Chapter Text
Tei held his belongings from his previous apartment, a fresh start… A fresh start!—He nervously gulped, taking a deep breath and looking at the giant apartment Hiroaki somehow… Rented… Bought? (I’m unsure, guys, don’t kill me.)
The wind gently blew his hair, as he internally dialogued like he was in an anime. Okay… Okay, new apartment. Fresh new start. With other people too! God, this was nerve wracking. What if he stuttered like crazy during his first impression—??
“Tei.”
17 brand new people he was meeting!
“Tei??”
What will they be like?
“Atsushi!”
A squeak escaped Tei as he tensed, instinctively blocking himself as he looked to the side—there, Shingo Hirose, stood like the tall ass he was.
“Oh—Hirose! Uhm, sorry, I was zoning out.” Tei blushed slightly out of embarrassment. Fucking wimp. Hirose sighed, fixing his red…glasses. “It’s fine. We should head inside,” which Tei nodded softly and timidly followed the surgeon.
“Sooo… These new people, what are they like?” Tei glanced up at the back of Hirose’s head.
Hirose glanced to the side in thought. “They’re… Well, cool, as Ninomiya would probably say. I’ve seen them a few times but never actually talked with them.”
“Hm.” Tei looked down at the floor in front of him. Cool? That’s… Vague. “Are they at least the same age as us or—me?”
“Yeah, they are.” The surgeon replied while opening a door. There, 17 others stood—or rather, chatted. Tei seemed to grow self conscious. A girl with thin circular glasses and black hair glanced to the two, seeming strict. “Ah, Shingo and who?”
“Uhm—Atsushi… Tei. Nice to meet you….” Tei trailed off, tilting his head subtly. “Hitomi Sasaki.“ The female seemed to be judging him, which he caught on and only felt more self conscious.
“Nice to meet you, Mister Tei!” A short female with blonde hair and blue eyes, with a student uniform(?) waved at Tei from a couch in the lobby, which he waved back.
“Just two of you? Where’s the others?” Another short, but this time, male, blue haired male spoke up. He glanced between Hirose and Tei, which Hirose checked the time. “We came a bit early, sorry about that.” — “Don’t worry about it! I’m sure we all don’t mind. Atsushi, right? You’re pretty cute!” A black female with a red cape spoke up. She was pretty. “Ah—oh, uhm, thank you?” Tei was flustered from the compliment. “No problem, I always speak the truth anyway.”—very pretty and confident… Noted.
“Anyway, I’ll show Atsushi his apartment if you don’t mind.” Hirose raised an eyebrow. “Go ahead! Have fuuuunnn~” The black female had a teasing tone. Tei wasn’t sure if she was suggesting something, but he ignored it. The two proceeded to walk to the elevator.
Here we go…
