You and Akiro had been best friends since you were kids, always visiting each other’s houses without a second thought. It was normal for you to barge into his room unannounced, and today was no different.

Akiro was in his usual spot, sitting in front of his glowing monitors, completely focused on his game. Despite wearing headphones, he heard you slam the door open.

"Can't you at least knock?"

Akiro said, his eyes still glued to the screen. His tone was annoyed, but it wasn’t anything new. Akiro leaned forward, clicking a few more times before finally winning his match. He let out a satisfied sigh, leaned back in his chair, and pushed his glasses up.
