I walked down the long side walk, my suitcase trailing behind as I tried to follow the map to my dorm house while juggling the box in my arm. I already got through regisration and now have my uniforms. The woman at the front desk said in the box were my white shirts, tan sweaters, red suits, red plad skirts, red ties, white stockings, and black shoes.

I had to use my leg to support the box as I looked at my new adress again. "This must be it." I mumbled to myself as I made my way up to the front door.

With a deep breath, I knocked on the door, not wanting to use my key and barge in on someone who most likely wouldn't be expecting another roomate. "Coming~!" a bubbly voice called from the other side of the door. I was soon met with a very hyper boy in the doorway with redish brownish hair and a little curl sticking out the left side of his head. "Ve~! Ciao bella~!" he greeted. "What brings you here~?"

I smiled politely, still trying to juggle my box, map, and other paper work. "...I'm sorry, I must have the wrong house...I'm looking for house number 1423."

"This is it~!" he sang. I tried not to show it, but I had a small heart attack right there on the front porch. I knew ever since elementery school that the number combonation 1423 was an unlucky combonation. I thought this time would be different, but no. As fate had it, now it was even worse. Instead of living with my controling brother, I was living with five strange men I've never met before. If they were women, I wouldn't have minded as much, but they were MEN! "What can I do for a bella like you?"

I bit my lip, trying to find the best way to tell him. "...I'm the...new student, and I was told this was my new adress..."

The man in the doorway smiled bigger, even though I thought it was impossable as he led me inside and shut the door behind me, pulling my suitcase behind him. "You're our new housemate~! That's fantastico~! I'm Feliciano Vargas~! Everyone who lives here are Ludwig, Kiku, Lovino, and Gilbert~! You're going to love it here~! What's your name bella?"

"..._ _..." I answered. "...I thought that mixed genders weren't allowed in the dorm houses."

"Not usually, but if there are mid-semester students that join, they're put in the houses with a free room, and the only houses with a free room is this one, the one next door, and across the street, but bellas would only be assigned to those dorm houses if it was necessary because Big Brother Francis lives next door, and Big Brother Antonio lives across the street. I'm sure you haven't met them yet, but you will eventually, they're Gilbert's best friends and form what's known on campus as the Bad Touch Trio, BTT for short~!" he explained in one breath. I didn't get it. How was this guy not blue yet after useing all that air?

I paused, taking in the information he threw at me. "...If Gilbert is part of the Bad Touch Trio, and that's appearently a bad thing, why am I permitted to stay here in Gilbert's dorm house?"

"Because Ludwig lives here too~!" Feli explained. "Ludwig is Gilbert's brother, he usually keeps him in check, especially around bellas~!"

"Speeking of everyone else that lives here...where are they?" I asked.

"Gilbert left with Francis and Antonio, something about getting back at Arthur for burning all the food again, and Lovino went out to get some pizza batter for dinner. Ludwig and Kiku went out to do the daily workout that Ludwig makes us do every day, but Ludwig let me stay home because the office called us and said that we'd have a new housemate coming today, and he knew I'd give you a warm welcome~!" he stated, giving me a hug. In responce, I tenced and pushed his arms away. He looked at me confused. "What's wrong?"

I sighed. "I'm just...not completely comfortable with men, okay?"

"Why?"

"I had a...bad experiance...and I've never really been able to get over it." I explained. "Let's just leave it at that." With that, I picked up my box again and headed up the stairs to find my new bedroom.

In the only unclaimed room, there was a simple wooden dresser, bed, full body mirror in the corner, a bookshelf, baige wall paint, and a simple door that must've led to a closet. Across the room was a window/door that led to a small balcony, not even enough room for a lawn chair, but there was a small stool out there. On the rail of the balcony, there were little white roses growing on the metal. The room looked high dollar, but at the same time, simple.

On the bed was a bare white matress, where I decided to start my room make over. I spread the (f/c) sheets on the bed and slid on the (f/c) pillow cases before I took out the (f/c) quilt with (quilt pattern) from my suitcase. Once that was spread, flat, and even, I took out the pillow cases that matched the quilt and placed the pillows over the tan ones. For the final touch, I placed my little (f/c) teddy bear on the bed with the little red stuffed heart.

Once the bed was made, I took out the weekend cloths I packed from my suitcase, putting them in the dresser before I loaded my uniforms in the closet. Sliding my suitcase under the bed after I dumped my books on the bed, my unpacking was done. Sighing, I went through my fun-read novles, comic books, grafic novles, mangas, and sketchbooks and put them up on the bookshelf in alphabetical order. Lastly, I put all my art things on the last shelf in a designated bag decorated with a sky-view picture of Italy with some Japanese word over it. I was never sure why I liked that bag so much, but I never left home without it.

Well, I didn't finish a moment too soon. As I steped back to admire my work, I heard car doors out the front. When I looked from the balcony, I saw six men. In one car, there was a pale man with silvery white hair laughing with two others, one golden blond man with shoulder length hair and fair skin (the distance made him look like a girl, but I knew it was a man from how deep his voice sounded), and a man with curly, chocolete brown hair and a sun kissed tan that looked almost as hyper as Feli. I remembered Feliciano telling me that Gilbert went off with two friends, so one of those three must've been him, and seeing as how the blond walked next door and the hyper brunette skipped across the street, the one with white hair must've been Gilbert.

In another direction, two men walked up to the dorm house. The larger man had yellow blond hair that was covered by a cap. The smaller man he was walking with had black hair and, though I couldn't see his face well, it looked very neuteral and unreadable. Since Feli told me that Ludwig and Kiku were working out, and those men were in work out cloths, I assumed they were Ludwig and Kiku, I just wasn't sure which was which.

In the car that acctually came in the driveway, another man came from the drivers side and marched in the house with something in his hands, his burned brown hair bounced as he made his march. Judging from the large hair curl coming from the right side of his head, that was most likely Lovino.

I hurried down stairs to greet them and introduce myself. When I got down there, the four men were talking amungst eachother. Gilbert was talking about how much fun he had at Arthur's work place, the big blond trying to get more people in the morning work out everyday, the small dull-faced brunette just on stand-by, and Lovino just calling everyone bastards, lugging the pizza batter in the kitchen. I didn't know where Feli was, but I wished he was there so I'd know someone down stairs.
