Chapter 2: Where's Your Head!?

*Eric's POV*

Today is a new day... I thought as I pulled on my tie. I stood in the mirror and made sure I looked my absolute best. I would like to impress my new roommate! Excited thoughts buzzed through my head as I waived goodbye to my apartment.

Starting down the street with my suitcase in hand, I watched for the Shinigami Haken Kyoukai College.

About a minute down the road, there it stood. It really was a shame that no one else could see it. Because what a sight it was. It stood bright and tall with glass windows and white marble columns. It was truly remarkable. And to think I get to live here! With someone else... I wonder what they'll be like...

I made my way up to the massive front doors and followed the map Mr. Spears had given me. I went down hallway after hallway and finally arrived at my destination. Dorm 34B. Wasting no time, I knocked on the door. A slight pause and the door opened just a tad. I waited patiently for whoever was inside to feel comfortable, while looking down at the name of the owner. Alan- The door opened all the way revealing someone so genuinely perfect, my breath caught in my throat.

All I could do was stare. Into a pair of the dreamiest eyes imaginable. I'm sure I looked like an idiot gaping at this handsome man. He was about a head shorter than me. With straight hazelnut hair that stopped just above his eyes. He wore his mandatory glasses which only intensified his green jewels. His white dress shirt was buttoned to the top, and instead of a tie, he displayed a black bolo with a skull decoration. His dress pants and shoes made him look sleek and sophisticated. I almost melted under his puzzled gaze.

My God, Eric! Where's you're head?! You don't even know if he's gay! I scolded. The beautiful boy then cleared his throat, instantly reviving me from my coma. I chuckled and absent mindedly rubbed the back of my neck, "Sorry... I really didn't mean to stare." I quickly tried to make up for what just occurred by continuing, "Hi! I'm Eric Slingby and you must be Alan." I took another glance at the paper just to make sure I got his name right. I then reached my hand out and smiled, trying not to make a fool of myself. Alan shook it and replied in a voice like honey, "Y-Yeah, Alan Humphries. Pleased to meet you, come in." He grinned.

As I entered, pulling my suitcase behind, I mentally scolded myself. What's wrong with me? I'm never usually like this. Just keep your cool, Eric. You can do this. The mental preparation wasn't helping. Alan Humphries was the most perfect man on the planet. And I intend to let him know.

We strolled through the dorm, which wasn't very big. As soon as I stepped in the door, we were in the living room. The kitchen was to my right and to the left was a hallway that led to two bedrooms and a bathroom. Alan led me through the area, providing commentary, "So, here's the living room, its not much but it serves well," he chuckled. "And the kitchen... and over here," He led me to the hallway. "Is my room. And I do study a lot, well, it's all I do, actually. So please, if you don't mind, I would really appreciate it if it stayed quiet." All he does is study? Wow. It's like we're polar opposites.

"Sure, of course." I genuinely replied, earning a grin from Alan. "Here's the bathroom, and this..." He opened the door to the other bedroom and stepped inside. "Is you're room." I looked around excitedly. My old apartment was much smaller than this. A window was placed in the middle of the back wall with a queen sized bed next to it, and a nightstand beside that.!A dresser with a mirror and a closet sat on the opposite wall, open and empty. "Whoa..." I chuckled at the thought of living in a room like this.

I sneaked a glance at Alan, only to find that he was already watching. He blushed and looked away as his cheeks flooded pink. He fiddled with the hem of his shirt, waiting for me to look away. He looked so adorable and I so badly wanted to make a move, but we had just met!

I promise, Alan. I will soon.
