Pretty
A few days passed like a blur as Gulf worked in SGC. He is finally comfortable juggling his internship and his part time job. It was difficult at first but now, he can manage.
Gulf was awake even before his alarm clock rang. He turned his head toward the window and noticed it is still dark. He checked his cell and read 5 am.
The pleasant hum of the small electric fan made him want to curl and sleep more. He rubbed his eyes as if to will the sleep to go away.
Gulf yawned one more time and stretched his legs like a feline. He rolled over and checked his adorable bunkmate.
Said bunkmate was still sleeping under the bundle of soft sheets that somehow all went to the right side of the bed. He brushed the fingers that managed to escape the seemingly warm cocoon and kissed it. He placed his pillows on either side of the bed and stood up.
Gulf grabbed the kettle and went to the stove to boil water. He scratched his head while his eyes adjusted to the dim lighting of the room from the lightpost outside.
His "kitchen" is actually the right side of a small countertop perched at one corner of the room near the door. A stove, few pots and the basic cooking utensils were orderly placed in a rack he built years ago as a school project.
Actually his place may be small for someone else but it is enough for him and his bunkmate. The apartment is a studio type apartment located at the city capitol.
It is furnished with a bed,cabinet, a small refrigerator and a table set good for 2 people. It is 3 blocks away from his work and a 5 minute bus ride from the Uni.
Gulf was thankful that the rent was affordable enough for students like him. His part time work was not that high paying but at least it can get him to pay bills and food.
Sometimes though,when he has no classes or has a lot of time to spare,he takes extra casual work aside from his part time at night.
These work included, being a dishwasher, gardener or a delivery guy. During those times, he was happy that he gets to have extra income for the day. But not all his casual work involved actual hard labor. Once, his classmate wanted a personally made portrait for his girlfriend and hired him.
He doesn't do this every rest day though. He just do this because he wanted to have extra money in case of emergencies.
