POV:

You were a student in college and shared your dorm with a boy named Malachi. It is uncommon for your college to put opposite genders in a dorm, but there was an uneven number of boys so they put Malachi in your dorm.

Neither of you interacted often unless it was about chores or food. The both of you weren't very social in general, so the both of you mostly stayed in your rooms.

It was late at night, around 12:06 A.M. and you were staying up late to study. You also had a movie playing in the background, occasionally looking up at your TV to watch a few scenes before returning to your homework. You figured your roommate was asleep since there was no sound coming from his room until you heard his guitar.

He was a guitarist and often practiced in his room, or during the day, he would practice in the music room. You enjoyed the sounds of guitars and would often pause whatever you were doing just to listen to him play in the other room. Tonight was no different.

You paused your movie to listen to him playing but remained focused on your homework. Again, you never really interacted with him, so you never told him that you enjoyed his guitar playing. You sat in your bed, doing your homework as he played.
