My Roommate Oga Tatsumi

Chapter 12

Buzz.

Buzz.

Buzz, buzz.

Furuichi blearily opened his eyes at the sounds of annoying bees that must have been flying past his ears.

Buzz. Buzz, buuuzzz!

Furuichi thought better than to simply throw a pillow over his ears to get rid of the noise. If that was the door, then the silvernette knew Oga would never get up to answer it. The brute was beyond deaf when deep asleep. The snapshots of yesterday flooded in his mind and Furuichi had to sit up to allow the wave of nausea to settle.

Buzz!

"Alright already! Tch." Furuichi clambered out of bed to wrench open the door, "Yes?"

"Oh! My apologies, good sir. I was under the impressions that Oga Tatsumi lived here. My mistake."

Furuichi couldn't comprehend the sight of the man in front of him. Exceptionally large wearing nothing but an A-shirt and shorts in November, wearing huge fake eyelashes and a haircut from a previously lost era. Furuichi snapped out of his stupor long enough to croak "wait."

"I'm his roommate."

"Oh, splendid! How embarrassing it otherwise would've been. Anyway, I brought Be'el's things..."

"'Be'el's things'?"

Furuichi dared to poke his head outside the door to see enough baby things to fill up a department store. No way in hell was all this going to fit in the apartment!

He watched in awe as the oversized man gathered almost everything in the wide wingspan of his arms. Furuichi had moved away just in time so as not to be assaulted with everything to do with babies.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Oh, dear me," the large man turned to Furuichi not even the slightest bit breathless. "I haven't introduced myself. My name is Alaindelon. And who might you be?"

Furuichi stared at the hand outstretched toward him. Even if it was friendly, the silvernette didn't want his hand crushed. Well, it's better to take it than not. The sensible voice in his head argued.

"Furuichi Takayuki."

"Ah, look, the man of the hour!"

"Good to see you too, Alaindelon." Oga yawned while Alaindelon oohed and ahhed over the green-haired baby.

"Oga, what's going on?"

Oga looked at the gigantic pile of diapers, baby formula, toys and baby clothes. Rubbing a hand on the back of his head, Oga shrugged and let his arm fall to slap loudly against his thigh.

"Hey Furuichi," Oga forced himself to meet confused grey eyes, "Want to have a baby?"

...

"What? And before finals?"

Furuichi was beside himself, never mind that Baby Be'el clearly enjoyed the scene. Furuichi looked as though he was ready to summon every ounce of strength from his ancestors if it gave him a better chance to strangle the brunet.

"It's only for a little while. I mean how hard can it be?"

"It's hard. Very hard."
