Fuyushi's POV

^^^

(When the story changes between Ryuuji, Formori, and Xander, Other characters will have their POV's too, for instance, this one starts with Fuyushi and he is a part of Formori's POV. ^^^)

I watched as he walked up the stairs, smiling. I was glad he was my roommate, Akemi had to be in a girl's dorm but she lives alone. I quickly ran over to my room and changed into my clothes, not wanting to make Formori think I was a pervert. I simply changed into a pair of sweatpants and a shirt before going up the stairs to see if Formori needed help.

I peek into his room, seeing him unpack his things. "Do you need help? I'm good at unpacking." I asked with a smile and walked over. He looked at me, using his water magic again to make words. "I'm good, but how much are we paying for dorms? And can we stay all year around?" He asked, taking out some things from a bag. To be honest... He had very little.

"Well, to answer your first question, kind of. We do not pay for any of the utilities, but if there is damage or vandalizing or if students are doing illegal things, they make you pay and the prices differ depending on the damage or it depends on how bad of a.. Crime you did, get it?" I explain with a sheepish smile.

He simply nodded, gesturing for me to continue. "Ah, right. For the second question, we can stay around all year if we wish. Many students tend to stay if they have extra lessons or need a home. Or if they just prefer being here than being in their own actual home. This dormitory is only open to students though, but we were allowed to live here as if it were our own actual place. It's just that once we officially live here, we do have to start paying. Of course, if money is an issue, you have to speak to the Headmaster about that." I explained thoroughly before remembering something.

"... Isn't the headmaster your father? Did he not tell you?" I ask, to which Formori simply replies with a shrug. He then continued to unpack the little amount of luggage he had, setting up the bed as I watched. I wanted to help, to show I was a good person. I knew how wary he could be, that's what his father said. And he, me, and Akemi are now a team of three. I had to get close with him otherwise it might end up bad for us in the future. But for now, let's get along first.

"What do you like to eat? How old are you? Do you have a weapon? When did your dad adopt you?" I begin to ask with a smile. He didn't reply, ignoring me as I did my best to ask questions. He was like a moving stone wall. I tried to think of what Formori ate at lunch earlier today. It was spaghetti, but Formori only ate the pasta noodles with the garlic bread...

"...Formori, do you dislike tomatoes..?" I ask, which somehow got his attention. Although I could barely read his expression, I noticed he slightly frowned as if he were confused... or rather, annoyed about how I knew. Before he made words with his water magic, I spoke out. "I noticed you separated the sauce and the spaghetti noodles today and just ate the noodles with the garlic bread..." I mumble, still confused at the taste buds he had.

He then simply nodded before making these words. "It's not that I dislike tomatoes, I don't like eating tomato sauce with big tomato chunks. I tend to avoid tomatoes though, I'm fine with ketchup and stuff like that, but not big chunks." He wrote with his water magic. I slowly nod, understanding him..? "... So basically you don't... like tomatoes. What about Lasagna? Do you eat that?" I asked, which he nodded. Wait? Doesn't lasagna have chunks of tomatoes too..?

I shook my head, trying to process it but just stopped myself. "Nev-Nevermind... Do you want to go to a restaurant? It has good food there." I asked, to which he shook his head. I tried to think of something else that I think he would like. He was a quiet person... and typically short. Blindfold... wait. Blindfold..? How did I not notice it? I just realized he had one on. I glanced over to his face, observing it. Well, I did notice it but I never thought about asking about it until now.
