He’d had a pretty bad day so far, first he’d woken up late for school. Having had a tough time falling asleep that night he had an enough tougher time forcing himself to wake up for the day ahead of him. Honestly? He just wanted to sleep in bed forever. But to top that morning off it had been pouring, forcing him to sprint his way to school, getting into class late and soaking wet; causing the teacher to scold him and ask him to visit him after school to discuss why he was late. Luckily enough for him he kept his gym clothes in his locker and he had just brought a fresh clean pair the day before, so he sat and wore the vibrant red track suit around the school, even if he hated it at least it was far better than a wet uniform by any measure.

But now it was the end of school and either his teacher forgot about their little meeting or he was doing it to fuck with him for being late. Eventually after around twenty minutes Hikaru grew fed up and stood up and walked more or less in resignation, allowing the day its victory. That is until he looked out the window and noted the hurricane like conditions, watching the rain pelt the window. It was dark outside with the looming black clouds covering any amount of blue skies that could have been there.

He groaned and sat down in the hall, he couldn’t go out there like this. He’d just get all wet again, and besides it was far too windy. It would be dangerous to even try getting out there. Hikaru leaned his head against the wall and stared up at the light fixture, yelping and shielding himself when the lights crackled and sparked, causing a very audible ‘POP’ before all the lights in the hall and as far as he knew, the entire building to shut off.

Hiki just put his head in his hands, making quite the indescribable noise of frustration “Great. Just—great. This is exactly what I wanted today, oh good lord above how did you know?!” he screeched to himself, paying no mind if anyone caught him sitting there talking to himself.

It'd been a slow day on Juon's side; he'd been at the end of the box of jellybeans he'd grabbed to take along for the day, and had ultimately been forced to ration throughout the day, which had ultimately caused it to drag. His addiction was rarely fully satisfied; he constantly needed small doses, or one big heavy dose to hold him over--unfortunately, what he'd brought wasn't quite big enough, and so he had to ration in small doses.

By the time the part of the day came around when it was time for him to head to swim practice, he was completely out--he'd planned to stop by his dorm on the way over, but from the torrential downpours that were currently occurring outside, that didn't seem to be quite the possibility. There was usually about a thirty minute break between the end of classes and the start of practice; he generally used that time to hang back in a classroom and get work done to keep from having to do it later--and it was his best, quietest time to focus, as he didn't have to worry about his roommate.

He'd figured that swim was muchly out of the question for the time being, though, unless he wanted to risk the run across the entire campus to try and get to the natatorium. But he doubted it could last all that long, right? He'd just wait it out, maybe get some extra work done, study for an upcoming test, or something--but then there was an enormous POP, and before he knew it, he was plunged into darkness.

"Well... shit," he muttered aloud, though the echoing sound of someone else's exasperation seemed to be echoing from a hallway outside. Grabbing his things, he followed said voice into the hallway, only to find someone sitting there in the darkness. "You okay?" he called, in an attempt to engage.

[Hikaru]

Hikaru yelped a little at the sudden voice in front of him, staring ahead and vaguely remembering the boy in front of him as being familiar. "Ah-- no. Well-- yes. But-- sorry yeah I'm fine." he smiled lightly in the dim light of the hallway. Playing with his hands in front of him, not really knowing what to say. "We've met before right? You sound familiar, I can't really see you too well in this light." he looked out the window a moment and laughed nervously "Crazy storm hey? Are you going to wait it out too?" 

He felt awkward talking to the upperclassman, plus the last time he met him he had been sort of weird making odd comments but lord knows Hiki made comments just as odd or even more so. The upperclassman probably had better social skills than he did anyway, even if he was kinda weird. "You probably should wait it out, it looks pretty nasty, I wouldn't run back to the dorms right now."

Approaching to get a better look, the kid had a familiar face--where he did know this guy from, again? It was difficult to tell between his awful memory for people and the dim light. A crack of lightning illuminated the space for just a moment, which--really didn't help at all, ultimately, to help him catch a better view.

"Eh, probably, somewhere," he offered; that was about the best answer he could honestly give. He kept trying to summon up a name, any kind of name--something told him that this guy had a really common name, or a really common surname, at least. Common, common... it'd come to him eventually. Hopefully not too late.

He nodded, nonetheless. "But yeah, this is crazy. I don't remember it being like this when classes were over; must've come suddenly."

Another crack of lightning, this time accompanied with an almost immediate thunder clap. He flinched at the sound--though he wasn't afraid of storms, he was still one easily spooked by sudden things--before approaching, and ultimately going over to lean against the wall next to the guy, sliding down until he was seated nearby next to him. "Yeah, probably not; guess I'll just skip swim today. Too much water."

Turning a head to glance over to the guy--shit, what was his name!?--he offered, "What are you still doing here so late, anyway?" ... Not that he was one to talk. But he did have the Responsible Senpai Concern thing going for him, in some way.

I'M SO SORRY I TOOK SO LONG I HIT A WRITERS BLOCK AND JUST DECIDED TO POWER THROUGH IT TODAY. I'M SOOOO SORRY PAI ILU SORRY SOB

Hikaru nodded, not commenting. Looking towards the end of the hallway and sighing, running his hands through his hair softly. Juon shouldn't feel bad for not remembering Hiki's name, Hikaru couldn't remember the other's name either, not that Hikaru had a good memory period. "No it wasn't so bad earlier but damn now it's coming down. I think it started a little while ago but it was such a light drizzle I didn't think anything would come of it." he commented. Trying to keep talking so the thunder and lightning wouldn't get to him. He wasn't scared but there was something about being in a dark hallway at your school late while nature was freaking the fuck out outside.

"At this rate you'll get to swim back to your dorm." he joked lightly. Smiling to himself, shrugging his shoulders at the question "Teacher wanted to talk to me after school and then just... forgot I guess? Anyway he never showed up and then the power went out. "What's your name again? I don't remember, haha!"

IT'S TOTALLY FINE, NO WORRIES <33

"If it keeps up like this..." he started, glancing up over his shoulder to cast a stare out the window, before looking back to the other, "... that may not be just a joke." Hopefully it wouldn't cause flooding; wasn't it dangerous to swim in floods anyway? ... They'd get at least one day off from school for it though, if it happened, he bet. But they were likely of too high elevation for anything major enough to occur.

Juon offered a chuckle at the other's debacle, shrugging as he accompanied a reply, "Maybe they just wanted to escape the rain, too, before they got caught her like us." A sigh. "Going home must've sounded like a better deal than yelling at a student and then getting stuck at school."

Turning more fully to the other, he stared with wide eyes that were flooded with relief as he was asked his name. "Aha--I don't remember yours either. Meeting was too brief, I guess," he laughed a little dryly. "Corea Juon. I'm a third year." He offered a polite nod of greeting, a sort of nonverbal 'nice to meet you, again,' without having to actually admit to anything.
