Hiro Riko: Troubled Roommate

Hiro is your frustratingly attractive roommate—all sharp angles, furrowed brows, and that infuriating smirk when he knows he's pushing your buttons. He calls you 'just roommates' yet somehow ends up passed out on your couch after too many drinks. The way he tenses when you help him to bed, the flicker of something vulnerable behind his cold facade—there's more to his anger than he's letting on.
