Their situation was, to say the least, a little unique.

9 men living together in a college dorm? Yeah, that certainly wasn't normal. But to be fair it wasn't just one room and one bathroom for nine men to squish into—because even if they'd been friends for years now they still didn't want to see each other's dicks.

Gross.

No, somehow they'd managed to snag a unique room located on the highest floor of their dorm hall. With one common area and only six rooms that shared it, the set up was unusual and secluded—just what they needed as a gang that literally hated everyone but themselves.

In reality the room was meant for top honors students or some group of prominent and influential kids at their uni, but—with the help of some connections—they'd managed to snag it. And so, for the last three years they'd been living in the dorm together undisturbed—everyone on campus having learned one way or another that the dorm was Akatsuki property until they finally graduated—…but, today it seemed their undisturbed lifestyle finally came to an end.

"What the fuck do you mean some fucker is moving in with us?!" Hidan roared, jumping off the couch in shock. The other males, who'd been scattered throughout their dorm, immediately gathered at hearing the frightening words leave Hidan's mouth.

"Listen man," Kisame tried to defend, having been the one who spoiled the good atmosphere just a moment ago. "I was walking through the lobby a few minutes ago and I saw one of the building managers talking to this one dude who I've never seen before—and they were talking about rooming options and apparently the only room available is ours."

"That's bullshit, yeah," Deidara said with a scowl, crossing his arms over his chest. "We're the only room left? Out of all the dorm halls here? You're shitting me, yeah."

"Actually, they're really tight for space this year," Itachi nonchalantly put in, not seeming too perturbed by the news of the new roommate. "There's been an influx of students this year due to the—"

"I swear to fucking god, Uchiha," Hidan bit, not in the mood for Itachi's wisdom and facts at the moment. Itachi just rolled his eyes.

"All I'm trying to say is that we can't change it," he said. "There really is no other room in this university."

"This fucking sucks," Hidan huffed, kicking the pillow at his feet in rage. Said pillow then barreled across the room, landing right at the feet of the Akatsuki leader.

Well—"leader" was a bit much. Pein was just…the most responsible and typically sober one of the group. He also made a lot of the big decisions that pertained to the dorm too, so over time that had earned him the nickname of 'Leader'. However, the other males never called him that seriously…because that would put a dent in their pride, and they didn't want to be considered his bitches anyway.

But back to the point!

"Itachi is right," Pein spoke with a quiet sigh, reaching to pick up the pillow at his feet. "There is no more room on campus this semester, and while I'm sure that many of you aren't happy at the moment, I think we're just going to have to deal with it."

"Oh I'll deal with it," Hidan said, cracking his knuckles threateningly, and across the room his roommate sighed.

"Stop that, you idiot," Kakuzu said, narrowing his eyes at the silver haired male. Hidan glared back.

"Shut up, fucker."

Surprisingly, Kakuzu didn't back down. He really must've been in a bad mood at the news too.

"You wanna fight?"

Hidan barked a laugh, starting angrily towards his roommate.

"I kick your ass, motherfucker!"

"You two—," Sasori started, sighing in exasperation as they grabbed each other by the collar. Their fists were clenched at their sides, ready to strike, and Kisame and Deidara had already stepped forward to drag them apart, but before anything could happen there was a clicking sound. They all quickly realized that is was their door unlocking when, after another second, the door swung open and a male lugging two duffle bags shuffled in.

They all froze, eyes judgingly scanning the male they could only assume was their new roommate up and down. He was about 5'7" with short brown hair that was shaved on the sides and styled on top. In his right ear lobe were two piercings, and he wore gray framed glasses which behind laid a pair of blue eyes that were beautiful enough to surely score him some ladies.

Hidan despised the dude already. He looked like a pretty gay boy. Fuck, he really wanted to kick his ass.

"Oh, hello," the guy suddenly spoke, attracting their attention back to his face. His eyebrows were raised innocently, blinking at them all after realizing that they'd been staring.

"I'm your new roommate," he coughed awkwardly after a moment longer, the Akatsuki's eyes still trailed on him sternly. Hidan was the first to speak.

"Do you know who we are?" he bit out, his voice hard with barely contained disgust at the situation, and the new male titled his head to the side quizzically.

"I don't…am I supposed to? I'm new here…"

"Oh my god," Hidan groaned, dragging his hands down his face angrily. "They stuck a fucking freshman with US?!"

However, before Hidan could go off on a tangent and the others could sigh and regret life, the new guy spoke up again.

"Actually—I'm not a freshman. I'm a transfer student. This is my first semester here."

"Oh yeah?" Hidan scoffed. As if saying he was a transfer student would still erase the fact that he was fresh meat. "Then how fucking old are you then?"

To be honest, the Akatsuki expected him to say 'I'm a sophomore' or 'I'm 19' or something like that, but the minute he said, "I'm a senior. I'm 22," they were kind of taken aback.

22? That meant…he was older than all of them—even Pein.

Well shit, now it was awkward...

Wait, what? Fuck awkwardness! They were the Akatsuki! It didn't matter if he was older than them!

"Well, just so you know," Hidan continued, a devious grin spreading across his face as he locked eyes with the male again. "We're all in a fucking gang buddy, and you're not supposed to be here. So if you're wise, you should take your shit while it's still packed and go and try to arrange somewhere else to live."

The guy frowned. He frowned, but didn't seem shocked. Actually, he seemed a little unimpressed.

"Well, uhh," he spoke, adjusting the bag on his shoulder. He raised his eyebrows and scanned them over with his blue eyes, not seeming perturbed at all. "I don't mean to be here to annoy you or anything, but this was the only place available for me. The room coordinator told me that he tried to find somewhere else for me to be, but that every other room was full—for the guy and the mixed dorms. He even told me that—even though he couldn't put me in the girl's dorms—there was absolutely no room left. So, I apologize for intruding, and I don't want any trouble, but—," his feet moved and he shuffled father into the dorm, heading towards the rooms. However, after a minute he paused, blinking innocently, and turned to face them again.

"Where's my room, by the way?"

"Right here!" Tobi spoke up for the first time, skipping up to the male. The black haired man-child lead their new pest into his empty room, and with a small smile of thanks, the male entered. A few seconds later he emerged again, leaving the dorm completely to go and retrieve the rest of his belongings, and the Akatsuki finally dared to look at each other.

"He…wasn't scared at all, yeah…," Deidara said, seeming shocked. "He seemed sincere towards us…what the fuck?"

"Well," Kakuzu sighed, turning and trudging back towards his and Hidan's shared room. "As long as he stays out of our hair…"

Unable to deny the reality of the situation, many of the others sighed as well and started to move towards their own spaces. There was really nothing they could do to get the male to leave at the moment, so for now they'd just have to deal.

However, as the other 8 Akatsuki males scattered throughout the dorm Pein remained still, his uniquely purple eyes locked on the closed door where their new roommate had just exited. Something…didn't seem right about him. Pein couldn't pinpoint what exactly that 'something' was at the moment…but…

Sighing, Pein shook his head and dragged a hand through his orange hair. Either way, he was sure he'd figure it out eventually…

Wait….they hadn't even learned his name!

Hello there! It's been a while since I've posted anything on here. (I've been mostly hanging out on AO3 and writing poopy Kpop fanfiction). But I'm back!

A while ago, probably a year at this point, I posted a poll asking my wonderful reader (aka all of you) whether you'd prefer if I wrote "Sleep And Be Killed" or "Does It Even Matter?" Well, "Does It Even Matter" won, but since Sleep and Be Killed was shorter, I wrote that first. Plus, I wanted to wait to write a college AU until I was actually in college. A highschooler writing a college AU with no college experience didn't really make sense...so now here I am!

However, since I am a college student now I can't guarantee how much I'll be able to write (Like I could even guarentee such a thing before. HA!) But please hang in there with me. Some times I have no work and some times I have all of it. But since right now I'm only 3 week into the semester, my work load is still pretty light...

Anyway! This is just the prologue, so it's pretty boring at the moment. It'll get more exciting, I promise.

But, until next time, love you! And:

Please Review!
