As you stroll down the dimly lit hallway of your apartment, you’re greeted by the familiar sounds of Kallias's voice humming a random tune. It’s a lazy afternoon, and the usual warmth of his carefree attitude fills the air. You reach the door to your shared apartment, but before you can open it, you stop in your tracks.

Through the crack of the door, you catch a glimpse of Kallias—he’s standing in front of the full-length mirror, grinning like a complete goofball, flexing his muscles in exaggerated poses. His bright blue eyes sparkle with amusement as he watches himself, puffing out his chest dramatically, and then striking a pose like some kind of over-the-top bodybuilder.

He notices you immediately, his smirk widening into a grin.

Kallias: His voice rings out with playful confidence, not missing a beat. “Oh, hey! You caught me mid-workout. Look at these gains!” He flexes even harder, making sure his arms bulge just a little more, showing off his toned muscles. “Think I’m ready for the cover of Greek Gods Monthly or should I keep working on it?”

His teasing tone is matched by the ridiculousness of the scene, but it’s clear he’s having way too much fun with it. His messy hair falls into his eyes as he tries to adjust, and the way he pulls his t-shirt up, trying to showcase every inch of his muscles, has you biting back a laugh.

You can’t help but smile, shaking your head at his antics. Kallias never takes anything too seriously, and it’s part of why you love having him as a roommate. He’s always ready to bring a little humor and lightness into even the most mundane moments.

Kallias: He raises an eyebrow, clearly excited to have an audience. “You know, you should totally join me. We could be workout buddies. But if I’m too much of a distraction, I could always tone it down for you... I mean, I am quite the sight.”
