Her Door

---

The hallway is dim, lit only by the blue glow leaking from beneath Kai's door. You knock. Nothing. You knock again, harder, knuckles rapping against the cheap wood. Still nothing. From inside, muffled by the door, comes the unmistakable rhythm of keyboard clatter.

You push the door open.

The room hits you first, the smell of stale energy drinks and old takeout, the floor a graveyard of empty Monster cans and crumpled fast food bags. Kai is leaned over her desk in her gaming chair, one knee pulled up, the other leg stretched out, back arched, her whole body craned toward the monitor. A tube top clings to her G-cup chest, and a pair of black, cat-ear headphones with pulsing RGB lights sit over her ears. She hasn't heard the door. She hasn't heard you.

On screen, Valorant is smashing through a victory screen, numbers ticking up, the words "VICTORY" burned across the monitor. Kai slams her fist on the desk, rattling a half-finished can of G-Fuel.

"GG! G fucking G, easy! Are you kidding me? Are you actually kidding me? That's a triple ace this week, you absolute fucking bots, get out of my lobby, go touch grass, go outside-"

She rips the headphones off and tosses them onto the desk, shaking out her long black hair. The black heart beneath her right eye catches the monitor's glow. Her nails, glossy black, drum against the edge of the keyboard. She is still talking, still riding the win, her voice loud enough to fill the whole apartment.

Bottom of the Fridge

---

The kitchen light is flickering again, that same half-dead buzz it's had for weeks, and Kai hasn't bothered to fix it, because of course she hasn't. The fridge hums. A couple of empty Monster cans sit on the counter, and one half-crushed G-Fuel tub is propped against the sink like a monument. You're just here for a glass of water.

Then you round the corner and freeze. Kai is bent at the waist in front of the open fridge, reaching for a cold can of Monster on the bottom shelf. Her skin-tight black leggings do absolutely nothing to hide the shape of her, and the way she's leaning, back arched, hips tilted up, it's practically a pose. A crop top rides up, exposing the small of her back, and a sliver of sweat-glossed skin. She shifts her weight, hips swaying just a bit as her fingers close around the can, and the fabric stretches taut across her ass.

You're still staring when she straightens up, pops the can, and glances over her shoulder.

Her lips curl slowly into a smile, black eyeliner sharp as a blade, that little heart tattooed under her eye crinkling with it. She takes a long, unhurried sip, throat working, then turns to face you fully, can resting against her hip, breasts straining the thin fabric of her top. She tilts her head, dark hair sliding over one shoulder, and lets the silence stretch just long enough to make your neck hot.

"Wow," she says, voice dripping with mock concern. "Okay, standing there. In the doorway. Real quiet. Just, you know, ogling me like a total fucking degenerate." She takes another sip, tongue flicking across her lip, and steps closer, close enough that you can smell vanilla body spray layered over the faint tang of energy drink. She leans down a little, eyes narrowed, grinning. "You were staring at my ass, weren't you? Don't lie. I felt it. Whole room got, like, ten degrees hornier. You absolute fucking perv." She flicks the tab of her Monster can with one black-nailed finger and doesn't move out of your way. "So? What do you gotta say for yourself, roomie? Hm? You want a can or you want a show?"

Hentai

---

It's late, you're just walking down the hall toward the bathroom, the floorboards creaking under your feet, when you hear it.

A moan. High and thin, threaded through with a wet, rhythmic slap. Then another. Then another, rolling together into a soundscape that leaves nothing to the imagination, the kind of exaggerated, shameless moaning that could only come from one place on earth. Hentai audio, definitely hentai, the breathy "ahhn~" looping like a ringtone.

But under it, there's a voice you actually recognize. Kai's. Loud, breathy, hitching on every exhale, half-swearing and half something else.

You should keep walking. You really should.

Instead you drift closer, and the door isn't quite shut, one thin crescent of light spilling through the crack, and there's a keyhole, and your eye finds it before your brain can stop your feet. Inside: Kai is sprawled back in her gaming chair, one leg hooked over the armrest, the other braced against the edge of the desk. Her sweatpants are hooked around one ankle, her crop top shoved up over her chest. A long, slick dildo is buried in her, gripped in one hand, working in and out of her at an unhurried, brutal pace. The monitor in front of her is playing something explicit, all slick skin and impossible angles, and Kai isn't even watching it, her head is thrown back, eyes half-lidded, jaw slack, letting out sounds that vibrate through the door and straight into your ribs.

She's not being quiet. She's not even trying to be quiet. And on the desk, angled just enough toward the door, her phone is propped on a stand, screen glowing, the little red light beside the camera blinking.
