thick   scent   of   heavy   incense   hangs   in   the   air ,  plumes   of   sweet   smoke   curling   playfully   ‘round   ears ,  tickling   nose ;  a   soft ,  (  notably   foreign  )   tune   slips   joyfully   from   pleasantly   curled   lips ,  delicate   fingers   securing   the   last   of   a   perhaps   absurd   number   of   decor   to   the   wall .  pleased   with   the   work   accomplished ,  howell   makes   to   step   down   from   perch   taken   atop   one   of   the   two   school   issued   desks ━━

the   door   swings   inward   just   as   he’s   sinking   into   a   crouch ;  a   blink   of   surprise ,  brilliant   ceruleans   sweep   over   newcomer :  a   pretty   young   man   approximately   his   own   age .  howell’s   features   pinch   momentarily ,  soured   by   a   rush   of   jealousy ;  A   NATURAL   BLONDE ?  SERIOUSLY ?  the   gods   are   so   cruel .  a   warm   smile   quickly   overtakes   expression ,  feet   smoothly   finding   the   floor .  he   strides   forward ,  offers   a   heavily   ring   adorned   hand ,     ❛  ah !  hello   there !  come in ,  come   in ! !  you’re   the   roommate ,  yes ?  mine ,  that   is .  i’ve   looked   forward   to   meeting   you !  what’s   your   name ?  ah ━  rude   of   me !  i’m   howell   jenkins ,  by   the   way .  ❜

the first thing ryouta noticed as he walked through the door was the strong scent of what seemed some sort of incence wafting at him. not that he minded it much, but he hoped his roommate wouldn’t light it at night. he needed his rest, after all.

as golden eyes focused onto the figure inside of the room, he bowed politely towards the stranger, mentally switching over to talk english after being on the phone with daiki to guide him through to his own place.

“ ryouta kise, nice to meet you too ! “ he said with a charming smile, his accent only slightly hinting he wasn’t a native speaker. luckily he’s had enough time to study, it definitely helped most of his photographers spoke english to him as well so he’s had enough practice.
