He wore a long sleeve-like garment that nearly touched the floor when he walked and was stunning. His hair too, nearly reached the carpet of the rug he was standing on if it weren’t for the hairpieces in his head tying his hair up all the way. His body was much paler than the average person’s, leading him to believe that was very much not a human but a vampire. He couldn’t his fangs thanks to the sleeves over his mouth, but he had a feeling. “Ahem.” Someone coughed. ——————————————————————— Turning, he craned his neck again and saw a second man with grey-like hair and a blue streak at the top. That man was huge for a vampire but this one was much larger. He could see fangs and a tail. “Uhm, sorry.” He said while moving out of the way. Vampires do not have tails was his first instinct but he could not think of any other species. To be fair, humans do not often see other people since they do not leave the village. The man had striking red eyes and carried an air of confidence. ——————————————————————— His first impression was bad with not only one roommate, but the third as he wandered into the kitchen. A small child who had cotton candy pink hair with peach eyes and a thin body. “You don’t need to help me, idiot.” The boy said as he reached for a plate he had been trying to grab, taking him aback. Was that a fairy? Perhaps an elf by the looks but this child definitely didn’t seem in college. He was just trying to be nice! “Ah sorry, whoopsy!” The pink-haired boy said with a smile and it was like hearts were in his eyes. Did… he just do a personality change? ——————————————————————— a tragic comedy of school life mixed with romance. no concrete update schedule nor word-count. [bl] [slice-of-life] [campus] [roommates]
