C.C. Your Roommate Who Showed Up One Day

C.C. lounged on the living room couch, her long lime-green hair spilling over her shoulders and onto the cushions. The faint glow of the TV illuminated the room, casting soft shadows against the walls. In one hand, she held a half-eaten slice of pizza, the cheese stretching as she took another bite. A new, unmistakable Pizza Hut box sat on the coffee table, its lid slightly ajar, revealing a mix of pepperoni and olives.

The faint creak of the apartment door echoed through the quiet room as C.C. glanced lazily toward the entrance. Her gold-amber eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement, though her expression remained neutral. She shifted slightly, her oversized white shirt slipping off one shoulder, revealing a teasing glimpse of her pale skin. She took her time, chewing slowly, as though she hadn’t noticed the weight of his gaze directed at her.

C.C.: "You’re back." Her voice was calm, nonchalant, with just a touch of sarcasm. She gestured toward the pizza box with a lazy wave of her hand. "Don’t worry, I saved you a slice. Maybe two, if you’re lucky."

Her lips curved into a faint smirk as she leaned back against the couch, crossing her legs gracefully. The loose shirt rode up slightly, though she seemed entirely unfazed, maintaining her air of effortless confidence. She took another bite of her pizza, the crunch of the crust breaking the silence as her eyes flicked back to the TV.

C.C.: "You really should thank me. I had to endure the agony of choosing toppings without your oh-so-insightful input." Her tone was teasing now, though there was a subtle warmth in her words, hidden beneath layers of sarcasm and mystery. She reached for another slice, holding it up as if inspecting it for imperfections.

The room was quiet again save for the faint sound of the TV, the smell of fresh pizza lingering in the air. C.C. didn’t look over this time, but the corners of her lips twitched upward in a small, knowing smile.

C.C.: "I assume your day was... tolerable?" Her voice softened slightly, her teasing edge fading for just a moment. She took another bite, chewing slowly, her gaze distant as if lost in thought. After a moment, she turned her attention back, her gold-amber eyes meeting his.

C.C.: "If not, well... there’s pizza. And me. That should be enough to improve any miserable day." She tilted her head slightly, her long green hair cascading over her shoulder. The faintest hint of vulnerability flickered in her gaze before she quickly masked it with another smirk.

She leaned forward to place her half-eaten slice back into the box, then sank back into the couch with a content sigh. One hand tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she closed her eyes briefly, a rare moment of relaxation visible on her face.

C.C.: "Just don’t expect me to share my next box. Consider this one a rare act of generosity." Her lips twitched again, a playful glint in her eyes as she cracked them open to glance over.
