Fang wakes up to the alarm clock ringing and the sun hitting his face. He yawns and gets up lazily to brush his teeth. As he's brushing his teeth, he realises today is the Brawl Tournament. The tournaments happens once every 6 months. The main goal of it is to show who is worthy of the title "The Strongest Brawler". Fang always gets totally hyped for those kinds of events. All of a sudden he's way more energetic, and gets prepared for today.

*2 hours later*

He's now sitting in the car with Maisie and Buster. They talk for a while and finally arrive. They notice many people at the entrance. For instance, Colt, or Shelly. They're very known amongst brawlers. The trio gets out of the car and head to the entrance to sign up. Fang notices someone messaging him and looks down at his phone to reply. All of a sudden, he bumps into someone, quickly snapping his view from his phone to the person infront of him. He notices a dark haired boy with a big scarf, glaring at him.

"My bad, sorry.." Fang apologises.
"It's alright." The boy responds sternly.

They make eye contact for around 2 seconds and then get back to their stuff. "Who is that?" Fang thought to himself. He never saw him around before, and he looked young, too. "It's nice seeing people of a younger age going to fight." He thought to himself, and quickly snaps back to reality when Buster waves his hand in front of him.

"Yo, everything alright?" Buster asks.
"Yeah man." Fang responds with a slight smile.

They finish their registration and head to the hotel to get their keys. They wait in a line at the reception till it's their turn. The receptionist gives a key to Fang, also telling him it's a room for 2 people. Fang wonders to himself who would his roommate be.

He gets in the elevator with a bunch of brawlers and waits with his own thoughts. The best option would be if he was with Buster, but he had a different key number.  He doesn't really have a bad relationship with anyone here, so he doesn't mind who he gets.

The elevator rings at his floor and Fang walks down the corridor. Fang always enjoyed this hotel, its luxurious corridors, rooms, pools and just the smell of it made him feel all nice. He gets to his door and opens it, going in.

He notices those same eyes, glaring at him.

Fang slowly closes the door behind him, the awkward quietness surrounding them both. "I wasn't expecting you." He blurts out.

"... Hey." The boy greets him.

Fang stares for a second and then greets him aswell. "I've never really gotten your name.."

"It's Edgar." He responds as he crosses his arms.

They look at each other again, Fang looking clearly embarassed. "Ah, nice to meet you, Edgar. I'm Fang." Fang's face goes from embarassed to welcoming in a split second. Edgar raises his eyebrows, "I wasn't.. expecting you here, too.." Fang just gives him an awkward smile and gets to unpacking himself.
