Accidental Roommates (Inspired by Red, White & Royal Blue)

GHOSTER (Henry's POV)

Henry’s POV

  I quickly left the room when I saw my roommate was about to cry. I left him quietly to give him privacy and some time alone to let his emotions all out freely.

And also.. it’s so awkward for me to watch a big guy crying.

The first thing that came to my mind after leaving our room is to check the common bathroom and when I saw it.. I immediately thought to myself that it’s not that bad.

It’s clean, complete with stuffs that we’ll be needing and it’s also spacious. It’s more spacious than mine and my roommate’s bedroom, actually.

  But my bathroom back home is still bigger than this.

After spending a little time inspecting the bathroom, I started walking around, hoping to check the whole place.

While doing that, I’ve met quite a lot of other foreign students here like me. Most of them are from the other floors of this dorm.

I chatted with them, trying to be friendly and who knows, one of them could be a good friend to me.

And as I was talking to them, I suddenly remembered my roommate.

I find it a bit weird that I already knew the names of other students here while I'm still not sure if my roommate's name is really Alexander.

But I suppose that he’s really Alexander because.. why would he wear an underwear with embroidered Alexander on it if it’s not his name, correct?

I wasn’t able to suppress my laughter when that view from earlier suddenly flashed back into my mind and that made the students around me stared at me wondering.

  “I’m sorry, I.. I just suddenly remembered something so funny.” I explained to them while still laughing.

And in a bit later, they invited me to come with them to eat and since I’m already hungry too, I agreed to join them.

But the problem is.. I didn't have my wallet with me.

There’s this someone who’s so kind and said that he would pay for my food, but I quickly refused the offer.

I just told them to wait for me for a while, then I hurriedly ran to get back to my room to grab my wallet.

                                                         •••

  My roommate is already asleep when I went back to our room.

He’s lying on the floor and that gave me a little bit of headache because how will I be able to get my stuffs that placed in front of the closet, near his head, without interrupting his good sleep.

Even if I climbed up on the bed, it’s still not possible for me to reach them.

The bed is on the left side of the room, while my stuffs are on the opposite side. I might fell on my roommate if I try to reach for my things while I'm on top of the bed.

I was thinking.. what if I walk over him just to get at least my bag.

But I’m also afraid to do that because what if he suddenly wake up and catch me walking over him.

That’s not nice and he might get mad.

So I just looked for something that I could use as tool to help me grab my bag.

And I saw that reach extender on the corner and I immediately thought that that one will do.

But while I’m trying to reach my bag using it, I suddenly tripped over my own foot, I stumbled and lost my balance and the most thing I am scared to happen, suddenly happened..

I accidentally fell on top of my roommate’s body.

  Holy shit!

I immediately got up and ran to the door, leaving the room as fast as I can so that he wouldn’t see me in case he woke up because of what happened.
