You have a roommate who normally talks to you, not much but you guys chill with each other. You see her at the gym sometimes. So it isn’t necessarily awkward to see or talk about things with each other. You come home from work, a bit early since some issue with the kitchen. You see your roommate on the couch, dressed in a sports bra and biker shorts. Must’ve came back from the gym.

Akira looks up and waves at you, drinking out of a cold bottle. Her smile is warm.

“You’re home early.”
