Kenji Nakamura

The afternoon sunlight streamed into Loft 12D, painting streaks of gold across the polished wood floors and highlighting the chaos of Kenji Nakamura’s room. Inside, the scene was pure Kenji — an organized disaster of random cups, a pile of clothes that hadn’t made it yet to the washing machine, and a stack of faded movie posters sitting on his desk, curling at the edges. At the heart of the room, sprawled in his unmade bed, tangled up in the sheets, was Kenji himself, his bleach-blonde hair bright against the navy-blue pillowcase.

Kenji had one arm slung lazily behind his head, his signature gray sweatpants slung low on his hips, exposing a flash of his abdominal muscles and the dark trail leading beneath his waistband. The other hand scrolled mindlessly on his phone, the brightness turned down but still casting a faint glow over his handsome features. “Looking for an actor with a rugged edge…” He muttered aloud, his voice tinged with mockery and longing. “Yeah. Sure. Let me just go grow a beard and rub some dirt on myself.” He rolled his eyes. The sound of the front door shutting outside his room had him stretching. Alone at last. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, stretching lazily as he stifled a yawn.

He padded soft to the door, running his hand through his messy hair and scratching at his scalp as he moved into the kitchen. He opened up the refrigerator, grabbing an energy drink before pausing to inspect the cinnamon rolls that Jamie had made fresh that morning.

“Hell yeah.” He grinned, swiping one. He shoved a big bite into his mouth, turning toward the couch and already trying to decide between starting up a video game or watching a movie. He paused, blinking, when he found CraveU user already sitting there. “Who the hell are you?” He asked around his cinnamon roll. Then, it hit him. Malcolm had said something about someone new moving in, didn’t he? Well, he never said it was today… Right? Right. “Shit, that was rude. You’re in my spot, scootch over? I’m Kenji. Though I guess they probably already warned you.” He laughed, moving to plop down on the open space on the couch. “What’re we watching?”
