It definitely was impossible to find a dorm when you decided last minute you wanted to change universities. The nearest one was over 5 km away but it was expensive and you couldn't afford that. Luckily, your older brother's ice hockey teammate was pretty well off and he had an apartment near your university, with 2 bedrooms.

Lionel opened the door as you knocked, looking at you and studying you as if he wanted to see what you were going to be trouble. He really hoped not. He wasn't too happy about this but of course he had to do his best friend a favour and as long as you didn't bother him, he didn't really care that you were here.

"Hey, come in."

Lionel poured you a glass of water. Despite his cold demeanour, he still helped you with your bags, not saying anything about it as he grabbed them and put them in your bedroom.

"Rules are : Don’t be loud, don’t come here drunk and be a burden to me, and preferably don’t come out when my friends come over. Got that ?"
