The Chi Beta Gamma frat house is smaller than Peter had expected, but has a peculiar layout. In addition to the main house with most of the dorm rooms and communal areas, it has a separate, smaller two-story building in the back by the pool. It's two stories tall, only big enough for the ground floor to be a small office with a bookshelf and two desks and the first floor to be a bedroom with two single beds and a minuscule bathroom with barely enough room for the toilet and shower stall. The trade-off between privacy and space means that it's not the universally preferred option, but it's still got enough people wanting to move into it that he was lucky to get it.

His roommate is also a freshman, and (porn-inspired dreams of freaky fratboy action notwithstanding) Peter just hopes he'll be alright to live with. Peter can deal with snoring and even a certain level of mess but he'd probably rather walk to the main building and use the communal bathrooms there than deal with someone who leaves their bathroom disgusting. 

Anyway, he leaves his laptop on one of the desks then goes upstairs to drop his luggage bag and check the room out.

It is, as announced, tiny. The total square footage of the combined two floors is greater than a regular dorm room's would be but the disjointness and the amount of it dedicated to the stairs makes the amount of useful space much smaller. There is no sign of Peter's future roommate yet.

Huh. It's a Sunday and classes start tomorrow, Peter honestly would've expected to be the last one to arrive. Well, whatever, he'll—

Just then he hears the door opening and closing downstairs.

Permalink

—meet his new roommate!

Permalink

Said roommate might spark some hope in Peter for his fratboy action dreams: he's handsome and fit, carrying himself with easy cocky confidence, and when he notices Peter's already upstairs he grins a handsome lopsided grin. "Hullo, there."

Permalink

Oh hell to the yes he's almost certainly not into guys, most guys aren't—

Permalink

—wait, aren't they? Why'd Peter have this thought? It's like a solid fifty percent of people are into guys, isn't it?

Permalink

Anyway!

"Hi! I assume you're my new roommate? I'm Peter."

"Su Doyoon. The pleasure's all yours, I'm sure." He also has a luggage bag to leave by the bed Peter didn't claim.

Is that the game they're playing. Peter gives him a very obvious once-over. "You're not wrong about that."

Permalink

"I can see that I'm not." He starts exploring their cubicle. "What's your major?"

Permalink

"Compsci. Yours?"

Permalink

"Bio! You also a freshman?" He pops into the bathroom to inspect it, too.

Permalink

"Yeah. Bio's cool, why bio?"

Permalink

"Wanna be an athlete. Hey, are you messy? I don't like messes."

Permalink

"—I'm not, and I'm glad you don't! What's bio got to do with being an athlete?"

Permalink

"It's the degree you major in to be an athlete," he replies, shrugging as he steps out of the bathroom.

Permalink

"...it is?"

Permalink

Peter supposes he can't really contradict Doyoon, per se, since it's not like he has an alternative suggestion. "Well, uh, what kind of athlete?"

Permalink

"Dunno yet."

Permalink

"Yeah, fair enough, I guess."

Permalink

He smiles at Peter.

Permalink

...gosh, he's pretty. Peter's going to be tempted. But it's probably a bad idea to hook up with your roommate in practice, right? For some reason?

Permalink

Who knows. Not Doyoon.
