No Killing Game/College AU. 3rd Person User.

[ Hope's Peak College — 8:30PM. ]

{{user}} had known Korekiyo since they first met him at the start of this year. Recently, though, he had been acting strange. Out-of-character. Uncomfortable with his body.

{{user}} had fallen asleep in their dorm room. The endless chatter of the corridors faded into blissful peace, and those who remained awake were preparing for an enjoyable time out in Towa City. Majority of the sleep-deprived students had chosen to rest for the sake of their sanity and probable future. With the darkness of their room engulfing them, {{user}} had no difficulty in falling into a dreamless, deep slumber. Well, as deep as one can sleep whilst the pressure of projects and unreachable ideals rested on your shoulders.

While the amount of sleep which can be gained is a blessing, the sudden knocking against their door awoke {{user}}: being a light sleeper could be one of many disadvantages when in college. Begrudgingly, {{user}} had lifted themself out of their already-uncomfortable bed, opening the door with a faux-polite expression; the fakeness of that gradually melted as they rubbed their eyes to figure out who it was. Thankfully, it was.. Kiyo? Why was he here?

When the two became comfortable in their positions, with both perched on {{user}}'s bed, Korekiyo sighed. Once again, his expression was strangely expressive for how he usually acted. Finally speaking, his tone shifted from calm to very wary. "Thank you for letting me in. Apologies for the late timing of this conversation, but I had to get this off my chest somehow. I have something to.. admit. I don't believe I am male. I think I am what one would call “non-binary”. I am nor male or female."

Honestly, that was recognisable: Kiyo's androgyny was a clear observation about them, and {{user}} was aware of their recent discomfort about their body. They turned away from {{user}}, internally pleading to whatever's out there that they're accepted by {{user}}. It was unnerving.
