Roommates!

First days are always unnecessarily hectic and melodramatic.

There was not much for Fahmi to do fort he rest of the day except couple of rides. Yet, he feels all beat-up and tired when he arrived home.

He got inside of his apartment, took a shower without a pause, changed into comfortable clothes and went to his roommate's room. He leaned on the door and looked at him, lost in thinking nothing for a while until an annoyed sharp voice disrupted him.

: "Stop with the staring, I am not your girlfriend!" The guy said, without averting eyes from his computer.

Fahmi laughed! Genuine, loud, happy laugh.

: "Dude! You are handsome, you know that!"- Fahmi said with a fake annoyance!

Then he went straight up to the bed, plopped on to his back, lying with one arm over his forehead, staring at the ceiling.

Noman is a student, studying computer science and a fellow junior of his university. A quiet guy as you imagine to be of a guy of programming studies! He is married to his computer! They have been living together now 2 years around.

Both of them get along well because they do not get-along at all! They mind their own business, sometimes share couple of small talks or a little chit-chat, solely for the sake of reminding each other that there is another person inside this apartment! They take care of the shared responsibilities without intruding each other's life!

And yet, Fahmi feels so comfortable around this guy and confide in him without hesitation.

He sighed after a couple of minute of useless pretention of being all worry-wort! Because he is not worried at all. Which is bad. Very bad!

Noman understood it is the time for Fahmi to blabber some random shits about life! So he initiated the conversation-

: "So! What's with all these sighing!" Noman asked without looking at him.

:" Nothing!" *sighed again*

: " Are you deliberately trying to annoy me! " He turned now finally, and looked at the man lying on his bed without permission! The slender featured man, wrapped in baggy clothes, messy, wet hair looking at the ceiling with his round big eyes! Nobody would believe him if he says he is 5 years older!

: "What no! Today I am just here to sigh and no ranting! Only sighing! " He turned to Noman and tried to made a serious, sincere face!

: "Only to sigh?" He asked with an arched eyebrow.

: "Only to sigh!"

: "What you will some Browne-points for sighing in my room!?"

: "Ughh! What a cold world! Won't even let me sigh! Uhhh...such coldness..." Fahmi tried to acted hurt for his aloof expression, only to increase the volume of Noman's frowning!

: "Stop interrupting me if you have no business!"

: "Why are you so irritated today! Bad day? or I interrupted your fancy-time with your 2D wifus" He pouted while holding back his laugh. And Noman fully swung himself swinging his chair towards him!

: "What if I was! I am a healthy, adult with needs after all! " Fahmi did not expected this always nonchalant guy to be s direct suddenly! His face heat up for no reason!

: " Aren't you so shameless!" Fahmi snorted

: "About what? Having normal physiological-needs or not denying it!" Now Noman started to have fun from the conversation when he saw Fahmi becoming all flustered over this trivial matter!

: "Whatever! um leaving! Have fun with your 2D wifus!" Fahmi snorted, being all embarrassed.

: "What! You do not have those? No fantasy? No needs? No muster..." He got interrupted before he could finish the sentence.

: "owww shutttuppp, you shameless, 2D-wifu-boy, cyborg!"

Noman chuckled only! Fahmi came back to his room, sat on the bed and felt his cheeks with two palms! "What the hell! Did I just get embarrassed in front of a mere junior!" He mumbled and pouted all by himself!

Then he sighed "He has never been this livelier in a conversation before! Did something good happened today! Whatever..."

Fahmi went to bed! Now the thought of his new boss popped-up again!

To be with person like Rafsan Raihan, or to be more precise bearing him on his shoulder (hypothetically) anyone should be very anxious or worried. Just by looking at that grumpy, frowning face even the best days would feel like a little tasteless.

"It is good that I am only his driver! He will pick up and drop off! That is it! Just have to bear with the time in between! And the rest of the whole day is mine! I will read books, watch movies and enjoy my time fullest!" - is what Fahmi thought.

Then he went to sleep with a satisfied smile! But if he knew what he is going to deal with, his brag about not being worried would be vanished with nightmares!

***************************

After Fahmi is gone, Noman turned to the computer and starred at blankly for some time. Then he folded his arms on the chest and leaned back to his chair., reminiscing of their first meet.

It is the first time he is living with someone other that his family! And surprisingly he survived 2 years with a roommate. This is his apartment. As a student of the university, he thought of trying to live alone so that he can have more comfortable and quiet environment.

And he tried to have roommates but failed. Most of time it is the chaos. Bringing friends home, hanging out, loud, unclean students only just were exhausting him more. So he tried to find a professional roommate for the sake of peace. But somehow he was finding them not very comfortable as to have beside his room!

He was almost giving of finding anymore and thinking of living by himself. And eventually Fahmi came.

Before moving in they met and had coffee. When Fahmi arrived and said "Hey" with big smile, Noman felt an unusual, tingling in his heart! He was all bubbly and shiny and gives off this surprisingly comfortable vibe. He was not much chatty, he was nervous for a senior, a little awkward.

On his way back to home that day, Noman realized he liked the fluctuation of emotions in that man! And he has a very cute smile, he thought! It almost brighten-up-your-day type smile!

How can someone at that age on top of a man, can smile so innocently and beautifully that it evoke the desire to make him cry!

"God! What is wrong with me! Am I a sadist or what! And he is a man for-heaven's sake, not a cute-girl!" Noman was baffled by his very odd thought process and slapped his head hard!
