Ash and Eiji are room mates in their 3rd year at university. Ash is struggling with balancing a harrowing home-life and keeping up appearances at school and work at Chang Dai with Shorter. He is a mess, rightfully so. Eiji is adjusting as a foreign exchange student between school, his room mate, and his art. Slow burn between Ash and Eiji. Ash is anxious and soft and Eiji and strong and supportive of Ash during his hard times. This is the first fic I've written. Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes. English isn't my first language. Please comment any advice for me! Good or bad! Japanese is written in <>
