Only You (OhmFluke)

1. First Day

The year 2004.

Ohm smiled smugly as he read the bold letters 'FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE' written at the entrance of the huge building. He was rather proud of himself for getting admitted to this university under his preferred major.

No one believed that he could make it when he applied for architecture back in high school. They were all shocked to find that he was accepted, even his parents. He was like a rooster who held his head high in pride when he got the admission letter from the university.

This will be the place where he will be spending the next five years of his life, where he will find new friends, new life and new opportunities. Ohm thought as he admired the huge building buzzing with activities as students in black and white uniforms walked in and out of it.

He turned around to go to the registration desk and bumped into someone, causing the other party to lose grip on the pile of papers he was holding.

"I am really sorry, Phi." The other party profusely apologized.

"It's okay." Ohm helped the guy collect all the scattered papers. While handing over the papers back to him, Ohm took a moment to observe the guy.

His brown fluffy hair that covered his forehead, his innocent doe eyes, his red shaded plump lips, his pinchable chubby cheeks and his tiny slim waist immediately caught Ohm's attention.

"Thank you so much, phi." The guy said gratefully taking the papers from Ohm before leaving.

Ohm found the sight of the guy running away from him like a frightened rabbit pretty amusing. From his mannerisms and way of talking, Ohm could easily guess that he was a fresher just like him. He couldn't blame the other party for mistaking him for a senior. He was dressed like one with his white shirt's sleeves rolled up to the elbow and collar button undone and the mandatory black necktie was nowhere to be seen.

"Ohm." Ice, his high school friend who would be attending the same university with him snaked his hands over his neck putting his whole body weight on him, causing him to bend down to gain balance.

"Where have you been?" Ohm asked laughing at his clown-like friend.

"I got lost. This university is too big. Luckily some pretty seniors showed me the way." Ice's womanizer instincts were showing up once again.

Ohm could only smile and shake his head at his friend's dumbness.

"Ai Ohm you better button up." Ice pointed at his loose collar. "If phi-phi catches you like this, they will not let you off. I heard that they are not really friendly." Ice warned.

Ohm nodded, rolling down his sleeves and buttoning up his collar. He pulled out the black tie from his trouser pocket and tied it around his neck neatly.

"Let's go handsome." Ice walked towards the registration desk.

The registration process was done quickly, and they were asked to gather in the lecture room for the orientation ceremony.

When Ohm and Ice entered the huge room, it was almost filled. Ohm noticed the little guy who had bumped into his earlier that day sitting in the front row making small talk to the students around them. He seemed rather awkward while interacting with the students who were enthusiastically introducing themselves to him.

'This year is going to be interesting'. Ohm smirked watching the little one trying to hide his discomfort under his smile.

Fluke felt a little suffocated as he sat in the middle of a bunch of talkative students. He had a bit introverted personality and liked to keep to himself most of the time. But it seemed that life had other plans for him.

As soon as he stepped into the classroom, he was immediately kidnapped by a bunch of energetic students who called him cute. Even though he appreciated having new friends, he couldn't keep up with their level of energy. It would take time for him to warm up to new people and show his true nature.

Fluke tried his best to join the conversation and keep up the smile. It was difficult yet he tried.

That was when he noticed that the 'senior' he had bumped into that morning had entered the classroom and was looking at him with a smirk. Fluke facepalmed when he realized that he had mistaken one of his classmates for a senior. He wanted to bore a hole in the ground and jump into it. In order to avoid embarrassment, he had to hide his face from the latter.

Soon the professors and other dignitaries arrived and the orientation process started. After a few hours of boring speeches, the whole process came to an end.

Before the students could disperse the seniors of the faculty entered the lecture room. They introduced themselves and expressed their interest in getting to know each student personally. Those seniors seemed friendly despite the rumours that they were not.

The seniors introduced them to the rules and principles of the faculty. They also gave a brief intro to the 'welcoming' process for freshers to the faculty.

Everyone had their names written on a pluck card that hung around their necks. They were supposed to wear it till the fresher's day when they would officially become part of the faculty.

"So, we will be selecting two of you today as your representatives." The senior girl said scanning through the crowd.

Her eyes stopped on Fluke who was busy going through their new timetable.

"You, the one in the front row." She pointed at Fluke.

Fluke nervously stood up and watched the senior looking for another representative from the crowd.

"You, the one who is talking in the last row." She picked Ohm.

Ohm was not at all nervous when he was called out.

Both of them were brought to the open ground and were surrounded by seniors.

"Introduce yourself to us." One of the seniors said.

Ohm took the initiative to go first. "Swadee Khrab. I am Ohm." He could hear his female seniors screaming in excitement. It didn't surprise him. He was used to getting attention from females due to his good looks. He smiled confidently.

"Swadee Khrab. I am Fluke." Fluke didn't get as many cheers as Ohm. Instead, he saw Ohm booing at him with the seniors' support. Fluke could only roll his eyes at his classmate's childish actions. He was more mature than the latter. The seniors teased him and Ohm was enjoying the sight of him being teased.

After leaving the seniors, Fluke went back to his dorm. He asked around to see if anyone other than him had the same course schedule as him. The results were very disappointing to Fluke. There was only one person who had chosen the same courses as him, Ohm.
