Husband material

Rachel screamed before she could stop herself. Realizing what she had done and the startled, warning look Chris was giving her, she slapped a hand over her mouth and looked around at the people looking at them in the school cafeteria, apologetically. 

"I'm so sorry. I was carried away." She whispered before leaving the seat across from him to sit directly beside him. 

"For real? It's Sato?" She whispered eagerly, her eyes lighting up.

Even though Sky had told him not to tell anyone, he didn't want to keep it away from her. She was the first "friend" he had made here and he needed to at least be open with her considering how she had told him about Sato yesterday. 

"I was surprised at first. But yeah. He is my roommate. And I'm not supposed to tell you." He said this in a carefree manner as he sipped his apple juice.

Wait... why was he 'not supposed to tell her'? 

Sky's stupid rules were beginning to get into his head. 

"I cannot believe that this is my second year here and you first got to meet him up close in your first week here! How is he like up close? Is he the same? What about his body? Is it as perfect as it looks with clothes on?" 

"Wait..." Chris raised a hand to stop her rambling and asked, "How would I know that?" 

"Guys usually stay shirtless in their rooms! Tell me. What is he truly like?" She asked excitedly. 

Well, not Sky. Because Chris had never seen his bare body. He didn't even get to see him this morning because by the time he woke up, the room was already empty. 

"I have only known him for what? A few hours and you expect me to know what he is truly like?" 

"Tell me something. Anything. Please." She asked desperately. 

He almost rolled his eyes at her desperation. He wanted to tell her he was an asshole. A narcissist. He was arrogant and full of himself. But that would just be him being petty. What was the point in shattering Sato's good image? He wouldn't gain anything. But on the other hand, that dude seemed like the type to care about maintaining his image. 

"He is... okay, I guess?" He shrugged. 

She was still waiting for more. 

"Fine! He brought me dinner and gave me a towel to clean my hair so I wouldn't get cold. He also gave me a blow dryer to dry my hair."

Now that he thought about it, the guy was kind of nice. Just a bit.

"Oh my! What a husband material. I so want to be you right now." Her already sparkling eyes shone even brighter as she cupped her face. 

"It's not that serious."

"Easy for you to say when you live with him. Did he say anything about a girlfriend?" 

"We just met!" He snapped.

"Guys talk about these things!" She snapped back. 

He remembered asking Sky, but the dude hadn't answered that particular question. He decided to ignore her and just continue his drink. The juice here was pretty addictive. 

Rachel didn't say anything, but he noticed she was giving him a weird look, which he ignored. 

"Should I be hopeful that the two of us won't be fighting over him one day?" 

He choked on his drink and coughed a few times, his hand covering his mouth while staring at her in confusion. 

"Why... would I fight over him with you?!" He asked in disbelief. 

"I don't know. But please don't like him." She pouted. 

"You already said he's not gay or bi or whatever, and besides, I don't think he is either."

"The problem is not him, but you."

Chris laughed in amusement. "I don't think I would."

"'You don't think'?" She quoted suspiciously. 

He didn't give her a direct answer and just shrugged instead. 

The sudden squeals and noisiness in the cafeteria got their attention, and they looked in that direction. Was he even surprised to find the cause of it all was Sky, who had just entered with some other guys and ladies? 

It reminded him of those kdramas he had bumped into some friends watching. Did they think they were still middle school kids?
