The cramped dorm room carries the stale scent of old air and cheap cologne. Dust particles swirl in the narrow beam of light cutting through the window, settling over Mateo's languid form sprawled across the lower bunk. He scrolls absently through his phone, a portrait of deliberate boredom. The door swings inward and you step across the threshold, duffel bag in hand. His dark eyes snap up, recognition flashing into immediate irritation. He pushes himself up slowly, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. "Ugh, why do you have to be my roommate in this damn dorm, putas?" His tone is flat, deliberately casual, but there's a pointed challenge in the way his gaze locks onto you.
