"Amun," Erro called from the other room before walking into Neo's room, a ramen cup in hand as he sat down on the floor by the bed. Amun tittered and wiggled happily at the arrival of Erro, and the dragon leaned down just enough to boop Erro's nose
Neo watched him sit, continuing the waves of his fine legs. He shut the book and set it to the side with a sigh.
"Well, Whatever, welcome and nice to meet you."
"Yeah, yeah. Hi to you too," Erro mumbled, smiling faintly as he stroked Amun behind the ear, causing him to wiggle before all but melting halfway off the bed into Erro's touch. "What's your name again?" he asked, looking up at Neo now
"M'name's Neo. Well, everyone calls me that, and that's what you'll call me," Neo said saltily, still rather upset. "What's your name?"
"Erro. Tensei Erro," came the response, lips pursed at Neo's still cold tone. He had a funny feeling he might have to get a new room to avoid discrimination or fights between them, since Neo seemed to definitely hate him
Neo grunted and went back to his book. Sooner or later Erro, if he were smart enough, would figure out he wasn't the only person on the planet with Magic. Hopefully he figured it out for himself so Neo could see the look on his face.
Erro had begun playing with Amun, the dragon turning circles in his lap, trying to jump and nibble his fingers. The boy chuckled, smiling and giving the dragon a little rub, causing it to purr happily
Neo continued the waves of his legs as he read, idly tapping at the corner of the book. He murmured soft sentences to himself, such as definitions or a long spreel of text that he had to know.
Eventually, Erro let out a soft sigh. "Look…I know we started off bad, and I'm an asshole for freaking out on you. Uh…I just wanted to say I'm sorry I guess," he said, shrugging a bit as he cuddled Amun
Neo grunted. "It's fine. Just so you know, I dress like this often and I'm not going to let you get in the way of my comfort." He shifted so his head was on his pillow again, humming as he relaxed again.
"If I'm being honest, I only freaked out like that because I thought I walked into someone's dorm right after they had fucked you, or were going to fuck you or something…" Erro said with a small, nervous chuckle, which earned him a bap on the nose from Amun
Neo rolled his eyes. "That's a stupid thing to be afraid of. If someone were to come in here to fuck me, they'd already be here. And I wouldn't want to waste that type of time on a Thursday."
"Good to know the room's safe from your fuckbuddies on Thursdays," Erro drawled sarcastically, complete with a roll of his eyes. He was quickly growing tired of trying to make amends with this guy
Then stop trying, asshole, Neo thought bitterly as he went back to reading.
"Oh, yes, quite safe," The man said, reflecting some of his twin's nasty sarcasm.
"Alright, well, this has been terrible, sorry for interrupting your mostly naked study time. I'm gonna go smoke or something–right, yeah, unfortunately, you're never safe from my cigarettes. But they smell like mint or whatever, so you'll just smell like a febreeze commercial from now on," Erro hummed, forcing a smile as he got up
"Ugh. I should hang up a sign. You smoke outside, but not inside. If you do, I'll get you kicked the fuck out and you'll be boarded with freshmen jocks. I do not want to smell like a candy store 24/7." Neo could admit he was being a bit bitchier than what he was, but this whole situation was annoying him.
"Suck evergreen, dickwad," Erro called as he left the room, exaggeratedly flipping Neo off as he made his exit, even doing a little prance before deciding that he would at least crack the window and lean out of it and smoke instead of going outside
Neo clicked his teeth together angrily and sat up, scrambling out of his bed and appearing out of his room.
"Not out the fucking window, either. Outside."
(lmao just them hating each other atm is going to make this a great slowburn)
"Fuck off, it's outside," Erro said, rolling his eyes as he rolled the oddly long cigarette between his fingers before taking another drag. There was no way in hell he was giving up smoking–it helped tons with his OCD and insomnia, not that he would tell Neo that
(Lmao I love it too. It might change quickly once Erro figures out he's a MR (since a Neo gets clingy really fast) so I hope you're ready for that when it happens.)
"It is not!" Neo exclaimed hotly, stalking across the apartment and opening the door. "Go outside! I don't want the window open!" He grabbed the window shut, nearly jamming Erro into it.
(yeah I'm super ready tbh lmao, I just love the way they interact)
Unfortunately, being jetlagged and exhausted as is, Erro did get his arm caught in the window when it was slammed shut. He yelped in pain, causing Amun to run in snapping and yapping. "Motherfucker! You did that on purpose, fucking prick!" he snapped, nearly dropping his cigarette in the process of yelling at Neo
"Maybe you should've fucking listened to me, then, asscrack!" Neo snarled back, ignoring the snapping dragon as he opened the sash a little and ripped out the other's arm from it (not nearly as violent as I made it sound don't worry).
"Just go the fuck outside, or I'll kick you out!"
"F-Fucking–Fine! Fine, whatever!" Erro shouted back, suddenly seeming to lose his resolve. He stopped thrashing, just lowered his arms as he stuck the cigarette back between his teeth. Amun stopped barking, only growling to himself as he stared down at the floor (something difficult to do without any eyes)
Neo growled and slammed the window shut. "Go! Outside!" Neo ushered Erro outside and cracked the door, tempted to slam it shut and lock him out for the rest of the night. He didn't, though.
"I'm g-going, god!" Erro exclaimed, just walking out the door as Amun bounded out after him, yapping again and curling around Neo's feet somewhat obnoxiously
