(Normal POV)

It was the beginning of the year for the freshmen at Pelydryn University, and everyone was signing up for their dormitories, if they lived outside of the local area.

Ray was waiting by the entrance of the main building for someone. Ray had a pen pal called Max, from America and found out that they would be attending the same university as each other. They knew what each other looked like, after the two years of sending descriptive letters and pictures of each other, but just in case, they both said in their last letters what they'd be wearing. Ray was wearing his traditional village wear, being white and yellow edges, black trousers and a red tie around his waist. He was expecting to see a blonde haired boy with black top and black jeans. Ray was assured that Max was not a Goth, but always wore black on first appearances, to allow him to portray any number of emotions and not be restricted by wearing specific happy or sad colours, like yellow or grey. Ray pictured his personality to be an artistic type, being that hyped up about colours.

Ray waited for an hour, leaning against the wall with his eyes shut, in deep thought, beginning to feel a little home sick, being so far from China. Then, his sensitive ears twitched from hearing his name being called off from the distance.

(Ray's POV)

"Ray!"

I looked up to see black and blonde waving to me.

"Max!" My face lit up to see my friend, as did Max's.

"Finally, the Ray-man in person." Max joked. They hugged. I thought that I'd be lying if I didn't find Max attractive, and fit as I felt his abs against his own, but I don't see him in that way. Besides, Max has a boyfriend.

"How was your flight?"

"Great, but remind me NEVER to make a one way flight from the US again!" The boys grabbed their stuff and made their way to the freshmen desks, to pick up their schooling info.

"How come?"

"Sheesh it was long! I was dying to run around the chairs… but I lost count on how many times they told me off for doing so." I laughed.

It was our turn to accept envelopes.

"Room 407, where are you! I asked, so as I could make a mental note on where Max would be. Max smiled enthusiastically,

"Room 407!"

"No way!" I couldn't help but join in the enthusiasm.

We took our stuff to our room and 'dibbed' a bed each. There were only two beds in the room, but the window view is always the favourite, which I won. Yey!

"So… you haven't told me why you were so bummed out in your last letter. What's up?" I asked in concern. Max sighed,

"It's Tyson he's staying home for a University."

"That's not too bad Maxie. He could always visit."

"From Japan! Not likely."

"Oh, I'm sorry." I sympathised, "Hey don't worry about it. Long distance relationships can work out… right?" We wondered some more around the grounds. "So how did you guys keep the relationship going before?"

"I stayed with my dad for most of the year." Max explained,

"I know, in that sports shop."

"Yeh, it was practically around the corner from Tyson's place." We sat on a bench, and Max rested his head in his hands, unknown that they were being followed. Max sighed,

"I miss him already." Max whined,

"C'mon. There's gotta be something about him you hate!"

"No. Maybe his eating habits, but I love him all the same." Max answered back to me. I raised a curious eyebrow,

"I didn't say anything!" Max looked at me confused.

"I missed you too." The stalker revealed himself, "One month is way too long to be apart from you!" We turned around to see a dark blue haired teen in a red undone top and blue jeans, carrying a duffle and a wicked yet irresistible smile. Max snapped back and his face glowed,

"Tyson!" he jumped up and squeezed the life out of Tyson.

"Hey, I'm not a squeeze toy!" he laughed,

"We'll see about that." Max whispered flirtily, though I heard it (and tried SO hard to keep back a laugh, making Tyson blush as well. He let go. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh fine, I'll go back to Japan… with my eating habits."

That's not what I meant. It's great to see you." They both smiled, trapped in somewhat of a dreamy, other dimension. I think I'm gonna be sick! Lol!

"So who's this? You are not two-timing me now, are you?" Tyson said, back in reality, a false look of betrayal written all over his face.

"Ha. Ha. No, this is Ray. My pen pal I told you about." Max explained, introducing the me to his lover.

"Ah, so this is Ray. Nice to meet ya!" Tyson and I shook hands.

"And this is Tyson." Said Max, making the final introduction, and then wound his fingers in-between Tyson's.

"Hi. I've heard a lot about you." I started conversation,

"Have you now." Tyson flirted, making Max blush, and hit him!

Hey! Y'know I was only joking!" Tyson laughed, as did I, when Max puffed out his adorable cheeks and crossed his arms.

'Aww Max looks so cute when he does that!' Ray thought, as they made their way to find Max and Ray's dormitory.
