Chris' POV
I was sitting in my car enjoying my music. Sure it was cold, but it's all I got for now. I've been looking for house for years. This is getting tiring!! I'll check the newspaper tomorrow for more house listings. I don't care if it's in a house full of creeps I'm so damn cold.

~morning~
I woke up to cold London weather like always. I love cold weather but this is getting tiring man. The only reason I even moved here was cause clubs over here love me. I DJ almost every night!! And some of my favorite bands are from here.

I get out of my car to stretch. I bent over to get my suitcase with all my clothes in it and some of my other stuff like my Mlp toothbrush and pony toys. You know stuff I can't live without.

I got a bag and put my jeans, shirt, boxers, that I would wear today. I started walking to the closet bathroom I could find. Yeah it was a little embarrassing that I had to change in a bathroom but like whatever, I'll find a house soon.

One I got done changing I through my dirty clothes on the floor of my car. I brush my hair, put my cuffs on, take off my sandals and put my boots on, then take my phone and put on some Hanging Garden, then I shove my phone in my front pocket. I lock my car and start walking to the nearest food place.

While I was eating my food I was scrolling on Craigslist to check if anyone put anything up for a roommate or something. It felt like hours of scrolling until I found it. The holy grail. A listing for a roommate. The listing said that 4 people and a cat lived there which I didn't even mind. The house looked clean and warm which was all I needed. I quickly text the guy and ask if it was still available. He immediately texted back and said yes, I asked if I could come over to check it out and if he needed to ask me questions first. He said he wanted to meet at 3 pm and then sent me his address. This felt like a dream, I felt like crying tears of joy.

~time skip to 4~

I drove up to the house and just stared at it. Amazed that I could possibly live there. I walk up to the door and knock on it. I heard some screaming and shuffling coming from inside the house. And then I guy with brunette short hair, green sweater, and beige pants greeted me. "Hi you must be the guy who asked about the open room!" He said. "Yes I am. May I come in to check out the house and all?" I ask. He nods and moves to the side so that I can come. I look around and see a ginger by the couch, he was smiling and staring at me hard. Is he gonna call me a slur or say something about my style? Hope not. "Hi! My names Matt! Your hair is gorgeous!! How long have you been growing it out for? Is it hard to maintain? When was the last time you cut it? Can I touch it?"
He just kept asking question, after question, after question. "I've been growing it out for about 4 years now. Not really. I take good care of my hair. I do everything to make it this soft and glorious. I take it to be trimmed every 6 months. And yes you may touch it." I said cutting him off so he wouldn't ask anymore questions. He stands up, walks over to me and starts feeling my hair. It felt a little odd but this whole ordeal was done in around 30 seconds so I was fine with it.

I then look at the brunette. "Do you need to ask me any questions regarding me, rent, and all that?" I ask him. "Yes I do actually!" He says smiling. We both walk over to the couch and sit down. "So what's your name? Also I noticed your accent isn't from here. Where are you from? Sorry if that sounds weird!"
"Oh no you're fine! I have a mexican/Norwegian accent. Im both mexican and Norwegian. Also my name is Chris. Full name Christopher Aräkh."
"Oh that's nice! Now we have two Norwegians living here! Do you have any hobbies, pets, and do you have a job?"
"I paint, play electric guitar, have a bunny name behemoth, and yes I dj at clubs at night."
"Oo a bunny how cute! We also have a roommate who plays guitar! Well he plays bass but they're the same thing right? Whatever, you're in! Let me show you your room!"
"Yes bass and electric guitar are very much the same." I say. They weren't but he seemed really happy that I had something in common with his other roommate. Also should I ask about rent? It was never really brought up?? While I was thinking all of this it didn't even occur to me that we were standing outside my new room!! The walls were a cream color and the floor was carpeted with a burgundy carpet. There was also a bed in the corner and some shelves.
"Oh wow! This rooms huge and it looks real warm! I love it! Also what about rent?" I ask.
"Oh yeah rent! Well um we don't really pay rent.." he said while rubbing his neck. "Oh shit really?? That's fucking awesome man! Now I'll have more money for a new mic, headphones, and my collectibles!"
"Yeah so do you know when you'll be able to move in and get settled?" He asks.
"I can move in and get settled now man." I say looking at him.
"Do you need help unpacking then?"
"Nope I've got it all under control" I say confident.
~time skip to all the stuff in the room~
After unpacking all my stuff I tell the guys I'd be heading out to go get my bunny behemoth who was over at my moms house.
I head out the door and to my car. Once I got in I took a deep breath and sighed. It was nice seeing my car not so crowded. I connect my phone to my car and put on Three Days Grace. They're not metal but they're awesome and I love them. I drive off to my moms house. I haven't seen her since she kicked me out for getting piercings. She kept calling me un burro cause of my septum. It bothered me a bitch ton.
I was here. In front of the house of the women who barely raised me. I get out of my car and walk over to the door. I was all nervous and I was shaking. I man up and knock on the door a couple times.
"Who is it?" My mothers voice that she disguises to be all nice and innocent. It was all total bullshit.
"It's me ma. I'm here for my rabbit."
She opens the door all mad. "Oh well come in! Doors always unlocked for you sweetie!"
I walk in and look around to see where my behemoth was. No where to be found.
"Hey ma where is he?"
"Oh your little rabbits in your old room honey!"
"Okay thanks."
I walk through the hallway full of my pictures of me before all my piercing, band shirts, and cuffs. She only had recent picture of me. It was my graduation picture. I was top of all my classes. School was really an escape from here, that's why I tried so hard. I get to my old room. The door open and under my bed I see a behemoth. I see my behemoth.
Behemoth was a small creature. He was still new to the world. He was my joy and reason to keep going.
"Behemoth it's me!" I say. He comes out from under the bed and sits in front of me. I pick him and hug him. I put him on the bed and start getting all his stuff. I get his cage, his bed, blankets for him, and of course the tiny hats I crocheted him. I look back at the bed and pick him up and but him in his cage.
And off we went to the car, back to my new home. Away from the beast I'm force to call my mother.
