"So what did you and your friend do after I left?" I question, a little curiously. "Is it really any of your business?"
"No! I'm just wondering. You might have used my bed. Why do you hate me anyways? Like I don't know what I'm doing wrong." I sneer and kick my shoes off to show my frustration.
He goes to the door and locks it. Slowly, sitting on his side of the room at his desk. "Look, he's not even gay. If that's what you were thinking. I don't like him either."
I've completely got my hopes up for Shawn only to realize all this flirting was probably just being friendly. From him giving me extra change to him to him touching my chest. It was only a gesture of kindness, not any interest to me.
But, I have another concern. "So? What are you implying anyways... Why do you think you have to tell me that?" I say softly. "N-nothing. I'm not implying anything." Matthew stutters awkwardly.
"That's your way of seeing if I was gay. Just as I talked about you using my bed with Shawn. And yes I'm a homo. So maybe that's why you hate me as your roommate. I can leave if you want." I stand up heading for the door but he stops me, his hand gripping my wrist.
"I'm gay too." Matthew tells me flat while giving me this direct contact that we've never really shared too much before.
And what do I say? All I can comprehend is, "Oh."
"We've been roommates for a while and I've only hated on you because, I just... I think you're really cute and I use to try to push you away because I didn't want to actually catch feelings!" He says it rather fast and it makes my cheeks hot and bothered, a whole lot.

"Have you caught any?" I ask Matthew, realizing his hand was still against mine.
"No. At least, not now. It's just a physical attraction right now. And I really don't want to form a crush with my roommate." Matthew admits and I nod. "I couldn't agree more."
"So are we friends? Should I just put purposely hate you so you don't like me or something? I have this charm you know. People fall really easily for me." I wink.
Matthew laughs and let's go of my hand, sitting back down on his chair. "Yeah. Friends."
"Oh and do you know why I didn't want you around Shawn?" Matthew takes a deep breath and rubs the sweat off his thighs. "I was afraid you might like him, as a friend, more than me."
Thing is, it's so true. I don't even know a thin about Shawn, besides him as a straight guy always coming to my shop for condoms, and, yeah... I like him, and maybe more than a friend.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Practically, I am weak because "I AM A WEED!" [Author Disappeared. ]
God could have made her into a human, elf or even an ugly goblin after reincarnation. BUT WHY THE HECK MUST IT BE A WEED?! Not only does she not have her arms and legs,she also doesn't have a mouth to talk.She doesn't even have friends to talk to!And to add insult to injury, the god even likes to prank her! Where is she? Why did she die? Or perhaps she didn't die but was just transported into this world by mistake. She found out that she wasn’t just a simple weed in a simple world. Perhaps, this is an RPG world and she is the main character. If so, will she even survive this world as a weed? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Inspired by Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken [TSSDK], Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka?, Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou, Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Warning: Even though this is not my first time writing, I am not a native English speaker. My grammar might be *not good* for some people but I assure you that it's readable. There are a couple of authors that help me with proofreading some chapters, but because I want to release faster, I do not go through proofreading and post as soon as I finish a chapter. Plus, I am now using Grammarly.com There is no romance for the MC in the story, like you may expect, even though there are a lot of good looking men and women. *mild spoiler* After chapter 3, The mc meets quite some friends, before grinding her level after chapter 15. I assure you, it will be really hardcore for her since she will have to fight alone while her friends are doing other things. *spoiler end* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From now on, an update will happen every two week. I will also edit the old chapters on Monday. The people that want to read a proofread/edited version, will have to check it on Tuesday. ON HALT! Many thanks to Cool3303, Alverost, BloodTear, Vijaykakani and Nekolyn Emi for proof reading the chapters. If other want to take this story, go on. Do not have to credit the author. Author on a journey to death.
