Chapter Text
Otoya Eita - a high school’s worst nightmare. He was the literal definition of a playboy. He was the kind to always need something new to stimulate his brain; someone that could constantly have his cogs moving.
So well, he was incredulously picky. He didn’t necessarily see a problem with having a type. But clearly the audience of broken hearts, tears and female rage begged to differ.
Otoya was just the kind of guy to go with the flow. When he wanted something, he’d get it. When he got bored of it, he’d leave. He was pretty simpleminded.
Well, his simpleminded-ness led to unpredictable popularity. In his second year, he’d become the most well known on campus. Getting invited to Otoya Eita’s next hangout was the next oscars.
Naturally, Otoya was slightly gassed. Having everything he wanted, could you really blame the guy? When he got bored, he’d do little tours around campus and count the amount of times someone approached him. Then did stupid shit like fuck that many bitches in a week.
Karasu Tabito was the sad opposite. At his school, he was quiet. Not lonely - just well, preferred staying with his set group of people.
He wasn’t exactly the kindest man either. He had a habit of staring people down until he could decipher their worst fears or their embarrassing weakness and degrade the fuck out of them.
It was all to hide his own mediocrity. And well, maybe he did enjoy the whole mysterious thing he had going on.
In the end, it never really worked out for him. Because he got kicked out of school for bullying a kid and sent to another school. A boarding school. Where he knew completely nobody and a shrimp assed twink ran the school.
Otoya Eita was his worst nightmare. A freak. That’s what he was. Karasu had the habit of reading people for years. He’d been people watching since he left the womb. But Otoya was someone he could never read.
Karasu rolled his suitcase down the empty halls of the dormitory building. “301a.. 301a..” He muttered to himself until he stood in front of his door.
It was still technically school hours so no one was around. He opened the door, silence. As expected. He would have to wait until the evening to meet his unfortunate dorm mate.
He opened the door to the shared bedroom. It was plain, thank god. He was used to seeing weird k-pop and shoujo type anime posters all over the walls at home. But fuck, it was horribly messy. Whoever his dorm mate was .. they were messy.
Karasu walked over to his side of the room, putting his stuff away, stretching a little and heading out. He didn’t have to attend classes in the morning, the principal gave his a tour of the campus. Then he was given 2 hours to unpack. And then he’d have to take the last 2 classes just to settle in.
He checked his schedule, chemistry. A small smile creeped onto his face. Chemistry was a strong subject for him. He did in fact enjoy it greatly.
He navigated his way to the classroom and awkwardly knocked on the door. A middle aged man escorted him inside, introduced him and helped him find a seat.
Karasu wasn’t exactly an introvert but fuck. With that many eyes on you you’d think you’re Sabrina Carpenter or some shit. He sat down in his seat, far in the back.
“Yo,” A voice from beside him. Karasu turned to face the guy. Now, he didn’t know what to expect. But fucking hell, Otoya Eita was not someone he expected to see. “You look helpful, glad to have you here partner. Make your handwriting nice and legible for me to read.”
If Karasu didn’t have common courtesy, his jaw would be sweeping the floor spotless. “..Yer implying that yer gonna.. copy .. me?” He uttered, half speechless.
“Yup. You seem nerdy. You good at chem, big boy?” Otoya leaned back casually, patting his arm and maintaining uncomfortable eye contact with that same unreadable expression.
“I’d like ta think so..?” Karasu slapped Otoya’s hand off. The interaction was weird as shit to him, he couldn’t really wrap his finger around Otoya’s personality. “And yer not copyin’ me.”
“It’s not really a choice. You’re some kansai nobody and I’m Otoya Eita.” He shrugged. Then looked away, breaking eye contact. Karasu was just weirded out. He stared at Otoya despite the unreciprocated response.
“I’m a kansai nobody and yer a fuckin’ twink.” Karasu’s mouth creeped into a smirk. “Match made in heaven huh.”
Dead silence. Otoya just stared at him. “Oi, sir. Give me a new partner, this one’s freaky.” Otoya called out and the teacher just sighed in disappointment. Seems like this was a regular occurrence..
“Otoya.. not now..” He rubbed his temple and Otoya just looked offended, slouching back in his chair. Karasu snickered, served him right.
The lesson ended swiftly. Karasu made his way out, he had one more class. Math. But as he looked left and right to find out where his classroom was, he felt a hand kn his shoulder.
“Yo.” Otoya stared up at him again. Karasu turned and faced him. Fuck, what did this freak want with him. “Got a minor inquiry for you , my friend.”
Karasu raised a brow, staring him down. Otoya opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by getting jumped on by a freak with grey hair. “Eitaaaa, wassguuuudd” The weirdo grinned, his sharp fangs prominent in his toothy smile.
Otoya turned to face him, casually shaking him off, “Aiki, Himizu, babygirl, im like in the middle of something.” Otoya put a hand on his shoulder and ‘Himizu’ nodded firmly, turning to face Karasu.
His eyes raked Karasu’s body up and down. Made him feel slightly violated. “Eita who’s this?” He whispered comically loud.
Otoya turned to Karasu once again, “Google’s replacement, he’s gonna help me ace my chem test, aren’t you?” He patted held Karasu’s bicep.
“Oh piss off man. Yer full of shit.” Karasu pushed Otoya’s hand off. That just resulted in Otoya’s dramatic reaction, “Ouch, way to flatter a guy..”
“Fuck off man, what do ya want.” Karasu grit his teeth and Himizu laughed excitedly , “Eitaaa he’s getting annoyed he’s getting annoyed!”
Suddenly a firm hand slapped Himizu in the back of the head. “Himizu, behave yourself. Eita, stop picking on new people. This is why Katherine broke up with you.”
Otoya turned to face the mystery man, clearly offended. “No, it was cause she said she needed to go back to Russia! Shes a model y’know!”
“Whateeverr helps you sleep at night my love” The mystery man just pat his head and Otoya slapped it away, leaving and dragging Himizu along with him.
“What’s your name? I’m Yukimiya Kenyuu.” He smiled, adjusting his glasses. Yukimiya Kenyuu was a freaking saint. “Karasu Tabito. Pleasure to meet ya.”
“Pleasure’s all mine. I apologize for my um.. rather shitty friends.” Yukimiya rubbed his nape. Karasu just laughed it off. How the hell’d a down to earth guy like Yukimiya get stuck with fuckass hoes like the other two..
“It’s fine. It’s not like they’re affecting me” He shrugged. Yukimiya just smiled and nodded. “If you ever need a favour, come to me.”
“Well err, if ya don’t mind. I kinda need ta find the math classroom. Im hella late.” Karasu asked modestly and Yukimiya kindly brought him there. What a gentleman. “I’ll catch ya around then?”
“Hope so, see you.” Yukimiya waved him off then left for his own respective class. Math was calmer, his seat mate minded her own business and his teacher was calm. He didn’t particularly hate math, just,, he didn’t enjoy it either.
Final bell rung and Karasu stood up, making his way out the main building and towards the dormitory buildings. His first two classes at this high school seemed fine. Apart from .. some students..
He sighed, mentally praising himself for getting through the day without crashing out. He opened the door of his dorm room 301a to no one. He closed the door behind him. He was half expecting his dormmate. But if they weren’t here now then…His thoughts were cut short when he heard a voice coming from the bedroom.
“Hey Katherine, I know you’re mad that I called, but is it true you lied about the whole model Russia thing?”
No fucking way.
“Are you even a model?”
Karasu froze up, surely not..
“Are you even Russian?”
He made his way over to the door, just to be sure he wasn’t mistaken.
“Oh well, fuck you Katherine. Your sister was hotter than you.”
Otoya Eita was his dormmate..???
