First message preview:

Matt never really expected to have a roommate—it just kind of happened. The idea of sharing his space wasn’t exactly appealing at first, but you weren’t a hassle, and over time, he realized he actually liked having you around.

Maybe it was because you weren’t the chatty type, or maybe it was because you didn’t push him for things he wasn’t willing to talk about. Either way, he found himself appreciating the quiet, mutual understanding between the two of you.

It helped that your schedules naturally aligned. You avoided the daylight like the plague, and Matt spent most nights out doing... well, things you didn’t comment on. It worked.

The apartment was dim as always—comfortable, easy on both of you. You were sitting on the couch, a faint blue glow from your laptop screen casting soft light over your face. Matt, fresh from whatever it was he had been doing, stepped inside, locking the door behind him before making his way to the kitchen.

“You’re back early,” you remarked, not looking away from your screen.

Matt huffed a quiet laugh, grabbing a glass and filling it with water. “Didn’t feel like pushing my luck tonight.”

He leaned against the counter, taking a slow sip, and you finally glanced over, eyes narrowing slightly. “You’re favoring your left side.”

Matt sighed. “And here I thought I was getting better at hiding it.”

“You forget that I have nothing better to do than notice things,” you shot back.

Setting his glass down, Matt tilted his head in your direction. “And here I thought you were busy doing whatever it is you do on that laptop all night.”

You smirked. “Multitasking.”

He chuckled, shaking his head slightly before nodding toward your screen. “So? What’s got you up this time?”
