Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aaron said his goodbyes and followed his roommate out the door. As they were walking down the hall, Aaron thought of all the excuses he'd used all the other times this had happened. All of them were total lies, but he found it was better to lie than to get his stepfather involved in anything in or relating to his life. "My stepfather's name is Aaron", "I had a friend named Aaron in school, and his name just sounds so much like mine", and "Aaron's my boyfriend" were some of his more popular excuses. But it was best to stay away from the 'boyfriend' issue around a school that didn't take too well to romance of any kind, and he'd told Mizuki he was homeschooled, so he couldn't use the 'school' excuse... but he could always blame it on his stepfather.

"Mizuki-chan? My... my stepfather's name is Aaron, so..." Aaron noted, trying his very best to sound truthful and innocent. "I guess that's where it came from." He smiled a little at her, to strengthen the facade.

Aaron stayed up until his roommate's breathing became slow and regular. Finally noting that Mizuki was asleep, Aaron slowly began to undress. First his shirt came off and was neatly folded, and then the bra with the silicone padding inside. The skirt slowly slid down his legs to pile up at his feet, which he picked up and folded as well, putting it in his own dresser. From that angle, his whole body could be seen - his fairly decent abs, the chest muscles he'd been developing, and his strong but slender legs. But as beautiful as his body was, he was still self-concious about it. Quickly he took out a nightgown and put it on, sighing a little in relief when he finally got it on. Once he'd tied his hair up, he crawled into his bed, groaning a little as his spine slowly adjusted to the new mattress. When that was done, the crossdresser closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Juna, now frustrated, offended, and fatigued, threw the door to her new dorm open. Her blonde hair was tangled and in her face, and her eyes were shining dangerously. The usual cool, composed, and utterly professional woman was gone.

Damn them! she thought angrily, throwing her suitcase on her bed. After all the careful unpacking, the organization of her life, and the bonding time with her roommate, they decided to tell her they had made a mistake. A mistake! She didn't care that it was night-time, or that she could possibly be disturbing another person in her room. She had been enjoying herself for once!

After a few seconds of this anger, though, she stopped, taking a deep breath from her nose. In, out. In, out. There. A giant sigh slipped through her lips, and she went back to unpacking as carefully as she had the first time. After finishing and making sure everything was put away quietly, she decided to examine the thrown-aside covers that she guessed her roommate would be under. Carefully touching them, she whispered, "I'm sorry, did I wake you?" But found no one under them.

Juna blinked. Didn't they have a curfew to follow or something? Making her roommate's bed (and nearly screaming at the sight of the giant, squished corpse that came tumbling out from the sheets), she re-plugged in nearby lamp and closed a closet that happened to be open. Changing into her pajamas quietly, she slipped under the spartan covers of her bed, staring at the empty space her roommate should've been residing in.

A tic in her eye informed her that maybe, tabooishly, she was lonely. She sighed and turned over. Now she would never get to sleep.

((That's okay. Thanks for posting though!! biggrin ))

"Tomorrow?" She thought a bit. "Hmm. I dunno. I bet it'll be good though. There'll be a few more new people like yourself too. I'll have to meet them too. Hey, I never even asked if we had any of the same classes. Oh well. I can't even remember my schedule at the moment." She paused, realising she was rambling in her tiredness.

"I wonder if your Alex has any good looking friends. That'd be cool. I need to meet someone new. Anyways, g'night. Don't let the bed bugs bite." She turned out her lamp, and flipped over onto her side.
