felt a little silly for questioning who was there. Who else could it be? The housekeeper she still used didn't have a voice that masculine -- if you could even call the blonde masculine -- and no one else ever really came by. "Oh, it is you." She sounded a little disappointed as she adjusted the laundry basket she held up against her hip. It was filled with folded up socks and blouses. She was glad they were just clean and not dirty. "Why do I have to cook? You're a grown man, supposedly, you should be able to navigate a stove." She slipped past him in the hallway and headed up the stairs. He could follow if he liked, but she wasn't going to entertain him like he was a guest or anything. Guests rang the doorbell. She headed over to her room and sat crosslegged on the floor, opening the bottom drawer and dumping the socks into it. "Intruders don't get food for nothing!" she yelled. The house was big, but it was empty, too, so if the doors were open and it was quiet, a person's voice could echo down to the first floor easily. "You know the rules. Come help me, and then we can talk about food."

Ah, what a lovely young lady. So elegant. So refined. So beautiful. "So much of a pain in the a**," June said to himself as he roughly ascended the stairs, pounding each stair with his feet. Really, Yuri was always such a hassle. Do work? The blonde was here because he had no work, like hell he was going to help his friend do her chores on his day off. Though, that didn't mean he wouldn't watch. "Help huh?" He commented as he reached the woman's bedroom, "So I can rummage through your drawers?" He walked a bit into the room to stand above the girl. She was looking quite boring today. Well, there was no way Yuri could stand to be dressed up all the time. She hated it when she was younger after all. June examined what she was doing, not sure why, but he really had nothing else to do. "No underwear today?" He asked obviously inappropriately, though in a June like manner, "That's pretty boring." He clicked his teeth with the comment. It's not like he hadn't seen them before. But, he needed something to keep him entertained. Unfortunately, teasing will have to suffice.

Her dark hair was tied up into a loose bun on the top of her head, and she reached up to touch her bare neck. She tried to pass it off as checking the stray hairs, but in reality, she was trying to relieve the prickling sensation as her skin began to heat up. "Don't be a creep," she answered brusquely, peering at him pointedly before shoving the sock drawer closed. "Sorry to disappoint, but you'll live. Here," she picked up a folded bottom sheet and held it out to June. "Put this on the bed, okay? That's all I need from you," she smiled brightly, which was a little tricky considering she was also lightly biting the inside of her bottom lip. "If you didn't want to work, then why else would you come by?" she asked, feigning innocence.

Now, June wasn't intel- Caring enough to notice that Yuri was just a tad bit uncomfortable with his comment. Really, to him he hadn't said anything out of line. But, that could have been Mac's influence. He had a very... Foul mouth after all. Maybe it had rubbed off on the blonde a bit. And it was going to keep going. "I ain't a creep," He almost immediately retorted, "Your the one biting your lip at me." He spoke very bluntly as he grabbed the sheet. Really, she was such a strange person, "Or are you just constipated?" Probably not the best question to ask a girl, yet June didn't care. He tossed the sheets on the bed haphazardly and slammed his body down on top of them. He rolled over on the bed to stare at the ceiling as he listened for Yuri's response. Maybe she'd have a fit? They used to bug him as a kid, but as he grew older the girl's little episodes became increasingly entertaining. "You should probably take a pill or something if you are," That was a considerate thing to say, right? The man really had no idea what was and wasn't any more really.

And yet, she found herself in the kitchen. Yuri let out a strangled, frustrated noise before retreating quickly from the kitchen and instead descending down into the basement. She beelined for the dryer and yanked out the lint trap. And she stood there, tearing at the lint as if it was a proxy for June, and mumbled angrily to herself. "Stupid... June...! So... frustrating... Rude... Who... says something... like that? ...For godssake!"

Yuri really reacted just as June expected really. To the T, actually. He sighed as she stormed out unreasonably, I mean she had to know it wasn't meant to be hurtful... Or whatever. He was just playing around. Though, he liked the reaction. It always brought on a chuckle, like it was doing now. And after his little snickering fit calmed down, he rolled out of his friend's bed and headed down stairs. The blonde made his way to the laundry room with an over exaggerated knock on the door frame. "I'm sorry so cook me something," He said still holding back a smirk. He was failing miserably at it. Actually he broke into a snicker once more before stepping into the room and resting his hands on Yuri's soldiers. He massaged them a bit before pulling her back far enough that his chest barely touched her back, "Come on, get to it." Again he took on his bossy tone, even linking his arm with her and dragging her towards the kitchen. He really should think about what he was doing more. However... Being impulsive was in his nature. Plus, it was just easier this way. "I'll even keep you company while you do it," If that was some kind of reward.

She didn't say anything or move at all when June came over, and she still had a rather tight grip on the decimated lint and the plastic lint trap. He just didn't learn, did he? She shut her eyes and inhaled through her nose sharply. She could control the impulse to get mad and violent. Obviously storming out and telling him to ******** himself wasn't effective, and she just didn't have the energy to try any other strategies. It was laundry day, for ******** sake, it was supposed to be a low key day. "You really need to learn to think before you open your mouth," she said finally, shifting her shoulders a little bit away from June's ticklish touch. She just had enough time to return the lint trap to its slot before she was pulled away. Her fist was still filled with lint. "Okay, okay, OKAY," she mumbled, yanking herself free. She dumped the lint in the waste basket by the door and flicked the remaining dust at June. "Gee, so generous," she retorted sarcastically. With a small sigh, she placed her hands on her hips and scratched the back of her calf with her toe. It looked like it was going to be another day she didn't get to win.
"...Okay, fine," Yuri said after a moment. "You're lucky I'm hungry. But I'm going to make what I want, and if you don't like it, then tough. Got it?" She looked at him pointedly before turning on her heel to wash her hands and get the ingredients for food. She complained and she didn't like how he talked to her, but deep down, she was a little glad. Eating alone all the time was lonely.

Nice, a good reaction. June grinned as he followed her down into the kitchen. Yuri was so easy to play around with. Though... She did snap easily, leading to some losses on the blonde's part. But, today was a win. "Don't be so shy~" He said sarcastically as he leaned onto the nearest counter and watched his pal get to cooking. The girl was virtually useless at housework when they were kids, yet now she could handle herself. However, living by yourself did that, even June knew his way around the kitchen in recent days, didn't mean he liked to though. "You know you love doing stuff for me," She had to, "I mean you always do." She was never happy about it, but she always kept up with him. The man never really thought on the whys though, wasn't worth it. Yuri did what she did, and June let it happen. The dynamic was good enough to not change it. Although... June wasn't so mean as to not throw his friend a bone now and again. He liked Yuri, so he made sure he wasn't... June all the time. "Next time it's on me," The time never comes though.

Soon enough, Yuri was done cooking, and she divided cooked pasta with sauce and red peppers onto two plates. The serving on the plate she held onto was notably larger than the one she left on the counter for June to take. "Take it if you'd like, you know where the silverware is." And with that, she brushed past and headed back to the basement, where she plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV down there. She never ate in the living room, so the basement functioned as a dining room of sorts. For her, at least.

June just nodded along as Yuri spoke and spoke and spoke and spoke and spoke. And the blonde made sure not to listen to any of it. If he listened to all of it, well, it would have definitely put him to sleep. Instead he let little thoughts pop into his head as he stared at the girls eyes to look like he was indeed absorbing what she was saying. And when she was done, the man gave her a smile and made his way to the pot. Since he had already grabbed a fork, June just stabbed it in and began eating right from the source. He watched the woman walk away, however he felt it best for him to stay behind. The blonde really just wanted to eat after all, whether or not Yuri was there. It didn't take long for the 'starving artist' to finish up his meal and throw the fork into the sink, and it took even less for him to make his way to the stairs of the basement. Although, instead of going down to join his friend, "Thanks for the grub." His call was followed by footsteps toward the front door and an inevitable slamming of the door. June yawned as he began to walk off the Allen property, once again paying no respect to the woman who often took care of him. Well... Minus a sign on the door stating, -Don't make plans for Saturday--Exit June-
