The soft tick tock from the clock softly resonates through the silence that smothers the almost empty room. A wooden desk here, a bean bag the color of barf over there, some throw away comics strew this way, and a bundle of plush comforters as a bed right in the corner there. A plain and simple room. Not much needed. A hum of boredom breaks the silence from the makeshift bed's occupier.
Another yawn and the occupier lifts the lid of their laptop. The screen flickers to life and the smiles of those on the screen bring a twitch of a smile onto the occupier's own lips. "Fun year that was..."
The soft tapping of fingers onto keyboard are a soft murmur...
...
...
...
...
The brief yelp of terror followed by the unmistakable sound of something crashing which is then followed by a clumsy pair of footsteps scurrying towards the room does nothing to prepare the occupier of what was to come. The door slams against the wall as it is pushed open with unneeded force, and the intruder barges in without missing a beat.
"Kai!" The intruder jumps into the makeshift bed.
Kai doesn't react. Instead, "Hm?" Eyes still attached to the blinking screen.
"Kai, you have to help me!" The intruder continued to shout, though there was no need to. Kai was a foot away.
"What is it, Ruki?" Kai glanced at his fellow house mate and all attention went to the other. His friend was honestly frightened. Why? "What happened?"
Ruki swallowed before answering, and Kai was literally gawking at the answer. Not just gawking, but if this were an anime, he would've done one of those facepalms, sweat-dropped, and crash into the carpet floor, hard. The answer was just-!
"...What?" Kai wouldn't believe it. No friggen way. Was Ruki playing a joke on him? If he was, then it was pretty much a fail. But he had to make sure he heard right. So he risked having his ears listen to the reason to why Ruki appeared so panicky. Why he had the balls to bombard through the hall and kindly leave his room door-less so he can ask for help.
"There's a huge ass bug in my room."
...
...
...
"Ruki, you're not-?"
"No, I'm not high."
"-joking."
"..."
"..."
"...Ru-"
"Come! I'll show you!" Ruki huffed, not giving the other time to say anything more. He yanked Kai's wrist and forcefully brought him to his feet and down the hall stopping right at the doorway of his room.
...
...
"Well?" Kai was beginning to get really annoyed.
"Shh! Don't you hear it?" Ruki, for once, whispered.
"Hear what?" But Kai needed no reply, for he heard it.
Skitter skitter
Kai cautiously stepped in, cocking his ear towards the source.
Skitter skitter
Sounds like little feet running around...Kai mused. But it's close.
Skitter skitter skitter
Closer now. Kai paused. Wait...He glanced at Ruki, who was frozen on his spot. "What did you say this thing was?"
Now Kai really wished he hadn't have asked. The skittering had stopped completely, and he felt his hair give out under something...big...Kai stood stock-still, raising his hand to feel it. His eyes went wide, his face paled, and his breath hitched. The rubbery thing twitched at the poke of his finger and CRAWLED down his forehead and before it got any lower Kai slapped it away and, forgetting his male pride, shrieked like no tomorrow.
Ruki was halfway down the stairs, screaming like an idiot high on helium, "COCKROACH! COCKROACH! HELP! COCKROACH!"
"RUKI!" Kai practically crashed on the way down, jumping onto the other's back like a lifeline. "Don't you fucking leave me!"
"KAI!"
"RUKI!"
"KAI!"
"RUKI!"
"What the FUCK? Are you two high?"
Kai and Ruki are pretty much bawling like babies when they're greeted by the rest of their housemates and neighbors. (Apparently they were so loud, they disturbed the ruckus of a party next door.)
"REITA!" The pair cried out, scrambling their way towards their brave friend, Reita.
"Quit yelling! What happened?" The nose banded friend places one hand onto the pair's heads, keeping their snot and teary faces away.
It takes a while, with all the boogers and salty tears in the way but they managed to choke it out. "COCKROACH!"

Every glassware in the house shatters to pieces from the ear splitting screams that were emitted by every MALE that encountered the huge ass roach.
