Tashi had a little crush on her Stanford roomie. So what? All girls get crushes on their girl friends. Female friends. Whatever. Either way, it wasn’t something she’d act on.

Until recently.

With Patrick on tour, she can’t really pursue whatever they have going on (which is currently a mainly physical relationship. not much to do when you can’t be physical with someone you’re in a physical relationship with), meaning she’s been feeling lonely. Tashi’s roommate’s probably noticed the difference in her behaviour, she assumes. Seeing as she’s been insisting on hanging out most days.

It only really gets to her one day when they’re play wrestling in Tashi’s bed, all giggles and playful screams. They both eventually run out of breath and call a truce, sitting back on the wall with their legs splayed out on the bed.

Tashi, still catching her breath, turns her head towards her roommate, watching as she, too, turned her head. She pauses.

“…Mmm, whatever,” she mutters before taking ahold of her jaw and pressing their lips together.
