Once Professor Khan's class was over, the room filled with chattering students.

"I wonder who will be my partner?"

"I hope I get partnered up with someone smart." The classmate looked behind him at Rood who was lost in thought.

"I want to be with Juli! Maybe He chose us together because we are best friends!" Another classmate spoke up while looking at her friend.

"Hey! The list is already here! C'mon, let's go check it out!" The moment these words were said, a multitude of students got up to go check the list for their partner.

Rood sighed as he looked at the book that Lidusis had left on the desk when he got up to look at the list. 'He left the book again…'

"Hey Rood! The list of the partners is out already! Let's go see it! Stop sitting there and being laaaazy!" Dio said, hyper from the nap he took during class when he should have been paying attention.

"You are the last person I want to be called lazy from. Now let's go see the list." Rood replied as he got up from his seat, taking the book with him.

"Yay! I hope I'm partnered up with you since we're friends!" Dio said hoping that his friendship wasn't one-sided.

"I don't care." Rood said heartlessly when the blue-haired boy stopped in front of him suddenly. He bumped into the back of the older boy and looked at him confused.

"Ouch, why did you stop so suddenly?! And why are you covering my eyes?! Dio, what the hell!" Rood stumbled back a bit, his confusion as to why his friend was dragging him out of the classroom was clear in his voice.

"R-Rood! We need to go tell the professor to change your partner! Now!" He dragged short friend, his earlier cheerful demeanor having been replaced with panic. Rood was confused as to his friends panic as no explanation was given to him.

"Geez it's not like I've been partnered with a monster, let go of me for Christ sake." the blonde boy forced the hands away from his eyes, his tone being sarcastic.

"N-NO! You've been partnered with the monster!"

"Lidusis Dien Artian?"

"YES!" Dio confirmed, trying to push his stubborn friend into the classroom. Unfortunately, his friend stubbornly stays put.

"He's not a monster, he's a human. Do you sleep so much in class that you don'[t know the difference?"

"B-but Rood….." Despite his insistence, the smaller boy ignored Dio.

"Annoying." Rood muttered under his breath and walked to Lidusis. The blue-haired boy followed his friend hesitantly. When the smaller boy walked up to the shy boy, Lidusis looked at him nervously.

"We're partners. Let's work together." Rood gave him a smile and help up his hand, waiting for the other boy to shake his hand. Lidusis looked away shyly in a quiet refusal.

""I-it's fine... I can work by myself…."

"I refuse."

Lidusis's eyes widened in surprise at the younger boy's words.

"What if you do it wrongly? I don't know the amount of knowledge or skills you have and I don't want bad marks." Rood spoke persistently, leaving the gray haired boy with the only option of agreeing.

"Alright…" The other boy spoke shyly, looking through his long bangs, left with the feeling of only being able to say yes.

"Good boy." The shorter boy looked up at Lidusis as he smiled. Dio watched wide eyed, his jaw slackened as well. He couldn't help but wonder why Rood said good boy. Was Lidusis a dog?

The classes finally ended and students chattered cheerfully with one another. Lidusis stood out in the courtyard, the bright sun shining on his gray hair with not a cloud in sight, waiting for his research partner.

"Here you are! I was looking for you." Rood walked up to the other boy. He couldn't help but wonder if he had forgotten something.

"Um…. Is… is your roommate going to be in the room…?" Lidusis asked quietly and Rood finally realized what he had forgotten. Why hadn't he remembered that jerk?!

"He might be…." Rood thought about it for a moment before coming to a conclusion.

"How about this, I'll go get my notebook, and yours since you left it again. Then we can go to the library and use the books and computer for our research paper. Does that sound alright to you?" Lidusis nods shyly.

"Okay.. I can wait here."

"No, come with me." Rood didn't want to be alone with that weird roommate of his for as long as he can help it.

"Alright…" Somehow, it was impossible for Lidusis to oppose the smaller boy.

Rood and Lidusis stood in front of room 214, and opened the door.

"We're here let's go insi-" Rood froze when he noticed the person inside and sighed.

"Let's get inside." He walked in and tried to ignore Shicmuon, who had a few of the uniforms buttons undone.

"..." Shic stared at Lidusis silently but didn't move to say anything. Rood looked at him with a frown.

"D-do you have something to say again?" He scowled slightly at the auburn-haired boy who didn't bother to try his curiosity.

"Who's that."

"My friend Lidusis Dien Artian. Lidusis, this is my roommate Asujen Baldwin."

"N-nice to meet you…" The gay-haired boy stood there with a slight blush, looking at the ground shyly as he didn't know what to say in the awkward situation. Especially considering the fact that Rood had called him his friend.

"Whatever." Shic said and left the room, leaving the two Iduns alone. Rood sighed in annoyance and shook his head.

"Ignore that guy. Let's see… the notebooks are here." Rood picked them up and turned to Lidusis.

"Let's go." Lidusis nodded but couldn't help but be curious about the relationship between the roommates of room 214.

'So thirsty.' Shicmuon tsked as he walked down the hall to the nearest vending machine to buy a drink.

"Ah! Mr. Baldwin!" One of the professors of Shicmuon's class called his fake name. Shic turned his head to look at him in reply to the name being called.

"By the way, how is your room? Your roommate is also a new student like you so we thought it would be a good fit. It's a bit rare to have an Idun and Hereis together but please don't bully him," the professor laughed, "He is a chronically ill child and has a weak body as result of that."

Shic looked at the professor curiously. How was he a "weak bodied student" while he was able to flip the upperclass men as he had done previously. Not to mention the older boy was taller than him as well which would have made it even more difficult for the short boy.

"Mr. Baldwin…?"

"Nothing. Everything's fine. And… I found an interesting thing." The auburned-haired boy gave a smirk.

"Eh? Well I hope you enjoy your school life!" The professor smiled and started walking to his destination.

Rood and Lidusis left the room and started walking to the library, the taller boy walking a little bit behind the smaller boy.

"Lidusis walk faster. You're going too slow." Lidusis blushed and hurried to walk next to Rood.

"S-sorry."

"Don't apologize."

"A-ah… so-" The shy boy stopped mid-word before he apologized again.

They walked into the Library and looked around. There were students all over, the quiet sound of clicking coming from the mouse of the computer as well as the keyboard. On the other side were students looking through the different colored spines. Others were flipping through pages, the wind of the pages just slightly affected pushed their hair.

"Here we are. You search through the computer and I will go look at the books."

"But…. the books are more difficult to find information than the computers…. I can look through the books."

"No. I will don't worry about it."

"But… Okay." Lidusis nodded reluctantly at the other boy who he found hard to reject.

It was a couple hours later when the librarian spoke up.

"Everyone, the library is closing so I'm afraid you need to leave."

"Eh? Then how will we finish our paper?" A student complained when his partner looked at him, pushing himself away from the computer in front of him.

"We have until Friday don't worry about it."

"Oh yeah… we can do it Friday and leave tomorrow as a break!"

Lidusis looked at Rood nervously.

"I-I can continue tonight by reading the books…You don't have to do anything."

"No way." Rood replied simply with rejection. Lidusis had no choice but to stay silent.

"Here, you can have some of the books. From my pile." The smaller boy gave him a pile of books while still carrying another large pile of books.

"You search in those tonight while I look through these. Tomorrow we will pile the information we found and give it to the professor after writing it down." Rood gave a smile to the quiet boy who nodded in return.

They left the library and continued to discuss their topic until they reached the dorms and parted.

'I wonder if we got closer?' Rood thought while he walked towards his room.

"Oh." Shicmuon spotted the smaller boy and 'oh'ed to the sight of his younger roommate.

'Tch, even meeting him on the way back to the room?' Rood had tried to avoid this person as much as he can while they were walking on the same path towards the room, silently, as if the duo were complete strangers. As they walked into their room, Rood turned to the taller boy.

"I'm going to do some research in this room so don't be noisy." He said while pointing at the door connected to their room, to Shic who seemed as if he was playing a game on his phone.

"K." The taller boy said, not caring enough to say a whole word. The smaller boy rolled his eyes in annoyance and walked to the room with the books in his arms.

After about 15 minutes, Shicmuon got bored,

'I'm tired.' He walked to the two beds, each on the other side of the room. One looked fluffy and warm, almost like a cloud. The other bed was thick and hard, incredibly uncomfortable looking practically a stone block. It was obvious which bed to sleep on.

Rood stretched as he finally finished his research, books strewn across the floor he was sitting on. He got up and walked to the bedrooms when he stopped in confusion.

'What the hell?! Why is he sleeping in my bed?!' The small boy stood there internally freaking out as he was frozen in spot. When he finally moved he walked to his bed.

"H-hey wake up….! This is my bed, your bed is over there!" He tried to push the older boy and was surprised when he did not budge. He struggled and added more strength but the other just wouldn't budge. Unbeknownst Rood, Shicmuon was lazily awake, pretending to sleep soundly. He was highly amused by the younger boy.

Rood scowled at the other boy. Stubbornly, he laid on the other side of the bed, refusing to let the older man win.

It was another cheerful day, the birds singing, the sun shining, and almost no clouds to be seen. The sun shone through the window on two certain boys that were sleeping.

Rood felt the urge to not wake up. His body was warm and comfortable and he was starting to be lulled back asleep. His eyes fluttered open slightly before snapping wide open as he realized exactly why he was so warm.

Shicmuon, sometime during the night had rolled over and wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. Rood in turn had also rolled towards the boy and snuggled into Shic.

A yelp escaped Rood's mouth as he pushed the older boy away from him with a sharp shove. Shic fell on the ground with a thud, the auburn-haired boy waking annoyed. He scowled at Rood after he sat up.

"What the fuck. I wasn't doing anything wrong. It was comfortable. You were warm too weren't you? You looked like you liked it too." The boy said his face now blank. Rood's face however was flushed bright red.

"Sh-shut up! What is with you…! I'm not a girl I am a guy! I don't enjoy that kinda things!" much to the flustered boy's annoyance, Shicmuon was not paying attention at all. He was holding a teddy bear that was under the bed.

"Whats with the teddy bear. There are guys that like girly things?" The taller boy ignored all the worlds that had been said and he observed the teddy bear carefully.

"I… I just carry him around for personal reasons, it isn't any of your business."

"Girly girl."

"You…!"

"Well I care. Why's it warm." Shic asked and the other boy let out a huff.

"To keep people warm, obviously. Classes are going to be ready in like 15 minutes so I don't have time to be messing with you."

Rood walked into class when he noticed the students crowding around the windows. As he walked closer he listened his classmates.

"That has to hurt…"

"If he wasn't a monster I might've pitied him."

At the mention of monster, the smaller boy pushed his way past the others and looked out the window. Ignoring the disgruntled student he pushed, Rood forced his way to the front of the crowd. Much to his dismay, Lidusis could be seen on the ground as a bunch of Klads were seen beating up the poor boy. The gray-haired boy had curled up into a ball, his hands covering his head to lessen the damage.

Rood grit his teeth angrily before calming down. He opened the window, much to the confusion of his other classmates. The slight breeze blew his hair back a bit as he stepped onto the ledge. He then jumped out of the 2nd floor window much to the shock of everyone around him.

He walked to the klads who watched him with confusion. The Idun on the grassy ground looked up at Rood worriedly, his eyes attempting to warn the smaller boy away. Rood smiled kindly at the Klads that glanced at each other.

"Hey kid-" One of them began to speak before he was interrupted by Rood.

"Hey, can you all fuck off?" The blond haired boy smiled brightly, an air of innocence that certainly did not match his words at all. Lidusis's mouth opened slightly in surprise at the boy's voice.

"Wh- You little shit!" One of the Klads started to stomp towards Rood when he was suddenly kicked. The other Klads looked in confusion at the sight of their friend laying on the ground, the one who was kicked being just as bewildered. They looked up at the attacker to see who it was that had caught their, usually aware friend, off guard. They hesitated before splitting up and running towards both Rood and the attacker.

Lidusis scooted away from the group of Klads once the attention was off him, but looked curiously to see who had arrived.

"Who?" Rood's furrowed his eyebrows confused as he smoothly dodged the fist that came towards his face.

"So annoying."

"You're…!"

"Hello roommate."

'Hello my ass!' Rood scowled at the sight of Shicmuon dodging blows with his hands in his pockets. He had to admit that he hadn't expected to see him there nor expect him to fight alongside him.

"Why are you helping me. I don't need it so go away." Irritation was clear in the smaller boy's voice as he looked at Shic while calmly dodging the fists. The Klads were getting increasingly more frustrated at being so blatantly ignored. Their attacks started to grow in force but became increasingly more slower the angrier they got.

"Don't misunderstand. I'm bored and feel like fighting." Once again, as Shicmuon fought, his hands never left his pockets much to the anger of his opponents. With a scoff, Rood rolled his eyes at the arrogance of his roommate.

"Yeah whatever. Just don't kill them.

Lidusis watched the fight in surprise, never having consider that the supposedly ill child and his roommate would come to his rescue. Despite being worried about the Hereis and Idun, the gray-haired boy couldn't help but have a warm feeling in his chest, a feeling of change that he thought would never come.

He moved to look at Rood when a small shine of light had caught his eye. He quickly grabbed it before his hand could be stepped on and he opened his hand. To his surprise, in his hand was a small earring.

"?"

The students continued to make a large fuss when Lin walked in. Confused, she walked over to her friend Camilla.

"What's going on? What's all this about?" She struggled to look past the students but was thoroughly blocked from the view of Rood and Shicmuon fighting the Klads.

"I'm… I'm not quite sure. There is an Idun fighting Klads and then a Hereis showed up a kicked one of the Klads and started fighting with the Idun!"

"An Idun!" Lin looked in the direction of the windows worriedly.

"Shouldn't someone call a professor?" The green-haired girl spoke softly as she looked back to her friend.

"Someone already went." Camilla smiled at their friend when they heard another classmate.

"I can see the professor!" A voice called out, loud enough for Rood to hear.

Rood looked up with dismay before quickly trying to leave. Unfortunately, Professor Khan had already appeared.

"What's going on here?! Mr. Chrishi, why are you here you're an ill student, why are you in a middle of a-" the teacher's eyes widened when he looked around "Are those students okay?! They look all beaten up! ….Can someone explain what has just happened?" Professor Khan hoped for a quick explanation that didn't include fighting or arguing as the student who got him had mentioned.
