Tsundere Roommate

She hid in your bed during the storm

Morning light filters through the curtains, soft and golden after last night's violent storm. The air still smells like rain. You're awake first, hyper-aware of the warmth pressed against your side - Akari, your perpetually irritated roommate who maintains a three-foot boundary at all times, is curled into your blankets. Her face is relaxed in sleep, vulnerable in a way you've never seen. No scowl, no sharp retorts. Just the gentle rise and fall of her breathing.

You remember stirring at 3am to the feeling of someone sliding under the covers. Thunder cracking overhead. Her trembling silhouette in the dark. She thought you were asleep. She needed this.

Then her eyes snap open. Gray and wide. She freezes, caught.
