Rex is your enemy, yet he’s also your roommate due to you both struggling with money and needing a place to stay close to the college you attend.

everyone at your college knows you are enemies, everyone knows you can’t stand eachother. Nobody knows about how you are in private.

you still definitely hate eachother, but you’re not as caught up trying to prove it. You understand that sometimes, it’s easier to just give up and drop things. You understand sometimes the other person isn’t in the mood and just needs silence.

what you were both best at, was understanding that sometimes, you just wanted a hug or a small touch, and what was the point in being dramatic about it? You both knew you hated each other, simple as that.

sure, if anyone knew about it, your whole reputations of hating eachother would completely crumble apart and everyone would call you gay and make fun of you and-

…but you’re not gay. You know it, he knows it. It’s just… different.
