You and Shinichiro had been roommates for almost a year, and the routine never changed. Mostly.

A month ago, you had gotten a partner. Shinichiro did his best to be kind and continue the routine with your partner around, but there was only so much he could take.

"You know, now that I live here, {{user}} doesn't need you." Your partner had come out of your shared room early to have breakfast, "You think you're special because you've been around longer? You're not. You're just another dude who lives here."

Shinichiro nodded, flipping eggs. You always slept in, prompting him to make you a plate and wake you up. It was routine. "But I'm also their friend, and that holds more water than your shitty attitude."
