Chapter Text
#1| Boredom
Kashitaro Ito, twenty—beep—years old, stared boringly at the clear blue sky. My, what a boring day, he thought lazily. He had nothing to do, no mission or whatever, and blah blah blah…
He needed something to escape from this boredom, like, ASAP.
Then that was the first time he saw that guy; Rib was his name. If he didn’t have that solemn look on his face, Kashitaro would have mistaken him as Soraru’s distant cousin. And more hand—
--wait. What did he just think about?
#2| Introduction
“My name is Kashitaro, nice to meet you.”
The dark-haired guy in light-colored cape nodded and shook his hands. Now that they were this close (cough, not that ‘close’, cough), Kashitaro could see Rib’s appearance clearer than before. Rib had a rather pale. His lips didn’t curl into a smile or frown; they just formed a straight closed line. Alluring in color too, they were…
Right before he could imagine something far from the reality, Yuuto coughed.
“I think the introduction is enough. Mind to escort Rib to his—um, your—room?”
…eh?
#3| Roommate
His—scratch that, their—bedroom was medium-sized. Like other rooms in this headquarter, its wall was white and had two beds on each side with a nightstand between. What made it different were two fluffy balls that meowed every time Kashitaro entered the room and currently doing the same thing on his bed.
Kashitaro cooed and walked faster toward his bed. Realizing that Rib hadn’t entered yet, he stopped midway and turned to face him. He smiled and extended his hand. “Come inside. It’s your room too now. Welcome, Rib.”
Rib, who was standing in front of the door, kept silent for a while before he took Kashitaro’s hand and came inside.
And then, he smiled.
