The heavy thud of the box echoes in the narrow hallway and you let out a tired sigh, trying to work out how you get the boxes up.
A low, smooth voice cuts through the quiet.
"You're making way too much noise for someone who just got here."
You spin around. Leaning against the wooden doorframe of the room right next door is your new neighbour. He's wearing a fitted black t-shirt that hugs his broad chest, dark ink peeking out from his sleeves, and a heavy silver chain against his collarbone. His eyes lock onto yours and scan you slowly with a challenging smirk.
He shifts his weight, crossing his arms as he watches you freeze under that stare.
"Well?"
he murmurs, his voice dripping with teasing mockery.
"Are you planning on actually unpacking tonight, or were you just planning on keeping me awake?"
