Welcome to Gaia! ::

Natsuki used up all his strength to drag his heavy luggage full of random useless things up the stairs. Finally, reaching the last step, he let out a heavy and blissful sigh, "Seriously, why did I bring so much stuff with me? I am FAIRLY sure my gigantic crab-shaped pillow wasn't necessary, a normal and small pillow would've sufficed. . .", he thought. After recovering his breath, his hand reached inside his pocket and took out a piece of paper with his room number on it that the principal gave him. He looked from the paper to the doors on either side of the walls as he strolled down the hallway, trying to find the matching numbers. "Ah! Found it!", his head filled with excitement and he took the keys out of his other pocket.

After figuring out how to work this unfamiliar door, he slowly pushed it open and his face lightened with admiration as he examined the room with his mouth open. What caught his eyes was a big window , parallel to the entrance door. Forgetting his luggage at the entrance, he ran towards it, shoved aside the chairs that were blocking his way and poked his head outside "Uwahhh, what a nice view!! You can see the entire horizon!!", after half a second of happiness, his face turned into an ugly frown. ". . .Why is there so much trash on the ground. . .Don't these students know how important mother nature is?!", unhappy with the sight, he closed the curtain.

He walked back to his luggage and dragged it to the right room. He unzipped it and he began to throw all his stuff on the bed with the thought of tidying it later in mind.

Just when Natsuki was in the middle of unpacking, he heard a voice outside his room."A-Ah! Hold on one second!" He quickly put away his embarrassing crab-pillow along with his other crab related collections. He stood up, almost slipped thanks to the nice, polished wooden floor. "Woah! Hi there, how may I help you?", he smiled as he tries very hard to keep himself up by holding on to the door frame.

Natsuki noticed that laugh that was held back by the shorter one. "Oh crap, so he's my roommate. . .I can die of embarrassment now. . .why. . .of all times must I show my clumsiness." Natsuki thought with his inner self doing a face-palm. He quickly re-adjusted himself to prepare his introduction but he couldn't think of anything thanks to his mini heart-attack he had just a moment ago. "Umm, h-hello! My name is Natsuki Kanine and umm, well, I hope we can be good friends from now on!" he stuttered, following with a overdramatic bow. "W-why am I even bowing to a junior, he's obviously younger than me, shouldn't he be the one being polite and all?" he thought with a bitter smile on his face which Sai couldn't possibly see.

Natsuki froze at his question. "Oh noooooo!. . .Did he see? Maybe he did saw. . .He must've seen it or else he wouldn't even be able to come up with such question!" His head was having a conversation with itself and he began to panic. "W-why do you ask? A ha ha ha ha. . ." he replied, trying to act ignorant while scratching the back of his head. He was desperately trying to just take a step back and close the door of him room, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the shortie considering how they'll be living together for a whole year. He was getting nervous and hoped his kouhai wouldn't ask any further about his weird hobbies.

Natsuki almost dramatically swooned until he finally hit a wall. "Uwahhhhhh!! I totally just gave myself away! Why didn't I think about this earlier! My last name literally means crab sound. . ." Depressed, he stepped back into his room without noticing his new roommate glancing at him for one last time.
"Why do I fail so much. . .and here I thought I could start fresh at this new school and finally be categorized as the 'cool and charming' guy that everyone likes. . .it's now all ruined. . .", he sobbed quietly as he continues tidying his unpacked mess, forgetting to close the door behind him.

Natsuki freaked, he thought the other would leave him alone. "EEP! Why is he just standing there looking at me! Is he TRYING to embarrass me further?" He thought with bitterness, trying to secretly wipe his tears away. "W-Who's crying! I'm not c-crying! Hahaha, what're you talking about! It's just, umm, my contact lenses! Yes, my contact lenses got dry! Ahahaha. . ."

"I-I'm not sca---" Sai left before Natsuki could even finish his sentence. "Oh no, I seriously just pissed him off with my stupid pride. . ." his face cringed at the mere thought of being treated like a sore loser once again like he did his old school. Still depressed, if not, worse than before, he went to his bed and started to hug his crab-shaped pillow.

After 15 minutes of depression, Natsuki got back up from his bed and went to silently shut his door. He changed into his crab patterned PJs and slipped under his matching blanket. "I hope he's not mad at me tomorrow anymore. . .", he hoped, and soon after, he drifted into a deep slumber.
