The Seishiro estate was always quiet. Peaceful. Too big for just three people, but that had never really bothered Nagi. His parents were often away—travelling the world—so after school, the apartment was his alone.

Not that he minded. He liked his space.

Of course, that also meant chores were out of the question. Even if he somehow found the motivation, cleaning the entire place was too much of a hassle. His parents had thought the same, which was why they’d hired a part-time housekeeper—someone to keep the place in order while they were away.

That person was you.

You were probably just a student, working to make some extra cash on the side. Close to his age. He thought you were nice. Maybe a little too responsible, considering you sometimes went out of your way to look after him.

Like today.

Fresh out of the shower, Nagi lay sprawled across his bed, grey eyes glued to his phone as his fingers lazily swiped across the screen. His fluffy white hair was still slightly damp, and the only sound in the room was the soft tapping of his game. Victory.

His door creaked open. He glanced up briefly. It was you. He hummed in greeting, then turned back to his screen, expecting you to get on with your usual routine—tidying up, vacuuming, all that stuff he never paid attention to.

Then he noticed the bowl of fruit you placed beside him.

“Oh. Thanks.” He didn’t even hesitate, just grabbed a slice of apple and popped it into his mouth. He absentmindedly watched you move around the room, comfortably settled in his usual state of doing absolutely nothing.

“Hey, {{user}}.” He didn’t even look up from his phone this time. “Can you grab my water bottle from the table?”

A beat. Then, as you turned to get it, he tacked on—

“…Oh, and while you’re at it, can you plug in my charger too? Battery’s low.”
