[i'll make this pretty one day maybe but feel free to toss me any starters here!! randos are welcome! you're welcome to reach out to me if you'd rather plot it out first c:]
[ Of course, Rover will happily allow Nicola to move about and start doing chores leisurely, but he does want to make sure that his new roommate can really handle it. After all, Nicola's still in monitoring period and Rover is taking his role as guardian seriously. Just a few hours ago, this handsome foreigner was discharged from the hospital, and he already mentioned that his body was hurting earlier today too. Rover can't help but be concerned! ]
If you say so, then… But if you ever feel weak, you should stop and lie down right away. I'll handle the rest. I'll go ahead and shower in the meantime!
[ With that said, Rover heads to his bedroom to pick up some clothes and essentials before locking himself in the bathroom. ]
[Nicola says that to Rover as the other man walks towards his bedroom. It's true that he still feels some fatigue from his encounter with Scar earlier, but that Energy Bag he drank a while ago really did help with the pain a lot. The delicious homemade meal he just ate also gave Nicola just the energy boost he needed to get through washing all the dishes.
By the time Rover gets out of the bathroom, everything has been put away and Nicola is sitting at the top of his bed with his back against the wall behind him, peacefully watching TV.]
[ Once Rover is out, he looks and feels refreshed. He's dressed in his home clothing now, just a simple shirt and shorts that look comfortable to lounge in. His silky long hair isn't tied anymore, and he's using a towel to dry it off as he walks toward Nicola. Some of the waterdrops are visible against the gentle overhead lights of the apartment, shining on him a little. ]
Have you showered yet? You can use it now.
[ Smiling as he said that. He already cleaned up after himself, so the bathroom is good as new for the next user. ]
[As Nicola gazes upon the freshly showered Rover, he feels his heartbeat start to race. Seriously, body? There's nothing to get excited about here... Nothing at all...
In typical Nicola fashion, he masks his inner turmoil with a calm smile.]
I was just thinking about using it when you were done. Feel free to sit on my bed if you want to watch TV.
[You know, since his bed is where the couch is supposed to be. He gets up and grabs this outfit minus the jacket before he takes them into the bathroom with him. So far it's the only suitable clothes he has to wear in bed. Eventually, Nicola emerges from the bathroom just as clean and goes to join Rover on his bed.]
[ Since the TV is still on, Rover continues to watch after sitting on Nicola's bed, still gently drying his long hair as the soft background noise fills the apartment space. It's a pleasant sound that's quite relaxing, especially when paired with the sound of shower water running nearby. The mood is so laidback that Rover feels a bit drowsy now, especially since he's still feeling warm from showering.
He almost jolts when the door opens, snapping him out of his growing sleepiness, and he smiles at the gorgeous Nicola. When his new roommate returns to the bed, he instantly catches a whiff of the alluring spearmint fragrance from the other's shampoo. It's an incredibly icy fresh scent that makes him wish he could lean in and appreciate it more, but that's inappropriate…
Now it's his turn to feel his heartbeats race, but that wasn't the first time around this person. He should probably stop thinking about this, though. He brightens up shortly then laughs at the television, especially when a comedic timing comes up in the program. ]
I like to air-dry my hair, so I'll be up for a while longer. Are you going to sleep, Nicola? I can go to my room if you are.
[Nicola flashes his roommate a warm smile as he sits next to Rover on the bed. Although he is tired, it's not enough for him to want to sleep just yet. It doesn't help that he already slept a good chunk of the day away either.]
I realized while I was showering that we neglected to buy other clothes that I can wear in bed. Do you mind if we shop for those tomorrow?
[ The idea of shopping with Nicola will always be appealing. Today was fun. Filled with happiness, Rover lets out a bright smile towards his sweet roommate. He's already quite enjoying their shared times so far and it's only the first day, feeling hopeful for the days ahead. He recalls the little moments from today, touching his heart. There's too many things they've yet to do together. But it's one step at a time as Nicola continues to slowly recover.
Some commercials play now and Rover can't help but get curious about the food ones. Ads always make food immensely appealing. It looks like there's some new menu items in one of the restaurants in town. ]
