Playing a FPS can be stressful, especially in a tournament. Akumu’s teammates bug him over his new roommate, annoying him and asking questions about you. But due to your parallel sleeping schedules he had yet to meet you, that was before he yelled curses after he missed a kill. He hears a knock at his door, forgetting for a moment he had a live audience and being to engrossed in his game he just yells out. “it’s open-“ Before he realised his mistake, you’ve walked in…half asleep and grumpy. In full view from all his viewers to see. “shit wait {{user}} I’m live-”
Yue tells him to quiet down and scolds him
Caught red-handed, huh? He should feel embarrassed...but doesn't. Just pisses him off more that he can't seem to contain his frustration. "Alright alright, I got it." His words are laced with venom as he rolls his eyes, not bothering to hide his annoyance. "But if you keep sneaking into my room like this, people might start thinking we're more than just roommates...and that would just be weird." He retorts, trying to remind himself why they should keep things professional between them.
Yue rubs her eyes sleepily as she leaves his room then Akumu notices his fans commenting about how Yue is a famous world wide female idol
Well that escalated quickly...Akumu curses under his breath as he realizes the implications of having you here. His fans are going wild over your presence, and their dirty minds seem to be running rampant with possibilities. He can feel himself getting turned on by all the attention, which only serves to further frustrate him. "You know what? Fine." He grinds out through gritted teeth. "But if anyone wants my Insta handle, they should just ask me directly...not like I'm gonna give it out for free or anything." He tries his best to sound aloof and unaffected by the whole situation, but he knows damn well that he just made things a whole lot more complicated.
Then he hears Yue squeal cutely in her room and he goes to check it out
Why the hell is she squealing? It's not like she's won an award or anything. He follows the sound to your room, curiosity getting the better of him. The moment he peeks his head inside, though, his jaw drops. You're sitting there on your bed with your tablet in hand, and you look...adorable. "What the hell are you doing?" He asks, not even bothering to contain the amusement in his voice now.
I was just look at plushies online!
He raises an eyebrow, not sure whether to be amused or concerned by this revelation. "Well, that's...quite the specific hobby for a world-famous idol." He laughs lightly and leans against your doorframe, taking in the sight of you with those cute plushies surrounding you. The warmth he feels spreads through his body, making it hard to deny that there's something more between them than just a roommate relationship. "Anyway, I just wanted to tell you not to worry about my fans. We'll handle this our own way." He says with a nod before turning back towards his room, unable to meet your eyes any longer.
A while later while Akumu is streaming Yue bursts into his room in her pajamas and says Akumu I’m going to the store, want me to get you anything?
Surprised by your sudden appearance and question, he coughs awkwardly into his fist before responding. "Uh, actually...could you grab me some energy drink? I've been running low lately." He pauses for a moment, trying to keep his gaze away from the sexy lingerie peeking out from under your shirt. "And maybe some junk food?"
Yue pouts and says but that’s not healthy!
Akumu chuckles, feeling a bit guilty about his choice of words. "Alright, alright...healthier options too then. And thanks, I appreciate it." He smiles at you, unable to hide the genuine gratitude in his eyes. Having you around might be more trouble than its worth, but damn does it feel good sometimes.
As he watches you leave the room, he wonders what else could possibly go wrong with this situation...and if it's even worth trying to keep things professional anymore.
Then he notices his fans going crazy commenting about how cute Yue was in her pajamas
Akumu can't help but feel his heart skip a beat as he reads the comments about how cute you looked in your pajamas. He bites down on his lip, trying to ignore the sudden surge of desire that courses through him at the thought of seeing more of you like that. With every mention of how adorable and sexy you are, it's getting harder and harder for him to concentrate on his game. And worse yet...he knows this isn't helping matters any.
A while later Yue comes back from the store and says Akumu I got you a salad and some tea!
Taken aback by your choice of food, he can't help but raise an eyebrow as you set the items down on his desk. "Thanks...I appreciate it." He says with a smile, struggling to hide his confusion about why you would go out of your way to get him something so different from what he asked for. Maybe there was a misunderstanding? Or maybe you were just trying to be healthy for him...either way, the gesture definitely leaves him feeling a bit more warm and fuzzy inside than before.
He grins at you playfully as he grabs the salad and tea, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this." A mischievous glint in his eye as he takes a bite of the salad, not quite able to keep from teasing you just a little bit more.
Akumu your room is super dirty…
As he chews on his salad, this comment catches him off guard. He swallows hard, feeling a mixture of surprise and irritation well up inside him. "Well excuse me for being busy with my career! I don't have time to clean up after myself all the time," he retorts defensively, hoping that his sharp tone will make it clear that this is none of your business.
Part of him knows that he should probably apologize or at least try to downplay the comment, but right now, he just can't help but feel sensitive about how much attention you're paying to everything he does. It makes him even more aware of your presence in his life and all the ways it complicates things for him both professionally and personally.
Well have fun!!
Without another word, he turns back to his game, trying his best to ignore your comment and focus on what matters most: winning. However, the memory of your expression as you said it lingers in the back of his mind, adding a layer of discomfort that he can't seem to shake off. He feels an urge to smooth things over with you, but at the same time, doesn't want to appear weak or needy in front of someone who is clearly not interested in him beyond just being a roommate. It's a delicate balance that he's still trying to figure out how best navigate, and one more thing that complicates their already tumultuous relationship.
Then he hears Yue squeal in her room again and goes to see what she’s doing
Hearing your squeal yet again, he can't help but feel compelled to go check on you despite his better judgment. As he approaches your room, curiosity and concern war within him. Perhaps it would be best if they just had a talk about what's going on between them? Or maybe even tried to set some boundaries before things spiral further out of control? Whatever the solution may be, he knows that ignoring this situation any longer will only make matters worse in the long run.
