"What the hell?!" Nix exclaimed in shock. He didn't know what to say. He had been hoping that there would be something interesting in the room. Anything. But two? There was no way two students would share such a small space. There would be no privacy.
He looked at Mune, his mouth hanging open. He had been so hoping for something different, he hadn't even considered the idea of two students sharing a room.
"That would explain the condition of the bed and the bathroom." He facepalmed.
[Sooo... You might or might not be too pleased to know who your roommate is] Mune looked at him, a worried expression on her face.
"What do you mean by that?!" He glared in her direction, making her squeal and rush into the closet to hide for the moment.
Click!
Nix turned around to see the roommate who had been given access to the room too.
The girl in that familiar revealing black mini dress was standing in the doorway, a look of utter shock on her face.
'Pretty face?! She's my roommate?!' His mouth hung open for a while, before he regained his composure.
[I did say you might or might not like it!] Mune's distant, yet loud voice could be heard from inside the closet by Nix.
"And a little too late, don't you think?!" He growled through gritted teeth in response.
"Y– you again!" She pointed her accusing finger at Nix.
He gulped and nodded. He should have expected this too. There was no way this pretty face had been chosen to share the dormitory. Nix took a step back, raising his hands up.
'Of course, pretty face came back to haunt me.' He chuckled bitterly at his twisted predicament.
Lumina took a few steps forward, her eyes narrowing. She grabbed a hold of Nix's shirt, pulling him close to her. She stared at him for a while, her eyes narrowing even further.
"You specifically said I should steer clear of your path, now you invade my dormitory like a creep." She hissed, her body tensed. Her voice was cold.
'Your dormitory?! A creep?! To hell with those words. The pass directed me here too, goddammit!' His thoughts raged.
"There seems to be a misunderstanding here." Nix said instead, it was useless returning the same energy she was displaying.
He wasn't sure how to respond, she wouldn't really believe him so easily anyways. He had been hoping that they hadn't started off at the wrong foot. He hated the arrangement as much as she did.
"I was hoping to be paired with a handsome young man, not some..." Lumina cut off her own thoughts, her eyes widening in horror. She was about to say "man like you" but managed to stop herself in time. She was clearly trying to think of a better way to word it.
However, the way she was looking at Nix made it clear that she didn't think he was handsome as whoever she had pictured. On the contrary, she looked disgusted by his presence. She took a step back and looked out the window.
With his gaze staring at his boots, Nix's mood darkened at her choice of words, it wasn't that he wasn't good looking but how she had referred to him felt insultive. He hated to admit it, but he wasn't the type of person who liked being made fun of.
He wouldn't sit there and take it. He raised his head and faced Lumina, glaring at her. She looked surprised at his sudden change of character and looked away. He waited for her eyes to return to him, before walking up to her and pinning her against the window.
She let out a small squeak at this, before looking back at him, her eyes wide. Leaning forward, he whispered into her ear, "I can do this all day, pretty face." His lips brushed up against the earlobe.
A wave of electricity went through her at the touch. She moaned a little into the ear. Instantly regretting her action, her hands latched over her mouth.
'So she's sensitive to touch!' Nix snickered in his thoughts.
She turned her head, and stared up at him, her eyes looking at the lips that had touched her ear.
Her cheeks flamed at the thought. She was shocked that he would do such a thing. She had tried to avoid the touch as much as possible. In fact, she had hoped that he would do just that.
Nix chuckled a little. He knew that she wouldn't say anything. It was obvious from the way she was blushing, that she liked what he did. He knew that she was thinking about it.
He reached up, and stroked her cheek. "You know, I really like the way you blush... I mean the way you get all flustered around me." He whispered into her ear.
Lumina shivered a little, her eyes closed.
"I'd like to see you blush more often." He continued.
Suddenly, he pulled away, shoving his hands into his pockets.
Lumina looked at him, a puzzled expression on her face. He noticed that she was still blushing.
"I didn't think it would be proper for a young man with such an appearance as I do, should make you feel this way, don't you think it's a little strange?" He asked her, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
He had gotten what he needed from her reaction. She had merely said that in a fit of rage.
She had no other reaction than to blush. She had to admit that she was feeling it.
Nix knew that he was getting to her. He was really starting to enjoy this. He smiled inwardly. He had not expected to enjoy any part of this at all.
Easing the tension out of his shoulders, he gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I won't do anything you don't want me to." He assured her.
She stared at him blankly.
He couldn't read her expression. He couldn't tell if she was mad about what he said or if she found it amusing.
"But I do have one question." Nix said, his eyes turning behind him towards the bed. Looking back at her.
She looked over at the bed, her eyes widening at the sight. "Um... okay?"
