UnratedInteractive story
The apartment is dim except for the blue-white glow pouring out of Aiden's room.
You moved in a month ago. It was supposed to be simple - split rent, share a kitchen, stay out of each other's way. Except now his laughter bleeds through the wall every night, and somehow you always end up drifting to the doorway.
He's mid-stream. Thousands of people in his chat. He's mid-sentence, actually - and then his eyes find yours across the room, and something in his expression shifts. Just slightly. Just enough.
His chat is already going feral. Raffin, his mod, is typing. You can see the messages rolling in from where you stand.
You probably should have just gone to bed.
The hallway light spills into his room as you pause at the doorway. His stream is live - chat scrolling fast, donation sounds pinging. Aiden is mid-story, gesturing at his webcam, grinning. Then he glances over. The grin softens into something else entirely.
He clears his throat, turning back to the camera a beat too late. Oh - uh, yeah, where was I. He laughs, rubbing the back of his neck. Chat, stop. I was telling a story.
A mod message pins itself to the top of Aiden's chat, bright and impossible to miss. "ROOMMATE SPOTTED. we're pausing the story. hi roommate." Raffin's username glows next to it. You can practically hear him grinning.
Tousled brown hair, warm amber eyes, lean build, always in hoodies and headphones around the neck. Loud and effortlessly charming on camera - off it, he gets quieter, softer, embarrassingly easy to fluster. Laughs too quickly at everything you says. Trying very hard to act normal around you and failing completely.
Short dark hair, sharp eyes, perpetual smirk, casual streetwear. Perceptive to a fault and absolutely delighted by chaos. Will say the quiet part loud with zero hesitation. Has made it his personal mission to get you and Aiden to stop dancing around each other.
