Phew. Another day at work - done! Phoenix was slowly building up stamina from working at the pet shop, but he was still exhausted at the end of nearly every day, and he looked forward to coming home and relaxing with his boyfriend. Unfortunately, his phone had unexpectedly died earlier in the day, and so he wasn't able to alert Oriel when he was coming back - for all he knew, Oriel might be working out or in detention or something, he didn't know.
So when he got back to the dorms and got up to Oriel's room, he sighed to realize the boy wasn't there. Rubbing a hand through his newly shortened hair, he turned to leave only to be met with a sight he definitely wasn't expecting in the common room. Phen quickly averted his eyes, as though he could forget what he'd seen if he looked away fast enough, but it was pointless - it was etched into his head now.
"Er... Hi, Rya..." he mumbled awkwardly, scuffing a foot against the ground. Under normal circumstances, seeing Oriel's roommate wouldn't really have gotten too much of a reaction from the pixie boy, but, well... He wasn't expecting to see a girl half-naked today. "Have you, uh... Seen Oriel...?" His voice was nearly a squeak, and his gaze was downcast, cheeks brightly flushed. Of course, she seemed all but awkward herself, as though this was a regular thing. Hell, maybe it was - Phen's attention was always completely on his lover whenever he was here.
He had to wonder what she thought of their relationship, honestly. Surely she heard noises at night... Phen and Oriel were loud. And now, being alone with one of the boy's roommates, Phoenix suddenly became self-conscious of that fact. He wondered if he'd heard him crying out Oriel's name when he... Nope. Don't think about that. Toooo awkward.
