You enter the dorm room to find a beautiful young woman with long chestnut hair unpacking her suitcase. She is wearing a pink sweater, glasses, and skinny jeans. She appears startled when you first arrive, and you are confused as to why there is a girl in your room and not a guy roommate.
You have your room assignment which clearly marks that you are supposed to be in this room, Room 203. You see her paper which also states Room 203. There's definitely an error here as there's no way the school would let you room with a girl, as much as you would love that. You guess your next move should be finding the RA to ask what's going on.
"Ahh!" She jumps a little. "Oh- sorry. Hi there. Sorry, you scared me," she exclaims. "Who are you?" She turns to face you, and her skin is glowing.
My name is Hunter, i got assigned to this room
Oh... Hi there Hunter. I'm Shelby. Well this is awkward. You look really familiar. Do you go to my school? The computer must have made a mistake. No way would they let us room together, so we should probably get that fixed right away... *She flashes her pearly whites and giggles lightly, avoiding any eye contact with you.
Yeah, we should see whats up
Sure... umm I'll go with you then. *She grabs her stuff and follows after you, not really making eye contact still. This girl is so shy!
Well uh... you go ahead and lead the way.
go to the ra office and knock
Shelby follows you to the RA office and knocks softly on the door once it's open. She glances at you nervously before stepping inside, not sure what kind of reaction they'll have to this mess-up.
Hey speaking to the ra There most of been a bug but we got put in the same room
The RA looks at both you and Shelby, clearly confused about the situation. "Well yes, there was a computer error. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. There are no other rooms available though..." She trails off, knowing it's unlikely that you want to room with a guy. "You two could sign this waiver, agreeing to live together in this room. It would mean you accept the risk of being placed with someone of the opposite sex, and that neither one of you will hold the university responsible if anything... questionable happens." She laughs nervously, clearly uncomfortable discussing such a situation.
Let me discuss this with her, well get back to you
Shelby watches as the RA hands you a piece of paper. Her face turns a deep shade of red and she looks down at her feet, not wanting to make eye contact with either of you. She bites her lower lip nervously, fidgeting where she stands. This is all so embarrassing...
Hey Shelby, I know this is awkward, what do you think is best for you. If it makes you uncomfortable, im more than happy to bring this to the higher ups and fight for you to get into another room.
Oh... T-thank you? But I don't want to cause you any more trouble. We could just sign the waiver and figure something else out later... It'll be fine, really... Her cheeks flush even darker from her embarrassment and nerves
Are you sure?
I-I mean... yeah, I'm sure... It's not that big of a deal. Really. Her voice cracks slightly and she looks down at the ground, her long lashes fanning over her rosy cheeks as she avoids eye contact with you. She pushes up the sleeves on her sweater nervously and plays with a loose thread, twirling it around her finger.
Okay lets sign it sign the document
Shelby takes a deep breath and nods slowly, finally looking up at you as she meets your gaze. There's a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Okay... I trust you. Thanks for not making a bigger deal out of it," she says softly, her voice still shaky from nerves and embarrassment. She reaches over to take the pen from your hand and carefully signs her name on the waiver, then hands it back with a small, grateful smile
return it to the ra then head back to our room is there anything you need help with?
There's no need to worry about me. I can take care of myself. Thanks again though... She turns back to face the RA with a small smile, apparently feeling much more at ease now that everything is settled between you two. She hands the waiver back over and nods in understanding, obviously grateful that this whole mess got taken care of so quickly and with such little hassle for either of you. Once it's been signed off on, she turns to face you once more, a hint of playfulness back in her eyes now that the awkwardness has dissipated somewhat. She bites her lip thoughtfully before speaking up. "Well... maybe you could help me with something else?"
What do you have in mind?
Well... there's this one thing I do in my sleep that I haven't told anyone about yet... it might be a bit embarrassing for you, but maybe if I trust you not to make fun of me or anything?
Of course, tell me
...Okay, so it's nothing too crazy... I tend to sleepwalk sometimes and end up doing a few things to people while they're asleep. Like hugging or kissing them or even just cuddling with them really close. It only happens every now and then but it is kinda part of my sleep routine...so if that's alright with you I won't mind giving you a little cuddle every once in a while at night, if you want?
Haha, thats okay ill make sure to look after you so you dont trip in your sleep
Oh... well... okay then. Thanks, I guess. You're not going to make fun of me if it happens, right? I mean, it won't be every night or anything and you might already have your own sleeping habits but... uh... thanks for understanding anyway!
Of course not Shelby, why dont I grab food for us because of this whole ordeal
That's... actually a really good idea! I didn't even think about dinner yet... Thanks, Hunter. You're not too bad after all, huh? She flashes another small smile, her gaze darting away for just a moment before coming back to meet yours. Her cheeks flush slightly pink again as she realizes what she's just said
grab food and bring it back Here you go!
Shelby accepts the food gratefully and sits down on her bed to eat, careful not to make a mess. As you wait for her to finish, you look around your room, noticing that she's already made it feel more homely with her personal touches. She really is quite cute... and surprisingly easy-going about all of this. You find yourself smiling as you watch her eat, feeling a sense of camaraderie growing between the two of you. Once she finishes, Shelby stands up and hands you back the takeout containers before making her way over to her side of the room and starting to unpack some more things from her bags.
Well, I should get unpacked now. Thanks again for all your help with this whole thing. You're... really not that bad after all. Her cheeks flush lightly as she thinks back to how you've been so understanding and caring about her needs, even though it means living together in such close quarters. There's definitely something strange going on here, but it isn't unwelcome either...
Sounds good, im going to get ready for bed
All right... goodnight then! And thanks again. She gives you a small wave as she turns her back to you, focusing on hanging up her clothes and putting the rest of her belongings away. Her voice is muffled but sincere as she continues to say her goodnights until it's just quiet between you again. You can't help but feel a little bit warmer inside knowing that she trusts you enough to fall asleep around you... even if it means accidentally cuddling sometimes too...
Goodnight Hunter. Sleep well. She glances over her shoulder at you, giving you a shy smile before turning back to what she's doing. The soft light of the lamp casting a gentle glow over her face and hair. Her skin is smooth and radiant in the warm light, making it hard not to stare...
Goodnight Hunter. Sleep tight.
In the middle of the night she starts to sleep walk
In her sleepwalking state, Shelby manages to quietly make her way over to Hunter's bed and climbs in next to him. Her skin is cool against his as she nestles close, wrapping one arm around his waist and pressing her cheek against his chest. In the darkness, she resembles a smaller version of herself, more vulnerable and childlike than ever before. She continues to sleep soundly, unaware of how close they are or what position they're in...
subconciously I hug her back and cuddle her into the corner
Hunter's strong arms slip around her waist and draw her closer against his warm body, his scent enveloping her. She shifts slightly in sleep, pressing her back flush against him as she nestles even deeper into the comforting embrace. Her eyelashes flutter occasionally against her cheek, but otherwise she remains peacefully asleep, unaware of how close they truly are or how good it feels to have someone hold her like this...
in the morning Shelby starts to wake up first
Shelby slowly begins to stir awake, her eyelids fluttering as she tries to make sense of the feeling of someone else's chest against her back and the arm that feels strangely warm and solid around her waist. She takes a deep breath, noticing how much more comfortable it is to be pressed up against Hunter like this... Her cheeks flush pink with embarrassment as she realizes where she is and what she's done in her sleepwalking state.
Her eyes snap open, and she instinctively tries to pull away from him, mortified by her own sleepwalking antics. But he's still asleep, and the warmth of his body presses against hers in a way that feels so... safe and comforting. She bites her lower lip nervously, unsure what to do or say now that she's awake and they're in this position.
It feels so wrong to be cuddling with him like this... but it also feels so right. He's strong and warm, and being close to him makes her feel protected in a way she never knew was possible. She looks over at Hunter, taking in his features for what might be the first time without feeling self-conscious or awkward. His eyes are closed, his lips slightly parted as he breathes softly beside her. Her heart skips a beat as she realizes that maybe... just maybe... this isn't all that bad after all.
She bites her lip nervously, unsure if she should wake him up or just let him sleep a little longer... Her heart is racing, and butterflies dance in her stomach at the thought of being this close to him. Maybe it won't be so bad to stay with him after all...?
Her cheeks flush even darker as she contemplates their situation, wondering where things might go from here...
