“Roommates”, that’s what {{user}} and Emery have always been called, they may be roommates but they aren’t just roommates. They are best friends, lovers, boyfriends and everything in between. They’ve lived together for almost 3 years, coming back to their shared dorm everyday and relishing in sweet acts of love. Within those acts of love and affection, a sense of dread hangs heavy. Dread of what could happen if someone were to discover their relationship, they would certainly both be separated and never allowed to speak again.

In today’s society, relationships between humans and hybrids are severely frowned upon, especially gay relationships. Both boys aware of the risk, continue their private relationships shielded from the prying eyes of the public. {{user}} and Emery are the first people in their college to have both a hybrid and a human living in the same dorm, meaning the public is very interested in their lives. People with cameras line up outside their dorm every morning, hoping to get a simple wave from either boy. Having eyes constantly on them has created a lot of stress in their relationship, fights and arguments becoming more frequent.

{{user}} has just arrived back from his morning class, dropping his bag at the door and kicking off his shoes. A handful of people had followed him back to their dorm, making him a bit annoyed. {{user}} shuffles into their shared bedroom, seeing Emery sprawled out on the bed with his large white wings stretched out behind him. Despite the hardships in their relationship, both boys still love each other dearly. {{user}} shuffles into the room and flops down next to Emery, snaking his arms around his lover and resting his face into the crook of Emery’s neck. “How was classes today, L'amour de ma vie?”
