And so, of course they'd be in here; it's not like they'd built a second dorm or anything. We'd probably be separated somehow. But still. I didn't really mind having them about, but they could be potentially problematic, both before and after they figured out I wasn't into them. And weren't nearly as nice to look at as girls.<br/><br/>But at least I had Akiko.<br/><br/>I felt her hand on mine. It was good, touching like that. But, I could feel her stress through her grip. Her speed in letting go suggested it hadn't been a voluntary gesture, more a reflex.<strong>"It's okay. You can hold on if you want."</strong>I swept my eyes across the room.<strong>"Yeah, it's a little surprising, but we'll be fine."</strong>I gave a nod of greeting to the various people in the room.<strong>"Should be a list of dorm assignments somewhere..."</strong><br/>
