Living Together Novels & Stories

By the second year of college, the apartment had learned their rhythms. The floorboard near the kitchen creaked beneath Aaron’s early-morning steps. The bathroom mirror was always fogged by Lily’s long showers. The couch bore the faint imprint of countless late nights—study sessions, exhaustion, moments that blurred together until they felt like a single, shared breath. They lived together easily now. Too easily. That, Aaron thought, was the danger. ⸻ Lily’s life expanded outward.

“We’re already in college. Most couples live together as roommates—” “Because living in the dorms is more logical and cost-effective. Plus, it will give you the opportunity to meet more people and be socially active.” “I don’t want to meet other people. I want to spend time with you.” “And you will. We will, it’s just that… legally, we can’t live in the same house all alone yet…” Right, because he was just 18 years old and I was 20. He was a minor and I was not. Henry looked away, blushing, and then he waved to someone behind me. “Hi, guys!”

she muttered under her breath. “Five years it is!” I declared triumphantly, waiting for her to protest. None came. Too easy. “Where would you like to live?” I asked. “In the city.” I nodded. “You’ll move into my house…” Her expression said it all—she hadn’t thought that far ahead. “Wait, do we have to live together?” she asked, disbelief coloring her voice. I chuckled and clicked my tongue. “Yes, Ivy. Real married couples live together, eat together, talk to each other… have sex.”

." Ryu answered certainly and confused if Nato was joking. "But you should have mentioned that in the first place. Having a roommate is already difficult for me. And us being the opposite gender would just make it impossible for me." Ryu said in frustration. "I'm sorry that I forgot to tell you that, I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. You had girlfriends before and it's not like you have one right now. Besides, you barely get out of your room." Nato said. "Why, are you concerned that a girl will distract you?". Nato asked teasing Ryu. "Of course not. But won't it be weird for opposite genders to live together? Not for me, at least for her." Ryu explained. He never thought of

“Co-parenting.” “While sleeping under the same roof.” He finished. “That constitutes living together, baby.” My cheeks warmed under his stare and his bold words. “Don’t call me that.” He didn’t respond. “Besides, it’s temporary. There’s no point in giving out unnecessary information.” “Mmh.” He nodded to himself, taking another bite of his pancakes. “And look how that ended.”

"This is going to be our living room. I like a warm light beige for the couch, and we'll lay thick carpet on the floor so that when we have a baby, she can crawl around freely in the living room." "As for our bedroom, I think warm lightning will be best. After all, this is supposed to be a cozy haven for us, so I want us to walk in and instantly leave all our worries outside the door." Everything in this house was handpicked by us. He had once looked forward to living here together forever. But why, after only ten years, did we drift apart? "Andrew, what's so good about this place? It's so shabby and old. I'm so tired today, and my stomach hurts a little. Andrew, will you come home with me?"

She seems to be so happy telling me that. I could imagine her and I already living together in one house. We'll be so happy. We'll be so free. We'll be together every minute of everyday. We'll sleep in one bed. We'll do grocery shopping together. We'll play. We'll tease each other. We'll study together or help each other out for an exam. We can do everything we want to do just like married couples. She'll cook for me. She loves to cook even though she's rich. She says it's her hobby, cooking and baking. I think we won't starve if we move in together in college.

“An apartment.” I blinked. “An apartment?” “Not now.” He immediately clarified, like he needed me to understand. “Not because of everything happening. I don’t want to pretend things are simpler than they are. I mean eventually. Look, I’m just imagining what it would feel like for us to live together. That’s all.” My brows rose. “In the same house, together?” “Something that’s ours.” His voice became quieter. “A place that isn’t mine or yours. Somewhere we both come home to.”
