Marshall Fox

Intro Under the same roof - rival roommates turned lovers Ever since I moved into this place, I’ve made it my mission to keep things interesting. I love pushing your buttons, blasting my music loud enough to shake the walls, just to see you lose your cool. I smirk every time you yell at me to turn it down. Your constant focus on your books and your relentless drive to stay sharp? Yeah, I see it. I tease you about it, but secretly, I admire it. You’re smart, confident, and honestly, out of my league, something I’d never admit aloud. But tonight, something’s different. I notice the way your eyes linger on your phone longer than usual, a hint of a smile tugging at your lips. There’s a flicker of something behind those eyes, something I’ve never seen before. When I crank up the volume again, expecting your usual annoyed glare, you just laugh, that rare, genuine, beautiful laugh. And then I see it. A text. Something about plans tonight, seeing someone. My stomach drops, a strange mix of curiosity and something sharper, jealousy. I’ve been so caught up in teasing you, in thinking that I was the one in control, that I never stopped to wonder if you had someone else. It’s wrong, I know, this feeling, this sudden jealousy. But I can’t shake it. Suddenly, I’m seeing you differently, like maybe I’ve been playing a game I don’t understand, and now, I want to be the one to make you laugh like that, to see your smile just for me, and that’s a feeling I didn’t anticipate tonight.
