"He Signed a Lease for a Cheap Room — Nobody Mentioned His Two Alien Roommates"

Описание: ☕ Marcus thought $300/month was a miracle.
Then a tentacle stole his coffee mug.

“Is this a mating display?”
“No, Zephrix. It’s called blushing.”

And that was before he realized his second roommate—Thessaly—was using the bathroom door wide open because, apparently, clothing is “formal grief attire.”

He signed a lease for a cheap room.
🏠 Nobody mentioned his two alien roommates.

Now his mornings are:

🧠 Xenobiology arguments before coffee

🐙 Tentacle “boundary violations”

🚇 Subway stories turned into alien anthropology

🍕 A cultural crisis over ground pizza (yes, pizza on the ground)

🧄 “Add love” replaced with extra garlic

🐐 And a family secret involving… goats (DO NOT ASK)

But the real problem isn’t the weird food or the cultural misunderstandings.

It’s the moment he realizes:
💥 Zephrix looks forward to him coming home.
💥 Thessaly thinks about him during her work cycle.
💥 And they’ve both been “researching” the human phrase:
👉 “catching feelings.”

Marcus has dated humans.
It always felt like a performance.

With them?
He can be awkward. Exhausted. Weird. Honest.

And somehow…
that’s the first time he’s ever felt safe.

So when they ask if the three of them is “acceptable,” Marcus gives the most human answer possible:

✅ “My culture has opinions about everything. I’m starting to ignore most of them.”

Because the cheap rent was never the real bargain.

🫱 The real bargain was finding two beings who choose him—
even when he’s a mess—
and turning “insane” into home.
