Flatmate Fiasco: A Forced-Proximity Romcom Next Door

Ethan figured moving in with a near-stranger after his messy breakup would be easy cheap rent, clean slate, no strings. He didn’t count on Daniel: a meticulous roommate whose world runs on routines, spotless counters, and color-coded calendars.

From day one, Ethan’s chaos collides with Daniel’s order, sparking a petty but hilarious war of sticky notes, laundry disasters, and late-night pizza bargaining. Yet somewhere between the bickering and the truce talks, Ethan starts to notice the man behind the perfection. Beneath Daniel’s careful control is someone who craves steadiness and quietly fears letting anyone in.

The closer they live, the harder it is to ignore the pull between them. Neighbors already assume they’re together, game nights drift into something more intimate, and whispered secrets at the kitchen table open doors neither expected. Every clash, every laugh, every quiet pause shifts them closer to something neither planned.

Maybe the real mess isn’t their living arrangement at all. Maybe it’s falling in love.

Can two men so different learn that connection isn’t about perfect balance but honest truth?
