he wasn't keeping track of how long he'd been on campus but this really had to be some sort of record for him. he had barely settled in, all of his things were strewn across his bed on the right side of the room, and he was already stripped down to nothing but a pair of tight black boxer briefs that hugged against the curve of his behind perfectly; and because his bed was already covered, he was sitting on his new roommates bed as he rifled through his luggage for a clean outfit to pull on. and he was still sitting there as his new roommate pushed the door open and joined him. so much for making a good first impression.
"shit, sorry," theo mumbled as he quickly rose to his feet and started frantically trying to unfold the clean clothes he had in his hands so he could make himself decent again. "it was-- uh, yeah-- i was late to my flight so instead of flying straight in i had to catch a connecting flight, which took about six hours," he began to ramble as he offered the other a sheepish smile, "and the guy next to me accidentally spilled his coke all over me so i was already sticky from that-- then the thirty minute cab ride i had to take from the airport into the city didn't have any air conditioning, and then i got roped into one of those walking tours once i got on campus..." by the time he had made it to his room he was a sweaty, tired mess but he thought he'd try and make a good first impression by at least freshen himself up a bit so he could look half-way presentable when he met the person he'd be living with here at dalton. but instead he was basically naked, his side of the room was a mess of his luggage, and theo had been sitting on their bed when they came in. he was already off to a great start. "oh, uh, i'm theodore by the way." he dropped the clothes he was trying to change into as he stepped forward and held a hand out to the other man. "but everyone just calls me theo. it's... nice to meet you."
