Horuss walks into the elevator of the dorm building, clicking the button for the third floor and waiting patiently for the automatic doors to close in front of him.

His skin is damp with sweat from a hard afternoon's work. He had taken a part time job at an auto shop after some persuasion from his dad, the owner. While he technically did not need the extra money that came with the job, it was the only way that Horuss's father had agreed to continue to provide for his son. That, and the fact that Horuss was having to major in mechanics, while he would much rather be taking classes in veterinary sciences.

The job was not that bad though. It was not something that he necessarily disliked doing and it was not actually difficult for him. He had grown up with his father teaching him and his little brother about mechanics since they were young. The long haired man did not think that it would be a bad way to spend his time, at least until he was able to have enough of his own money to pay for veterinarian school.

He takes the towel from around his shoulders and dabs some sweat from his forehead. It was toward the beginning of the school year, September, and the days still have not cooled down enough for the outdoor labor to be easier on him. His black tanktop is soaked with sweat and is sticking to his chest.

When the elevator doors open, he steps out and makes his way down the hall, counting off the door numbers until he reaches his dorm room.

He can hear the television on inside, and assumes that his roommate, Dirk, must be watching Netflix inside. Dirk is a bit of an all around genius. He got into this college with a full ride in engineering mechanics, much like Horuss, but is also good at drawing, programming, rapping, and martial arts. Not to mention he takes an interest in philosophy and mythology, both of which Horuss knows very little about. He is also very good at ventriloquism, a talent that he uses for the sole purpose of disturbing his roommate. And to top it all off, Dirk is very handsome. He has sand-blond hair and a lean, yet muscular build. He is fairly tall and has striking orange eyes that he hides with a pair of cheap anime sunglasses.

Horuss and Dirk had met during their first week of school when they had a few classes together. After realizing that they both have a strange love for horses, they decided to become roommates. Horuss was even able to get Dirk a job at the autoshop during the summers, though Dirk had opted to focus on school work once college started up again. The two were going into their third year of college.

Horuss opens their door and steps in while wiping the sweat from his face as he glances over to the couch where Dirk would usually be, only to see his roommate sitting with someone that he has never seen before.

The stranger is a tan teenager, probably not much younger than the two juniors. He has a messy, black mohawk with three bright red streaks in it, and several piercings in both of his ears along with one in his left eyebrow. He wears a red shirt with black skinny jeans.

Horuss frowns slightly and walks into the room, tripping slightly over the stranger's red converse that he had left at the door.

Dirk looks up from the bright Sailor Moon anime opening on the television as his roommate enters their dorm. He reaches over for the Xbox controller and presses the pause button on the remote. "Hey, didn't know you were going to be home so early," he says with a blank face.

Horuss continues to wipe at his face as he makes his way into the open kitchen area. He glances at their guest as he opens the refrigerator. "I am only a bit early because my father wanted to close shop before we normally do," he says, flashing a smile in his roommate's direction. His smile falters slightly as he accidently catches eye contact with Dirk's friend the next time that he glances over at him.

He really wishes that Dirk had told him that he would be having company. He really did not like having other people see him in such a disheveled state. Especially when the other person is as attractive as the man across the room. He did not just think that. He shakes his head slightly to clear his thoughts as he takes a bottle of water from the fridge, opening it up and taking a quick drink before adjusting the messy bun that holds up his long dark hair.

"Sweet. Anyway," the blonde changes the subject, "This is Rufioh. He's having pizza with us tonight. Rufioh, this is my roommate, Horuss."

Rufioh gives a shy nod and a smile. "Hey, uh-... Hey."

Horuss blushes as he realizes that Rufioh's eyes had been down, roaming across his chest and shoulders until he had been introduced. He must think that I look disgusting right now, covered in sweat and car grease. Horuss thinks.

"Smooth, Nitram," Dirk pats the back of the person next to him before looking back over to Horuss. "You can go shower. I'll call for delivery. You want veggies, right?" he asks the taller man, though he already knew the answer.

Horuss nods quickly and takes another drink from the bottle of water before screwing the cap back on and putting it into the fridge again. He turns to face the two men on the couch, uttering out a quiet, "It is nice to meet you," before hurriedly making his way down the hall toward the bathroom and away from the other two men.

Well I really wasn't happy with the severe lack of Nachoship fanfics. So I decided to write one. Please let me know what you think, and if you want me to write more.
