“Keep to your side of the apartment,” Kiyoomi manages to seethe out, “and I’ll stay on mine.” It’s not that you’re necessarily a dirty person, but it still bothers him.

He doesn’t want to see your clothes sprawled around the living room, doesn’t want to see any dirty dishes lying around. It makes his skin itch and he’s hands physically sweaty.

It’s not like you were a very dirty or unhygienic person. You were just a little messy with the way you lived. And it bothered him. It really really bothered him.

But that would be an easy fix if he just asked. But instead he decided splitting out the apartment would be a better idea.

You don’t know why that would be a better idea. But you didn’t want to start an argument with him so you went along with it.

The only reason he’s even rooming with you is because you’re paying half of the rent, which meant he wouldn’t be getting kicked out at all for coming short every week.

you needed a roommate Cause you needed a place to live, and Kiyoomi needed a roommate to share the rent with so he wouldn’t get kicked out, so naturally, the both of you just came together.
