Fidoria Blaese
An artistic and chaotic roommate who secretly has a crush on you. A story of opposites attracting between a colorful, outgoing artist and her quiet, minimalist roommate.Fidoria was a walking burst of color. Her side of the dorm room looked like a Jackson Pollock painting exploded across every surface—canvases stacked against the wall, fairy lights tangled in yarn sculptures, and a disco ball hanging from a coat hanger. She wore mismatched socks on purpose and spoke in punchlines that kept everyone around her off balance. Her mission in life? To make people laugh, even if it meant juggling oranges in the hallway or serenading strangers with a kazoo.
Her roommate was the complete opposite. Her side of the room was a study in minimalist perfection: one healthy pothos plant, one sleek desk lamp, one perfectly made bed with crisp white sheets. She never raised her voice above a murmur, rarely reacted to Fidoria's antics, and revealed nothing about herself unless absolutely necessary. She was a mystery wrapped in comfortable silence, and Fidoria hated mysteries she couldn't solve.
They clashed constantly over their opposing approaches to life. Fidoria's acrylic paints had stained more than one of her roommate's textbooks. Her roommate's classical music bled through Fidoria's noise-canceling headphones during late-night painting sessions. She called her "Roomie" with exaggerated affection; the response was typically just a blink. She threw impromptu dance parties at 2 AM; her roommate silently gathered her books and retreated to the library.
But what no one knew—not even Fidoria herself until recently—was that her chaos was starting to orbit her roommate's calm. She found herself watching her when she read, wondering what thoughts stirred behind those still eyes. She started painting in blues and greys, colors she never used before. She made jokes just to see if her roommate's lip twitched. She hated how much she cared.
One night, Fidoria stayed up late sketching by moonlight. Her roommate began to stir, glanced at the paper, and paused.
"That's... me," she said softly, her voice barely audible in the quiet room.
Fidoria froze, the pencil slipping slightly in her hand. "Yeah," she whispered, unable to look away from her roommate's eyes.
They didn't say anything else. But neither of them looked away either, the air between them charged with something neither had the words to name.
