Chapter Text
Nicholas groaned at the time, 4:30AM. He's been working like a dog for the past 3 hours on this assignment/presentation for his fucking architecture professor.
"Like hell I'm gonna finish this in time.." he mumbled as he glued more cardboard to his model.
His despare was interrupted by a knocking on his door. Nicholas turned around and opened the door to a rather dead-looking Fuma.
"Hey,man.." he mumbled.
"Damn,you look beat."
Fuma only nodded in response and stepped into their shared room, flopping on the bed with a tired moan.
Nicholas trudged back to his study table and resumed his work on the model due in two days.

Classes resumed the next day. As Nicholas was leaving the study hall, his professor called him in his room.
Nicholas knocked tentatively on the door,creaking it open,
"Sir,you called?" Nicholas asked as he came in.
"Yes, Nicholas please sit down." he gestured to a chair across from him.
"What is it that you wanted to talk with me?"
Professor Soobin sat down along with him and folded his hands on the table,"Nicholas,I want to assign you to a few duties - I assure you your credit will get a .5 boost if you can do this properly."
Nicholas sat still aand thought for a bit. An assignment? what kind?
As if his professor had predicted his mind he said in an impassive voice," I am giving you the responsibility of being in charge of library management."
"W-what?" The student stuttered, "Sir,this has absolutely nothing to do with my major-why give it to me?"
The elder held up a hand,"I know,I know but i must tell you, I have noticed your- fascination - for an organized look. Even hearing from your roommate-Fuma- he said your a lot more organized than you look."
Nicholas was puzzled. It didnt sit right with him.
"Sir,I'm confused.."
Soobin nodded slowly,"I know, but your made for the job. Ill talk with your faculty so,would you please accept this?"
The younger sat and thought for a while,
"I think..I'll do it,"

A few days later, he stopped outside the library,feeling uneasy,
"Lets do this,i guess...?"
