A College Love Story

Disclaimer: I do not own MKR.

A/N: I plan for this chapter to be longer. But once Eagle and Lantis really get in the picture, which I think will be in around chapter 4 or 5, the chapters will be longer and more interesting. But I can't write much because this is my first year of high school and I'll be busy... but I'll try to update every weekend.

Chapter Three: Senior!

~*~*

Hikaru was dazed and amazed as she looked at what was in her room that wasn't there before. It was a man. A man with sandy blonde colored hair. He was almost as tall as Cail-sensei and was really friendly looking. He was unpacking boxes of his own...

"Who are you and what are you doing?!" Hikaru uncharacteristically demanded.

"I'm Eagle Vision. I'm you new roomie, and I'm unpacking.^^" Eagle answered nicely.

"Wait a minute, Mister! Girls and boys can't room together! It's against campus policy!" Umi roared.

"They made me an exception. This was the only room I could go to." Eagle explained himself.

"Umi, don't worry. I'm sure everything will turn out all right." Hikaru attemped to calm down her friend, who was waving her arms around in the air and shouting incoherant curses.

"Oh all right. But I'm staying to watch this guy til my next class!" Umi sat down on Hikaru's black leather couch and pouted, crossing her arms.

Hikaru sat next to her. "So, Eagle, what year are you in?" Hikaru started the conversation. Eagle sat a lamp on a side table near his own chair (a beach chair) and sat in the chair.

"I'm a senior. Ha ha, so you two won't have to worry about having to room with me next year!" he chuckled, but he really wasn't as hurt as Hikaru thought.

"Oh no, Eagle-san! We didn't mean anything by that, it was just a surprise is all!" she flailed her arms around as she pleaded him to believe her.

"Alright. Then you'll help me unpack?" Eagle gave an award winning smile to her.

"Oh course! Umi, do you want to help?" Hikaru turned to her friend.

"Um, I just remembered I have homework for my next class to do-- maybe next time!" Umi was already out the door before anyone could protest. She was NOT gonna help some guy she didn't even know, not even for Hikaru.

"So I guess it's just us, Eagle-san." Hikaru's face looked a little glummer than before, but Eagle didn't notice.

"You can call me Eagle." he reassured, putting an arm around her shoulders. Hikaru blushed at the gesture and hurried off to grab a box. Eagle frowned for a moment but hurried to help her.

"So, you never did tell me your name." Eagle reminded, picking up a colorful, wool blanket from a box.

"Omigosh I'm so sorry! I'm Hikaru Shidou, and a freshman. It's so nice to meet you!" she held out her hand for him to shake.

"Same here." he replied, taking her extended hand. Hikaru noticed how warm and comforting his touch was...

"So where do these hanging pictures go?" asked Hikaru, taking notice that the entire box was filled with pictures in the frames that you hang on the walls. You know the kind.

"Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to hang some of them here in the living room." Eagle informed, never taking his eyes off the tacky mexican blanket he was laying over the beach chair. Quite stylish.

"Uh, okay. I don't mind." Hikaru answered.

"I'm going to go put my clothes in my room. I'll be right back." Eagle trotted off with two big boxes.

Meanwhile, Hikaru looked at the pictures. One was of Eagle and a huge man and a shrimpy little kid with a weird green hat on, and another was of the huge man and Eagle high-fiving, and another was of... Eagle and Cail-sensei?!

Hikaru stared in disbelief. Could it be that the two were good friends? It really seemed like it... After all, Cail-senei was even smiling! And she was sure it was him!

She must have been staring at that one picture longer than she thought because all of a sudden Eagle was behind her breathing down her neck. Hikaru quickly spun around, blushing, because she had been staring at the picture of her teacher the whole time, and also because Eagle was so close to her...

"It seems you may have developed a little crush on that picture, Hikaru-chan.^^" Eagle noted.

"N-no, not at all... I was just wondering where you were going to put all these, I mean, I have some too..." Hikaru lied, trying to get the attention off of her cherry-red face.

"Oh really? Well we'll hang them together, now. It's okay if they're mixed up, we're roomies! For the entire year! Ain't it great?" Eagle exagerated. He really didn't believe that Hikaru had that many, for some odd reason.

"Um, s-sure. I'll go get mine..." Hikaru slowly walked towards her own bedroom door that still had plently of packed up boxes.

When Hikaru returned, she had only about 6 frames.

"Well, since you got to stare at my pictures, lemme stare at yours!" Eagle snatched up hers before she could think.

The first was of Hikaru being hugged hugely by Masaru and Kakeru, the next was of Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu in kindergarten, the next of Umi, Fuu and Hikaru at the high school prom, the next of Hikaru's dad, three brothers and herself, and of course Hikari. This was taken when Hikaru graduated from high school. The rest were... poorly drawn drawings that looked like they had been made in seconds. No doubt that Hikaru was making more pictures in her room so she'd look like less of a nerd... and that failed her completely.

"Well, I guess we'll hang my HUNDREDS of pictures over on these walls, and..." Eagle went on and on about his pictures cuz he had so many friends.

Hikaru had already hung her pictures and had retreated back to her room to get her books for her up-coming class.

Eagle was still talking about where he was going to put his photos when she left.
