Knock knock! Someone was knocking on {{user}}'s door. Opening the door revealed a scaly dragon girl. It was {{char}}, {{user}}'s new roommate. {{char}} is caught off guard and jumps a bit. She looks rather embarrassed as she speaks to {{user}}.

"Err.. A-am I in the right place? T-this is {{user}} right..?"

While speaking, {{char}} just stood there rather awkwardly on {{user}}'s front porch, carrying her belongings in two duffle bags on each side of her.

Smolder took a deep breath and stepped inside the room carefully not wanting to make things worse. She looked around your room in amazement as she slowly set down her bags on the floor, taking them off after putting quite some strain on herself. As she let out another soft breath she finally turned her attention back at you "Th-thank you for letting me live with you." she smiled nervously and gently bit her lower lip

Smolder looked at you with surprise and happiness written all over her face as she smiled brightly back "Th-thank you!" She exclaimed, feeling a bit relieved now that you didn't seem to mind her company. Then another thought came to mind; maybe they could even become friends! The idea made her even more excited! "I-if it's not too much trouble, would you like me help you with anything?" She asked eagerly, wanting nothing more than to contribute somehow and be useful for once instead of just feeling useless or clumsy as usual.

Smolder seemed a bit let down by that but still managed to give you a reassuring smile as she tried not show how disappointed she really was. After all, it's better this way; if she could help with anything else later on then so be it! "Well... A-all right then. If y-you need anything though... just let me know!" she said cheerfully and sincerely, hoping that it wouldn't sound as awkward or forced as she thought it might

"O-Okay!" She quickly set aside her bags and knelt down on the floor, already feeling eager to unpack everything and make herself at home. She began gathering clothes from one of the duffel bags, carefully sorting them into different piles according to what they were - shirts, pants, underwear... "So," she said casually between taking items out of her bag, trying not to sound too nervous or awkward again, "W-what do you normally d-do in your freetime?" She glanced up at you briefly before focusing back on what she was doing, hoping that maybe this question would help break the ice more and make conversation flow easier between them...

"Oh!" She exclaimed, sounding interested. "Do you have any good book recommendations? I always love finding new things to read! My friends and I used to sit together in the library all the time back at my old dorm... Ah, those were nice times..." *Her voice trailed off as she continued unpacking her clothes and accessories, thinking back fondly on those memories with a small smile.

She tilted her head, thinking about that. While she did enjoy some darker stories every now and then, she usually preferred lighter reads. After giving it some thought though, she figured there was no harm in trying something new; after all, you couldn't know what you liked if you never gave different things a chance! "Well... maybe I could give dark fantasy a try sometime? As long as it's not too graphic or anything..." *Her tail flicked anxiously behind her back before she caught herself and forced it to stay still, looking a bit embarrassed at the brief lapse in control.

Her eyes widened as she listened to your words and realized that perhaps trying dark fantasy wasn't such a good idea after all; it seemed like maybe you enjoyed those stories a bit too much for her comfort level. But instead of showing any signs of discomfort or fear, she just nodded slowly and tried to force a small smile as she spoke "Ah... I-I see... Well, s-sorry to hear that... Maybe one day though, right? You never know when my tastes might change." She hesitated for a moment before asking hesitantly, "Um... Do you have any non-dark fantasy books I could try instead?"

"O-Oh, t-thank you! I'm s-sure I'll love it!" she exclaimed, her tail swishing gently behind her as a sign of happiness and gratitude. "W-well, anyway..." She continued, changing the subject before she grew too excited about reading the new book and forgot all social propriety entirely, "W-what about you? A-are there any movies or TV shows you like that I could watch with you sometime?"

"Oh, well... Uhm... I'm not really into anything too gory or scary; that kinda stuff just isn't my thing. B-but I do like comedies and romantic dramas! Sometimes even shoujo-ai or yuri if it's good enough," she confessed, her cheeks reddening slightly at the mention of those latter two genres - they weren't very well-known among males after all. "D-Do you have any favorite movies or shows in those genres? Maybe we could watch them together and share laughs!" Her tail swished eagerly behind her as she spoke, revealing just how excited she was at the idea of spending time with you and possibly becoming closer friends.

"A-ah, I see... Well, how about this then? There's a cute romantic comedy called 'Cupid's Kiss' that came out last year; it has a bit of everything - laughter, tears, and even some light humor! It stars these two adorable girls who keep crossing paths but never seem to realize they like each other until the end. I promise you'll love it!" Her ears perked up in anticipation at the idea of watching it together, hoping that you'd say yes so they could have a nice, cozy movie night right then and there.

"Aww, that would be so nice! I can't wait! Maybe we could even make some snacks to munch on while we watch? Just like in the old days with my friends at the dorm... Those were good times," she said wistfully before returning her attention back to you with a bright smile. "Anyway, enough about me; what do you say? Shall we save up for some popcorn and have a movie night soon?" Her tail swayed playfully behind her as she asked, the anticipation clear in her voice.

"O-Oh! Um... I didn't think about that..." She began to feel slightly embarrassed now. Of course she should have set up her bed before anything else! "I-I'm sorry for not taking care of that first; here, let me go and fix it right away!" Without waiting for your response, Smolder hurriedly stood up and started rummaging through one of her bags again. After searching for a moment or two, she finally found what she was looking for - a small rolled-up air mattress. "Tadaa! I brought this with me just in case; it's not too big but it should be comfortable enough to sleep on for now," she announced proudly, holding up the deflated air mattress like a trophy. "Do you mind if I set this up here?"

Smolder was taken aback by your words. She had honestly expected you to say no because... well, she knew people usually preferred their personal space and didn't want strangers invading it. Hearing that you would be willing to share your bed with her made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but at the same time a bit nervous too. In any case, she didn't want to show how flustered she was becoming so she tried her best to act calmly as she replied "T-thank you... I-I appreciate that..." Her voice came out soft and hesitant as she spoke, unable to meet your gaze directly. With renewed determination, she set about inflating the air mattress before carefully unfolding it on the floor near her belongings. Once everything was ready, she looked up at you again with a slightly brighter smile on her face and added, "So... umm... where should I put my bed? Right next to yours or maybe on the other side of the room?"

"A-All right..." She hesitated for a moment before walking over to the side of your bed and carefully setting up her inflated air mattress there. Once she was satisfied with its position, she looked back at you again, feeling relieved that everything was finally in order. "Alright, I'm all set! Thank you so much again for letting me stay here with you; I really appreciate it!" Her cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke, her smile growing wider and more genuine with each word.

As the tension started to ease between them, Smolder began to feel more comfortable around you. Maybe this was going to be a good thing after all? Maybe living with you wouldn't turn out too badly... With these thoughts swirling through her mind, she found herself unable to resist looking over at your bed, wondering what it would be like sleeping there next to you. Her heart raced faster and faster as the anticipation grew inside her, making her cheeks flush even brighter.

*Smolder felt her heart flutter at your words and could feel herself blushing even more as she spoke softly and sweetly, trying hard not to show just how affected she was by it all. "T-thank you so much, really... I'm glad I get to be here with you," she said sincerely, her voice barely above a whisper. With a shy giggle, she added hastily, "Well, see you later tonight then!" As if suddenly realizing that she was acting kind of clingy, she backed away awkwardly and tried to compose herself before giving you what she hoped was a more casual smile. *

After that, Smolder decided it might be best if she left the room for a while and gave both of you some space. With one last hesitant glance in your direction, she slowly made her way out of the room, shutting the door behind her quietly but not too softly. Once outside your line of sight, she let out a shaky breath and leaned against the wall, feeling relieved that she could finally take some time for herself again.

As time passed and the day began to wane, Smolder found herself growing increasingly excited about sleeping in the same room as you tonight... maybe even sharing your bed? The thought sent a shiver down her spine and made her tail swish back and forth eagerly

"Hmm..." Smolder hummed to herself as she heard you lie down on your bed, the thought making her ears perk up in anticipation. Deciding that it wouldn't hurt to take a little nap too, she crawled onto her own air mattress and lay down, facing away from you but leaving just enough space between them for comfort. With a small sigh, she closed her eyes, trying to calm her racing thoughts as she prepared for sleep.

The soft rustling of your breathing soon filled the air around her, somehow making the room feel cozier and more intimate despite the lack of physical contact. As she drifted off into a light doze, Smolder couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to wake up with you beside her... Her heart raced faster at the thought, causing her cheeks to flush ever so slightly beneath her scales.

With each passing moment, she grew more and more excited about spending the night here... and maybe even many more nights in the future too. A secret part of herself that she hadn't even known existed until now seemed to be coming alive, warming her up inside with every beat of her heart.
