DRRR and Friends 2: Electric Boogaloo

Character(s): Rion, Shinra and Celty
Location: Dorm A211
Rating: PG? Maybe PG-13?
Open/Closed/Finished: Open-ish? The door'll be open at the beginning, if someone wants to poke in.
Summary: Rion's met his roommate, but he hasn't really 'talked' to him. ... or met his fiance.

Rion had ... a day. For the young SeeD cadet, this usually involved paying attention in classes, feeling awkwardly out of place, blushing a lot, and occasionally asking someone to talk for him so he could answer a question. Rion didn't mind the classes part, the learning part - those parts of being a SeeD were awesome. It was the "dealing with other people who were as smart or smarter than he was and bigger than he was and generally better" that was the problem.

But at least he'd gotten back to his dorm okay. Part of him wanted to call his mom or something like that, but he knew that wasn't... really possible, and asking someone like the Commander or the Headmaster to do that would make him look even more like a kid. So instead, he just laid out on his bed, reading over one of the class readings for tomorrow (the Garden Code, which was about as interesting as one could expect). At least his door was open, if anyone wanted to say hello. (Rion wouldn't understand why, though. He wasn't very interesting.)

After taking a tour of the Garden, Shinra and Celty eventually find their way back to his room. He's not quite ready to part ways with her yet, so he convinced her to come check out his room with him. They had never lived apart before, so it was a pretty big adjustment for both of them.

Upon arriving, he noticed that his roommate's door was open and that someone appeared to be inside.

"Oh, Celty. It looks like my roommate is here. Shall we go meet him?" he invited, curious as to what kind of person he'd be sharing a space with for the next few months he studied here.

Celty did not hold his hand as they made their way to his dorm room, but she did stand quite close to him, looking around the male dorm with curiosity. She wondered how similar the female dorms were.

She crossed the threshold with him and made it into his dorm room, finding it to be quite smaller than their apartment. She looked up and over to the occupied room, tilting her body to the side some as she tried to see just who was in there, nodding to Shinra's request.

"Hello there~" Shinra greeted melodically as he skipped over to where Rion's door frame was, peering in. "I hope we're not disturbing anything! But I, evidently, am your new roommate~! I'm Shinra Kishitani, and this is the lovely Celty Sturluson! I hope you don't mind if I have guests over somewhat often."

And by 'guests', Shinra meant 'Celty', but what were a few semantics among friends?

Celty followed behind him at a much slower pace, not skipping or exuding any real excitement towards meeting Rion, but this was not her true feeling. She may not have been excited, but she was indeed interested in who would be sharing a room with Shinra since they would likely encounter each other often.

She reached his door frame and waited until Shinra moved to the side to bow towards him, saying nothing with her cat-eared helmet securely sitting on her neck.

Celty blinked, looking at the whiteboard and wondering for a moment if he was mocking her before remembering this was their first meeting and there was no possible way he could know.She tilted her neck to the side and flipped her phone from her cuff, typing quickly into it before flashing the screen at Rion, curiously. She had never before pondered if people could read he messages, but was sure it was not a very easy task due to the number of people who would have to lean in and look. Though, she kept her messages pretty short normally.

"I'm Celty. Nice to meet you."

"She says it's nice to meet you," Shinra translated for Celty without glancing at the phone's screen. He studied the screen for a moment, then lifted his gaze to Rion's neck region. Hm, no visible defects. Was it a psychological issue? Or a rare birth defect? Or perhaps he was deaf! Mulling over all the possibilities, Shinra tugged Celty gently by the arm to move a little closer so that Rion wouldn't have to write so big anymore.

"What kind of condition do you have?" Shinra went on to ask, unable to hold himself back. He was positively glowing as he moved over to Rion's bedside and borrowed Rion's desk chair for Celty to sit down on, remaining standing himself.

Celty barely reacted as she was moved along by Shinra's nimble hands. However, Celty's shoulders shot up when Shinra began probing his new roommate in a rather cold, well, scientific manner. Same thing in her opinion. She moved her hand out and touched Shinra's shoulder gently, trying to pull him back some and make him heel, attempting to calm his fanboy-ish tendencies toward physical abnormalities.

'Shinra!' She mentally scolded him.

"I thought so. But do you know the underlying cause?" Shinra went on to press, though he drew back a little at Celty's prompting. He glanced over his shoulder to give her a placating, apologetic smile. But he couldn't help his curiosity. The two of them would be sharing a space from now on, so Shinra wanted to know all there was to know.

Celty sensed a sudden and definite tension filling the room, as if a heavy weight was pressing down on them all. Feeling the awkward silece turn for the worse, she suddenly took Shinra by the hand, sighing to herself inwardly as she pulled him out of the boy's room, stopping in the doorway after she had pushed Shinra out. Standing in the threshold of Rion's door, she put both of her hands in front of her and bowed deeply before turning from him, reclaiming Shinra's hand and taking him out of his dorm room and into the hall, clicking the door shut behind her.
