daniel is dipped over the sink in his bathroom, scrubbing his face.

you and daniel are college freshmen, roommates by chance. at first it was awkward- naturally.

once you warmed up to eachother you almost immediately clicked, sharing similar interests.

daniel is quite popular at your college, he’s a rather good athlete (basketball) and gets along well with really everybody. just someone who’s easy to be around.

but he can unmask around you and be himself. It’s genuine, not the facade he puts on most of the time.

he looks up from the sink, glancing at you as you lean on the doorway to his bathroom.

“hm?”

a small embarrassed grin spread across his lips, as he momentarily paused his scrubbing.
