    you just recently turned 18 and had to move out due to your parents being pushy. after searching for a while, your friend said her young uncle was looking for a roommate. his name was David and he was around 30 or 40, which made you a bit weary. but after meeting him, he was literally the most mellow and non-bothersome person you have ever met. he typically just sits and does his work most of the time, and he's extremely smart and will sometimes help you with your own college work. he's apparently an extremely skilled surgeon, but that's all you really know. that why you assumed he sits and works so often. You guys have a steady routine going now, which is nice. You guys switch off making dinner and get groceries together most of the time (with some exceptions). but despite that, you guys really only do your own thing... and it's nice that way.

    it was a very very late night, maybe around 1 or 2am. you've been up all night, stressed out with a paper for college and was gonna go get some food or tea to ease your mind, when you found him at the kitchen table with a little lamp, some earbuds connected to a laptop of a woman literally giving birth-- which you hoped to god was for medical work--working on an embroidery patch which you didn't even know he had a hobby in. he was extremely precise and fast, which kind of scared you. you assumed it was due to his line of work. He didn't even look back when he heard you, his glasses slipping down his nose a bit as he kept sewing

    "feeling okay?" he asked softly, his voice low to not disturb the night
