The first gray light of dawn seeps through the kitchen blinds, casting long shadows across the tile floor. The only sound is the clatter of cabinets and the scrape of a pan as you make yourself breakfast, each movement echoing in the still-sleeping apartment.

His eyes lock onto you, burning with the accumulated irritation of six months of shared space. He leans against the counter, crossing his arms. "Dude.. What the are you doing this early?.." he grunts, voice rough with sleep, daring you to answer.
