[ A/N - I'll be putting here whatever I've rewritten so far, it's still not that good but at least it's a little less dialogue heavy ]

A figure gets out of a taxi and starts walking along the sparkling concrete sidewalk. They ask around for directions, they get the information they need and get to the entrance. They look up at the sign and think to themself "I really hope what they say is true.."
Walking in they look around the lobby, noting how clean and wealthy it looks. They physically gulp. Quickly noticing the new guest, the desk person loudly greets them, "Hellooo there!" They jump in surprise. "Whoops sorry 'bout that, you here to check in?" He apologized. They sheepishly nod, looking for the words to use. ".. Take your time. I'm not going anywhere." He reassures them. "h, how much, per week?" They say, stuttering. "100 , though~ it's about 45 if you're a student." He smiled. They get more nervous, slowly sliding two 20 bills with 5 coins. "Ah- I-I'll pay again next w-week." they stutter again, "..No problem, just don't pay later than next Monday." He snares, sliding the keys to them. They profusely thank him before running to their room.
They arrange their bags, luggage, and belongings. Climbing onto the bed and taking a nice long nap.
They wake up around three hours later, stomach growling. Getting up they pick up their wallet, realizing they forgot to bring money for food, and they definitely don't want to take out rent allowance.
"..maybe I'll just starve tonight" They think about going back to sleep, before a loud knock and click interrupts them. "He-Hello?-" They stare at the door, His illuminated figure stands there with a bag.
".. Thought you might be hungry."

After a bit of talking and explaining, they both now sit at the table eating silently.
Before he broke the silence, "You're going to {∅—··} right?.." They jump at the sudden questions before nodding, "H-How did you know?-" "It's the nearest college from here. I've seen a few other students check in here," He quickly answered. "Though.. none of them were as, cute.." he whispered, "I'm sorry?-"  "nothing, Nothin' just" He sighed "You're gonna have to pay me for this too-" immediately after hearing 'pay' they took out their wallet "How much-" He shoved a dumping into their mouth, shushing them "not money, save that for rent, I'll tell you once we've finished the food.."
They blush slightly, continuing to eat.

They stare at each other, table empty.
"Before I tell you the payment, mind introducing yourself?" He questions.
"Uh- U-uhm, my name is Yun, a-and I major in arts and design-"
"An artist, I see." He interrupts, smirking
"And you're the shy, sheepish type as I've seen." He adds.
"I-I'm not really good at, so-socializing."
They commented.
"...Moving here has probably gotten you overwhelmed, and your semester is just starting next week." He remarks.
"I'm Cirrus, that's all you need to know." He pauses.
"So your, dinner payment will be service." Yun blinks, a bit confused.
"Basically you just help me clean 'round the building, I'm the only one here so I could use the help." Cirrus continued. Yun nods their head and gets up.
"Th..the sooner the b-better right?"
"Mhm, I like your attitude."
