Chapter Two

Name: Gon Freecss

Major: Biology
Dorm: 504

"Leorio," I shout across the courtyard, my eyes catching my doctor friend, who was talking to someone.
He turns around the facing me, arms instantly shooting into the air. "Hey, Gon. What brings you down to this end of the campus?"
I finish running over before giving him a high-five, which is our usual greeting. "I was just wondering around. I got here earlier than my roommate so I'm just waiting for them to show up. I don't want to take the room they want, in case they have a preference."
"Too nice, as always. One day you're gonna end up in a bad situation because of it," Leorio sighed, before pushing his glasses up.
"How does that have anything to do with letting my roommate choose the room they want?" I asked, very curious about Leorio's thought process, as always.
"Well... I couldn't pass up the chance to pass on some wisdom," he mumbled which caused the other person to laugh.
I recognized the blonde beside him instantly. It was one of the dorm managers, Kurapika Kurta. He had shown me around the campus a few times, so I considered we were on the grounds of becoming friends, or something along those lines.
"That just makes you sound older than you already look, Leorio," Kurapika, said, flicking his eyebrow up in my direction. I laughed at the way Leorio's face twisted with rage.
"Well thank you, blondie, for the information. I'm gonna go up to the dorm now, and, maybe, I won't be harassed by you anymore," Leorio grumbled, starting to stomp off towards the dorms.
"Okay then, see you later," Kurapika said to both of us, knowing that I'd be going with Leorio.
"See ya," I shouted back before trotting up to Leorio. We walked in silence for a bit until I started to hum a little tune, which Leorio joined in on after he learned the repeat. This continued till I changed it up, causing Leorio to stumble and me to laugh.
It didn't take us long to get up to the fifth floor, where both of our rooms were. 504, that was the dorm number I was in. I was actually quite happy with it, because it wasn't right at the doorway, but wasn't in the middle of the building, so it wasn't really noisy, but I could still move around freely.
Leorio had room number 500, which he was all too happy about, but, when I reminded him that he was the one that often threw the parties and would cause the most ruckus, he shut up.
"So, do you have any information on your roommate?" I asked once we reached Leorio's room.
"Information? I've met the guy already. He looks like he's gonna be introvert because as soon as I said hi, he responded then told me that I could throw parties, so long as they never went into his room, then holed up in his room," Leorio jabbed a thumb towards the door. "He hasn't left since."
I nodded, then sat at the island. "Well, maybe he just needs to warm up to you. You know that you're not the most approachable person on the planet. He was probably scared off by how old you look," I offered up.
Leorio ran a hand down his face, a low groan exiting his mouth. "Jesus, Kurapika's wearing off on you, isn't he? I should've never introduced you two."
I laughed. "Well, you might have to deal with three people tag teaming on you. I plan on making my roommate a friend. It'll be awesome. I've always wanted to have a friend for a roommate."
"What if it's a girl?" Leorio asked, raising his eyebrows in suggestion.
I pushed his face, grimacing. "Ewe, Leorio, I wouldn't ever plan on doing that."
"Ahh, you'll forever be that little middle schooler I met. Forever blind to the ways of the world," Leorio, stared off into space as if he was thinking about the good old days.
"You're aging yourself, again, Leorio," A witty voice said from the doorway, where Kurapika leaned against the frame.
"Why are you here? I thought I told you to be gone?" Leorio yelled, which caused me to laugh, again.
"Calm yourself," Kurapika rolled his eyes, then pointed at me. "You're roommate came to a little while ago. I thought I'd let him settle in before he'd have to deal with you."
"You're mean... wait, you said he's here!" I yelled and began to hop around the room, which probably pissed off the people underneath of Leorio.
Kurapika nodded then stepped out of the way, allowing me the rush through the doorway towards my room. I couldn't help the smile that was claiming my face.
I wanted to meet him, to get to know him, figure out some new things about this person. Would we be friends? Or would we be like Leorio and his roommate? I really hoped it was the former.
Coming to my door, I jammed my key into the door. I was so jittery that it took a few seconds for me to actually get the door open, but when I did, I pushed it open as hard as I could.
I looked over at the kitchen then let my eyes wander across the room until the landing on a head of white hair sitting on the couch.
I had to hold back the gasp that came up my throat, which caused me to drop my smile for a second, much to my dismay. The person in front of me had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, an electric blue that twirled around like a thunderstorm. His hair was like a clouded and I didn't have the slightest doubt about whether his hair was a natural color or not because it looked it. Though hunched over I could tell he was tall, not an as tall as me, but tall, and you could see the muscle definition in his body, which had pale white skin covering it, riding of the sharp edges of his body.
"Ahhh, you must be my roommate," I finally get out. I was to caught up in looking at him to realize that it was silent. He was just so... hot.
