The l.e.d. display on an unseen alarm clock struck something around 6 a.m. and the buzzing caused something else to stir in the dark. There was a thump, then a crash, then an object was hurled across the room, striking a light switch. The room was lit by black light and a pale young man sat up and stretched. The windows were covered in thick black cloth, and the room was covered in oddly luminous paintings. Most of them abstract and oddly alluring, others had shapes and symbols. The faces of warped screaming faces and what appeared to be buildings tumbled against gravity in their frames.
The youth rose slowly, felt around for a moment, then slipped on a thick black cloak before stumbling around his unmade bed. The guy walked to the bathroom, grabbed a toothbrush and brushed his teeth. He turned on the water for a bath then returned to the bedroom as the water warmed to make his bed. He walked out of the bedroom only for the front door to burst open, allowing two of his classmates to spill in. The females shouted into the apartment as he stood in front of the door covered in only the cloak.
"Sorry for intruding L, we just wanted to walk our favorite handicapped person to school," Lied the taller of the two. The sunlight spilled in through the open door. The landing outside wasn't good for blocking the unforgiving rays.
The cloaked youth stepped back, his bare feet having been only an inch from the sun's reflection on the floor. He looked up, his blank unfocused black eyes wide. The females went silent and still, he normally hid his face, and always covered his eyes. The two females shivered unconsciously as they stood allowing the vicious sun to spill into the dark sanctuary. The young man sighed and spoke finally.
"So what did you want, I was about to take a bath," the young man spoke, the girls shook free from their shock.
"I was.. well I heard that you gave really accurate love fortunes an..." the shorter girl asked.
"He won't accept you. He likes taller women with long legs. HE actually likes... well never mind. You can go now," normally he would charge a fee, but he was only inches from a searing bath of sunlight and they hadn't knocked. Did all young girls act this way? The pale male walked away, expecting them to leave, and as he entered the bathroom the door shut and they were gone.
"Why they just ask at school?" the young man asked himself as he dropped the cloak and slipped into the water.
The water hit his pale skin... and the boy sitting in the dark stopped stretching. He sighed thinking back on the confrontation that was about to start his day. He snatched up his cloak, walked past the door to the bath and straight to his front door. He wrapped the cloak around him, allowing it to trail behind him and flipped up the hood. He shoved open the door as the two females reached his landing up on the third floor and shouted.
"He's gonna say no, you owe me a strawberry shortcake on Monday," Lihat slammed the door and went on with the rest of his morning routine.
