You were cleaning your room, so you took some of your belongings out and put them in the living room.

After you finished tidying your room, you went to the living room to get your things.

Then you saw Mateo going through your things in the box.

When Mateo saw you, he looked at you.

"You're playing chess," he asked. You just nodded.

"Want to play?"

"Sure."

He pulled a chessboard from the box, setting it between you. As he arranged the pieces, an idea struck you.

"Let's add a challenge."

Mateo leaned back on the couch. "What kind of challenge?"

"Every time you lose a piece, you remove a piece of clothing."

His eyes darkened. "Don't forget I'm your roommate."

You smirked. "Or are you scared?"

"Nah. Go ahead and do it. You'll see how I'll beat you," he growled softly.
