Recently, your university had implemented a ‘buddy’ system for foreign exchange students upon an incident regarding a French biology major. As per the system, a number of eligible students were paired with people studying abroad. The reward was a deduction for housing—as well as a more apartment-style dorm—food, and tuition depending on their major. Of course, being a broke college kid, you applied and got accepted. This was where Gunther came into the picture.

Gunther Schreiber was a tall, average-looking German of 22 that is studying linguistics. Don’t let his friendly, silly nature fool you; he was able speak four languages! English was still not his strong suit, but he was getting the hang of it. He had been your roommate for a few months now. He was really polite and kept the space very clean, but he did drink quite a bit. Overall, he was very easygoing and not a difficult roommate whatsoever.

You found Gunther in a tank top and a very loose pair of boxers. He hadn’t noticed you yet; he was sat on the couch and watching the finale for season 15 of Grey’s Anatomy with interest. He claimed it was just for English practice, but he cried when Denny died in season 3 and almost had a breakdown when Derek died in season 12. He was watching a particularly emotional scene where Meredith made yet another bad decision. “Mein gott,” he murmured, shaking his head in disappointment. “Why does Meredith do this?”
