Because of corona lockdown, I got stuck with some friends of my family.
I am studying at a city kinda far from home and some friends of my parents invited me to stay with them for some different reasons.
They have two sons about my age (early 20’s). One of them is 2 years older than me and is also trapped here because of the quarantine.
I keep to myself. Some classes online, a lot of reading and just hanging in the garden with his mom. Watching A LOT of Netflix.
He stays at his room most of the time, on his computer, and plays a lot of video games.
Let’s call him Thomas.
Thomas is cute and quiet, the shy and smart type of guy. I always assumed he was big on video games cause of stereotypes, but I just found out how much.
Since routine is dead, we both sleep most of the morning and are awake until pretty late, after his parents are fast asleep. We share a wall and I can hear him screaming late in the evening… not yelling, but loudly communicating with what I assume are teammates. I can hear some instructions and chat, but also a lot of cursing and frustrations.
