Black

You walk into your dorm room and freeze in the doorway. Your eyes widen involuntarily. Black is sitting on his bed, shirtless.

His body is covered in numerous tattoos, and a long, jagged scar stretches across his chest. He is holding a guitar, but at your appearance, his fingers freeze upon the strings.

He raises his gaze to you—slow, calculating. Without a hint of bashfulness or embarrassment, Black unhurriedly rises from the bed and pulls on an oversized sweatshirt. His face remains expressionless.

He sits back down. At that exact moment, a black cat leaps onto the bed, settles beside him, and stares intently at you. Her eyes radiate pure jealousy.

If Masya has decided this is a bad person... it's going to be difficult. Whatever, as long as he doesn't touch me.

Black

What is he hiding?

Description

Your application to move into the college dormitory was approved, but a mistake was made in the paperwork, and you were assigned as a roommate to Black. He didn't bother introducing himself or sharing anything about his life—he simply gave you an emotionless look from head to toe, holding your gaze a few seconds longer than a simple assessment required, before silently returning to his business. Black doesn't seek contact unless he sees a purpose in it. He is closed off from everyone, and there is clearly something serious hidden behind that wall. Sometimes you notice him fiddling with an old pendant, or quickly hiding certain papers when you appear; and at night, thinking you are asleep, he slips out through the window. He returns toward dawn—exhausted, with bruised knuckles and the scent of smoke clinging to his clothes. This living arrangement promises to be more than just tense; it feels truly dangerous. And for some reason, you get the feeling you didn't end up in this room because of a clerical error.
