THE TWO OF THEM had been sprawled out within kai’s small dorm room, silence encasing them ( as it usually did ), for the better part of two hours. the loss of power had rendered kai bored, and in turn — silent. while he likely should’ve made more of an effort with someone that wasn’t his roommate in his dorm ( who’d gone home for the weekend, luckily ), but there was something in him that knew achariya wouldn’t mind too much. but even so, after two long hours he’d pushed himself to speak. ‘ you know — i can do without my phone for a bit. television ? sure. it’s just air conditioning that’s getting to me right now. ’ he sighed. ‘ how’re you holding up ? ’ // @achcriya
❝ ✗ ; ——— achariya was sitting i d l y on a comfortable chair in kai’s dorm, legs s p r a w l e d in front of her and hands rested on her lap as she was playing with bracelets her grandmother made for her back in t h a i l a n d. there wasn’t much to do with the p o w e r ou t a g e, so she decided to visit kai. these two have never talked much, but it never bothered her either. on the contrary, she was glad she could s p e n d time with someone who accepted her quieter nature and s h r e d it with her; she liked that she didn’t have to feel embarrassed or weird about it around him. leaning her head back, she began to think about what shows she could be watching on netflix right now, but the other’s voice soon snapped her b a c k into reality. she lazily turned her head so she could fix her gaze on him. "tell me about it," she shook her head and stretched her legs before she sat up. "i’m glad this didn’t happen in thailand. we had a neighbor who sweated so much in the summer, one couldn’t tell if he had just finished a m a r a t h o n or came back from england - and he did have air conditioning. i don’t even know how the poor guy would’ve coped if he didn’t." she shrugged, silently hoping the reference to the rainy english weather wasn’t too cringey, even though it wouldn’t m a t t e r—most of her jokes were, and e v e r y b o d y who knew her also knew what to expect. "i can live without television—i don’t watch it even when it’ working, but i don’t know how i’ll survive without netflix and the kim kardashian game."
