Hizashi was anxious, after moving to Nashville for College he thought he had everything figured out, he was going to go to school to be a technical engineer, But he hadn’t expected the rent to be so expensive. He was a full time college student as well as a full time factory worker, when he wasn’t at work he was at the table working on school, and when he wasn’t working on school he was working. This cycle continued until he wasn’t able to keep up anymore, so he had to step out of his comfort zone and find some roommates. Thankfully Hizashi was able to find 3 people to move in pretty quickly, which both relieved and worried him at the same time. Relieved him, because now he didn’t have to pay rent alone and maybe, just maybe he could be able to eat something other then Ramen noodles. But it also worried him, strangers were going to be in his personal bubble, they could go through his things if they wanted. But he was just thinking of the worse case possible, he knew they probably wouldn’t go through his things. The day of everyone moving in, Hizashi sat in the living room looking at the coffee table , he had tried his best to be a good host, making snacks in case his new roommates were hungry, getting their favorite snacks they asked for . But even with these kind jesters he was terrified none of them were going to be happy and or satisfied with it. As the door bell rang , Hizashi froze. They were there. Taking a deep breath, he walked over to the door, trying to keep his shy and anxious self at bay as he prepared to open the door. ‘You got this Zashi, these are your roommates, they are kind, you got this.’ he told himself as he opened the door, preparing himself for who ever was past those doors. “Welcome, please come in.@ he said stepping aside, he was wide eyed as he looked at his roommates come into the house, he hoped all this would be a start of a possible friendship, but knowing his luck, probably not .

Annaliese made it up the steps to her new apartment with a huge box in hand, huffing and puffing on the landing and cursing herself for packing things so heavy. Her previous roommate situation had imploded in the blink of an eye after a heated argument about window coverings, and she'd been left without a place to stay. That is until she came across an ad in the apartment-sharing social media group from the school she'd just graduated from in December. Why was she still in the group? That wasn't the point. She'd messaged the poster immediately and offered to pay three months rent upfront. While that might seem reckless from the outside, she knew the building and neighborhood because she knew everything important there was to know about the city where she was born and raised. The guy had seemed nice over instant messenger. Hazashi, she recalled as she made her way down to apartment 311. He was short and to the point in his responses, but he'd answered all of her questions, and that was nice enough for Annaliese. A quiet, uninvolved roommate meant she didn't have to put on a show for anyone. Hopefully, it also meant that she wouldn't get into another big fight about curtains. She made it to the door and shifted the heavy box to one arm and knocked three times to the beat of the song playing in her head. It swung open before she could even step back. "Hizashi hi!" She greeted the guy from the messages with a chipper smile. "I'm Annaliese-...where is everyone else?"

From what she had been told, there would be two other people moving in, and by the time on her watch, she was super late and had expected the other two to have already arrived. "Don't tell me they ghosted us. Say it ain't so!" Annaliese pouted as she walked in and dumped her heavy box down by the refrigerator just to the right of the door. "Wait...if they dropped out, could I up my rent portion and take one of their rooms??"

Hizashi step aside watching as Annalise carried her things into the apartment. He stayed by the door as he listened to her speak. Giving a small nod he replied. “Yes. Unfortunately, oh you don’t have to ask to up the rent I wouldn’t do that to you, please feel free to use any of the rooms.” He told her quickly. He didn’t like the idea of her having to pay more rent because their other roommates failed to inform them of their decision of not to join them. He hummed softly. Carefully rubbing the back of his neck. “Would you like help carrying your things to your room? The master bedroom is free, I took the smallest that way it is free to choose.” He said kindly It was obvious he was anxious this was a complete and different experience he had never experienced this before and he was just nervous. And afraid he would make things awkward. “If not that’s okay I promise .” @sumilumia

"Aww this is your place. You should totally get dibs on a bigger room...what if we each took the middle sized rooms and left the tiny one and the master open for now? That seems the most fair right?" She was more than willing to hand him the giant box she'd hauled up the stairs. "I would love help with the rest of my stuff too. It'll take a couple of trips but my car is parked right outside running up a meter. I know I have to park a few blocks down for the free parking, but I didn't wanna heave ho my stuff that far." Hizashi was as quiet as she'd imagined he would be based on the simple messages between them. She didn't mind though. Maybe he was nervous about living with a stranger suddenly. "We should grab something to eat to celebrate too! There's a Thai place around the corner that I love. Sound good?"

Hizashi gave a small nod, carefully helping carry some boxes upstairs, he gave her a confused look, he hadn’t through about the idea of both of them taking the smaller rooms and saving the bigger one for something else. “Y-yeah I suppose your right we could do that, I’m not sure why I didn’t think of that before.” He admitted with a nod watching her, carefully setting the box down in the room. “Oh, you don’t have to worry, we have parking passes, yours is in the kitchen on the island, I’ll give it to you so you can put it in the window of your car.” Hizashi rubbed the back of his neck as he slowly nodded “y-yeah sure thing we can go eat Thai i haven’t had it before.” He replied quietly as he slowly following her back down the stairs he was trying his best to speak and be more talkative, but it was hard. @sumilumia

Anna was quick to catch on to her roommates nervousness and she switched gears with a soft smile. "How about we pick up the Thai but come back here to eat? That way we can chat for a little while without all the noise of a restaurant around us and then I can get to work setting up my room." She didn't want to trap him into interacting for too long because he already seemed a little overwhelmed. She just wanted to be able to establish a positive roommate relationship so that they could get along for the foreseeable future. "I've got a couple more boxes and then food?"

Hizashi gave a grateful look as he nodded, he was extremely thankful that Anna had noticed his anxiousness and had offered for them to stay and eat at the house. He wasn’t one to ask for any needs to be met, so this was both new and much appreciated. “I would like that, sometimes the noise can be a lot.” He agreed, carefully giving her the parking pass before he grabbed his car keys. “Sounds good I can drive us if you’d like I don’t mind at all.” Moving outside he went to help her get the last few boxes. “Um, Annaliese. You mentioned we turn the big room into something, what should we do?” He asked her wanting her opinion @sumilumia

"That would be awesome Hizashi-. Ooh did I say that right? Please excuse me if I mispronounced it." She flashed an embarrassed smile and followed Hizashi down to his car once they'd placed the last few boxes in her new room. She figured she'd run back out later that night to put the parking pass in her truck and move it to the designated parking lot. There was no rush or worry though because she'd been careful to park on a free street beforehand. She looked to the young man when he asked about the larger bedroom she'd earlier passed up on. "Oh um-...I honestly have no idea at this point. Maybe a room for hobbies? Do you have any hobbies Hizashi?"

“You said it right, if you are unsure you can always call me Hi or just Zashi. I mainly Answer Zashi.” He replied with a small smile nodding his head, he had never had someone worry about the pronunciation of his name before, it felt great knowing someone was worried they said his name wrong, it was different but a good difference. He helped her carry the boxes into the room, setting them down where it would be easy for her to pick up and put away. “Hobbies? Um, I collect things. You don’t have to worry about seeing them. I will keep them in my room, I know not a lot of people appreciate and or like seeing star wars things spread about.” He replied carefully moving to the door getting out of her room so he wasn’t invading her space. “Do you have any hobbies? You can use that room if you’d like, I don’t mind at all.” He offered, rubbing the back of his neck anxiously. Not sure what kind of hobbies would go well in such a large room. “I-if not we can make it a movie room if you'd like? Or a office i'm not sure its a offer we don't have to decide now” He replies taking a deep breath, this was a lot of talking he wasnt use too @sumilumia

"Zashi. That's cute! I like that a lot, so I'll definitely use it if you don't mind." Annaliese nodded towards the front so that they could leave and grab food, expecting that Hizashi would follow. "Music is probably my biggest hobby. I play a few instruments and sing and stuff. Nothing I'd do here, though. I don't wanna make the apartment a practice space because you deserve peace and working where I sleep kills my creativity." She smiled cheerily though and fell in step beside Hizashi once he'd locked the front door. "I haven't seen the Star Wars movies since I was a kid, but I totally get the hype. What kinds of things do you collect? Is it like figurines? Or maybe the lego models of movie scenes and set pieces?" She had a few lego sets of her own from Harry Potter movies, but they were boxed up in her parents' basement, waiting for her to have a big enough space to display elsewhere.

“Please, no make all the noise you’d like!” He suddenly said quickly. He froze for a moment , realizing how that must of sounded. Rubbing the back of his neck he gulped as he shook his head. “Sorry, I mean please don’t worry, I do not like the quiet so please practice as much as you’d like.” He offered with a smile, following her out the front door. As he locked the door, he gave a small hum. “I like to collect the movie posters, as well as some figurines . I wasn’t allowed to have many things when I was younger so my collection is small, I want it to grow, but I don’t want it taking up so much room.” He admitted as they walked towards his car. As they got to his car, she was able to see a baby yoda sticker that said ‘baby on board.’ on the back window, it was the only star wars reference he had. Hizashi saw the sticker and blushed heavily. “Sorry, that’s for when my sister visits with our youngest brother. He’s about 5 months now .” He explained, unlocking his car as he opened the door for her to step inside. @sumilumia

Anna grinned and nodded. She still didn't think she'd play instruments much in the apartment, but it was nice to know she could. She followed her roommate down to his car and practically squeaked over how cute the window sticker was. It was even more cute that he felt like he had to explain why it was there in the first place because she hadn't assumed he had a baby. "Listen I have a very cute cat sticker on the back of my truck, but I'm allergic to cats and could never own one. A cool sticker is a cool sticker!" The got into the car, and after putting on her seatbelt, Annaliese busied herself giving directions and asking Hizashi more about himself. "So you're studying engineering you said? What discipline?"

Hizashi gave a small hum, as he turned to look at her, thankful she wasn't taken aback when he mentioned the sticker. Giving a small smile, he appreciated her telling him about her own car sticker on her truck, that gave him a peace of mind. “Okay, good. I have to explain sometimes, because if i dont people tend to get upset with me. I have found out people don't really like kids unfortunately.” he explained as he opened the passenger side door for her. Once they were in the car and buckled, he gave a small hum when she asked what type of engineer he was. He gave a small pause as he rubbed the back of his neck. “Unfortunately I'm a Technical engineer, as well as a full time medical student. It isn't really what I want to do, but I have no other talents besides the medical field.” he admitted as he looked straight ahead, beginning to drive to their destination. He had no emotion when he talked about.he didn't even grimas when he mentioned the workload he now had. “But it will pay the bills when I am done, so I cannot complain. What about you, are you in school?” he asked her quietly, as he looked at her when he stopped at a stop light. He gave her a slightly curious look, wondering if she was in school or only there for work.”or is that too personal to ask, I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what to and not to ask.” he admitted softly, looking back towards the road he began to drive again. @sumilumia

What a sweet guy. Anna smiled moreso to herself as she listened to him talk. "I've noticed that too, but I never felt the hatred myself as a kid, so I wonder if it's a generational thing." Like was it just younger adults who hated children or did everyone? "Medicine? You must study day and night and barely get any sleep 'Zashi." She couldn't deny that she was majorly impressed because she'd never make it through school studying that. "It's not too personal! Honestly nothing is ever that private for me. I studied psychology and music. I have nooo idea what I'm gonna do with the degree yet though."
