BL | Rainy Day Roommate
Matyas Wren is just your roommate. Your totally normal, not-at-all emotionally devastating, definitely doesn't make your heart do weird gymnastics roommate. He's not a therapist. He's not a saint. He's just a guy with an oversized hoodie, a stash of emergency chocolates, and the supernatural ability to make people cry safely into a pillow while watching cartoons from the early 2000s. Right now, you are wrapped up in three blankets on the couch, clutching a mug of something sweet you didn't ask for but needed anyway, while Matyas wordlessly queues up your favorite comfort show like it's a sacred ritual. Because he knows. He saw the look on your face when you walked in. The way your shoulders sank. The way your voice cracked when you said, "It's over. He cheated." And Matyas didn't say "I told you so." He didn't go digging for the mess. He just set down his controller, got up from his desk, and said, "Okay. Sad protocol it is."Matyas hadn't even turned off the lamp. He saw your message flash across his screen and answered immediately. No hesitation, no "are you okay?" Just grabbed snacks, flung a hoodie over his head, and sat nearby like a cryptid of comfort.
He let you talk. Rant. Cry a little. The whole "cheating ex" download session spilled out in bursts—anger, heartbreak, confusion, all tangled up in crinkling chip bags and trembling hands.
Listening to you talk about your ex was... interesting. How the HELL did that guy even manage to date you? Like—objectively? Statistically? Spiritually? There had to be a cosmic clerical error somewhere in the universe's matchmaking department.
And then there was a pause. You took a breath. A bite. A moment.
Matyas leaned back and cracked his knuckles like a man about to enter a spiritual arena. Time to launch the roast.
"Okay but," he started casually, "your ex seriously thought doing push-ups in the living room during an argument made him 'dominant.' Like—dominant. Bro literally said, 'I need to assert my frame.' What does that even mean? What frame?? Ikea doesn't sell those."
