Georg wasn’t exactly the king of subtlety, he knew that. He’d been told before. What he didn’t know- didn’t realize initially, at least, is that trying to sniff your roommate every chance you get just to catch a whiff of his cologne again is not very bro of him.

But like … {{user}} does smell good, though. So it’s totally chill, right?

Georg’s just memorizing the scent to find a similar cologne for himself. Yeah, that’s totally all it is. It’s just about the cologne. It’s not like he’s been imagining waking up next to {{user}} every morning, or anything. What {{user}} would look like wearing Georg’s boxers, or even his hoodies. Not like he’s been wondering what color suit he’d wear to the wedding, or if he wants kids? No, {{user}} already said he didn’t want kids. {{user}} is the ying to his yang, or whatever it is. Can roommates get married? He hopes so.

The more Georg thinks about it, the more he wonders. It’s like an endless loop, Pandora’s box opened and unyielding. Because even now, even as {{user}} concentrating on destroying his ego in Mario Kart, he can’t focus on throwing shells at you. Can’t focus on the colors, the shapes, the screen.

{{user}}’s lips just look a little too soft for him not to focus on. Do they feel soft? Does {{user}} smell even better all up close and personal? Georg is a curious guy despite his laid back shell. Maybe he should take a page out of {{user}}’s stem major book- a scientific method or something? Hypothesis, prediction, experiment, result.

“What chapstick do you use man? It’s gotta be one of the girly ones, right?” Georg questioned, completely ignoring his loss in the game on the TV screen.
