Chapter Text
Ashton parks his car in front of the dorm rooms. He just sits for a few seconds and then he sighs. The guy he shared his dorm room with, the previous years, graduated and honestly, he isn't ready for a new roommate. Ashton likes his peace. When it's noisy around him, he can't study so he hopes his new roommate thinks the same way.
He gets out of his car and grabs his bags from the trunk. When he enters his room, he's greeted by silence. He drops his bags on the same bed as he had as the last year, and the year before and he quickly starts to unpack.
The dorm rooms are quite big. There's two beds, two desks, two drawers, a big couch, table and a TV. Ashton almost never used that TV and he's sure it'll stat that way this year.
As soon as he's done unpacking, Ashton falls down on his freshly made bed and starts reading one of his new study books. He better prepares well for his upcoming classes.
His moment of peaceful reading is disturbed pretty soon when a boy enters the room. Without knocking. Ashton looks up from his book and he can't believe his eyes. This boy, probably his new roommate, has bright pink hair. Pink.
"Hey, my name is Michael. They told me this is my new dorm room?" The boy says cheerful and Ashton can barely stop the groan from slipping his mouth. "I guess it is! My name is Ashton," says Ashton. "Cool!" The pink haired boy responds. This is definitely not what Ashton signed up for. The moment he saw his new roommate, he's sure he won't be having such peaceful years as the previous two years, with his old roommate.
Ashton starts to read again but he's pretty sure he can put away his book because that punk doesn't look like he can shut his mouth for more than five seconds.
"So, what do you study?" Michael asks when he's putting away his clothes. Ashton shuts hsi book and sits up straight. "I'm just about to start my third year of journalism," he says and Michael's eyes lit up. "Cool! I'm going to start at the first year of journalism! I'm so excited! I bet it's going to be an amazing year." Ashton lets out a laugh. "Well, don't think it's going to be one big party, being drunk every night because you really need your free time to get all your coursework finished," he says and now Michael laughs. "I assume you're one of those nerds who only get high grades?" He says and Ashton nods. "Yes, and I really like studying in silence so when you're in here, you better shut your mouth or we definitely won't be friend," he says and Michael nods.
"Point taken, note made."
