W&B - And Then There Was Two

[Zap]

I decided to write this in my spare time to keep me entertained on my resting days.I even have the help of a very "mean-spirited Japanese nerd but still kawaii girl" (as she says) to help me nerdify one of the characters. So I guess it's more of a collab and credits go to my Co-Author "Aurora" or whatever she'd like to be called. This will be more of a comedy type thing, but still, any criticism is welcomed. Just don't critique anything nerdy that Isaac does. The mean-spirited girl will probably destroy you if you do. Also, this is just the introduction, the boring but necessary setup of the story, etc.

And Then There Was Two

RINGRINGRINGRING... RINGRINGRINGRING

It's funny how something as simple as a ringing phone can lead to something more than an average conversation.

Sometimes, Isaac doesn't know what he was thinking when he signed that agreement. He found an amazing house to rent, which was double the price of any normal apartment - but triple the size, with it's own property. He got a bit too excited and before he knew it, he had signed it. He could easily cover the future payments if he had friends willing to move in with him - but he had none of those. He could have asked for helps from relatives - but again, he had none of those. Meaning his only option was to put out a flier, looking for a roommate. However, renting an apartment would cost the same, minus the strange roommate. So most people wouldn't even consider giving the flier a second look. There was one call, though, and it will certainly lead to something more than an average conversation.

RINGRINGRI-Isaac had finally reached the phone.

"H-hello?!" Isaac hysterically answered. He was practically foaming at the mouth.

"Hello, am I currently speaking with an Isaac?" A woman asked, sounding almost like a professional recording.

"YES! I-I mean, y-yes you are."

"Fantastic. I have found one of your roommate requests around town. You see, my son needs a place to stay and your home is quite close to where he needs to be. The rent would be no problem, so there should not be any problems, correct?"

"Oh?" Isaac finally mellowed out, relieved that he had an offer. "Is he at least 18?"

"Yes, my nephew is over 18, his name is Aden, he will be arriving precisely at 0900 today."

"B-but that's in an hour!" Isaac shot back, too wound up by the time of Aden's arrival to notice the woman called her son "nephew".

"Is that a problem? If so, I can al-"

"Nonono, nono, no problem! 9 o'clock today! No problem!" Isaac hung up the phone quickly, smacking himself in the head shortly after.

Isaac is an eccentric fellow, to say the least. He stands at 5'10" and seems skinny with clothes on, though his muscles look like cobblestones. His constant reorganizing and cleaning was apparently great for his muscle tone. Besides that, his appearance screamed "odd neat freak", sans his short, brown hair which is always disheveled. His brown eyes always hid behind thick rimmed glasses, the ones considered stylish on any intellectual - as long as they weren't as awkward as Isaac. Overall, he was easy to forget and hard to find in a crowd - even if the 'crowd' consisted of two people.

Isaac prepared for his new roommate's arrival, reorganizing the fridge contents - and added new labels, putting more towels in the bathroom closet - and added new labels, placing sheets on the empty room's bed - and added new labels... You get the idea. He also removed all game-related or anime-related goods from the common room, trying to find places for them in his already packed room. Despite being against common fire codes, his room looked unbelievably tidy - almost as if it were a brand new toy store instead of a bedroom. After finishing his daily routine... Yes, he reorganized everything and made new labels... Everyday... He sat on the common room's couch, awaiting the arrival of his new roommate. The thought of having a friend, or heck, just someone to interact with sent his overactive imagination into the danger zone.

"I hope he likes Pokemon. If he does, then we can battle. But he'd definitely lose, my team is fully trained - legitly too! Oh, oh, and we can watch Panty and Stocking together, I bet he didn't see it yet, it's too funny to miss... Unless he likes serious things, then I guess I can always watch Ghost in a Shell for the fifty-second time Maybe he li-"

DINGDONGDINGDONG - DINGDONGDINGDOOONG, thankfully the doorbell interrupted Isaac's blabbering.

Isaac quickly answered the door, and was prepared to say what he was previously practicing.

"Hiya there, come in!" Isaac said, gesturing for his roommate to come in. Just as he hoped, Aden was an individual similar to Isaac. He was wearing a Panty and Stocking shirt, featuring Panty saying something hilariously perverted in Japanese, with a playing Pokemon White on his DSi.

"Hi Isaac, I hope you don't mind. But I brought my own rolls of labeling strips to label all my things and put them in the right spots. I also have my own cleaning supplies so I can clean up after mys-"

DINGDONGDINGDONG - DINGDONGDINGDOOONG, thankfully the doorbell interrupted Isaac's daydreaming. Just in time to crush all his hopes and expectations, too!

"Alright, let's do this!" Isaac said to himself, almost as if he were cheering himself on. He opened the door and then began to open his mouth to greet his new roommate... Nothing came out. It turns out his new roommate was an extremely muscular and intimidating guy.

[COLOR=Plum]Hey, you were right![/COLOR]

And? And?
I am really excited how this situation turns out!

Brilliant. We crave muscle, though.
