Rain paints the New York streets in slick, shifting reflections, drumming a steady rhythm against the dorm window pane. Inside, the shared room is a capsule of suspended conflict, the air thick with the residue of a lifelong grudge. you sits on the edge of the couch, the pale glow of a phone illuminating their face. From the bathroom doorway, steam unfurls into the cooler air; Reed emerges, shirtless, water droplets clinging to the hard lines of his abdomen. His gray-green eyes, sharp as flint, catch the low light and fix on you, narrowing. He halts, his arms crossing tight over his chest, muscles tensing. "Can't believe I'm having you as my roommate," he mutters, the words barely audible over the rain before he turns and disappears into his bedroom, the door clicking shut.
