My ghost roommate [Sonadow]

Ch.2 [Unpacking]

3rd person pov:

Saturday morning, 7am
.
.
Knock knock knock~
.
.
Shadow groans to the knocking waking him up, turns to the side and tries to go back to sleep but the knocking thus continues.

"Shadow~" a feminine voice calls out from behind the door. Its Rouge. She continues her knocking, knowing well that Shadow's awake and could hear her.

Shadow eventually opens the door, looking very mad, looks down at Rouge and mumbles ; "What do you want Rouge." Rouge on the other hand doesn't seem to mind Shadow's angry face and just walks into the dorm to look around.

She turns the lights on and her facial expression turns from cheerful to instant terror once she saw how utterly filthy and abandoned the dorm looked. She turns to Shadow and looks him dead in the eyes..

"Shadow the Hedgehog, what's the meaning of this??" ; she says and Shadow rolls his eyes. "You know what, I don't even wanna hear anything from you." ; she mutters, bends down to grab a towel from Shadow's open baggage and tosses it to the tired striped hedgehog.

"Go take a shower, we got lots to do!" ; she demanded. Shadow still being half awake just does what she says. Its too early for conflict he thinks for himself before walking to the bathroom.

Shadow's POV:

I groan in annoyance while trying to locate the light switch in the bathroom. Who does she think she is? To boss me around? She's lucky she's the only person I can somewhat stand.

Finally my hand finds the light switch and reveals the bathroom. It wasn't as small as I thought, had a tub and a shower with no windows. Spider webs and dust but I really don't care.

As I was taking off my clothes, preparing to shower, I realised and thought to myself ; wait, when did I turn the lights off last night?

I didn't think much of it and thought I had probably just forgotten that I did since I was so exhausted but then I realise..

I never opened my baggage yesterday.

I'm more than sure I never opened my baggage. I threw it on the floor behind the couch but I never opened it. Did someone come into my dorm while I was asleep?

I started getting frustrated and angry at the thought and decided to shower and talk to that desk lady again right after.

~Later~

Once I had finished, I walked out of the bathroom to find Rouge half done getting rid of all the dust and webs. She noticed me and flew down ; "Finally, what took you so long?"

She tossed me her dust wand and demanded me to help her get rid of all the dust. Still being too tired to care, I agreed and helped her. Once we were done with that she looks at her phone and drops her cleaning tools and gasps;

"My! Its already 10am, I have to get going!" She rushes and grabs her purse, before she ran out the door she turns and glares at me.

"You unpack your baggage and all while I'm gone, I'll be back to check on you in about an hour. You better be finished by then!"

She slams my door and I see her silhouette, behind the closed curtains, walk away. I sigh and feel somewhat disappointed for letting myself get bossed by that bat. I suppose a part of me knew she was right about having to clean this place up.

I grab my open baggage that was still on the floor and think even harder about how it opened. It was open before Rouge came so it couldn't have been her and I'm fairly sure I never opened it.

My thoughts wander off until I snapped back into reality once I heard the flick of a light switch. Now I was facing the bedroom of my dorm and it was also somewhat big. The bed had been done and there wasn't any dust nor webs in here so I assume Rouge cleaned up in here while I was in the shower.

I open the closet and begin hanging my clothes in it, while doing so I felt an unpleasant feeling of someone watching me so I dig through my baggage for my gun and turns around to shoot the person behind me without hesitation only to find nobody there.

I guess I'm still very tired. Before you ask, I have permission to carry pistols with me since I had a license to prove I'd use it responsibly and only for self defense.

As I almost finished unpacking I heard footsteps outside the bedroom door and instantly reacted by quietly grabbing my gun again and walking up to the door carefully.

Someones in my dorm. And whoever the fuck it is has to be the one who broke in last night. I hear the footsteps coming closer and closer and as soon as I felt it was close enough to the bedroom door I jump out, grab their neck and slam them against the wall while pointing my gun on their head-

I instantly dropped them once I saw who it was and yelled out ; "FUCK, why did you sneak in like that without saying anything!?"
It was Rouge. She pushed me away from her and yelled back ; "Ouch you asshole! I just forgot to bring my cleaning tools dick!"

I sigh in annoyance, I fucking can't with this woman. "Its not like they're yours you know! I couldn't find your dorm tools anywhere, I guess you didn't have any so I got my own while you were in the shower ugh" ; she says.

"Whatever, its not the first time you've almost shot me in the head." ; she mutters which triggered me. "Yeah well maybe this wouldn't happen so much if you would stop sneaking up to me." I cross my arms.

We argued for a while until she gave in. She told me to go finish unpacking so she can apologise by buying me breakfast since I hadn't eaten yet.

Its bad we're both very stubborn but at least she knows when she's wrong and that we can both always somehow still end up friends after every argument. I finished unpacking all my things and she got all of her tools, when we were about to leave I felt a little guilt and let out ; "I'm uh sorry for your head if it hurt."

She didn't quite catch it and went ; "what?" So I flipped her off. She just looks at me confused.

Anyways we were gonna go to her place first so she can leave the tools there and then go to the café she mentioned that was nearby the dorms building.

Suddenly I felt like eating something sweet and fluffy...
