“Uh, excuse me…” You ask somewhat awkwardly, “Are you a guy or…?”
Saku chuckles a bit, “Is it that hard to tell?” He says, fortunately not sounding too offended. He opens the crib and sits down on the bed, before lying back. “I am a boy. Sorry for not telling you before. Do you want me to show you?” He looks back at you, a teasing expression on his face. You didn’t notice it before, but looking closer, he does have some, scarce amounts of facial hair.
“N-No, no, it’s fine! I believe you. I was just, uh, checking…” You stammer out nervously. Saku smirks. “They wouldn’t let guys and girls share dorm rooms, y’know?” You scratch the back of your head. Why didn’t you think of that before?
You step into the room, closing the door behind you. “A-Anyway… So, what are you doing here? Uh, at the school I mean…” You ask, attempting to break the ice. “Well, I heard that they had a good sumo wrestling program here.” He says, glancing up at the mobile hanging on the ceiling above his crib.
“Sumo?” You reply, probably sounding more surprised than you should’ve. You always thought of sumo wrestling as fat guys in diapers slapping each other. You never understood the appeal, and besides that, he looks way too thin to be a sumo wrestler. You almost mistook him for a girl at first.
“Yeah. As you can probably tell I’m pretty scrawny right now. I’m hoping that they can help with that.” He says as he gets off the bed. “My dad and older brother are both sumo wrestlers. I’m hoping to try and follow in their footsteps; I just need to start gaining weight first. It sucks having a high metabolism sometimes.” He laughs. “Do you want to join the sumo club with me? We could spar.”
“I…I’ll have to think about that…” You say, not really wanting to turn down his request, but not really thinking you’d be too interested. “I’ll have to get adjusted first, especially with… this?” You motion toward your babyified dorm room. “Is this… normal?” Saku shrugs, “I don’t know. Personally, I think it’s pretty cute.” He laughs. You smile a bit. He actually seems surprisingly nice. Even though you’re pretty confused, Saku at least seems to be taking it well.
“I’m not too sure about the uniforms though…” You mutter as you continue looking at them.
Just then…
