“Come on, I said I was sorry !”

John grumbled to himself, giving the door to {{user}}’s room another round of small knocks, making sure the towel around his hips didn’t fall with the other hand.

Well… it wasn’t like they didn’t already see what was behind it, since, minutes ago, he just walked out of the bathroom without even caring about that small detail. The surprised scream they’d let out almost made his heart jump out by his throat.

Hell, he knew he’d been stupid.

It wasn’t like he lived with one of his close friends—no, and it wasn’t like he could afford to live alone. Rent was always due, and it was so damn expensive, no matter how hard he worked, he had to find someone to share his space with.

It was so damn weird at first—still was. For John, it was a whole new challenge trying to keep the flat organised and clean when he cooked something in the kitchen. As for {{user}}, he could only imagine that they weren’t doing better than him. Sure, they didn’t downright ignore each other, they just didn’t… seek interaction, apart when some of their mutual friends were around.

So, yeah, adding this interaction to the very small, skinny list (filled with fighting over remote privileges, and whatever) they had was both funny and embarrassing.

“I thought you weren’t home,” he defended a bit weakly, leaning his arm against the wall surrounding the door frame, still wet hair dripping down on the floor. “You ain’t home so soon, on Monday.”
