The loft had been full of silence throughout the night, not knowing when everyone had left, or where they had gone to, but Nick wasn't going to focus on where they were at, it was a rare thing to have the loft alone and the thought of always walking around naked or just being able to hear himself think always lingered in his mind, and only he would really know if he would do such a thing as to discard his clothes. None of his roommates had stumbled on to his naked body even with the solo shower surrounding the urinals and one single stall that they called their bathroom, it was how Nick wanted it to be. He wasn't uncomfortable with his naked body, but it wasn't something he would be flashing out.

But as he entered the loft further, he placed the bag of Chinese he had bought for himself, adding an extra three boxes to his order in case he found himself eating later on, which he often did, but he would normally come to find out that either Winston, Schmidt or Jess found the food before his late night binge would occur. Letting out a loud sigh, Nick again never found himself alone in the loft like this, normally it was ruined by finding out that someone was in fact home, or that someone was edging home. As he propped himself into the L-shape of the couch, he normally indented, Nick clicked through the channels, coming across nothing in particular, as he eyed the game system in the corner of the entertainment center, something new of Winston's, something that used up all his time, as well as the television in general. But again, Nick found himself alone, as he reached for the control, flipping it to the green logo of the x as a smile formed on his face, as he leaned back more, kicking off his sneakers as they dropped to the floor, as the left foot found the crack of the couch, as it sank it, the other dangling in the air. With a relaxing state, with the system being new, and all but Schmidt being the one with the money, which he seemed to still, be against the system, as no one still had caught him in the act of playing it. Nick only knew that the games Winston had been the new shooter and some older basketball game which Nick found too sketchy for some former athlete.

As Nick started the shooter game, the bright light filled the screen as well as his eyes, the sound echoed the room, catching Nick off guard, as the sound of keys jingled as well as the door opening swiftly was unheard, as he finally heard the footsteps behind him.

"Damn guys, I am never alone" he voiced out as he turned around, meeting with the big eyed brunette. "Oh Jessica" Nick alerted himself as he fixed his posture for a moment, his feet dragging up to his body as they both rested on the couch cushions in front of him.

"Am I interrupting Miller alone time?" Jess spoke back, as she placed her purse and a lose back on the kitchen table as her eyes filled with the same bright light, now that faded into the intro of the game, bringing it to the title menu.

"What…? No, no I just thought you were Winston or Schmidt" he fought back as he darted his eyes off her finally, not realizing he had been watching her ever moment since he first heard her enter the room.

"So since I'm not one of them, you're not going to care" her hands flailed up as she sat down on the stool in front of the counter, still facing her roommate, a grin placed on her face.

"You know what I mean Jess" Nick tried talking it off as his hands gripped the game controller as he swallowed hard. "I thought you were out with your man friend anyways?" he added regretting it instantly, as he didn't want to hear her voice about the other male that he hadn't yet met.

"Cut short" Jess simply said as the room filled with the sound of only the video game, Nick only knew her bug eyes were probably glancing at the screen, intrigued into what he was going to do.

"Something about work, but it's fine, we just had coffee and talked" she shrugged pulling her jacket off, as her dress revealed, as Nick too no notice as he was still facing the screen.

As Nicks fingers hovered over the left thumb stick, Nick had no words come to him as the sound of the video game was turning fuzzy. "Did you want to play?" Nick invited her to enjoy the system with him, knowing that mostly likely Jess would say no, Winston had asked her a few times, and she always shook her waves no, right before leaving to her room, but again Nick wasn't Winston.

"Sure" Jess spoke out, standing up as she placed her jacket in her hand, folding it over her other. "Can I change first, get into something more comfortable?" she asked as she was no in front of him, looking down at the position he had made himself.

Nodding Nick stayed silent, still shocked that Jess wanted to play such a violent game with him, she was the girl who would come storming inside yelling at them to turn down the shooting, the same shooting that was only rotting their brains, but maybe Jess had some odd change of heart, and as the confused face shined itself on to Nicks face, he watched the woman leave the main area as the door shut softly behind her. Sitting up more, Nick throat only felt dryer now, not knowing how long she would be, Jess took him by surprise at time, finding she would rush sometimes, and other time she was slower than ever, depending on the situation.

As the door shut behind her, Jess seemed to cling to the back side of it with her back, as her eyes adjusted to her hue of her room, as she scanned her room. Contemplating on what to wear, this wasn't some big night, it was a night that was to be held on the couch, playing some violent game that Jess knew nothing about, a game where she didn't know the actions and controls, a night where Jess would be just like one of the guys, a normal night.

As her back removed from the door, Jessica Day rushed to her closet as she eyed the fabrics of her personal items. "It's just Nick, it's just Nick Miller, your roommate" she continued to say to herself.

This was nothing more, and it would be nothing more.

I want to post all of this, but yet I am writing this so late, and they are just killing me. So if I just think of what will happen. (Spoiler: I know a few things that will happen) But I just hope it all pans out like it is in my head, because they are just aldskfja((sorry))
