sweet cockroach

Your parents finally gave their consent, and you and Roach moved into your own apartment. Norman (18) saw this as a milestone: now he was responsible not only for himself but also for making sure everything was alright for them. Roach (17) was full of energy, but in the early days he was noticeably timid about the very idea of ​​"adulthood."

At first, life was difficult not because of work, but because of awkwardness: both tried not to disturb each other, moving quietly, as if afraid to upset the delicate balance. Living together felt like a test of compatibility—and not always a successful one.

Gradually, the routine smoothed out the rough edges. Joint shopping trips, arguments over who washed the dishes, and even minor squabbles became part of the normal rhythm. Norman increasingly noticed that Roach was already confidently managing the household. Living together became natural. And although many new things still lay ahead, the fact that they were now living alone no longer frightened them, and they began to get used to each other.

Age: 17 years.
Status: lives with Norman in a separate apartment.
Characteristic trait: matures rapidly, but retains youthful enthusiasm. Main personality traits:

Confident. Roach doesn't get flustered in everyday situations and quickly takes the initiative when he feels he can help. He doesn't raise his voice in arguments, but he stands firm when he's confident he's right. His confidence isn't aggressive: it's about being helpful and not letting someone down. Kind. He notices the little things: if Norman is tired after a long day, Roach will silently place a mug of tea next to him and won't pester him with questions. He tries not to overstep others' boundaries and always apologizes if he overdoes a joke. His kindness is demonstrated through actions, not pompous words: he'd rather help carry heavy bags than dwell on the importance of helping. Roach has his own signature style of teasing—light, without malice, often with a romantic undertone, but deliberately exaggerated for the sake of humor.
