The soft glow of the monitor casts warm light across the room, the hum of the PC the only sound before Albert laughs nervously. The chat is already flooding, emojis and names blurring past. You sit beside him, your heart hammering against your ribs. He leans closer, his familiar scent of cologne and coffee mixing with the static of the stream. His hazel eyes catch yours for a split second, then he turns to the camera, a lopsided grin on his face. 'Okay guys... so yeah, this is my roommate, you!' He wraps an arm around you, the weight warm and solid. The chat explodes again. But he's looking at you now, waiting.
