My Innocent Roommate

Got a Secret, Can You Keep It?

Have you ever had a weird dream before? Like a dream that was so bizarre that you questioned yourself whether it was really real or just a figment of your imagination...?

I have, and I honestly have no idea what it really means.
It was all such a blur to me, but I remembered a few bits and pieces of it...
One thing's for sure though: Juno, my new roommate, was in it and he was so different compared to the innocent young man whom I share an apartment with.
This Juno in my dream...he was a lot more mature and cunning and even sexy...this couldn't be the Juno I knew, right?
I clearly remember him wearing a suit, a suit of dark ebony, that matched the color of his dark locks and I remembered his eyes turning dark as they landed on me, a woman who was wearing a dress as white as a cloud, who's brown hair flowed like a sea of chocolate.
I remember feeling my heart race as adrenaline rush through my small veins, as I carefully watch the man stroll towards me, smirking.
This wasn't Juno, this couldn't be Juno...yes, he may look like Juno, but was he really the Juno I knew?
The one who is innocent and pure like an angel that has fallen from the heavens...
This Juno in my dream however...he was definitely no angel.
No, he was definitely something else...
And just as he was about stroke my bare leg with his slender fingers-

WHAT IS LOVE
BABY DON'T HURT ME
DON'T HURT ME
NO MORE

"H-Huh?! W-Wha?"

I jerk myself awake as I heard my ringtone blasting from the side of my bed, causing my ears to bleed from the loud booming voice of Haddaway.
I quickly answer my phone in a panic, gasping for air as I try to recover from my small heart attack.

"H-Hello?"

"Mackenzie? Are you okay?"

"Oh! Val! Hey, yeah yeah I'm okay...just almost died from a heart attack!"

"Oh okay, come open the door for me then."

...Wow, thanks for worrying so much about me, what a great friend you are...
Notice the sarcasm?
I groaned as I lazily slide out of bed and dress in a random k-pop group t-shirt and sweatpants and trudged across the hall to the front door and opened it, finding my good friend Val standing there with a big smile across her face.

"Hello Mackenzie~"

"Hi, bish...why'd you come all the way over here from Canada to wake me up from my beauty rest...?"

"Oh wow, what a great way to greet your best friend!"

Val sarcastically replied as she rolled her eyes but soon smiled back at me.
I then invite her inside, following her to the living room.
By the way, you readers must be wondering how me and Val met and how we became very close friends.
Let's just say that Black Butler bought us together...oh and Canadian bacon too.
Val plops down on the couch, which I gladly did the same.

"Did you watch the new movie of Teach Her?~"

I gasped, not believing what I just heard come out of my best friend's mouth.
Teach Her was a famous story in Wattpad and I was a big fan of it...correction, I AM a big fan of it.
There's just something so beautiful about the setting, the characters and the smut, oh my God...
The smut was beautiful too.

"No...they finally made a movie for it?!"

"Yeah! Dude, let's watch it!"

"OH HELL YEAH."

I jumped with excitement as I quickly went to the kitchen and whipped up a bowl of popcorn.
I then rush back to the couch, sitting right next to Val as she pulled up the movie from my Banana laptop.
That's right, Banana is definitely better than Apple~
A few minutes into the movie and me and Val were already drooling from the sight of the main character, Professor Park, who just entered the classroom, fiddling with his glasses.

"Damn...he's hot...even better in person than in the book..."

"Yeah...it's like he came out of the book..."

Just as we were about to get to the good part, I heard the front door unlock and then that soft, angelic voice I never expected to hear at that moment.

"Mackenzie? I'm home!"

"Eh?! Who's that?!"

Val questioned as she raised her eyebrow. I quickly shut my laptop and threw it out the balcony, sitting back down on the couch like nothing happened.
Don't worry, I have insurance on it.
Juno comes walking in, surprised to see me and my best friend in the living room, our faces red and our noses bleeding from the movie we just watched.
He was wearing his school uniform which consisted of a short-sleeved white shirt with a sleeveless tan colored knitted V-neck vest and a mixture of blue and white flannel pants, along with white tennis shoes.
He honestly looked so adorable in the uniform...
GAH! GET YOURSELF TOGETHER MACKENZIE! YOU'RE IN A TOUGH SITUATION HERE!
Juno shyly smiles as he stares at both me and Val.

"Hello Mackenzie. Umm, who's this?"

"O-Oh! Juno, this is my best friend Val! Val, this is my roommate Juno!"

Val stares at me, wide eyed.

"Are...are you serious-"

"Good! Glad you two have met! Val, can I talk to you for a minute in the bathroom alone please? Great thanks!"

I blurted out as I quickly drag Val to the bathroom, shutting the door behind us and locking it. Val stares at me with confusion.

"What's going on? You didn't tell me you had a boy roommate! Is he your boyfriend?~"

"N-No! But I've got bigger things to worry about! I need to get rid of all my...you know..."

I whispered in her ear, causing her to gasp.

"Oh...your happy time mangas..."

"If Juno finds out what I read in my spare time, he's probably going to be disgusted and uncomfortable! And I don't want that for him!"

"Oh come on Macchan, I'm sure he'll understand! Even boys have those kind of mangas too..."

"No no Val, you don't get it! He...he goes to church..."

"Oh...oh this is bad."

"Yeah this is very bad! I don't want to ruin the poor boy's innocence! So please Val, help me!"

"Mackenzie...since I can tell you're very desperate and liking this boy a lot...I will help you. Trust me, I am a smut ninja~"

"What the heck does that mean?"

"It means that I can hide the loot from anyone! I can hide it from friends, family and even the FBI! You can trust me on this!"

"Okay okay fine, I'll distract him..."

Just as I was about to leave, Val places a hand on my shoulder, pulling me back.
She then wiggles her finger, smiling.

"Ah ah ah, you're forgetting something~"

"Ugh...Claude Faustus is the hottest butler in the history of all animes...he is better than Sebastian Michaelis and always will be..."

Val giggles before pinching my cheek.

"Oh my god, thank you for agreeing with me!"

"Yeah yeah whatever now go hide the mangas!"

I hiss as I get out of the bathroom and made my way to Juno, who was now in the kitchen getting something to drink.
I hope that Val knows what she's doing...
