universal_charm | [ LOCKED ] The Odd Couple

The door slammed maybe a bit to loudly as Kirk entered the dorm space he had been sharing with one Malcolm Reed for the better part of a year. Out of deeply ingrained habit he slipped out of his shoes by the door and kicked them to the side, coming around the partition into the main living space. The zipper of of his uniform went down next, casually tossing it onto his bed, though it hung off the side like a distressed damsel.

Naked from the waist up he threw open the doors to his closet, humming some song or another under his breath as he flicking through the various shirts he owned that were nice enough to require hangars. Was it going to be that kind of party? Stacy hadn't really said, but Stacy being Stacy, well, she'd like the button ups...

"Hey, don't throw the top lock tonight," he said over his shoulder to his roommate. "I don't know when I'll be back. Might want to put your ear plugs in too, just in case."

His warning given, he went back to perusing his shirts - not that he had that many to choose from, but hey, a guy had to be stylish.

There were some days he really wished he was the kind of person who could put on some music and do anything to it. As it was, he couldn't concentrate on his studied with music blasting in his ears, and so the slammed door made him twitch. Bloody door didn't need to be handled with such distaste. What did the poor door ever do to his roomie, one James Kirk?

He put down the padd he was reading from, turning in his seat to look. "You know, maybe you could end up somewhere else tonight if you're not even sure you'll be back at all. Lord knows you'll have your pick, depending on who you decide to pick up." He had never asked to live with an apparently popular partyboy, but here they were.
