Viktor was aware he'd be getting a roommate, the academy is full, after all. But he wasn't aware his roommate would be arriving today. He was sitting slumped over on his bed, only in an oversized t-shirt and a pair of baggy boxers, with a book perched in his lap and a joint pinched between his finger and his thumb. His cat lay by his side, purring quietly and nuzzling against Viktor's pale, bony leg, and in between flipping the pages of his book he'd reach out to scratch the cuddly creature under its chin.

His peace, sacred, much needed peace, came to an end- and far too soon. The door to the dorm unlocked, and another person walked in. Viktor looked up from his book at the other person, his eyes scanning them over for a moment. He stayed quiet for the time being, a little shocked, a little upset that his alone time came to an abrupt halt, and a little curious to see how this person would react to him.
