Chapter Text
-`ღ´-
Blue Lock Academy—a prestigious, all boy, Japanese high school where talent was at every corner. From artists to athletes; they had it all. Every student was unique in their own way.
-`ღ´-
Rin gently opens the door (sayori ref!… jk im larping ddlc but the songs SLAP. okay sorry i’ll stop this now). Inside, he sees his supposed roommates. He first spots his roommate on the bottom bunk. Messy white hair, gray eyes glued to his phone, and an aura that just screamed lazy. He’s lying on his stomach, legs kicking back and forth behind him like a child.
His other roommate is sitting at a desk tucked in a corner. Curly brown hair, orange eyes, and circular glasses. He was objectively pretty—probably a model or something. He stops his conversation he was having with the other to stare at Rin.
”Oh—hey!” he says with a warm smile, pausing his conversation from earlier (though it looked more like a one-sided ranting session).
“I’m Yukimiya Kenyu, you can just call me Yuki if you want. That’s Nagi Seishiro over there.” Nagi waves lazily, eyes not leaving his phone screen.
“You must be our new freshman roommate, right? That’s your bed there.”
Rin nods and looks at his bed. It was a single, while the other two shared a bunkbed. He preferred his own bed anyways. “Rin,” he mumbles.
“Not the talking type? That’s fine. If you need help getting settled just let me know. I won’t mind helping.”
Rin shakes his head. ”I won’t need your help.”
Yukimiya nods back, leaving him alone. As Rin is opening his suitcase, Nagi finally looks up.
“You look really familiar."
Rin’s blood goes cold. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he says harshly.
”Hm. Okay.” Nagi replies, not pushing any farther.
Rin clutches a t-shirt so hard his knuckles go white.
See, Rin hates how similar he and Sae look. He always gets comments about his similarities to Sae. Whether it’s “Oh your lashes are both so long!” or “You’re both so skilled at soccer!”
It was like he could never escape his shitty older brother, no matter how hard he tried to bury him under. Every time he tried to make him disappear, he would find a way to make Rin remember the dark, snowy night.
It was like Rin was in an ocean, being pulled down no matter how much he writhed and struggled. It was so, so suffocating.
Sae clung to him—even in the shadows, even with their non-existent contact. He always found his way back to haunt Rin.

Julian watches as Vivian Hugo continues to unpack his bags. He was sitting on Hugo’s new bed, legs criss-crossed, and arms behind him, supporting him. Hugo’s hands worked meticulously, folding his clothes carefully into drawers. He hums quietly, working at his own careful pace.
Hugo’s roommate, Bunny, had already gotten settled, and was god knows where—probably bothering Sae or something. His side of the room was simple—bedsheets slightly ruffled, clothes neatly tucked away, and desk organized neatly—besides the big black poster with his signature bunny icon. Julian was always a bit curious about his merch but never bothered to ask. He didn’t see the point in it.
Julian zones out for a second, mind wandering, before he’s interrupted by a text message. He raises an eyebrow as he opens the group chat.
Huh.

With an amused huff, Julian puts his phone down.
“Almost done, Vivian?” he asks, tilting his head, observing his careful movements.
Hugo didn’t look up. Instead, he kept his eyes focused on the clothes—it wasn’t like he packed a lot, he just liked to take his time.
”Yes, Julian. What are we doing after this?” Hugo replies, finally looking up to face him.
Julian pauses for a moment, then smiles amusedly. “We need to check on Charles. I left him alone with Alexis, but I’m not sure how that’s going. I doubt it’s organized over there—unless Alexis straightened him up somehow.”
Hugo nods, the corner of his mouth twitching. “I doubt it.”
Charles was always doing something mischievous, whether it was pulling a prank or just not listening. He was naturally playful. That was just the way he is. Nothing could really be done.
He turns back to fold his last shirt and put it in the drawer. He takes out his final item, a small picture of him, Julian, and Charles. It was in a shiny, plastic golden frame. The photo was taken when they first met Charles, running around excitedly at the park. He smiles as he reminisces. Good memories.
Afterwards he stands up to put his suitcase in his closet, closing the doors gently.
“I’m ready,” he says, turning around to look at the other.
“Let’s go then.” Julian stands up, grabbing his phone, and heading towards the door. As expected, Hugo follows—like a devoted dog.
-`ღ´-
“Can you please, for god’s sake, fold your clothes?!” Alexis yells, irritation quickly rising. In front of him stands Charles, folding his arms, eyes closed, head to the side, clearly not paying attention. He makes a little “hmph” sound, his little fang sticking out.
Alexis really wants to rip his own hair out and strangle the boy.
It has only been about 10 minutes since Julian left to go “help” Vivian (Alexis doubted that he needed Julian’s help but he digresses), and Charles still has most of his clothes in his suitcase, unpacked. He was running out of ideas. He had already tried both begging and demanding, but neither worked.
At this point, Alexis is about to resort to calling Sae over to knock some sense into Charles. Sae has a little brother, surely dealing with Charles wasn't any different, right?
Or, he could use Julian to threaten him. Charles liked sweets, and Loki was always ordering him around. It was worth a shot. He’ll try the latter first, it was easier than bothering Sae anyways.
Alexis huffs, looking down at the freshman, ready to strangle him. “Charles. If you don’t start unpacking now, I’m gonna tell Loki and he’s gonna punish you with—I don’t know, no macarons or something.”
That got a reaction from Charles. His eyes immediately opened, head snapping—so fast that it could give him whiplash—to face the other.
“What!” he yells, a thick french accent clear in his voice. “You can’t do that! Alexis, wait!”
Alexis smirks triumphantly, finally cracking the code. Now he was practically rubbing salt into the exposed wound. “Yeah. I’ll tell Loki, and he’ll make sure you never taste macarons again.”
Charles screams as he runs to his suitcase, scrambling to unpack his things. Alexis grins and sits on his bed with a relaxed sigh. He watches as Charles works quickly to take his things out, most clothes going unfolded and crumpled into his drawers—Oh no, that won’t do.
”Charles,” Alexis orders, “Fold your clothes.”
”Yes sir!” He snatches his crumpled clothes back and folds them messily. Alexis had to give him credit, it was better than nothing.
Alexis leans back, arms supporting him from behind.
“Huh.” Loki walks in, observing the room. “I’m surprised you got him to unpack.”
”Lokii!!” Charles whines, running up to hug him. Loki was barely in the room, halfway through the doorframe, and Hugo was still standing outside.
“Don’t take away my macarons! I’m unpacking and folding my clothes, I swear!” He shouts, voice muffling into his shirt.
Both Hugo and Loki look at each other with mild confusion. Alexis just smiles evilly.
“What?” Loki asks, tilting his head.
Hugo makes a little “ah” of understanding. “It seems Alexis has threatened that you’ll take his macarons away if he doesn't unpack.”
“That’s right! You’re really good at understanding situations, Vivian.” Alexis giggles from further in the room.
“Oh, I see. That’s good,” Loki says. He gently pushes Charles back. “Go finish unpacking then, Charles.”
”Okay..”
Loki and Hugo walk into the room and sit onto Loki’s bed.
”Good tactic,” Hugo praises. “Very smart using Loki and sweets as a threat.”
“Thank you! I’m honestly surprised it worked. I really doubted myself.” Alexis turns his head, facing them. “If that didn’t work, I was gonna call Sae to knock some sense into him since he has a younger brother.”
Loki chuckles, hand coming up to cover his mouth politely. “That would be fun to see.”
Charles shudders. ”That would be even worse! Sae is soooo scary!” He whines.
“Good thing you listened to Alexis when he mentioned macarons.” Hugo adds. Charles just sighs and focuses on his suitcase.
“Can I have my macarons after this? I’m almost done anyways.” Charles asks, looking up. He’s practically salivating at the thought of the dessert.
“Sure. Just don’t eat them all,” Loki replies, scrolling on his phone, legs crossed, while Hugo and Ness chat about something.
Charles sequels in excitement, hands moving at the speed of light.
(He did in fact get his macarons.)
