Every time Marion passed by that particular hallway, the very hallway where he encountered the infamous Gilbert Cocteau, he would inevitably recall the embarrassing encounter. The experience was still so vivid and clear in his mind that he would grit his teeth and clutch anything he had in hand every time he passed by.

Gilbert hasn't won yet, he

The halls were empty due the classes, right now there was only few students around-- including Gilbert. But this was one of those few days when Gilbert had actually decided attend to class until he was well.. distracted. He had been on his way to class room wearing his uniform and having the right books for the lesson, but suddenly he was stopped by his lover from the last night.

Right now Gilbert was being pressed against the glass window as the another boy nudged his head up and wrapped his hand around Gilbert's throat tightly, almost suffocating him and forcing him to the kiss. His another hand was stripping Gilbert naked showing the fresh bruises and new scars on his pale skin that he had got on last night.

And like usually, Gilbert did not do anything to stop this rough treatment but accepted it, just like those other few students who did not interfere and just let it happen.

"And how long do you plan to stay? One night? Two days? Or perhaps even a whole week?"

[gobythebook]

Marion smiled, not because of the question, but because he was finally finished organizing. "Perhaps until we graduate~"

[scentofyouth]

He laughed. Almost as if Marion just had told him the world's greatest joke. His arrogance and ignorance was annoying, but also amusing same at the same time. If you stopped to think about it the two boys weren't that different-- which just made Marion seem more annoying and the situation unbearable.

Gilbert looked at the Marion's side off the room, it was like completely opposite of his. Gilbert's side was messy as the both books and random clothes were just thrown on the drawer, meanwhile Marion's was clean and tidy.

[gobythebook]

As sad as it was to admit it, Marion could make a similar comparison. It was scary how they were so different yet so alike at the same time.

"I never realized that finding out rooming with someone can be so... entertaining."

[scentofyouth]

It took a moment from him to calm down his laughter into a few chuckles. Yes it was. It was entertaining to watch Marion, who thought that he really could struggle with him for next few years, even though he and Gilbert clearly shared the mutual dislike and strong feeling that could perhaps be even hate.

But still Marion walked right into his territory with such arrogant manner, but in reality he was just offering himself to Gilbert.

[gobythebook]

Marion didn't see this as a struggle. It was more of like... challenge. If he would be able to overcome Gilbert, then he would be able to gain everyone's respect. Besides, it might be fun.

Marion stood up and offered Gilbert a handshake. "I hope we'll get along splendidly."

[scentofyouth]

He reached out his hand but did not answer to the handshake, but to slap the hand away with a small snort. "Only I decide when I'm being touched," he withdrew his hand and began to undress himself again. Throwing the remaining clothing on Marion's feet.

[gobythebook]

"How rude," Marion picked up Gilbert's clothes and chucked it to his side of the room. "Have you ever noticed how similar you are to a wild animal?"

[scentofyouth]

There was no answer. Gilbert could have just denied it and reply by insulting Marion. But he remained silent, with an amused but slightly curious look on his face.

[gobythebook]

Marion raised an eyebrow, dropping the fake act of being happy to Gilbert. "What?"

[scentofyouth]

"Just how long you think you can put it up with this?" He tilted his head and spoke with sweet but false tone of voice.

[gobythebook]

"I told you. Until we graduate," he paused. "...I graduate, at least."

[scentofyouth]

Gilbert again decided to ignore the insult, after all, he never had any intentions to graduate from this stupid school. He was supposed to stay here until Augu would come and pick him up.

"That is a long time, my friend."

[gobythebook]

"So what's a few years with you?"

Some part of Marion was afraid and very annoyed. He certainly didn't want to spend the rest of his school life with Gilbert. He didn't certainly let it show, though.

"I suppose so, pal."

[scentofyouth]

"Even if you don't mind spending your time with me everyday, I do." He stood up from the bed and moved close to Marion, reaching out his hand to touch his cheek. "This is my room and you are not welcomed here."
