Chapter 20: Izumi Miyamura: Xover - Chapter 20
We had finally arrived at the dorm, UA had parking lots obviously, but it was not close to the residential buildings so we had a bit of a walk to get to the building with the sign 1A, although the dorms were a 5 minute walk from the main building.
"It's a great building," Taylor whistled, impressed, and so was I.
"Welcome!" My gaze went to the voice that had opened the dorm door, I recognized it immediately "My name is Nemuri Kayama, I'll be your dorm mother! Come on in, I'll give you a tour!" With that she turned back inside, we immediately followed her "First, your names" Nemuri asked while holding a clipboard.
"Taylor Hebert"
"Izumi Miyamura" we both answered and Nemuri nodded while writing something on the paper in her hand.
"Well, well, well, we only have two boys in class 1A, you're the first one to arrive Izumi, do you mind if I call you that?" Nemuri asked with a warm smile, I shook my head "well, you can call me Nemuri outside of class hours, I'm your Modern Hero Art History teacher if you take that class, so you'll have to address me by my hero name or my teacher name, whichever is more comfortable for you" she finally put down the clipboard "follow me" she turned around and started walking.
"Are we the first to arrive?" I asked curiously, Nemuri shook her head.
"No, about half of them are already there, some decided to go to the cafeteria or are in their rooms" she explained, we nodded "okay, now about the dorm, it has 5 floors, the first floor is a common area where you will be able to observe, it has a television, consoles, kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms, students can bring any entertainment item they want but UA is not responsible for its damage or loss" she hummed lightly "your daily needs will be taken care of by you, if you do not comply with a minimum level of personal and communal hygiene, we will sanction you. The cafeteria is essentially open from 7am to 9pm with some exceptions, the schedules are on the cafeteria door in case you want to check them, the fridge and pantry are stocked and will be refilled regularly, if there is any problem or ingredients are missing, you can ask the administration, the number is on the refrigerator.
"Is there a limit to the amount of things we can order?"
"We won't be buying A5 wagyu beef for every meal." Nemuri said dryly and I chuckled, I'm sure there was a whole story there "You can ask the management for whatever you want, they'll take care of your requests as long as they're not ridiculous. Now, the dormitories start from the second to the fifth, each room is equipped with air conditioning, toilet, beds, refrigerators, closets and a balcony, at least for the girls' dormitories, Taylor, you can choose any room from the third to the fifth floor that isn't occupied."
"Didn't you just say that the rooms start on the second floor ?" Taylor asked.
"That's what I was getting at. The second floor is always remodeled depending on the number of students entering each class. This year, 1A only has two students. Their rooms are the size of four dormitories, one on the left wing and the other on the right wing. These rooms are much more complete than the other rooms. They especially have a fully equipped private bathroom, so they won't have to use the communal bathroom on the first floor." Nemuri explained and smiled softly at me.
"Great, can I choose either one?" I asked curiously, she nodded "Then I'll take the one on the right"
"Perfect" Nemuri lifted her clipboard and wrote on her paper "Now, the following, we are aware of... the obligations that you have to fulfill Izumi, the UA has everything you can request, unfortunately if you have spouses outside the university they will not be able to live within it, but if you request a permit, you will have full and free access to the dormitories as long as you do not interrupt any class"
"No wife outside of UA" I said playfully "but I have one Taylor, can she live with me in my room?" Taylor snorted while Nemuri frowned slightly, she began searching through her papers.
"Ah yes, it says here that you are engaged, congratulations, but even if you weren't, there wouldn't be any problem, UA is quite liberal about living together and sex as long as it is consensual and within the dorms, the staff knows that you must have a child before you are 24, so they can't block it in any way, it is only expected that you take care of yourselves as you see fit and in any situation, talk to the nursing staff, it's not uncommon for one of the girls to end up pregnant" Taylor blushed slightly "UA has doctors trained to help any woman give birth and we have a daycare for your children, it is only expected that you do not fall behind in your studies and resume your practices once you heal properly, UA is lenient in that sense, but it is not completely kind either, if we see that you do not make any effort to return to your previous level you will be expelled without a doubt, are we clear?" Nemuri pointed to her dude.
"Understood," we both echoed.
"Perfect! I guess I don't have anything else to say! Taylor, even though you'll be sleeping in Izumi's room, you'll have to pick one of the rooms, just for logistics, and even if you don't use it, it will still be yours until you finish your 3 years of enrollment at UA" Taylor nodded "and… that would be all! If you have any questions, my contact forms are posted on the refrigerators in each room, feel free to text me if you have any questions! Now, I have to go wait for the next person!" with that she turned around and walked back to the door before turning in our direction once more "by the way! The movers brought your stuff! Yours Izumi is on the second floor in the hallway, yours Taylor is on the third! If you need help ask your roommates, a good way to get along!"
"Shall we go pack our stuff?" I asked Taylor, she nodded as we started up the stairs, the second floor was filled with boxes, and on top of one of them was Ruby with her phone "Ruby" Ruby's head quickly turned in our direction and smiled widely, she disappeared in a storm of petals before I felt myself being hugged tightly.
"Izumi!!" she stifled into my chest before pulling away and hugging Taylor tightly.
"Hello Ruby" Taylor greeted slightly uncomfortable, she still didn't know what to do with the occasional affection that Ruby gave her simply because she could, but she still returned the hug somewhat stiffly. Before Ruby pulled away again and hugged me once more.
"Did you miss me?! Did you miss me?!" Ruby asked with a big smile, I chuckled, I was tempted to tell her no.
"Yes Ruby, we missed you" I told her honestly, Ruby's expression brightened and she looked at Taylor who nodded with a slight smile.
"I was waiting for you! When I saw the boxes with your names on them I thought you would arrive any moment so I waited here for you! Do you need any help? An extra pair of hands will make everything easier! I already finished moving a few hours ago so I'm completely free-!" I silenced Ruby with a kiss on the lips, Ruby stopped but quickly melted against my lips, her hands unconsciously going to my waist.
Since our date at the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall I had been on several dates with Ruby or just hanging out, a couple of times it was just Ruby and I, but most of the time Taylor was invited, and certainly not because of my insistence, but because it was Ruby who genuinely wanted her presence.
And since Taylor seemed to genuinely enjoy Ruby's company as a friend, there really wasn't much of a problem when she became my girlfriend a week ago and we certainly hadn't progressed beyond kissing.
Once we separated Ruby looked dizzy with a goofy grin, I looked at Taylor and noticed that she was looking at us with a small smile and her eyes had widened, I was sure that neither Taylor realized how excited she was, or the reason why she was, so I had no idea what was going on in Taylor's head either, but it was a good thing that my public display of affection with Ruby didn't bother her.
"Come on, we have a lot to unpack," I pushed Ruby out of her stupor, Ruby blushed slightly, but nodded.
In fact, it didn't take us more than half an hour to get all the things into my room, first because, with my strength and Taylor's, I was more than capable of moving any piece of furniture and box no matter how heavy it was, and second, I had a lot of space, like, a lot, so all the boxes fit in easily and once inside we could rearrange them however we wanted, unlike if we had a smaller room where getting them in order would be essential.
"You're so lucky Izumi, this place is huge! My room is tiny, it gets crowded with all my Crescent Rose supplies." Ruby pouted, I laughed.
"You can come over whenever you want Ruby, don't worry about bothering me." Ruby opened her eyes and looked at me excitedly.
"Really?!" Ruby asked bouncing between me and Taylor, Taylor shrugged.
"As long as you let me know or knock first, I'm fine," Taylor added, Ruby pausing momentarily before blushing at the implication.
"O-of course!" I immediately agreed, bursting out laughing.
"Okay, what do you want to do? It's still early for anything," I asked, Ruby raised her hand.
"I want to go meet our classmates!" she said excitedly, I looked at Taylor who nodded.
"Alright, let's go, I must say I'm curious too" Ruby quickly walked out the door, Taylor and I followed more slowly.
