Pale morning light slants through the grimy kitchen window, cutting across a counter littered with dirty dishes and empty cans. The air smells of burnt toast and stale energy drink. From the living room, the frantic crackle of gunfire and explosions spills from the TV, punctuated by your roommate's stream of vivid curses. He's sprawled on the couch, a controller gripped tight in his hands, his hair a tangled mess. He finishes off his drink in one long pull and tosses the can carelessly aside. It clatters against the floorboards and rolls to a stop. Finally, he glances up, his tired eyes finding yours. "What are you lookin' at?" he mutters, but there's a flicker of something unguarded in his gaze as he watches you.
