"i thought you were a guy, that's why we even answered your craigslist offer!"
"well i look like a little boy so i think that's good enough, am i right?"

"so that's how i singlehandedly made things ten times awkward than it already was." i conclude, my body placed on the hood of my car when my eyes stay glued on the man beside me. a sigh even escapes my lips when i run fingers through my hair. "so do you think you want a roommate?" i question causing the man to pick his head up. his exterior being filled with stains of unknown kinds, his beard scruffy and a beanie with multiple holes had been put on the top of his head.
"you do know i'm homeless, right?" he informs as i smile faintly as i begin to nod in response to his words. my arms going to cross over my chest when i look down at my lap.
"yeah but i can get us a really nice box and i also just think it would be better because well we haven't had sex or kissed one another, you know?" i ramble on as he raises a brow when pushing himself up, gives me one last look as he shakes his head. his presence soon disappears when i groan softly, my head thrown back when i do this. "fine i didn't need you anyways." i holler out, immediately regretting that as i begin to shake my head.
"i'm just kidding, have a nice day dave!" i state before removing myself from the seat of my car when i slowly amble back to the highest floor of this apartment. my head hung low when i step inside and ride the elevator to the home. yet, as soon as my hand had pulled on the handle i felt the regret of being back so soon when i open it. my vision being accompanied by the familiarity of the place.
i had been staying at lana's apartment for the week in hopes of some space doing us some justsice. however that does not seem to be case as i had already felt my heart drop when one of them walk out their room and into the living room where he rubs his eyes. his sleepy face being replaced with a timid smile as he stops in his tracks. "hey you're back." he points out the obvious when i nod grinning in his direction.
"yeah, home bound." i get out awkwardly as he makes his way toward me when grayson hugs me. it lets me stand there, not reciprocating the hug as i resemble a raw piece of noodle when i widen my eyes. grayson can notice this when he pulls apart and smiles nervously.
"that was weird, i'm sorry. i just have to get use to this all." he tells when i nod along, feeling this wave of uncomfortably rush over me in a way i felt would never disappear. yet that couldn't help but be added on when he had also made his way down the hallway. but only this time, the man had gazed for a second when looking away within that moment. his body flies past me when i frown felling a sigh overcome me. because i knew why his actions were cold and not as understanding as the man in front of me.
ethan was hurt, strongly disagreed with my opinion of staying friends. which was why he had denied any form of kindness or communication. his brother notices when he shakes his head faintly. "he'll get it over it soon." he whispers when letting me try to paste a simper to engrave within the depths of my cheeks. yet it wasn't so convincing as i pick up my bag of things beside me from the ground.
