In the cafeteria

Michael's point of view

Me and Akira were sitting together eating lunch and just enjoying each other's company when I see the same blonde girl for earlier. I've got to admit that she is really pretty, and I really want to get to know her. So, I excuse myself for a minute earning a nod from Akira and I make my way to her. "Hi there, my name is Michael." I say and give her a smile and she gives me a smile back. "Hello Michael, my name is Miku." She says. "Would you like to sit with me and my friend Akira?" I ask and point at where Akira is sitting. Her eyes widen with excitement and she nods her head. So, together we make our way to the table where Akira was sitting and waiting for me to return and gave me a smile when he saw me. 'So cute' Wait!! Did I just call him cute for the second time?!? I mean yeah, he's cute but I don't like him that way. We are just friends and I want to keep it that way, right?

Akira's point of view

Michael just excused himself to talk to that girl from earlier. I just nod a little bit upset because I was sure that he would go somewhere else with her leaving me behind. But to my surprise he returns back with the girl walking next to him. "Hi Akira, my name is Miku it's really nice to meet you." She says, and I smile back at her while shaking her hand and I could've sworn that I saw a tint of blush appear on her face when our hands touched. 'Weird' I thought but just shrug it off.

Miku's point of view

Oh, my goodness he's so handsome that I think I might faint. I try to talk to him, but he doesn't seem interested and kept his attention to Michael. Speaking of Michael every time he looks at me he always smiles which is kind of weird, but I try not to think too much about it because my main goal is to get to know Akira more because in all honesty I think I like him.

Akira's point of view

Once lunch was over Miku went to her next class and me and Michael went to sports which was our next class. To be honest I was really worried because I have to change my clothes in front of everyone including Michael which is possibly the worst thing that could ever happen to me. You all might think that I'm just overreacting since Michael is going to be my roommate, BUT THAT DOSEN'T MATTER!! It still makes me feel uncomfortable and I have zero confidence, so this is horrible for me. We make our way to the boys changing room and I start undressing just wanting to get this over with. When I was halfway through changing I looked to my left only to see a FREAKING SHIRTLESS MICHAEL and oh, my lord I can see his abs, making me so red that I could be mistaken for a tomato. "Hey Akira, are you okay? Your face is red should I take you to the nurse?" Michael asks me with concern. "What? Oh no thanks I'm fine it's just a little hot in here that's all." I say but he doesn't seem convinced but thankfully he doesn't question it anymore and puts on a shirt (making me kind of disappointed tbh. Don't judge me!!). Then we go inside the gym.

Inside the boy's dorm after sports because the other is lazy (sorry :/)

Michael's point of view

Me and Akira just came back from sports and I was waiting for Akira to finish showering so that I could shower. While waiting I just started thinking that Akira has been acting kind of off ever since lunch break. We were just talking and actually enjoying ourselves until I saw Miku and invited her to eat with us and he barely said a word for the rest of the break. And when we were changing for sports his whole face was red and he kept avoiding eye contact. What is going on with him? Did I do something wrong?

I was taken out of my train of thoughts when I heard the bathroom doors open and I was met with probably one of the cutest things ever. It was Akira with a slightly curly hair from the shower and wearing a stitch onesie. He caught me looking at him making him shy. "M-m-michael you can use the shower now" he stutters cutely...WAIT WHAT AM I EVEN SAYING??? Michael you are not gay, you like girls. You only find Akira adorable, right?

After the shower- still Michael's point of view

I just came out of the shower when Akira asked me if I wanted to watch a movie with him and I happily accepted. I suggested that we would watch a horror movie and Akira looked kind of unsure but still agreed. We decided to watch train to Busan which is one of my favorite horror movies. Half way through the movie I got startled by a scared Akira screaming while clinging onto me like his life depended on it. "Hey, Akira its ok it's just a movie, don't be scared" I say softly and wrap my arm around him to comfort him which makes him snuggle into my chest making me chuckle.

Akira's point of view

Why did I agree to watch this movie? Now Michael is going to think that I'm just a scaredy- cat. Ugh why am I like this?!? But I did get a chance to snuggle with him which he probably only thought as a way to comfort me and be a good friend. He would never think of me any different.
