VII
After a few weeks, my class schedule was routine and my room was completely finished. I was finally comfortable and settled down.
Well, there was one thing I still hadn't sorted out.
Rin.
I definitely wanted him. I suppose wanting him doesn't come to a surprise. He's thoughtful, a better chef than I'll ever be, selfless and the definition of sexy. I did want to go out with him. Yet, with how he looks and how he is, I doubt he'd be interested in a guy. Well, maybe a guy, but not a guy like me.
I didn't have class on Thursday, so I decided to clean the dorm. I gave the kitchen a deep clean before hauling the vacuum out of a small closet in the hallway. I put my earbuds in and began dancing throughout the place, vacuuming in the process.
Time slowly slipped through my fingers, and soon, the sink was empty, the cabinets were full of clean dishes, and I was passed out on the couch. I jumped awake to the sound of keys sliding into the door's lock. Rin stepped into the dorm, and looked around. He seemed to be in awe, though I can't read his face very well.
"This is... really clean. Thank you." Rin said, turning his attention to me.
"Oh--Yeah, no problem." I replied, perching on the edge of the couch. Rin swiped his coat off and set it in the closet, along with his shoes. He reached up and lightly touched the ceiling, arching his back to stretch. The air on my side of the room quickly began to heat up as I looked at my shirt, picking up a scarlet hair and tossing it away.
"Were your classes any good today?" I asked and raised my eyebrows to Rin, who had sat on the other side of the couch.
"I'd say so. Yours?"
"Oh, I didn't have class today." I said, twirling my hands a little. I'm one of those people. My body language is stronger than my own voice sometimes. Rin mouthed an 'Oh,' and nodded.
"What about yesterday?"
"Yesterday was pretty good. The math teacher's nice."
"Mr. Jenkins? He's cool. A few years ago, he helped organize a pride festival on campus." Rin noted. I perked up a little.
"A pride festival? Here?"
"Mm-hm. It was fun. Mr. Jenkins does a lot for the LGBTQ+ community at Juniper."
Wait, was I hearing this correctly? Rin went to pride? Was he actually gay? Bi? Pan? Was he a supporter? Did Rin consider himself a 'he' at all? I felt my heart skip a beat as I tried to sound casual.
"You went?" I asked. It sounded a little strained. Rin put a hand on the back of his neck and smiled a little awkwardly at me. I would kill for that awkward smile.
"I didn't tell you?" Oh my god...this wasn't happening. I wanted to grab him by the shoulders and scream, 'Are you interested in men!?' This felt like a real life cliffhanger, where I was being teased to wait until the next episode came out. Except in this show, it really is a matter of coming out.
"Tell me what?"
"Oh, pffsh...I'm gay."
A/N Hello! Big part today...what do you guys think about Rin? Do you think he likes Andren?
