Hey, it's Urter!
This is my first take on a Clannad Fanfic, but with a minor twist. In this twist, our OC here, Taiki, has transferred to the same class as our anime/VN's main protag, Tomoya Okasaki.
My grammar might be off here and there, so please, if you can, provide constructive criticism. If there is anything you think I should work on, please say so.
Flames are warm, and keep me toasty.

"God damnit, Taiki, wake up!"
Taiki Hamano slowly opened his eyes to a wondrous sight.
Well, if you call the inside of a plane, a wondrous sight.
"Ugh... Damnit, bru, I was trying to get some shut-eye... When do you sleep, man?"
"Oh, around four."
"Ugh... to think that I just met you on this plane... Why were you in America, anyways?"
"Meh, had to go meet some old relatives, you know."
"Okaaay, whatever you say, man. Now let me sleep." Taiki quickly closed his eyes before he could hear another word.
"Finally, I'm here... In Japan..."
Taiki got out of the airplane at around 13:45. It was a cold night, so Taiki shuddered in happiness.
"Yes... The cold..."
Taiki always loved the cold. Even in America, he would always go out barefoot, with shorts and a shirt, during the snow. Cold never affected him, so he was considered a polar bear among men to his classmates.
After getting his luggage, Taiki started to walk to his home. As a foreign exchange student, a swimmer, and a bonafide orphan, he got a dorm room right next to the school he was going to: Hikarizaka Private High School.
Taiki checked his watch. 14:30. His dorm was a five hour walk away.
He had time.
"Hello? Anyone home?"
Taiki walked into the dorm at around 20:00, having taken his time with the walk. He looked around and saw nobody.
-True, no one is normally up this late...
"Oh, hello!"
Taiki looked up. It was a woman, which was seemingly awkward, considering that this was a male dorm. She had dark-blue to purple hair, and looked around 5"5.
"Oh, hi. Is this the Hikarizaka Male Dorm? I just transferred here, so I'm a bit lost-"
"Oh! You must be Hamano Taiki. Pleased to meet you. I'm Sagara Misae."
Taiki was stunned for a second, before relaxing his shoulders as normal. He had forgotten how Japan states family name first.
-So her name must be Misae, huh...
Taiki looked around before speaking again.
"Yeah, that's me. Mind if I call you Misae? I'm still not used to the Japanese customs."
"Huh? Oh yeah, you're a transfer student. Here, come with me, I'll show you to your room." Misae started to walk around the corner. Shrugging, Taiki followed her.
Misae stopped at a door at the end of a hallway.
"Here it is. Second room, last door. Got it?"
"Yeah, thanks, Misae."
"No problem, Hamano-san."
"Um, you mind if you just call me Taiki? Like I said, I'm not that accustomed to the Japanese customs yet."
"Sure, Taiki..." Her voice fades away, like she was remembering an old memory.
"Um, Misae? Something wrong?"
Misae's head lurched upwards.
"Oh, nothing, Taiki! It's just... It's been awhile since I called someone by their first name, without honorifics..."
"No worries. I'll see you later, Misae!"
"Bye, Taiki!"
Taiki was finishing up the organization of his room when he heard some commotion in the room next to his.
"DAMN YOU RUGB-"
The voice was mysteriously muffled.
"Idiot!" A voice whispered. "Are you trying to get me killed!?"
"WHO WAS THAT?" A gruff voice across the hallway boomed. "IF I FIND OUT WHO DID THAT, I'LL KILL YOU!"
Sighing, Taiki got up and went to the room next door. He knocked.
"Who is it...?" A voice asked nervously.
"It's not a rugby player," Taiki smoothly said.
"What do you want..." The voice now became completely relaxed, like he didn't care about this stranger anymore.
"Let me in, or I'll call the rugby players."
"No.. You can't!"
"DAMN YOU, RUGBY PLAYERS!" Taiki shouted, before running back into his room.
When he reached his bed, he heard lots of gruff voices.
"Who was that!?"
"Hey! I bet you it's that Sunohara kid!"
"Yeah, I think so too! Let's get him!"
"YEAH!"
The loud mass of feet was increasing in volume. So were two voices.
"I guess I'll leave, Sunohara." It was a different voice, unlike the one who answered Taiki.
"You can't leave me! Where will you go? You can't run in time!"
"I'll head over to the other room. He seems like a cool guy."
"I thought I was your only friend!"
Taiki thought it was time to chime in.
"Not anymore, bub!" He yelled.
"See? Even he agrees." The sound of a pair of feet were heard shuffling to Taiki's room.
-This is gonna be a fun night...
