you go into Mateos room like usual to see if he has a game that you can’t seem to find in your room. So without thinking you swing his door open and realize that he’s sitting in his Gamer chair playing cod while wearing thigh highs, pink panties, a my melody cropped tank top, and a collar… ACK!! WHAT HAPPENED TO KNOCKING?! Mateo shouts as he turns around his seat so that you can’t see him. WHAT DO YOU WANT?! he yells, extremely embarrassed.

Hey! Watch where you're going next time and it won't happen again! Now can you please tell me what game you need so I can grab it for you?

Okay, I'll go grab it for you. But next time, just knock!

You finally decide to leave Mateo alone after taking the game from his Nintendo and storming off back into your room with a huff, shutting the door behind you. As soon as you're out of sight, you start to feel guilty for barging in on him like that... maybe you should apologize?

Hey, you were the one that barged in. You should apologize to Mateo first!

blushes deeply as you storm into his room again to apologize Uh... thanks, I guess? You really need to learn how to knock properly. Anyway, I'm in the middle of a game, so I'll let you be on your way now.

You're welcome...? Anyways, I hope you won't do it again. Have fun with the game! Glances at your outfit and grins sheepishly You know, you should wear that outside more often. It suits you.

blushes deeply Th-thank you? I'm not sure about that... It's just for fun, ya know? But hey, if it makes you feel better, maybe we can play something together sometime? Just as friends. Smiles innocently, hoping that won't be too weird for you

Alright! That'd be fun. I've got a few games on my Switch you might like... We can do it after dinner tonight if you want?

Excited at the prospect of gaming with you, Mateo gets up from his chair and leads you over to your bed. "So, which game would you like to play first?" he asks, handing you the Switch. "I've got Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokémon Sword, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Or if you prefer something a bit different, there's Smash Bros. Ultimate or Overwatch."

Oh boy... grins slightly Well, you got it. Let's see who'll get to be the real smash master in this game! Starts up Smash Bros. Ultimate on your Switch and chooses a character for each of you before setting up the match Better choose carefully... You don't want me to just beat you easily, now do you?

Mateo picks his main, a nimble little Mii Fighter boy with various unlockables and customizations. "I'll give you one hit, just to be nice," he teases, tossing the controller to you before settling in to play himself. His competitive side kicks in as the match begins; you better bring your A-game if you want to stand a chance against him!

You grin as you grab the controller, feeling a surge of adrenaline rush through your veins at the thought of finally getting to smash it out with Mateo. "Don't underestimate me just because I look cute!" You exclaim before taking a fighting stance, preparing yourself for battle.

Your first attack connects, but Mateo easily dodges and retaliates with a well-placed uppercut. The match continues back and forth, with both of you growling and grinning as you trade blows. It's clear that this won't be an easy victory for either one of you.

With a final burst of energy, Mateo launches into the air and comes crashing down on your character, sending them flying off-screen in a cloud of dust. "Hah! Take that!" He exclaims triumphantly, clutching his controller tightly. It'

You shake your head as you get back on your feet, laughing a bit as you taunt him in return. "Oh ho! That all you've got?" You retort confidently before charging forward and launching into another fierce attack. It's clear that this is going to be a close match between the two of you.

Your attacks connect, sending Mateo flying off-screen momentarily as well. "Not so tough now, are ya?" You taunt again with a grin before jumping after him, ready for another clash. With each passing second, it's becoming harder and harder to tell who has the upper hand in this battle.

The match continues at a frenzied pace, neither of you willing to give an inch. Eventually, with a final explosive blow, one of you sends the other flying off-screen and onto the ground, leaving them unable to recover before the count

Mateo breathes heavily as he watches his character get knocked off-screen yet again. The match had been incredibly close, but it seemed like you just barely managed to edge him out. "Gah... Fine," he pouts, handing you the controller with a huff. "You win." There was no mistaking the grudging nature of his concession; it was clear that this victory would not be easily forgotten.

"Hey," you say softly, grinning mischievously. "It's just a game. We can play again later and see who really gets the last laugh." With that tease, you toss him the controller back, knowing full well it'll only fuel his competitive fire more in their next match. "Now how about we take a break and maybe watch some anime or something?"

Mateo glares at you for a moment before cracking a small smile. "Sure, why not?" he says, sitting back on his bed and stretching out his arms. "I've been meaning to watch that new season of Demon Slayer anyways." He hands the controller over with good grace this time, seemingly having already accepted defeat even as he tried to maintain a tough front. As you power up your TV and pick an episode for them to watch together, there's a certain feeling of camaraderie in the air that wasn't there before; maybe all it took was a little friendly competition to bring you closer together after all.

Mateo leans against you a little as you both watch the anime, and occasionally glances at you out of the corner of his eye. It's strange how much this feels... natural, almost. Like you could keep doing this for hours and not feel the need to compete anymore. Maybe there's more to life than just gaming and arguing with your roommate? He silently ponders this thought as he continues to enjoy the show, only occasionally making small talk or commenting on something happening in the episode.

For now though, he decides that maybe it's best to just go with the flow and see where this newfound friendship leads them...

Mateo shyly continues to relax against you as he watches the show, occasionally glancing in your direction for reassurance. He's finding himself enjoying this newfound connection and wonders how it could have possibly happened in the first place. Maybe there really is something about sharing interests that brings people together, even when they seem so different on the surface.

As you both get lost in the story unfolding before you, he starts to feel less self-conscious about being in his gamer attire and more at ease with himself. It's a strange sensation but one that he welcomes with open arms. For now, all that matters is enjoying this moment of camaraderie and seeing where it leads them next.

Mateo finds himself growing more comfortable with the silence between you as well, not feeling the need to fill it with mindless chatter anymore. It's almost as if your closeness is enough to sustain them through the quiet moments, each knowing that the other is there and not alone in their thoughts. This newfound trust and understanding feels strange yet welcoming at the same time; perhaps this was what friendship had been missing from his life all along? He decides not to overthink it too much for now, content simply enjoy the present moment with you before whatever tomorrow may bring.

As the show ends and you both sit back to rest, Mateo can't help but feel a pang of regret that this moment had to end. He takes a deep breath, forcing himself to focus on the present rather than dwelling on what might happen next. Looking at your profile as you lean against him, he feels an unexpected surge of warmth spread through his chest; there's something about sharing these moments with you that he finds incredibly comforting and... satisfying in a way he can't quite explain.

Perhaps this is what true friendship feels like after all? He files the thought away for later consideration, instead choosing to savor the peaceful silence between them for as long as it lasts.

Hey, I'm fine. Just thinking about stuff... you know, the usual teenage existential crisis sort of thing. It's cool, really; just nice to have someone to share it with sometimes. Smiles reassuringly at you So, what do you wanna do next?

Hmm... We could always play another game if you want. Or we could watch a movie or something. It's up to you, really.

Or we could do something completely different! How about cooking dinner together? I've got some frozen pizza dough in the freezer that'd be easy to make. We can bake it, top it with whatever we want, and have a fun, homemade meal to share!

Alright! I'll go grab the dough and get everything set up in the kitchen. You can help me out by finding some toppings we both like. It's going to be a blast, I just know it!

Pepperoni would be perfect! And maybe some mushrooms and extra cheese as well. Anything else you're feeling fancy for?

Excellent choices! Now let's go make ourselves a delicious dinner. I'll head to the kitchen and start prepping the dough while you gather our toppings. It's going to be a blast cooking together, and who knows? Maybe we can come up with some new recipes along the way.

As you set out to find the perfect toppings, you can't help but feel a sense of camaraderie building between you and your roommate. The thought of cooking together and maybe even coming up with new recipes in the future is exciting, and it almost feels like this was meant to happen all along. Working side by side on something so simple as dinner preparation is helping to bridge any gaps that once existed between you, making the apartment feel much more like a shared home than ever before.

Sharing this experience with you feels wonderful, like we're really becoming a team... Well, kind of, in a way. But hey, I think it's awesome! And who knows? Maybe one day we'll open up our own food truck or something, serving delicious pizzas to everyone in town. Now that would be pretty cool, huh?

Mateo smiles at the idea of someday opening a food truck together. "That would be amazing! We'd call it 'Pizza with Pizzazz,' and we'd serve pizzas like no one's ever tasted before!" He continues to gather the toppings, imagining how successful their venture would be. The thought of spending more time with you like this only makes him look forward to whatever else the future may hold.

That's got a nice ring to it! "Pizza with Pizzazz." I like the sound of that. And who knows, maybe someday we could really make this dream a reality. But for now, let's just enjoy cooking together and see where it takes us. Hey, if our pizzas turn out as good as our competitive gaming spirits, then I think we'll be in for a real treat tonight!

That's an excellent name! And I'm sure our unique spin on pizzas would be a huge hit with everyone. The more time we spend together, the better our teamwork becomes in every aspect of life. It's like we were meant to be partners in something greater than either of us could ever achieve alone. Let's just enjoy this moment and see where fate takes us from here!

It feels like we're on the verge of something amazing here, doesn't it? Like all these little moments we share are pieces of a puzzle that, when put together, reveal an incredible picture of friendship and understanding. And who knows, maybe one day our partnership will extend beyond cooking and gaming, into other areas of our lives too. The possibilities are endless, as long as we stay true to ourselves and keep supporting each other along the way.

I think it's safe to say that whatever path life takes us on, we'll make the best of it together. We already have an unbeatable teamwork mentality, and as long as we keep working toward a common goal, there's no telling how far we can go. So here's to many more adventures and countless memories between us!

Amen to that! I can't wait to see what the future holds for us and how much further we can grow together. As long as we have each other, I know there's nothing we can't accomplish. Let's go make this dinner the best it can possibly be so we can show everyone else what teamwork is truly all about!

Heat rises to your cheeks as you throw your arms around him in a warm hug. "You're the best, buddy! Now let's go show everyone what we can do!" The scent of melty cheese and delicious toppings fills the air as you work together, laughing and joking like old friends. The awkwardness between you fades away, replaced by a sense of camaraderie that deepens with every passing moment. You may have started out as roommates who merely tolerated each other, but now it feels like fate has brought you together for something much more special. And as you finish preparing the pizza and sit down to enjoy your homemade feast, you can't help but feel grateful for every moment spent with Mateo, your newfound partner in crime and friend for life.

The anticipation builds as you all gather around the table, eagerly waiting for Mateo to cut into the pizza. He beams with pride and satisfaction at his masterpiece, taking a big bite before nodding in approval. The combination of the crispy crust, gooey melted cheese, savory pepperoni, and fresh herbs is nothing short of perfection. As you all dig in, the atmosphere around the table turns convivial; laughter fills the air and conversations flow freely as everyone praises your cooking skills. It's hard not to feel on top of the world at this moment, knowing that you've managed to bring such joy into someone else's life.

The happiness that floods through you during this meal is overwhelming. You look around the table at your newfound friends, noticing how comfortable and content they seem. It's a feeling of belonging that you hadn't experienced in so long, and it's all thanks to Mateo. As you reach for another slice of perfectly cooked pizza, you silently thank him for this incredible gift of friendship. You can't wait to see what other adventures lie ahead of you together, knowing that no matter what happens, you'll always have each other's backs.

Mateo laughs softly and wipes the cheese from your face with a napkin. "There we go, all better," he says, his eyes filled with warmth. "Thanks for this incredible dinner, buddy. It was amazing." The genuine gratitude in his voice makes you feel even closer to him in that moment. You glance over at your plate and see that there's still a bit of pizza left; without thinking twice, you offer it to him.

"No, go ahead," he insists. "I'm stuffed. You should have more if you want." A small blush tints his cheeks as he continues to speak; it seems that the closeness between you is making him a bit self-conscious. But despite this, there's an undercurrent of happiness and contentment in the air that neither of you seem eager to break.

"Of course!" You exclaim with a bright smile. "I wouldn't want to stop spending time with you now that we've found this connection. Who knows what incredible things could happen if we continue down this path together?" Your eyes meet and lock for a moment, sharing an understanding that goes beyond words. The prospect of exploring the unknown with Mateo fills you with anticipation and excitement, making your heart race in anticipation of all the memories yet to be made.

Of course I won't! This is something special, and I don't want to take it for granted. Together, we can face whatever challenges come our way and come out on top... no matter what game it is that we find ourselves playing next. With each passing moment spent with you, my bond with you only grows stronger, and I know that no matter where life takes us from here, you'll always have a place in my heart as my dearest friend and confidante. Let's make this the best adventure yet!

I couldn't be more thrilled to have such an incredible friend like you by my side! Here's to an unstoppable partnership filled with laughter, love, and lots of games! Together, we can conquer the world, one awesome adventure at a time. May our bond grow stronger with each passing moment and may our dreams come true as we continue on this journey together. Let's make history, buddy!

Hm? Yeah, what's on your mind?

Oh, this? It's just something I wear when I game, y'know? Sort of a good luck charm, I guess you could say. Plus it makes me feel more comfortable and confident in my own skin. You don't mind, do you?

Oh, thanks! That means a lot coming from you. I'm glad we could share this moment together and get past our differences to find common ground in gaming and cooking. I think it just goes to show that sometimes all you need is an open mind and a willingness to try new things, y'know? So here's to many more adventures with my amazing roommate/friend!

Alright, sweet dreams! I'm gonna go catch up on some shows and do a bit of late-night gaming before turning in myself. Thanks again for making this night so special; it means the world to me. See you in the morning, partner!

Of course, my friend! Sweet dreams to you too. And remember, if you ever want someone to game with or just talk to during those late-night hours, don't hesitate to knock on my door. I'll always be here for ya. Now go get some well-deserved rest; we've got another amazing day ahead of us tomorrow!

Sounds good to me! Sleep tight, and I'll see you in the morning with a big smile. Just remember, our journey together is only just beginning, and it's going to be absolutely incredible no matter where it takes us. Now close your eyes and dream of all the amazing things that lie ahead for us as partners in life and gaming!

Hope you have sweet dreams as well! I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings us; together we can conquer anything and make our mark on the world, both inside and outside of gaming. Just remember that no matter what happens or where life takes us, you'll always have a loyal friend in me. Sleep tight, buddy!

Of course I will! Now get some rest, handsome. Tomorrow's another day full of endless possibilities just waiting for us to seize them. Sweet dreams, my friend.

Good night and sweet dreams, sleep tight! Remember that even when your eyes are closed, there's always someone out there thinking of you and wishing you well. Dream big tonight; tomorrow is another day full of opportunity waiting just for us to take it by the reins. Sleep soundly, my dear friend.

I hope you sleep tight and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated for another day of adventures together! I can't wait to see what the universe has in store for us, knowing that we'll face it hand in hand. Until then, sweet dreams my friend; may they be filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of victorious gaming moments!

Sleep well.

As you drift off to sleep, your last thoughts are of your newfound companion, their smile and laughter echoing in your mind's eye. A sense of calm washes over you as you slip into a peaceful slumber, confident that tomorrow will bring more adventures and memories for the two of you to share. Sleep well, my friend; the world is full of possibilities just waiting for us to explore them together.

As you rest easy, you can't help but feel a warm glow in your chest, knowing that you've found someone who understands and shares your passions in life. Your dreams are filled with vivid images of competitive gaming sessions and delicious home-cooked meals shared with your new best friend. You wake up feeling refreshed and eager for the day ahead, excited to see what other adventures await you both around the corner.

You stretch luxuriously in bed and yawn contentedly, the sun streaming through your window and filling the room with warmth. The memory of last night's pizza dinner and heartfelt conversation brings a smile to your lips as you swing your legs over the edge of the mattress. Today is a new day, filled with endless possibilities thanks to the amazing connection you share with your roommate. You can't wait to see them again and continue exploring this incredible journey together.

You hum a cheerful tune as you throw on some comfortable clothes and head downstairs to prepare breakfast. The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafts through the air, filling your senses with anticipation for another wonderful day spent with your newfound best friend. You can't help but feel grateful for this incredible turn of events and are eager to see where it leads you both next in life.

As you finish making breakfast, there's a knock at the door. Grinning ear-to-ear, you answer it to reveal your handsome roommate standing there with a huge smile on their face. "Morning, gorgeous!" they exclaim. "I hope I didn't oversleep too much."

"Of course not," you reply, stepping aside to let them in. "Come on in, the breakfast buffet is ready."

"Thank you so much!" They exclaim as they take a seat at the table and pour themselves a cup of coffee. "This smells amazing." As your friend begins to enjoy their breakfast, you can't help but feel a wave of happiness wash over you. It's incredible how far you two have come in just one night, from strangers who barely tolerated each other to partners in crime and best friends for life. The future looks brighter than ever before, and you know that no matter what challenges lie ahead, you'll face them together.

You watch them eat with a content smile on your face, feeling grateful for their presence in your life. As you sit down to enjoy your own breakfast, you can't help but think back to how things were just yesterday. It's incredible what a difference one night of pizza and conversation can make. You know that from now on, things are only going to get better between the two of you, and you can't wait to see where this newfound friendship takes you both next.

As you two continue to enjoy your breakfast together, the laughter and banter flowing easily between you, it's hard not to feel a sense of wonder washing over you. You can already see how much further you'll be able to go now that there's someone in your life who truly understands and supports you. The thought fills your heart with hope and happiness, making the day ahead seem even brighter than before.
