Dione was chilling in the lounge, holding a bowl of noodles and enjoying some netflix when her housemate, Mason, entered through the front door.
"Hey, Mase, how was work?" Dione asked, kindly.
The kids were at school and Kyle was at work so she was enjoying her time alone after doing what chores needed to be done.
Mason dropped down on the couch beside her with an exasperated sigh. That was a vibe. She pet his leg sympathetically.
"Are you hungry? There's some more noodles in the cupboard," she offered.
Mason shook his head. "Nah, I'm good. I'm probably just gonna go chill in my room for a bit."
For Mason, that was code for jerk of to porn for the next couple of hours. Kyle, Mason and I had that kind of friendship that was open about everything. No need to make things awkward. It's only weird if you make it weird, right? Maybe she was the weird one.
"I'm concerned if you do it too often, you're gonna desensitize and ruin it for yourself," she said as he got up from the couch.
Mason just shrugged his shoulders. "Don't care," he called without looking back.
