Roomies!

[captureherheart]

I, uhh . . . have a roommate.  Finally.

. . . I didn't think, umm, 'Colette' was a gender-ambiguous name.  D-Did they put me with a girl?  Is this normal?  It's probably a mistake, right?  I mean, I didn't have a room for like two weeks after I first moved in 'cause they apparently forgot that I'd popped in.  Maybe I just have bad luck with these

[it's taking her some time for this to all sink in, but...]

Oh, so you're my new roommate! [well this is a surprise! And... kinda embarrassing/awkward. Colette fully expected to be rooming with a girl! But if that's the way things work here, she'll just accept it. He sounds very nice anyway.]

It's very nice to meet you! I'm sure we'll become good friends!... Um, I'm sorry. What's your name?

Y-Yeah, but that's --

Maguri . . . The guy who kept staring at Ren while I was talking to him, wasn't it? He jumped right in as soon as I edged away.

That's, umm. Different. You're adults. Almost.

You got a room mate? That's great! Syaoran-kun, I'm so so happy for you!

[captureherheart]

What? Why?

I mean . . . She seems pretty nice, yeah. It's still a bit weird, though.

[protectoroflove]

Well... Because you won't be alone anymore, of course!

...? Hoe? Weird? How is it weird?

[captureherheart]

Because she's a girl! . . . I mean, I stayed with you cause I didn't have a room and I didn't really mind, but this is different.

[twilightsmile]

Ah, Colette's back? I really missed her! A-Anyway, she'll be a really fun roommate. Don't worry too much about it, okay?

... Though, uh. I haven't heard about guys rooming with girls before. Is this new?

[captureherheart]

Yeah, see, I'm not too worried about 'fun' or 'cool' or 'friendly' or anything like that more than I am worried about the part where she has an extra letter on her pronouns.

[twilightsmile]

... She does tend to be pretty nervous, but that's just the kind of person she is. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[captureherheart]

What?

No, I mean she's a 'she', and not a 'he'. She's a girl. I'm a guy. Does no one else understand how terribly inappropriate this is.

[catslooklikeme]

Man, this place is so set in everyone getting a roommate before me that they're ignoring gender rules?

Be nice to her, ya hear?

[captureherheart]

Yeah, who wants to bet you're gonna end up with that Luna girl you keep talking about?

[catslooklikeme]

Oh geez, don't say that. I'd love to see Luna again, but knowing her, she'd spend a large amount of time freaking out. "I can't believe I got pulled into another world! Mom and Dad must be so worried! How thoughtless of me!"

[captureherheart]

. . . Uhh. Yeah, well, she'll forget about her parents. I've only remembered my mom so far.
