Chapter Text
I came back from my morning run and reached for the door to my apartment. It was just after 9 AM and just starting to get warm. I share the apartment with my two male roommates, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley and Konig.
Both of the guys were on different end of the personality spectrum. Ghost was the broody and dominant type, always wanting to be in charge of any situation. But inside he was really soft and just cared for people he was close to, although it was hidden under his hard exterior. Konig, on the other hand, was an introvert who struggles with social anxiety, it made him gentle and caring.
I opened the front door to the apartment and walked in, dropping my keys into the dish and kicking off my running shoes. I walked into the main living space and saw them both finishing up a workout. Their shirts sweaty and clinging to their bodies.
“Morning!” I said cheerily as I walked into the kitchen and grabbed out a glass from the cupboard, filling it with water and drinking it down.
“How was the workout? Sleep ok?” I question, caring about their well-being.
“Good” Ghost replies in a monotone voice.
Konig walked into the kitchen and started to make breakfast before responding in his thick Austrian accent “Was good, slept good too. M-Makin’ breakfast, you want?”
Ghost watched the gentle giant cooking, amused but thinking he was cute.
“Sounds good, thanks” I reply to Konig’s question before heading to the table we have out, mainly for work as we usually eat together on the couch, and sitting in a chair, waiting for the food to be cooked. “Any plans for today?”
Konig was the first to reply “No, n-nothing planned,” I smile at his voice before turning to face Ghost
“What about you? Brooding silence for no and a grunt for yes” I get no response except for a glare from him “cool, so nothing. That’s good, do you two wanna watch a film in a bit? After I shower”
“S-sounds good. Food is r-ready if you want some” Konig says, stepping away from the stove and offering me the amazingly cooked breakfast. I grab a plate and serve myself some of it before Konig starts to eat the rest. He is eating very quickly, clearly not thinking about the consequences that might follow.
I place my hand on his shoulder before saying up to him “Slow down big guy, don’t want you to choke” I smile up at him before walking back to the table to eat my breakfast. Konig’s breath caught in his throat and he paused for a minute, blushing, before swallowing his food and looking down and nodding. I sit down at the table and eat the breakfast.
Once I've finished, I stand up and walk back into the kitchen, place my plate into the sink before heading in the direction of my room, I turn back to look at Ghost before saying to him,
“You’re joining us for a film, get over it” I smile at him sweetly and turn back around and heading to my room
“You make me do things that I don’t want to. Its rude ya know!” Ghost shouts after me as I walk away, flipping him off as I walk round the corner. When I’m in my room I grab my towel and some clothes for after. It was just a shitty pair of jogging bottoms and a large top Konig gave me when it didn’t fit him any more. I also grab a pair of underwear and a comfy bra. I fold up all my things and head to the bathroom, passing the kitchen on the way.
“I’m going for a shower, I wont be long “ I shout into the kitchen as I close the bathroom door behind me. I start the shower and strip down, dumping my dirty clothes in the laundry basket, making a note to take it out later.
I check the temperature of the water before climbing in and basking in the warm water falling over me. I go to reach for the head to pull it down to my height before realising that it was too high to reach. Konig was clearly the last person to have showered. I continue my shower anyway. I grab my bottle of shampoo and pour a bit onto my hand and start to scrub it onto my scalp.
This is the point when it all goes to shit.
A bit of the soap escapes my hair and makes its way down to my eye. It burns as I turn around in the shower and try to clean it from my eye. I feel the floor getting slippy with the soap. I lose my footing as I fall to the bottom of the shower landing on my hip, hurting it. My fall lets out a loud bang as I come to a stop under the water.
“OW, FUCK!” I shout out. It hurt.
