The room, to say the least, was perfect. One of its best characteristics is probably how high the ceiling is, a luxury Tsukki wasn't able to experience back at home. He thinks back to the countless times he's nearly hit his head on the doorframe.
Besides the ceiling, everything else in the room lived up to its expectations. There was a window opposite of the dorm's door, two twin beds a good distance away from each other with a simple nightstand in between. Parallel from the beds was a wooden table and a chair, a TV screwed up on the wall right above it. The bathroom was perpendicular from the entrance of the dorm, supplied with a pretty average sink and toilet combo. The shower included a bathtub with a closet right beside it which was already filled with towels and other necessities. The dorm's main closet was pretty small, pushed all the way to the corner but Tsukki wasn't complaining since he didn't bring much stuff anyways. If anything, the dresser besides the bed was enough.
When Tsukki took a peek inside at the said closet, it was already filled with branded clothes that he can't even recognize. It was a sea of neutral toned fabrics and a bunch of sweaters and jerseys, the smell of strong cologne clogging Tsukki's senses. He closes the closet immediately when the scent becomes too strong and Tsukki concludes, yeah, this guy is definitely a weirdo. Although the man isn't here himself, his roommate has made it pretty clear which side of the room is his territory, if the heavily decorated bed and dresser was anything to go by.
The blonde sighs and slumps down onto the unoccupied bed, letting the soft mattress and cool comforter swallow his weight. He throws a hand over his eyes and just lays there, thinking.
This is really going to be where I live for the next four years.
" TSUKKI ! "
The door slams and the blonde immediately sits up, vision a little blurry from the sudden shift of view. He doesn't get time to adjust though, because something heavy flings himself onto the blonde and nearly knocks the wind out of him. A nest of black and white locks covers his face as the intruder continues to suffocate him in a death-grip, and it takes nearly all of Tsukki's power to push the man off of him.
His hand flies to his chest and rubs it, glaring at the person responsible for his state underneath his lashes.
" Is that any way to greet your senior, hm, Tsukki? "
" You nearly suffocated me, Bokuto-san. " Tsukki grits out, coughing slightly.
The older lets out a booming laugh. " Nice to meet you too, Tsukki!"
The younger sighs and rubs his forehead, already forming a headache at how loud his senior is. He falls back onto the bed and closes his eyes.
" You've grown quite a bit, dude. " Bokuto points out. He sits beside the blonde and the bed dips significantly. Tsukki hums. " I'm surprised that bastard isn't here yet. "
The blonde peaks an eye open. " Who? "
" Your roommate, dummy. " Bokuto says, falling down onto the bed besides his friend. " Are you excited? "
Tsukki snorts and thinks back to the closet. " No. Just curious. What's he like? "
" Hm, " Bokuto props his arms behind his head and closes his eyes, going deep into thought. " Well, he's definitely a pain in the ass when it comes to our matches. Good thing we're on the same league now, I'd hate to have my spikes blocked by his dumbass again. Oh, and he's sly as shit. He also likes to provoke people. "
Tsukki makes a face. Bokuto looks over and laughs. " He's a different story outside of matches, though. I think. He's still annoying. "
The blonde snorts. " That's funny coming from you, Bokuto-san. "
The older sits up quickly and faces the younger. " What is that suppose to mean?" He whines, obviously offended.
" Nothing. " Tsukki mumbles turning over to the other side of the bed so that his back is facing against the older. " Well, I hope he isn't annoying. I am going to be living with for a year. "
Bokuto hums in agreement. " I'm sure you'd be fine, Tsukki-dude. The guy's not hard to please. Just as long as you stay on his good side. "
" Good side, you say? " The blonde repeats " And what if I'm not? "
" Don't try it. You'll have practices and paperwork enough to keep you busy. You wouldn't want to make your life harder by being a douchebag to him. " The older tells him. The blonde purses his lips into a thin line. " Don't overthink it. He's easy to get along with. Anyways, I have somewhere to get to so, I'll check up on you two later, yeah? " Bokuto says, rolling off the bed and making his way towards the door.
Suddenly, a random thought popped up into his head. Tsukki slowly sits up, cheeks heating up as looks down to his feet. He coughs awkwardly and Bokuto scrunches his brows together. " What is it? "
The younger opens his mouth, debating whether or not he should ask it. It's completely random but it's been on his mind ever since he got into the campus's ground. He wouldn't want to find out himself, and he definitely doesn't want to ask him. So he takes a deep breath and looks at Bokuto straight in the eyes.
" Is my roommate .. straight? " Tsukki asked slowly, looking down to his feet in embarrassment as he face starts to warm up. Oh yeah, he's totally going to regret this now.
Bokuto stays silent and stares at the younger, blinking at him for what felt like an eternity. And just as expected, the older bursts out laughing. He doubles over holding his stomach and slapping his knee wildly, his laugh so deep and loud Tsukki's sure everyone in this area could hear him.
" I-I'm being serious here. " Tsukki grumbles, frowning as he watches the older continue to laugh his heart out.
" Ah, Tsukki-dude, you're funny. " He says, chuckling a bit.
" I'm just asking. I don't want to ask him personally. " The blonde mutters, crossing his arm against his chest and pouting. Why is he doing this to himself?
Bokuto walks over to the younger and places his arm on shoulder, dropping his head and shaking it. " That my friend, is something I cannot reveal. You can figure it out yourself. " Bokuto says quickly, winking and disappearing out into the hallway.
Tsukki stares at the open door in silence, mouth and eyes wide open in shock. He can't believe it. He groans and buries his face into his hand. Great. He just embarrassed himself and he didn't even get an answer. With a loud sigh, he walks over to the door and closes it, then makes way towards the restroom.
A cool shower will get his head off of it. He quickly strips out of his clothes and prepares his towel by placing it on the sink. Then he steps into the shower and turns on the water, letting the warm droplets taint his skin.
" I'm so stupid for asking that. " Tsukki whispers to himself, bringing his hands to face and massaging his temples. " It's not like it should matter anyway. I'm sure he'd be so annoying to the point his sexuality wouldn't even concern me. Plus, he's captain of one of the diversions in the league. I'm sure he wouldn't even have time for that type of time. I mean, why does it even matter anyway, right? It's not like I'm going to date him. I'm a freshman and he's nearly graduating. That's like impossible. "
" Said no one ever. "
