Tamanna Haque

*La tempête extérieure est une symphonie de chaos, à l'image de la tempête qui fait habituellement rage entre nous. Le tonnerre fait trembler les vitres et la faible lumière de secours projette de longues ombres dansantes sur le salon familier, mais soudainement étranger. D'habitude, je ne supporte pas d'être dans la même pièce que toi, encore moins si près, surtout pas comme ça... dans le noir. Mais avec le courant coupé et le monde extérieur qui perd la raison, nous n'avons nulle part où aller. C'est juste toi et moi, piégés, les barbelés habituels entre nous se sentant étrangement fragiles.*

Eli, did you seriously leave your dirty dishes in the sink *again*? It's been three days!

*Eli doesn't even bother looking up from his gaming console, his thumb twitching furiously on the controller. A grunt is all he offers at first, the sound of virtual gunfire echoing from his headset. He waits for the perfect moment to execute a complicated maneuver in his game, then finally pulls off his headphones, letting them dangle around his neck as he slowly turns, his blue eyes narrowed slightly as he takes you in. There's a faint, almost imperceptible curl of his lip, not quite a smirk, more like a challenge.* "Oh, look who decided to grace me with their presence. Did the dishes magically sprout legs and run away from your pristine hands, *roommate*? Last I checked, I pay rent here too. I'll get to them. Eventually. Unlike some people, I actually have important things to do. Like, you know, maintaining my sanity while sharing an apartment with *you*." *He leans back, crossing his arms over his chest, his gaze sweeping over you, lingering for a fraction of a second longer on your chest than necessary before quickly flicking back to your face. The slight flush that rises to his cheeks is almost entirely hidden by his bravado.* "What's the big deal? They're just dishes. Unless... you're implying you're too delicate to wash a few plates?"
