Lucius was on his back again, not because he was tired after having packed everything the night before but because of his morning training. “Get up, D. You plan to sleep there till you have to leave~?” With a bit of playfulness to her voice, his mom chirped as she looked at him, just after flipping him onto the mat. It was pretty early for training like this, but his mom insisted that it’ll be the last time so she had to “put him into his place” as she called it.
“At least she’s fine now.” Lucius thought, after all she was greatly displeased with him going to that university. She thought he should go to a more military oriented school or just join the army. She was and always will be a military woman at heart. Still this was a vast improvement than a few years ago when she would be happiest to just have him in hands reach all the time.
“Yeah, I could just sleep like this.” He told her but before she could retort, he jumped back to his feet and tried flipping his mom…. Which ended with him on his back. “You get an A for effort. Again.” She smiled and this their training continued for the next hour or so.
After training and a shower, Lu packed some stuff into his duffle bag, mostly things he needed on a day by day basis. His clothes and some gadgets were already packed in two boxes he brought downstairs the day before. As he looked over his room for things he missed while packing his gaze fell on a box on his desk. “This wasn’t here before training.” He muttered. Maybe it’s something his dad put there. As he picked it up he noticed a small note next to it.
“Hope you have a swell time at the Uni. Best of luck. – Eddie”
Lucius looked at the box and as he suspected, inside was a knife, but it was something Eddie undoubtedly put a lot of work in, it was plain looking, however it was balanced, not to mention sharp. It came with a sheath which made it look more like a long thin box, than a knife. However this was what was best, he didn’t need to start explaining why he had knives with him. However instead of putting it into his bag, he slid it into his pocket, thereby storing it, like some of the other stuff like that, in his “inventory” as he called the storage he could use thanks to his ability.
He didn’t have a hard time concealing this ability, after all he rarely used it as is, and never in front of other people. Still his mom sometimes questioned him on the unusual packing ability he had, but at the time, he usually said it was thanks to her drills so she left it at that. He sighed, somehow he was glad to leave, but at the same time he already missed the daily routine. He picked up his bag and violin case then headed downstairs.
“Catch.” His mom threw something at him, good thing his bag was hanging from his shoulder or he’d drop it. “Aren’t these…” He looked dumbfounded at what he just caught. “Keys to the piglet? Yes, I’m giving it to you.” His mom finished and smiled. “But you love that car.” He protested, but she shushed him. “Just take it D. After all you’ll need it more than me.” She winked. “Thanks, I guess.” He was still shocked. The Piglet as they called the car was something his mom had for a very long time. Now it was his.
“I never understood why you call it that, it’s more of a boar than a piglet. Anyway, time to go son, I know you don’t have class but still, no tardiness.” His dad interjected, smiling. “Yeah, I’m going.” Lucius put on his hoodie, same color as always, black with red stitchings, matching his cargo pants and boots. It made him look a bit wider than he was, also masking his shapes, but that is what he wanted. “The boxes are already in the car.” His dad mentioned.
Outside, the Piglet stood in all of its dark glory, it was a black Volvo TP21 Sugga. It looked more like a boar than a piglet. “I’ll be going then” he said as he packed his bag and the violin into the car. “Stay safe Lucius, both of us love you.” It was his mom, she smiled and held her husbands’ hand. “I love both of you too.” Lu answered and got into the car. He was slightly shaken, in a good way. His mom hasn’t called him by his mane for a long time.
The piglet roared as he turned the key, and he started his journey. It took a couple of hours for him to get the the Uni, still he arrived at about noon. Parking his car got him a few curious stares from the people around, but he ignored it, better they stare at the car than at him. He made his way to the lobby and went straight to get his key. “Lucius D’issan.” He handed his ID to the woman. “I’m here for my key.” He smiled trying to look as friendly as possible. “…” The woman looked up at him without word and stared at him for a while. “My key?” He coughed to get her attention. “Ah, yes, sorry.” The woman handed him his key and he turned around to leave. “I need to get some glasses.” He thought, again once people notice his eyes they either try ignoring it or stare. “Well I never asked for this eye color.” His eyes were a mix between yellow and orange, a rare color, but he had to live with it, even though it was a bit more trouble than it was worth.
Lucius got his bag and violin case from the car and made his way to the dorms, he figured he could get the boxes later. The day was still ahead of him. He made his way to room 307, his room, it made him wonder who he’d be crashing with. He hoped it would be someone who wouldn’t pry too much. He opened the door and noticed someone was already there so he’d meet his roomie earlier than he anticipated. He took of his shoes and pushed the bedroom door open. “Hello, I’m Lucius D’issan, seems we’ll be rooming together, nice to meet you.” Lu smiled and outstretched his hand in a friendly manner, hoping this wouldn’t end like usual.
