A/N: Today is 2 for 1 and hopefully the rest of the week will get more than that. As always subscribe and fav for more.

6: December 16th 3:55 P.M. Sakugawa Middle School. Student Lockers.

"Saten, Misaka and Sharai are coming in a bit, are you almost ready?"

"Just give me a minute."

Where is it, the last thing I wanted to forget before Sharai moved in with me tonight and I had to misplace it. Knowing her she would want me to do something to remind her of Misaka as I could tell shed be a little lonesome without her.

"Well I'll look for it tomorrow."

As I closed my locker there it fell. A Gekota shirt that Misaka had given me 6 months ago I kept it here to spare her feelings but remembered it as we made arrangements. I grabbed it slipped into my normal shoes and got my jacket on. Uiharu's poinsettias stood out in the cold as I put on my earmuffs.

"Saten what took you?"

"I just had to get something for Sharai ready."

"It's not fancy undergarments is it?"

"No of course not."

That peeved me off a little bit. As much as I wanted to pour snow down her jacket, since the skirt flip was not happening I let that slide as we headed for the gate. We knew that Sharai and Misaka were coming our way right around the time we got out of school so it would be a good 5-10 minutes of waiting, and that allowed us to start thinking about them living with us.

"How bad is Sharai to deal with one on one? Just give me a little preview."

"Saten she's not that bad, even when I'm guiding her into the field Sharai always knows how to get things done."

That made me feel a little bit at ease.

"Although when it comes to someone who can teleport, you'd best be prepared for getting dropped off in the weirdest of places."

With that we ended up getting into another 7 minutes of going over the minute details of what to expect as we would end up spending time with them.

"Now the fashion shows that Sharai mentioned what woul…" Before I could get them out I could feel a hand on my face and since Sharai was known to pull up out of nowhere it was obvious who it was.

"Ruiko my dear friend, if were really going to be living together for the next 17 days you may want to keep that mouth of yours closed a little bit tighter."

Next to Uiharu I saw Misaka laughing nervously about the encounter and that led Uiharu to bring up the elephant in the room.

"How long have you guys been standing there?"

"Only 3 minutes, 2 minutes earlier we landed on the roof of your school and saw you guys talking so Kuroko held off on bringing us in."

With that Sharai needed to be shaken off so I stymied my way to a snowbank and with one quick use of Uiharu's hands she fell backwards into the bank. As she slowly recovered any footing while shaking all matters of the wet stuff out of her crevices we started walking ourselves. 20 minutes later we came near to the dinner and that's when we did notice that Misaka was the only one with a bag.

"Misaka I see you have a bag but where's Sharais stuff?"

"Actually I sent my stuff over to your place before we left this morning."

"Oh really?" How could she even get into my apartment without… Teleporter…. But no from Tokiwadai to my place is still too far.

"Sorry about that Saten."

"Wait Misaka, why do you have to apologize?"

With that she pulled out her phone and explained the situation with Sharai's stuff and I allowed the lapse to slide.

We ended up having a good meal and I swear there was literally no way Uiharu could stuff that much ice cream but it was impressive.

"How are you not getting brain freeze right now?" The three of us just asked her so callously still shocked and somewhat impressed.

"Well the thermal hands does help warm it up a bit so the cold never bothered me anyway."

And thus the "Let it Go" jokes began.

Within 10 minutes of us leaving the dinner we came to our split point. As the two of us let them have a moment alone we pondered our plans for the next few days. Minus Hobbit we wouldn't be seeing much of each other until Christmas Eve. It seemed that my reminder of Christmas Eve gave a look of shock on Uiharu.

"Oh crud."

"What is it?"

"Konori wanted to have a gift exchange between the 5 of us at the 177th."

"A Gift exchange?"

"Besides telling us where we'd be bell ringing she wanted to do a get together for a sleepover at her place on Christmas Eve."

"Well I'm on board."

"Me too but the question is…"

Well the tears of my about to be roommate gave that question an answer right away. As I pulled Sharai away from Misaka, who looked like she wouldn't have been released for any reason. We said goodbye and went on our way. The 20 minute walk to my place was spent very uncomfortably between us. 10 minutes of silence, 3 or whimpering, and 6 of more silence. It was when we saw my building that Sharai finally spoke.

"Well Saten shall we get this started?"

Her hand grabbed my shoulder and suddenly we stood outside my door.

"Hey, warn me when you're doing that."

Of course that once again made her whimper so I calmed her down while opening the door. Of course her stuff stood out like a sore thumb and while putting her bag on the futon I set up before class this morning. I looked at her while she looked at my stuff.

"Well was there anything else I can do to make the futon of mine more comfy?"

"Yes, do you have lace sheets?"

"No?"

"Then I know where were doing right away tomorrow morning."

As Sharai began placing her stuff in empty drawers my one lone thought about this next fortnight.

"And so begins this long, lone upward climb."
