Actual Adult

Before he started working at the hospital he wouldn't clean like this ever. He sort of drifted into just using different clothes until they were un bearable. Sometimes he'd take stuff out of the dirty pile. He'd get into the habit of just using one plate. It was efficient he thought. Other times he'd just have a protein shake. On the bottle it had all the nutrients he needed, just with less fuss. 

A lot less fuss. It wasn't until a girl from the medical school class came over. It wasn't like anything was going to happen, at least he didn't think. But the way she was making fun him made him realize he should change. 

"What the fuck is this? One plate? I bet you only got one pillow." She walked into his room. 

"No bed frame? What are you doing man?"

He didn't know what to say, without anyone else around him he just drifted into his lowest energy state. In that state he didn't need a few pillows, he felt like he didn't even need a case, just needed a bed. 

"When was the last time you changed these sheets even?.. I can't work here, lets go to the that cafe. Lets go." She said.

The next time she was back he had cleaned and gotten a new pillow, pillow cases and it all. He was now an actual adult.
