[(john mulaney voice) what... what do you think esports is?
senri was looking forward to a room with yuma! he was! he was, he really was!! so what the hell is he supposed to do when he and yuma compare dorm assignments, and yuma is in another dorm across campus?! what's the natural reaction to that?! it's to wail loudly about it of course, even as he heads down the hallway with his first set of boxes, his cellphone tucked between his ear and his shoulder as he cries]
What am I going to do, Yumapi?! You and I were supposed to stay up together! You, meeting deadlines! Me, trying to get to higher ranks! Camaraderie! Friendship! And instead I'm probably stuck with some boring, weird, smelly, awkward—
it takes all of the willpower he has to not throw the box out the window. actually, it's the fact that the window is closed that stops him, but let's pretend it's his willpower. ]
[ takaomi has been out for most of the day, busy with some esports thing that was probably important and took a lot of time. maybe it was a golf tournament, who even knows,
but it's night time when he's returning to their place. they probably got a little better after that first night and decided to never drink together like that again because wow that was a mess. but anyway, he is walking down the hall towards their door. this is fine. ]
and it's when he gets closer to their door, he will be able to hear the music first! and then the laughter! and then the sound of someone getting knocked off the smash bros stage, followed by a chorus of cheers and an outraged cry. when he opens the door, he will find not just senri but
then takes a step back, rereads the room number on the door. he looks at the doors next to this one. then looks down at his keys, which were not needed to unlock the door because it was already fuckin unlocked. he sticks it into the keyhole anyway, like he's doubly making sure, and it clicks.
...
he unlocks it and steps inside and immediately goes to find senri because he is going to fucking murder him ]
he's going to have to get past yuma and touji, who are totally there, and are going to be very excited to talk to him!! touji seems like he'd be a lightweight
but senri will hear them cheer taka's name and immediately
start to wander away from that area, trying to save his own goddamn life]
because taka ends up seeing a retreating spot of orange and he just abandons yuma and touji without warning. touji was telling an exciting story of how he is going to run for student council ]
[(touji voice) I'LL COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT TO REACH THE EGOLFING COMMUNITY
but senri just makes a briefly scared noise before he stops and. turns to face taka. with a smile. play it cool. it'll be fine.]
- picking up more drinks, did you want anything? Weren't we running low on that soda that you like? I'll see if I can get another case! You know, since you've done the dishes this week and... stuff.
Oh - yeah, sorry! Some people weren't on the invite list, right? You know how freshman are - getting all overexcited, inviting girls that they think are cute, it's pretty wild to be young, right? It's pretty crowded - but I moved all of the important stuff into our rooms, so no big deal!
[in a (throws dart) overwatch tournament for (rolls dice) teams from their university as well as surrounding local ones, it came down to a death match between their teams, because of course it did. that's just their luck? to always be on opposite sides, and if senri was just a little bit more persistent about trying to KO taka during matches, it's probably just getting some pent up roommate exhaustion out
it's hard to say whether that actually contributed to his team's victory, but the trophy is theirs regardless! so senri's laughing as he lingers in the reception area, a cute medal around his neck as he talks to the gamer groupies that are offering their congratulations
eventually though, he'll have to grab his stuff - and will probably leave in the same direction as taka, given that they live together?]
taka sees senri. and immediately starts walking faster.
it's funny because this has been their first actual competition while they've been living together? and before if taka lost, he at least can be annoyed about it away from whoever it was that beat him. and now that is very much not the case, so the only thing he can do is try to get back to their room first because everything in life is a competition now, apparently ]

so many people in their living room
actually where is senri
it might take a second to find him]

something about games in a gamer au
it's hard to say whether that actually contributed to his team's victory, but the trophy is theirs regardless! so senri's laughing as he lingers in the reception area, a cute medal around his neck as he talks to the gamer groupies that are offering their congratulations

[apparently he just wants to walk with him? he is ignoring taka being annoyed because it does not benefit him in this situation]

well, no, he's still walking. at least he does not quicken his pace even more than it already was. ]
