Sven walked down the dorm hall with his laundry basket on his hip, his bedding on his shoulder, and his suitcase rolling behind him. He had a scowl etched onto his face, and his eyes were dark and threatening. On lower right jaw, there was a rather ugly bruise, and a small trickle of blood made its way over the piercing and down his chin on the same side. Other students backed out of his way as he pressed on down the narrow corridors towards the room on the corner overlooking the academy grounds.

When he finally got there, it took him a minute to get the keys out of his pocket. Apparently, it was a minute too long because he ended up jamming the key into the lock so hard that he dented it.

"Fuck."

With a deep breath and closing his eyes, Sven tried his best to focus. He thought about the metal of the key melting and reshaping to fit the lock. After opening his eyes again, he turned the key, and the lock popped.

He didn't waste any more time in getting into the room. He wasted even less dumping all of his things on the empty bed just inside the door. He'd unpack his shit in a minute. First, he was going to take a piss.

Just at this moment, Myrran was returning from a weekend at home with his parents. He had spent those short days cramming for the college exams his mother insisted he take, practicing fencing with his father (who was better than he could ever hope to be) and playing with his baby sister Alelah. All in all, a normal weekend. While on his way back to his dorm, he had received a notice that he had a new roommate.

The teen was actually sort of excited to meet this person. His door came into sight, making the boy grin. It was open so his new roomie must have already entered~! With a grand gesture, Myrran threw the door wide open. "Hello, new roommate~! My name is Myrran Najmah and I....."

Upon seeing Sven, the dark student froze. He stood like that for some time until finally....."What did you do to my new roommate?"

Upon seeing Myrran's grand entrance, Sven was dumbfounded. No one had told him who he'd be moving in with, but he didn't expect it to be the fucking White Knight. Although they had only ever spoken in passing, he knew what to expect. None it was good, either.

"I ate him," Sven replied as deadpan as possible. "Had to smother him with the pillow first, but I'll say this much, he had one hell of a punch. Tasted pretty good, too. Sorry I didn't save you a piece. You probably would've appreciated it."

He knew the joke had already worn out its welcome, but he didn't care. If he had to share a room with this prick, at least he could make his skin crawl. Other than that, Sven was ready to unpack and get ready for work.

Myrran frowned flatly, unamused by Sven's sarcasm. Still, he had to be the better man here. "Right then. Well if we're going to be roommates, we might at least try not to kill one another. Here's how this is going to work. I will do my best to keep my side of the room neat and I will not touch any of your belongings. Can I expect you to do the same?"

All in all, it wasn't a total disaster. The boy had every intention of keeping to his end of the bargain just to keep the peace. He could learn to tolerate Sven. No one said roommates had to be friends after all. And he spent his weekends at home anyway, so it wouldn't be like they'd be spending that much time together. He'd just have to find more time to spend in the library or bothering Isaac.

"Sounds good to me," Sven replied. "It's not like I'd want anything of yours anyway." He was on probation for assault, not thievery. "Just keep your lady friends out of here, all right? I don't want to walk in on something I'm not invited to."

He dug into his laundry basket and pulled his styling products from the bottom. Perhaps needless to say, but it looked as if he'd be taking up more of his fair share of the bathroom counter space. He had mousse, gel, dye, brushes, and combs, and that was only what could fit in his arms.

"Do you have any peroxide around here?"

Myrran rolled his yellow-green eyes. "The only 'lady-friend' that has ever come near here is Emily Pennington and she's..." The teen forced back a shudder. "Well, she's Emily Pennington. Besides, unlike you, I enjoy the company of women on their own merits, rather than any wish to spend the night with them. I have far too much respect for the fairer sex for that."

He dropped his bag on his bed, then opened to pull out his laptop, which was a gift from his father. First off the factory line for a series that wasn't due to hit shelves for another six months. "Peroxide?" He repeated, a bit confused. "I think there's some in the bathroom under the counter. Why?" The boy blinked at all the hair supplies. "Is that all really necessary?"

"Just need to make sure my piercings don't get infected," Sven explained with a shrug. "These snakebites are the worst especially when people sucker punch me."

He decided to ignore the comment about his things. It took a lot of work to get his hair to work the way he wanted it to, and he wasn't about to share any of the secrets to his good looks. To him, Myrran badly needed them, but he didn't believe in charity.

"What kind of kinky shit is this Emily into?" Sven continued. His voice echoed off the bathroom walls, but it got even worse as he bent down to get at the opaque brown bottle. "I mean, I've met her a couple times, but I don't get why everyone's so up tight about her."

Myrran blinked again when Sven asked about Emily. "You mean...you don't know? I mean, one would think you'd have heard something just by being in the halls..." He sighed. "And though I'm not usually one for gossip, I might as well warn you for your own sake. Emily Pennington is, to put it mildly, odd." He began to set up his laptop on his desk, then moved to pull a pair of reading glasses from his bag. Without them, the back lighting from the computer tended to give him headaches.

"For one thing, she stalks Noah Wilder, the poor man. For another...there's just something...unsettling about being around her. And also...there's her relationship with Giovanni Del Arcobaleno, aka Wiseman Sigma. It's just a bit...creepy." He sat down at the chair in front of his desk, then leaned back, his arms folded. "I think her only real friend is Isaac but she keeps him at a distance too. Which is a shame seeing how everyone can tell he's head over heels for her."

Myrran shook his head. "Then there was the stuff I heard as a kid. We both come from wealthy families, though hers is more of the old money type. In any case, people used to talk about brain surgery gone wrong, secret experiments, stuff like that. They said she was kept locked up in her own set of rooms, never allowed out until she came to SIN." He shrugged. "In any case, I pity her a little bit. But that's why everyone seems to avoid her. I suggest you do the same."

Sven walked out of the bathroom just in time to see Myrran slip on his reading glasses. He raised an eyebrow, but he was too interested in hearing Emily's story to make a comment on it. He'd have time for that later.

As Myrran continued to spill the gossip, Sven unpacked the rest of his things. Most of his clothes were black or white, and every single one of them had pins, studs, or extra zippers and sometimes all three. He hung his shirts with extra care to use the plastic straps to keep the shoulders from stretching out, and even the pants had special hangers of their own. The only thing that went into the dresser by his bed was his boxers, socks, and box of condoms.

"So you're telling me she's a stalker who's dating a pedophile as well as having her own stalker, and to top it all off, she's may or may not be completely off her rocker?

"Sounds like the kind of girl I'd want to take to lunch."

Myrran shot Sven a look. "Isaac is not a stalker. But go ahead and ask her if you want. She'll probably just shoot you down. She's got very specific standards." He turned back to his laptop, ignoring Sven's clothing. It was none of his business if his new roommate made a fool of himself with his wardrobe.

Myrran's own clothes were neatly tucked away in his dresser, along with one suit in the closet and several hoodies for when he went out with friends. "Though it doesn't surprise me that you're the type to go looking for trouble."

"I didn't say I wanted to date her," Sven huffed. "Hell, I don't even want to sleep with her. I just want to see how she ticks."

When Myrran mentioned looking for trouble, Sven openly laughed.

"You're right about that." Was it really his fault that getting in trouble was just so much more interesting than being a saint? "I can't say I really buy your whole 'mommy's little angel' gig you've got going on."

As he said this, he was busy putting up his Hooters poster, one that had more ass than tits in the shot. She was also a brunette, his own personal preference.

Myrran blushed slightly and looked away from the poster. "It's not an act. Unlike you, I have responsibilities. My family depends on me to always make a good impression in public, otherwise our reputation could be tarnished." He frowned to himself, a bit of resentment bubbling to the surface. "I envy you a bit. You don't have to worry about anything. Your life is so carefree. It must be nice, not having to care what others think."

He heard the bitter edge of his tone and coughed, putting his calm, cool facade back up. "Unfortunately not all of us were born with that luxury. Ah well, such is life." He couldn't afford to show weakness so early. Not to his guy. "What about you? You're not an idiot despite...how you appear. You could be one of the best students in school. Why put so much energy into making a nuisance of yourself?"

Hmm, so this guy also had a chip on his shoulder? Sven certainly hadn't expected that. It was still hard for him to sympathize with some rich boy, though. Myrran probably had never worked a day in his life.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but brains don't get a person very far around here." If anything, they made people a target. "As for the rest of it," his voice lowered, "let's just say it helps me cope with... stress."

Myrran suppressed a dry laugh at that. What did he know about stress? At least he wasn't expected to be perfect all the time. He chose not to say any of this out loud, though. Instead, he kept his eyes on his laptop as he started on the homework from one of his online college classes. Still, he couldn't help but be a bit curious...

"Really? There have to be better ways of coping with stress than starting fights. Why not take up boxing? Or football?" He glanced over at Sven, an eyebrow raised.

"I used to be on a swim team," Sven explained. "Then they kicked me off 'cause I tried to drown this one kid. The fucker was cheating by using his powers! What was I supposed to do? Let him win because mine hadn't shown up yet?"

Myrran did have a good point, of course. Sven probably could've found something more to his liking eventually, something that fit into his weight training. The suggestion of boxing in particular was interesting.

"Besides, I've got two jobs," he continued. "It's not like I'd have much time between 'em, and my mom isn't going to shell out for anything." He mumbled the last part, "Not after what happened anyway."
