I step in, the hood, cap, and mask still on. I'm thankful it's on because they can't see how dumbfounded my face looks right now. The penthouse was huge, it was located on the top floor and only people with private access cards could come here, the security was high, but that's all the other stuff.

There was a fully equipped open kitchen with the newest equipment. I'm sure Zee is going to cook a lot of delicious healthy food for me there, and I already see myself sneakily coming to the fridge at night to grab a coke. The living room had a huge U-shaped brown couch in the middle, and a huge black coffee table right in front of it. The couch was facing a huge LED TV and I noticed speakers installed in the walls around the living room. I imagine us watching the shows and series he acts in, on that TV, occasionally a random movie or two while we cuddle closer. The whole room was bright as hell, compared to my condo it was the brightest, the sunlight completely spread across the whole place. The windows were made out of glass fully, it started from the floor and led all the way up to the roof which looked like 20ft at least, the view outside was even better, I could see the skyline and I can't wait to see the sun sink behind those building and the lights in windows of all those skyscrapers light up and illuminate the night sky. I look around and I notice stairs leading up to another floor, and I see four doors, next to each other, I figured those are rooms.

"Come, I can't wait to show you the rooms" Zee dragged me up the stairs, and Day show off the paintings on the wall to Hwahwa which is actually done by Hwahwa, those paintings contain mine and Zee's faces, I can't believe it, I'm cute in those too, why can't I be handsome?.

We walk up the stairs and stand on the balcony, which gives the whole top-angle view of the living room and kitchen. The room, in the end, is where Zee decided to take me first, he opened the room to reveal a master bedroom, this room by itself is the size of my whole condo, the bed is big to fit both of us easily and the windows are made out of glass here too, the sun will directly fall on our faces in the morning. An attached bathroom, with bathtub, vanity, and whatnot.

I look at myself in the mirror, when Zee wears a white dress shirt with blue jeans I'm fully covered in black from head to toe, he hugs me from behind and rests his chin on my shoulder, and squishes me.

"I've been looking for the best place for us, I saw this place and I couldn't imagine a better place. I actually love your condo, it's small and it's compact, making us even closer, but you kept complaining and I figured we need our own space as well. Do you like it?" He asks

I remove my hood, cap, and mask, I place them on the vanity and the lighting here is freaking amazing, Zee is as beautiful as ever but the light compliments his sharp features. As for me, I look good too, cute to be precise. looking at Zee clinging on to me like this, I feel like we are meant to be together. And I smiled, he looked at me in the mirror and his expression changed, he looked at me admiringly with full of love and affection.

"I like it," I say, he lets me go and turns me around to give just a chaste kiss on my lips, I return it but before this could get heated, I push him by his chest, our bodies still close "what do you mean by 'we need our own space'?"

He smiled widely and said, "wait till you check out the other rooms." Saying that he dragged me by my hand and took me to the next room, he opened it to reveal a whole room made into a walk-in closet. "This room has doors from both sides, the way we came from and from inside our room" it was filled with clothes and shoes, I knew he was crazy about shoes, he had plenty of it stacked back in my condo, but this was much more, I'm guessing he bought everything that belongs to him from his parent's house. Half of the wall on the right side belongs to me I guess, it is filled with plain and neutral-colored hoodies and T-shirts, I explore to see all the most comfortable-est clothes ever. Zee definitely knows what I like. I noticed that he also has some workout equipment here, I could only think about how he only used to do push-ups back in the condo and walk around showing off sweat glistening shirtless body.

"Is this what you meant by 'our own space'? Well, I will read my scripts here instead of keeping the lights on throughout the night like how I used to do in our condo, I have a comfortable chair here and you know me staying around shoes and clothes calms me down in a way" he says

I knew that very well, he is weird in that way. "So... This is your space?"

"Well, both of ours... Just like how the next room is going to be"

"What is the next room?"

He smiles even more widely and says "it's going to be your favorite trust me"

He takes me there and I think I'm gonna die. The room was dark, illuminated by LED lights, just like the condo, but it wasn't cramped and there were only the best of the best computers here. To top that, I saw a bean bag facing a huge TV and I figured it was a game console. I think I'm gonna cry, I think I'm in love with Zee? With the room? I'm not sure, but this is amazing, I want to jump, but nooo, that will be embarrassing. I was only clutching my hand tighter on Zee's biceps, he saw my open mouth and an amazed face and he chuckled. "You like it"

I shut my mouth and gulped, these stuff were more advanced than what I had at home. All this is just too damn expensive, how did he manage to buy all of this. "Zee... How did you do?"

"If you're gonna ask me how I could afford all this, the house is on a lease, for 5 years, I had some money saved from my previous jobs, and also I keep getting sponsors and modeling projects, no major acting role yet, but thanks to the fan site I might land the main lead role soon enough. Everything in the previous room is stuff I bought from my parent's house and all this... Is stuff from your fan"

"Huh?"

"Day... Your boss, I asked him about how to give you the greatest surprise, he said that nothing would make you feel better than being the best and for that, you need to have the best, I figured it was too expensive, but he just offered to buy it all for you. I swear I insisted he doesn't do that, but he said he was seeing more profits because of the demo of strike 101 Nile tech launched and he said all that wouldn't have been possible without his idol, so he wanted to do something for the Geek God."

"But..."

"If you decide to get angry at me for letting him do that, please don't be angry with me, I swear it was all his doing, I took care only of the interior, I thought we could shift the computer you have at home here, it was all his doing"

"Well..." I looked around, it wasn't all bad to receive gifts from fans right? "This isn't bad, so I won't be angry"

"Huh... Thank goodness, I can't wait to play games here with you"

About playing games together, we try to kill each other a lot in games, that's our way of venting out our anger with each other, it may seem toxic, but that's the way we bond. He thinks that he gives in by giving me a good fight, but he will never know that I give in by letting him win every time.

The sun was setting, all four of us enjoyed the view, Hwahwa, and Zee cooked while Day and I played games. We had dinner and I openly smiled as I was having fun and I felt comfortable around this lot. Zee and I slept in our room while Hwahwa and Day took the final room which was meant for guests, but I don't think we will be having guests over except for them.
