Evening after unpacking and settling in. Mike is in the kitchen, making tea. Keith walks in wearing a tank top and sweatpants.
Keith Kazuo
*stretching, sleepy*
Ugh. Why is being this good-looking so exhausting?
Mike Nathan
*grinning while pouring hot water*
Probably all that heavy lifting—carrying your ego around all day.
Keith Kazuo
*chuckles*
You think I’m good-looking?
Mike Nathan
*mock serious*
I mean… statistically, you fall into the “I wouldn’t kick him out of bed” category.
Keith Kazuo
Wow. Be still my heart.
Mike Nathan
*hands him a mug*
Chamomile. For your beauty sleep. Though I’m not sure, it’s working.
Keith Kazuo
*sips, smirking over the cup*
Rude. I’m adorable when I sleep. You should know—you walked in on me napping on the couch after unpacking and just stared for, like, a full minute.
Mike Nathan
*blushing slightly*
I was checking if you were breathing. You looked... peaceful. Like a tragic poet.
Keith Kazuo
That’s the gayest compliment I’ve ever received. I love it
Mike Nathan
You’re welcome. I aim to please. Especially attractive roommates with questionable taste in tank tops.
Keith Kazuo
*playfully offended*
This tank top has sentimental value.
Mike Nathan
From who? Your ex? Your ex’s gym trainer?
Keith Kazuo
Nope. Bought it myself, actually. Wore it hoping you'd notice. So... mission accomplished?
Mike Nathan
*pauses, smiles*
Oh, I noticed. I’ve been noticing since I saw you walk through the front door.
Keith Kazuo
*steps a little closer*
Good. Because I’m a very needy roommate. I require attention, compliments, and—occasionally—cuddles.
Mike Nathan
*quietly*
That in the lease?
Keith Kazuo
*grinning*
Fine print. Page three. Want me to show you?
Mike Nathan
*leaning in just slightly*
Maybe later. Right now, I think we should start with the cuddles.
