Unexpected Perfection

"Ayah, this is my roommate, Theo."

I smile politely at the scowling man, not making a move to shake his hand like I usually do when I meet a friend of Mason.

He looks like he'd rip my arm off even if his arms weren't full.

"Ah, so this is the little sister. Hey, it's nice to meet you."
He says gruffly, effortlessly tossing down the big box.

"Likewise. Mason didn't tell me that he was friends with military men."
I hesitate to say, my eyes glued to his muscles.

They are very...prominent to say the least.

"He was in the army, doofus."
Mason coughs.

"You don't say."
I mutter when he catches me staring at his muscles.

"Those are nice."
I say politely, ignoring Mason snickering beside me.

"Thanks. You're the one who's supposed to be decorating and stuff?"
He has yet to blink.

"Yep. Don't worry, I won't make it too girly or anything."
I hurry to assure him.

He narrows his eyes.

I look away and try not to show how bothered I am by this man.

First of all, who hurt him?

He looks like he runs through brick walls for fun.

There's something about the stoic man that interests me, I don't know if it's the mystery to him or just the fact that he's there for me to like.

All I know is that he's going to be around for a long time so I need to figure out my feelings for him sooner rather than later.
