When Logan entered his dorm room, his eyes instantly landed on the boy he would be sharing a room with. His side of the room was already decorated, with dark coloured bedding, walls covered with posters from various bands, the single shelf above the bed holding a few books - mostly biography's - and sitting on his bedside table was his phone, wallet, keys and headphones. He was asleep, so Logan silently placed his suitcase on his bed, shushing his dad before he walked in with the boxes.

"Aw" his dad, Patton, cooed at the boy who was dressed in 'edgy' clothing, tips of his bangs dyed purple. "He looks cute" he winked at Logan who rolled his eyes and sighed. Ever since he came out to his dad as homoromantic (asexual and gay) Patton always pointed out a cute boy whenever he spotted one, even going so far as to send pictures of the people who obviously don't know they're having their photos taken. After Logan told him it was a bit creepy, a few days later Logan was sent a picture of Patton and the cute boy smiling at the camera.

He couldn't escape.

"I am fine single, Patton" Logan murmured quietly, and the two worked in silence, setting up Logan's room the way he wanted it, down to the exact placements of every object. In the end, Patton left him to it, gazing out at campus from the window between both boys' side of the room.

"I'm gonna miss you" Patton blubbered once they left and stood in the hallway. Logan sighed but smiled fondly, allowing his father to hug him tightly and quietly cry onto his shoulder. "Please stay safe for me, and text me if you need anything, promise?" Logan nodded, holding onto his fathers forearms. "I promise" Patton nodded and smiled, wiping at his eyes while giggling softly. "I'm a mess" he whispered, the two sharing a few more hugs before Patton finally left, and Logan could start exploring which buildings his classes would be in.

Finding the map on his bedside table, he couldn't help but glance over at his roommate he didn't even know the name of yet. He was still fast asleep, body curled up tightly into a ball, weirdly sleeping on top of the blanket. Logan assumed because of that he didn't mean to sleep for so long. Giving him one last lingering look, Logan opened the door, stepped out, and closed it after him.

A few hours later and he returned to find his roommate up and awake, sitting on his bed with one leg drawn up, the other stretched out. He was tapping away on his phone screen, faint music floating out past his headphones. Logan didn't stare for too long; he moved towards his side of the room and started organising his folders ready for his lessons that would start in a few days.

His roommate glanced over, slowly tugging his headphones around his neck and pausing the music. "Sup"

The sudden voice startled Logan a little who perked his head up, curtly nodding his head. "Salutations. I am Logan" he introduced, standing up to shake his hand. "Virgil" he reached out and shook it strongly, "friends call me Virge" he added, and Logan nodded, keeping that in mind. "Well, it is nice to meet you, Virgil. I assume you arrived early in the day?" Virgil nodded and returned to his phone.

"Yeah, first bus I could catch" Logan nodded, Virgil wondering if he would comment on why his parents didn't drop him off, but it was a nice relief when Logan didn't even raise an eyebrow in curiosity. After the room fell back to silence, Virgil sat up and leaned forward on his bed towards Logan who was sitting at his desk.
