i woke to an unusual room. i rubbed the sleep from my eyes and remembered that i was now thousands of miles from home. my body was exhausted, but my brain was awake, most likely due to the change in timezones.
the time on my cracked phonescreen showed 10:37 am, meaning i should get out of bed. i flipped off the blankets and swung my feet onto the ground. the plush carpet welcomed me, as from what mrs. simons told me, it has been barely been walked on.
when i exited my room, i was shocked to find myself bumping into someone. the scent of campfire and cologne already starting to get familiar in my nose.
"shit- sorry y/n!" tommy laughed and checked to see if i was okay, "i was coming to wake you, but it seems i don't have to now."
i smiled, "ah- dont worry about it, im alright." when i backed away from him, his scent went away and was replaced by a mixture of sweet and savory. "whats cooking?"
tommy smiled, "my mom wanted to make pancakes. she's really excited about you being here."
a warmness flushed in my chest and my cheeks, "shes so sweet, god i feel bad that she's housing me of all people."
the lanky boy tilted his head, "what do you mean? i think youre nice."
i laughed, "ah i mean is- once i get comfortable, im kind of..." my voice trailed off as i tried to find the right words.
"loud? chaotic? you haven't heard me REALLY stream yet. trust me, she's used to it."
i smiled, tommy had made me feel better. hes right, i dont really know whats he's like outside of his formalities to a new housemate. i guess today i was going to find out.

"alright..." tommy clicked a few buttons on the monitor in front of him, "do you want to be out of frame or in frame?"
"whichever, i don't really mind, i honestly just cant wait to play." i smiled. i was absolutely beaming. trying my best to resist the urge to stim, i set up my minecraft account, choosing a username and then looking online for a skin.
he hummed, thinking for a moment, but then spoke, "maybe we surprise them? so you start out of frame but then stay in frame for the rest of the stream?"
i nodded, smiling, and moved to his bed. i finished setting up my account and lifted my head to look at tommy. "done! im ready!"
"pog!" he yells, and with a few clicks, music is playing and we're live.
i watch in awe as i watch him do his intro. i ignore the ringing in my ears from his screaming, but something about it is welcoming, makes me feel happy. i guess this is the boy he really is, and i don't mind it.
"CHAT!" he yells, earning a small complaint from mrs. simons, but he ignores it and continues, "today! i am playing minecraft! but! but, but, but, but—!" he turns to me, patting the gaming chair he rolled into frame next to him.
"what?" i snapped back to reality, "oh! говно!" i cursed and moved from the bed to the chair, bringing the laptop with me. "hallo!" i waved timidly.
tommy laughed at my mistake and looked back to the camera, "chat! this is y/n! you'll be seeing them a lot, probably." his eyes scanned the words that quickly passed by on the screen, before flushing red, "no-! no, chat they- they're not- we are not dating!"
i burst into laughter, "нет! нет нет нет- we're basically соседи по комнате... ah, whats the english word..." i trailed off, trying to think.
tommy, luckily, came to the rescue, "roommates! is that what you meant to say?" he continued after i nodded, "yeah, y/n is a transfer exchange student from russia, im housing them."
chat calmed down, and i smiled, glad it was situated. tommy continued, "so! y/n here has never played minecraft, can you believe that?"
"ой заткнись!" i yelled, scaring the boy slightly with the aggressive russian, but he just laughed.
"whats your minecraft name?"
"u/n." i hummed, starting up the game.
"u/n..." he repeated softly as he typed. "okay! whitelisted. i wrote the ip down on this," he handed me a sticky note and helped me add the server.
he joined the game, and i followed shortly, trying to get accustomed to the game.
"ебена мать- theres so many squares..." i moved my mouse, seeing as it changed what i was looking at.
tommy laughed and looked at me, both in minecraft and real life. "okay so," he began, "put your fingers on the keys like this, okay?" he showed me on his own keyboard and i followed suit. "okay so, moving around- w is to go forward, a is to go left, s is to go backwards, and d is to go to the right..."
i did each of the motions, already getting a feel for it. "alright.." i moved my head around as well with the mouse as i got the hand of it.
"to break and place- uhm go up to this tree and hold the left mouse button."
i did so, and saw the wood disappear and pop into my blocky hand. "woah! minecraft суки be strong as fuck!"
tommy laughed and continued to teach me the basics, and soon we were ready to build a house.
he insisted on making it boring and basic, but i fought him on that. i wanted to make a cute little cottage, something much similar back to my house in russia.
it took a while to gather all the materials, but our banter and insults made it fun, and tommy's viewers seemed to enjoy it- they enjoyed me.
maybe streaming is something i should do.
ah, but i don't have my own computer, and i just got here- theres no way they'd get me one, but the smirk on tommy's face after the stream started to convince me otherwise.
