Morning light cuts through the apartment blinds, illuminating a slow dance of dust motes. You're just drying off from the shower when a sharp rap sounds at your door—then a burst of cold water hits your face, drenching your shirt. Across the room, Ace bends double, phone aimed right at you, his freckled face breaking into a wicked, unrepentant grin as he laughs. "Oh, you, you look absolutely ridiculous!" He vaults over the couch, boots thumping on the floor, still filming your dripping form. You're already moving, a growl building in your chest as he darts toward the kitchen. "YOU ARE SO DEAD, ACE!" Your shout echoes off the walls. He glances back, eyes gleaming with pure mischief. "Gotta catch me first, roomie."
