LONELY HEARTS BRIGADE ; @flightlessxcrow

     Ryoji didn’t have a date. There had been offers, yes, but as a believer in the significance of Valentine’s Day, he couldn’t just accept any old invitation. He believed that it had to be the right person that he went to such a ball with. And yet, he still found himself dressed up and wandering around Sunrise campus. He wore a completely black ensemble, save for the bright yellow tie around his neck. Even though he had a ticket into the dance, Ryoji still hadn’t gone inside, for no reason in particular. Maybe it was because of his tarot reading this morning that he was feeling so hesitant. 

Humming quietly to himself, the boy then spotted another male up ahead, his head down and feet dragging slightly. It was subtle, the way he carried himself as if he had a heart of glass and someone had threatened to shatter it only recently. And when the other looked up to check where he was going, Ryoji caught his gaze and saw what looked like an eternity of sadness captured within. Chocolate eyes that he could only assume were usually milky and sweet looking, instead looked dark and bitter, the kind of chocolate only a select few would pay attention to. 

“Evening!” He greeted, stopping in front of the freckled boy. Now stationary, he could fully appreciate the person in front of him. Ryoji’s lips pulled up into a friendly smile, hands buried in the pockets of his black pants. 

“You know the dance is the opposite way, right? I mean – I think anyways. It’s my first time on campus, but that’s what the signs said!” Ryoji said, chuckling happily as he rubbed the back of his neck.

He didn't want to go to the ball. He might have, at one point, but the entire concept of it now to him just left a sour taste in his mouth. He had never been popular, that was something he knew. He was never the one the girls were tripping over their feet to talk to, or eagerly hoping he had their eye on them... In fact most of the girls that spoke to him during his high school years were just trying to get more information from him about the guys on the team.

So it didn't come as a shock when he didn't have a date... He always went stag to those sort of events, and it had never really bothered him... But usually if he stayed home, or went dateless he at last had Tsukki for company... But that night, that night it was just him and he had no desire to stand in a ball room all alone watching his friends dancing without him.

But the empty room had been just as stifling, and Tadashi had felt claustrophobic just being in it's four walls... So that was how he found himself with his hands shoved in his pockets, wandering aimlessly through the campus to try and kill time until he was tired enough to just go to bed...

When a voice broke through his concentration he was caught off guard, especially when he realized it was directed at him.  Blushing awkwardly at the mistake that he was lost he quickly shook his head, averting his gaze from the other; who was dressed clearly as though he was heading to the event himself.

“Thanks but, I’m not going to the ball....” He explained with a small shrug of his shoulders.

  She’s out for a walk around the university, to get a map of it inside her head without walking around aimlessly for classes. She was given a map before, and as nice as it was, it just made her getting around school more difficult. When she walked around the interior of the school at least three times, she moves to the outdoors. Turning a corner where she nearly gets smacked in the face by a volleyball. She jumps, and breathes a sigh of relief when she’s able to avoid it just in time.

  “W-will you watch it!” her voice becomes more high pitched than what she’d like it to be - she should be more composed about this, honestly. At least she wasn’t hurt, however other students may have been if they didn’t have a reflex like hers. “You could have seriously hurt someone!” 

Tadashi had a habit of getting almost everywhere early. His mother had instilled in him from a young age that he shouldn’t ever be late to anything and had quickly turned into a need to be early...  So it hadn’t been a surprise that the gym had been locked when he had arrived for Volleyball practice nearly fifteen minutes early.

Tossing the volleyball he had brought with him between his hands as he waited, the server had turned, using the wall of the building as a target to practice his tosses against the brick. Though as the ball had returned to his hands, allowing the male time to serve once more, the voice of his roommate had broken through his concentration. Oikawa’s booming voice had startled him, unable to stop his hand from swinging as he stumbled, sending the ball flying way off where he’d aimed. Scrambling after the wayward ball as Tooru’s laugh echoed behind him, he winced seeing he had nearly hit a passing student.

Listening as the stranger scolded him in a way that reminded him of his elementary school teachers, the male felt a flush creeping up under his freckles across his cheeks. “I-I’m really sorry, it got away from me by accident. I didn’t hurt you did I?”

   Maturity was not a concept that often existed in Tooru’s decision-making skills, regardless of the situation. When he had learned of his new roommate, the setter was annoyed before the freckled loser had even arrived. Not only had his last roommate been the definition of lame, but he knew for a fact that rooming with anyone from Karasuno was some kind of undeserved-punishment. After all, nothing Tooru had ever done could warrant being haunted by a ghost of his past, like Karasuno, right?

A little while after the former number twelve had moved in, Tooru had enough. It wasn’t like Tadashi ever actually did anything annoying or invasive. If anything, he kept to himself and the two rarely spoke and made a habit of not interacting. It was a life of blissful ignorance. Tooru, however, wasn’t so good at letting things slide. Eventually, after enough days of being less than pleased with the situation, the brunette reached his boiling point. No longer would this living arrangement be peaceful, if he had anything to say about it. 

Constructing a blanket fort had taken some time, especially by himself. But he managed, as he always did, climbing into the fort for the rest of the afternoon on a day where he had only one class. If there had been anyone at Sunrise to ask what he was doing, he would have claimed he was studying for an upcoming paper for his astronomy class. The loud movies blaring from his laptop as he lounged inside were an indication of anything but studying, however they were space-themed and had to count in some small measure. Outside of the fort hung a sign telling Tadashi that he was unwelcome, in probably the most childish fashion he could think of. Anyone who knew him personally could tell it was a blatant reason that he wasn’t as serious about this one-sided rivalry as he claimed to be, since if Tooru wanted Tadashi to know he was hated, that fact would be made very clear. And not with heart-dotted I’s. 

Sliding out of the fort, having heard his roommate arrive back, the setter laid his gaze on the younger boy. Nose upturned and hand placed firmly on his hip, Tooru glared at him.  

“What are you looking at, loser?”

The sound of the movie blasting out of the fort had been more than enough to let Tadashi know that his roommate was indeed home... And inside the expansive fort that covered his entire half of the room. He felt like they were ten years old again, and the servers fought back the sigh of exasperation that wanted to fall of his lips.

As he let his bag slide off his shoulder to rest beside his own bed, the brunette had planned to simply gather his things and leave for Kei’s room, having no intention of spending time in a room where he was clearly not wanted in any way... Though he was stopped as he saw the older male emerging from his ‘domain’

What are you looking at, loser?

It was almost laughable, just how much Tooru sounded like the bullies of his childhood. It would have had more of an impact if Tadashi wasn’t just completely in awe of the fact that this man was in his twenties and yet he was acting like he hadn’t even graduated middle school yet.

Just taking a breath, the younger turned to stare at the face set in a look that mimicked what someone might make if something foul was lingering under their nose. 

“Nothing, just a little surprised to see you didn’t take my sheets too” He said simply, doing his best to play as though the entire situation didn’t bother him at all, despite how his chest was burning at the idea of living in this room for the rest of the year.

Kei found comfort in having his best friend in his room. It was practically like how it was during their high school days. Him always hanging out in his room after practice. Kei was just browsing the internet, reading articles here and there no real topic in mind. He just wanted something to do to pass the time before dinner.

Hearing Tadashi speak, Kei turns towards him to see him laying upside down on his bed.  He sighs.“Then go see the city. I’m perfectly find staying in my room for the rest of the night. I rather not move from my spot, thank you very much” he states before he turns around to face his laptop once again. “Maybe Hinata would want to see it with you or something” he says as he clicks on a new article to read. 

Kei was is no mood to leave campus. He was rather lazy at the moment and would rather stay in his room like they usually do until dinner. He didn’t understand why Tadashi wanted to break their routine.

He should have expected such an answer from the blond. Kei was a creature of habit after all, so suggesting to do something so out of his comfort zone was of course met with refusal.  Letting out a low sigh, Tadashi slowly rolled over onto his stomach as he sat himself up properly on the bed, just staring at the other’s back as he busied himself once more with the computer screen in front of himself.

Letting a frown pull at his features, the freckled male just studied the turned form of his best friend. He had known the other for years and yet there were days when Kei was still like an enigma before him, a puzzle with just a few pieces still scattered in front of himself that he needed to find just the right way to make them fit.

“I don’t want to go see it with Hinata!” He grumbled, wrinkling his nose at the suggestion; knowing it was almost an insult coming from him. “Oh come on, it won’t be that bad! We can even get dinner while we’re out....”He offered, hoping to entice the other to want to leave the room, wracking his brain for any ‘Tsukki-isms’ that might help him lure Kei from his chair.

“Hey I bet while we’re out we could find a nice cafe or something that sells Strawberry Shortcake, my treat? Dinner too!” He offered, flashing the other an innocent grin as he hoped his ploy worked.

[[ Killing Time]] - Closed for Hinata

@sxnshinechvld

If he was being entirely honest, he would admit that he had been spending more time in Tsukki’s room, than in his own. It was a comfort, being around the blond made it feel like not all that much had really changed since high school...  On top of the fact that he didn’t really feel all that welcome in his own room. Despite their quiet avoidance of each other, Tadashi wasn’t entirely ignorant to the looks and the overall aura of disapproval that all but radiated from his older roommate.

Kei had left an hour before, he had a three hour class but he’d given the other permission to stay in his room in his absence. Laying across the bed; Tadashi had his books spread open on his lap, Kei’s extra set of headphones clamped over his ears as he worked on his homework, content to spend the three hours in the room without the other until he came back.

When the door to the room suddenly opened, Tadashi had looked up in confusion from his notes. Kei wasn’t due back for another two hours, though he supposed classes might have been canceled... It was only when a familiar shock of orange hair came through the doorway that he remembered that Tsukki didn’t have this room to himself. 

Tugging the headphones from his ears, the taller male sat up on the bed, closing the notes in his lap. Giving his former classmate a sheepish look he hoped he wasn’t intruding by being in the room without Kei.

“Tsukki said I could hang out here while he was in class, I hope that’s ok? I can leave if you wanted the room to yourself” He offered. He had always gotten along fine with Hinata unlike his friend, but it was still the other’s room and he knew he should offer to leave in case it was wanted.

[[Tsukki Please]] - Closed for Tsukki

@notyouraverageblocker

Tadashi was sure that he had spent more time in Kei’s room than his own since starting at Sunrise University. He wasn’t quite sure if it was because he felt a little... Antagonized by the other’s presence, or because he just wanted to spend more time with his friend like they had before they moved... Whatever it was that caused it, he found himself once more laying on the blond’s bed, aimlessly scrolling through his phone while his friend sat at the desk on his laptop.

They hadn’t said anything in the last hour, but Tadashi still felt the usual comfort he felt in the blond’s presence. 

“Tsukki” The shorter male called out, turning his phone off as he tossed it to the side on the bed, bored with looking through the same site for the umpteenth time.

“Tsukki, I’m bored. I want to go check out the city!” He all but whined, rolling onto his back so his head hung off the side of the bed, staring up at the other’s upside down form on the chair. “We’ve been here weeks and we’ve barely seen what is off the campus yet”

[[No Birds Allowed]] - Closed for Oikawa

@toorucikawa

When Tadashi had seen the name beside his on the door of their dorms, he had thought it was a joke. Some elaborate prank that was being pulled on him by some of the guys from his old high school, yet there had been no way to deny it when he had walked in to see the former Grand King himself sitting on the bed opposite the one that would be his own, with a look that looked anything but pleased.

Tooru wasn’t antagonistic, no, if anything the two just sort of went their own ways. They hadn’t said much and Tadashi wasn’t sure if it was because of his fear, Tooru’s indifference... Or both.

So he was genuinely surprised when he came home from class to find the entire other half the room was taken over by a rather elaborate blanket fort.

Letting chocolate eyes just take in the fort he was taken aback, he didn’t think he had seen anyone build a fort like that since he was 8 and him and Tsukki had built a “blanket cave” to play Dinosaurs in. Though his gaze fell to focus on the hand written sign that was scrawled with little hearts over the ‘i’s.

“No Birds Allowed”

... So much for indifference.

[[ Wrong Room]] - Closed for Kuroo

@blocknya

If there was one thing Tadashi regretted, it was listening to his mother when she insisted that he should leave his room assignments up to chance, and not to just request rooming with his best (and only) friend. They got lucky they were at least somewhat nearby but it was stressful enough having to be in a new place, a new city, a new school... Having Tsukki in the same dorm would have made at least that a little less to worry about.

It was too late now, he had his room, and Kei had his, and he had to make peace with it. Letting out a small sigh, the pinch server made his way through the halls towards where his friend was rooming. He was bored, and he had already studied enough to give himself a headache and all he wanted was to kill some time with the blond before he sequestered himself back to his books (as best he could anyways with the music Tooru insisted on blasting while doing his ‘homework’)

Stopping at the door he thought was his friend’s he lifted his hand, knocking gently a few times on the wood as he waited, completely oblivious to the fact that he was in fact not at the right room at all, and had gone one room to far... 

Something he only realized when the room opened, leaving him staring up at a far too familiar face.

“O-Oh, sorry! I thought this was Tsukki’s room...”
