Theme: Silence/Voiceless
Rating: T for Kanda's swearing :3
Summary: Kanda is sick of not being able to study with Lavi blasting his music, so he requests a roommate change.
"Nice legs, Daisy dukes,
Makes a man go whoo-whoo
That's the way they all come through
Like whoo-whoo whoo-whoo
Low-cut, see-through shirts That make you whoo-whoo
That's the way she come through
Like whoo-whoo whoo-whoo"
Kanda felt his eye twitch and his hand instinctually reach for Mugen. Unfortunately it had been confiscated a few days ago when he used it to chop up a few computers who were giving him grief. Kanda's anger grew and he turned to glare at the cause of all his troubles.
Whipping his red hair back and forth and attempting (and failing) to hit the notes of the song was his roommate Lavi. He had disregarded his normal black eye patch for a heavily decorated green and gold one. He stood in a ridiculous pose and was using a hair brush as a microphone. His hand made a move to turn the volume up but was stopped when it was hit with a well aimed chopstick.
"What the hell Yu?" Lavi turned a quivering eye on Kanda.
"Turn that shit off and don't call me that Idiot Rabbit," Kanda grunted. Lavi blinked a few times and then got a devious grin on his face. He turned sideways, pointed to his ear, and practically yelled.
"What's that? I can't hear you over this awesome music!" Lavi's grin grew wider and Kanda's grip on the textbook in his lap tightened. Kanda swore that as soon as he got Mugen back he would destroy Lavi and his precious surround sound system.
"Idiot Rabbit, I know you can fucking hear me." Kanda reached for the second chopstick and deftly threw it Lavi's eye. Lavi managed to dodge by diving for his bed and the chopstick hit the wall, clattering to the floor harmless. The red head, with no regard for his own safety, reached grabbed the remote and flipped the volume of the music up.
The horrible tune clawed its way into Kanda's head and snapped something deep within him. He abruptly stood up, gathered his study materials, and left the room. Kanda heard Lavi whisper to himself before turning the music up even more.
"Can't you take a joke Yu?"
XxXxX
Kanda rubbed his temples and stared at the textbook in front of him. He couldn't stand the library. It was supposed to be a quiet area to study, but it seemed like everyone was whispering to their neighbors behind their books. The librarian never seemed to notice. He was always hidden behind a pile of scrolls and old documents, only coming out when the mutterings of the students became too close to a normal volume.
Kanda wanted to tell every other person in the library to 'shut up', but that would just get him in trouble. He tried to ignore the small snippets of gossip flying about. Contrary to his excellent concentration whispers of who liked who and such still sneaked into his brain. He was just about to snap when a shadow fell over his books.
"Hey Kanda!" He looked up to see Lenalee sliding into the seat next to him. "Why are you here? I thought you hated the library?"
"I do hate the library." Lenalee raised an eyebrow. "Lavi is listening to his moronic music way too fucking loud."
"He's done that before… what do you normally do?"
"Threaten him with Mugen." A soft laugh escaped Lenalee as she shook her head.
"You should just request a room change." Kanda turned to glare at her.
"I can do that?" She laughed a little harder and nodded.
"Of course, they aren't always approved but I think you have a valid reason. And since my brother is the dean I can always pull a few strings."
"Che." Kanda started to gather his things and caught Lenalee glancing at him when he got up. "What?"
"Where are you going?"
"To go request a roommate change," Kanda replied over his shoulder. Lenalee hopped out of chair.
"Already?" Kanda didn't bother with answering her. He simply walked out of the library, huffing as he went through its doors.
He looked down the hallway on either side of him. 'What would be the easiest route to the office?' he thought to himself. Kanda turned right and started walking down the empty hall. After what he guessed was a half hour he finally arrived at the main office.
"Fucking school is too fucking large," Kanda grumbled. He slid into the office and wondered whether he should just go to Komui's office. One of the secretaries saw him looking about and waved him over. Kanda walked over and stared at the person behind the desk. He had frizzy brown hair and giant glasses. To Kanda it seemed like the person was more of a student than a member of the staff.
"Are you Yu Kanda?" the secretary asked hesitantly.
"Che, yes."
"I was… asked to inform you that you will not be able to retrieve Mugen early even if you make threats." When he was finished speaking the secretary gulped.
"That's not what I'm here for," Kanda deadpanned. The guy behind the desk blinked and visually perked up.
"Then how can I help you?" He now had a huge smile plastered on his face. Kanda found that a tic was starting to form on his.
"I'd like to request a room change." The worker blinked a little more and sat back in his chair.
"I'm sorry. I'm not authorized to fill such a request. I could get you an appointment with Mr. Lee though." Kanda tched and walked away from the desk. "Uhh Mr. Kanda…" The navy haired teen was maneuvering around the desks and towards the private office in the back of the room. "Where are you going?"
Kanda pushed open the door. "Komui, I want a room change."
Lenalee's eccentric brother looked up from his "paperwork". Which were really photos of Lenalee in various outfits. Seeing Kanda Komui leapt up and swept the pictures from his desk. He attempted to straighten himself up but didn't do a very good job of it. His hair was flying every which way and his glasses were crooked upon his nose. He reached up and pushed them further up his nose, still crooked. Kanda sighed and gave the room a short look through.
"What was that Kanda?"
"I want to switch rooms." Komui tilted his head.
"What's wrong with rooming with Lavi?"
"He's annoying and doesn't allow me to fucking study."
"Oh Kanda you should watch your mouth, remember I am the dean." The purple-haired man wore a smile comparable to a cat's. Kanda walked up to the desk separating them and leaned his hands on it. His face was about an inch away from Komui's.
"Don't give me that shit. I want a room change and you're going to give me one." Komui started sweating and licked his lips.
"Well… umm could you please provide a few more details?" Kanda narrowed his eyes.
"That idiotic rabbit plays his crap music so loud you can't hear yourself think in a room on the opposite side of the dorm."
"And why does this bother you." Kanda knew Komui was aware of how much he was aggravating him. And so he wondered why the fuck he was continuing with this.
"I can't focus on my studies."
"There!" Komui hopped up again away from Kanda. "That is what I was looking for! I'll set up for a room change as soon as possible!" Kanda's frown turned deeper.
"What the fuck?"
"If I'm questioned why I gave you a room change I need a valid reason why~ Just cause your roommate is annoying does not go over very well with authorities."
"Authorities? Why would the-" Komui flapped his arms around and made to put his hand on Kanda's mouth. Though he stopped himself before he did. The two guys stared at each other for a few seconds before Komui recomposed himself.
"Nothing Kanda, nothing. Anyway I will get you a room change as quick as possible." Kanda raised one of his eyebrows.
"And how soon will this be?"
Komui leaned down and rummaged around in the drawers of his desk. "It will likely take a week to process all the paperwork. And then we have to notify your new roommate and move you in." Komui looked up to find himself staring down the blade of Mugen. He loudly gulped. "Where did you find that?"
"You left it lying around in your office and made me mad, idiot. That is too much time. I need a room change now."
"Eh, eh I guess the day is still young." Komui placed his enlarged eyes back on the papers in his desk. He reached down and pulled out a thin black binder. "These are the people who are currently roommate less and open. I think the best match for you…" Komui paused and flipped through the binder. "Yes, that would be Allen Walker. He's a straight A student so I doubt he'll bother you while you're studying."
Kanda retracted Mugen from Komui's vicinity and sheathed it. "Sounds fine to me. When can I move in?"
"Well… just let me notify Allen and see what's convenient for him." Kanda snorted.
"And the paperwork?" Komui eyed Mugen and shivered.
"We can do that later."
"Good. I'm going to pack then." Kanda went to leave but then turned back. "And I'm taking Mugen." Then he really did leaving, a smirk hinting on his lips.
XxXxX
Kanda frowned as he came up to his door. He was able to hear Lavi's music from the stairs and now, closer, it pounded on his ears.
When I walk in the spot, this is what I see
Everybody stops and they staring at me
I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it
I'm sexy and I know it
Lavi looked up in surprise as Kanda entered their dorm room. "I thought you would have been gone all day!" he yelled over the sound of his stereo. Kanda bared his teeth in annoyance and decided to just walk by instead of answer.
The navy haired teen flipped open one of his drawers and started taking his clothes out and piling them on his bed. His eyes flicked about the room and he tried to think of what else he needed. He had his clothes, Mugen… he pulled his suitcase from under his bed and threw his clothes in it. Afterwards he went into the bathroom and grabbed his things, later stuffing them into his suitcase.
"Oi, Yu! Why are you packing?" Lavi yelled as he came rushing into the room. Kanda looked pointedly between him and the stereo and thumbed Mugen. Lavi pierced his lips together and crept over to his stereo. With a quick motion he pressed the power button and the infernal music stopped.
"I can't study with the volume you have your fucking music at. So I'm moving."
"Moving?" Lavi's jaw dropped and he simply stared at Kanda.
"Yeah moving, idiot rabbit. I'm getting a new roommate and room." Kanda suddenly felt something latch onto his leg. He looked down to find Lavi sobbing into his pants leg. "What the fuck!"
"Don't leave me Yu! I promise I'll change!"
"Get the fuck off me!" Kanda growled and kicked Lavi away. The red head crashed into his bed and smiled lopsidedly at his soon to be ex-roommate.
"So are you replacing me with?" Kanda shook his head and went back to shoving his stuff back into the suitcase.
"Some kid named Allen Walker." He heard a loud gasp and turned back just to check the idiot wasn't choking himself. Instead of that wonderful image he saw Lavi gaping at him. "What?"
"Allen Walker… he's the local freak!" Kanda raised an eyebrow.
"How so?"
"Well he has this disfigured arm and no one knows how it happened. He's also very and I mean very good at poker and supposedly has a lot of debt following him around! He has violent mood swings too! Though he is smart and pretty cute."
Kanda sighed before saying "I don't care as long as he doesn't stop me from studying." This shut Lavi up and allowed Kanda to finish his packing.
XxXxX
Kanda looked up at his new dorm building. It looked exactly like his old one- same brick, same window style, same wooden doors. He only hoped that it didn't have the same bad luck with roommates.
The navy-haired teen saw Komui stick his head out of the door and beckon to him. He walked up the steps and into the dorm. Standing next to Komui was a boy who Kanda guessed was his knew roommate. He had white hair and silver eyes, one of which featured an abnormal red scar. Kanda couldn't help but think that Lavi was right about him being cute, though he carefully slid that thought to the back of his mind.
"As you have probably guessed this is your new roommate! Kanda this is Allen, Allen this is Kanda!" Komui grinned while he spoke but was edging towards the door the whole time.
Allen timidly extended his hand toward Kanda. "It's nice to meet you." Kanda stared at his hand for a second, which was covered in a glove, before taking it.
"Che." They separated their hands and simply stared at each other.
"Well I'll show you to our room." Allen said and then he turned and led Kanda off. Leaving Komui just standing there smiling.
"I know this is a good decision."
XxXxX
Kanda followed Allen into his new dorm room. It was laid out the same way as his old one but this was so much cleaner. And searching about Kanda couldn't see anything that even remotely resembled a stereo.
"That's your bed." Kanda turned to see Allen pointing at one of the beds. He walked over to it and dropped his suitcase on it. He then placed Mugen beside the bed. "Is that a sword?" Kanda blinked and glanced at his new roommate.
"Technically it's a katana."
Allen nodded and said, "It looks like it's a beautiful weapon." Kanda stared at Allen for a moment then grunted and turned back to his suitcase.
After getting his work from it he sat down and started working. The lovely peace of silence pressed upon his ears. When he looked at his roommate Allen was totally absorbed in the book he was reading. And Kanda thought to himself, 'he might be considered a freak, but he doesn't seem like one. Plus he's so quiet. So screw Lavi, let's see how this goes.'
'Maybe I will enjoy it here."
I'll rewrite this later when I have time v.v and I'll likely use a later theme to continue the story~ Hope that everyone who read this enjoyed it *bows*
