A stack of papers landed on the table in front of Robin. On the top page, the title read "Terms of Agreement." Robin looked at the title, reading it over and over, staring almost blankly at it. He then looked up from the papers to the person who handed him the stack. She looked back at him expectantly. He then looked back at the papers and snickered.

"And what exactly is this, ma'am?" The Sylveon asked.

The woman in the room, an elderly Alakazam named Houdin, as well as the dean of Jubilife University, sighed as she re-adjusted her glasses.

"This, Mr. Pluto, is an agreement form." She replied matter-of-factually.

Robin rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair, his arm going behind his head. "I mean, I can see that, but what for? And don't be snarky and say read the papers, smart-assery isn't your forté, all due respect ma'am."

Houdin sighed again in frustration. "Mr. Pluto, this is a very serious matter. You've already nearly gotten kicked out of this school four times since your freshman year, I'd rather we not do it again."

"No promises."

The dean scowled. "As you know, you are one of the most prideful students at this college. Despite your disabilities and... flamboyant nature, you still manage to show a smile around the school."

Robin raised an eyebrow, curious as to why exactly Houdin was starting the explanation off with that, but he kept silent.

"Because of this, I have an important task for you." She continued. "We have a new student enrolling here at Jubilife. His name is Kuyomi Luna." She psychically moved a picture towards Robin. The picture featured what looked to be an Umbreon who was nervous about having his picture taken. One thing that caught Robin's eye was the Umbreon's own. Instead of both being red, one seemed to be red while the other blue. After this thought though, it was Robin's turn to scowl.

"So what exactly do I need the agreement form for? What, you're afraid I'm going to sexually harass him or something? Also, why are you specifically asking me? You think just cause we're of the same evolution family, we basically belong together? Seriously that's some prejudicial bullshit."

Houdin sighed once again, fiddling with her moustache as her patience was thinning. She never did enjoy talking to Robin, and he didn't like her all too well either. She wasn't the most fond of his girly nature and physique, nor how much he just loved to point stuff out, but in this day and age, she couldn't get away all too well with specifically targeting him cause of it.

"No, that's not it, Mr. Pluto. This isn't about your flamboyancy, nor your... interests. Mr. Luna is a very special Umbreon. He's in need of special assistance and care, and the school board believes you would be the best to provide such needs."

That wasn't the answer Robin was expecting. He looked at the picture again. Besides the eyes, he seemed like a normal Umbreon, if not a bit nervous and skinny. Maybe it had something to do with the Umbreon's mind?

"Special needs?" He asked. "What kind of special needs?"

"He was born with the rare color-disorder known as tritanopia. Because of this, he can only see things in different shades of red and blue. I believe now you understand another reason as the board thinks you're the best to help him."

Robin was definitely surprised at hearing that. Color-disorders were pretty rare amongst pokemon, especially tritanopia. He took a second to study Houdin, making sure that she wasn't just pulling his ribbons to make him feel sympathetic. Despite her permanent look of annoyance, he couldn't find any hint of lying. Looking down again at the stack, he hummed and nodded.

"Alright, so what exactly do they need me to do?" Robin inquired.

Houdin, glad that she was finally getting somewhere with Robin, smiled slightly. "He's going to be your new roommate. The board has assigned you to a room on the third floor of the student dorms. Do not worry, it is bigger than your current living, and you are allowed five minutes late into class if necessary. Your job is to make sure he gets to his classes safely and on time, as well as be someone he can rely on. Do you think you can do that?"

Robin smirked. "You had me at being allowed late into class."

"Only five minutes, Mr. Pluto."

"Yeah, yeah, don't get your moustache in a twist, I'll sign the damn papers."

It was now Houdin's turn to smirk and chuckle. "Really now? I haven't even told you the punishment if you fail."

Robin waved his ribbons in the air. "Yeah, yeah, I get kicked out and all that jazz."

She clicked her tongue in response. "Not just that, but since you'll have caused harm to a disabled person, you will also lose all the credits you've had since you've joined."

The Sylveon froze, turning at the Alakazam with a shocked expression. "Are you shitting me?"

Houdin psychically lifted up several pages, followed by highlighting a quote from the selected paper. "'If Robin Pluto is to fail at accomplishing any of the given tasks, making the living for Kuyomi Luna unsatisfactory and/or dangerous, as determined by Kuyomi Luna himself, then Robin Pluto will be removed, suspended, and permanently banned from the Jubilife University campus and all its classes, as well as lose all recorded college credits, as stated in the Protection of Disabled Pokés Act.'"

The Sylveon growled in disapproval. He knew about the Protection of Disabled Pokés Act, thanks to himself being a disabled pokemon due to his missing arm. However, because he had found ways around his disabilities via his ribbons, it never really affected him until now. The act was supposed to legally excuse some things and give leeway to disabled pokemon based on what disability they had, as well as punish those who hurt the disabled. Robin didn't like acting like his missing arm was a weakness, so he rarely used any of these advantages, nor did he really know much about them. He shook his head and sighed.

"Fine, you win." He finally said.

Houdin smiled triumphantly, watching Robin read through the papers before finally signing them and sealing the deal. She hoped, with luck, the Umbreon would find Robin's lifestyle and sass unsatisfactory and request a new person, leading to the Sylveon to finally be out of her hair. As Robin read through and signed on the other hand, he was looking quite forward to see just who this cute little Umbreon was. Maybe all he needed was someone to really show him what life is full of.

"I don't know, I just think I'm kind of being forced to do this. I mean, you know how much 'Din doesn't like me." Robin explained over the phone. "It's like she thinks just cause I'm a little gay that this one person is going to get me expelled."

"A little gay?" Chuckled the voice on the other side of the phone. "Rob, even compared to me, you're probably the gayest one of our family."

"Xuez you know what I mean." Robin sighed. After the chat with the dean and the signing of the agreement forms, Robin had returned to his soon to be old dorm room. He was packing his stuff up, preparing the move up to his promised third floor room, and he decided to vent his frustration out to his sister, Xuezha. As he moved the last bit of his clothes to the second box he had, he gave out another frustrated sigh.

"Xuezha, you ever taken advantage of the PDPA before?"

Xuezha didn't respond immediately. Instead, Robin could hear several yells and grunts, as well as smacks and things getting hit. The young Glaceon was born with blindness in both eyes, but that didn't stop her. Through assistance of her father, a Taekwondo master, she managed to be able to see through her other senses. She incorporated practices into her TKD sessions, creating her own fighting form she called Xuezdo. Robin just so happened to be a part of just another one of her practices.

"The PDPA huh?" She asked finally, a little breathless. "Yeah, especially in middle school. You'd be surprised how often 8th grade guys liked to try to take advantage of a blind girl. I may not have been that strong then, but I wasn't stupid."

Robin flopped onto his bed, sighing. "I guess that's smart. I don't know, I get why they made the bill, but I thought it was supposed to help me, not become my worst nightmare."

"I thought your worst nightmare was you losing all of us through the murder of a giant feral Beedr-"

"Can we not Xuez? I'm already stressed out."

Xuezha gave a yell and then chuckled. "Alright, I'm sorry Robby. Don't stress about it, ok? You may be a little too outgoing, but you're a hella sweet guy. Just respect the Umbreon and his wishes and you'll be fine, alright?"

Robin rubbed his eyes and breathed deeply, trying to follow what his sister said and relax. "Fine, I'll try. Guess it's not fair to judge the guy without even meeting him first."

"Yeah and besides... Maybe this'll be the one you don't want just a one night stand with?"

That brought out a laugh from Robin. He pushed himself off the bed and began to fold up his personal blankets. "Maybe Xuez. We can only hope."

The Glaceon gave one last sound of affirmation before Robin could hear ice shattering. "Alright big bro, I gotta go. Oh and one last thing: if this Umbreon does manage to bring harm to you in any way, I will not hesitate to kick his ass, no matter what the act says."

Robin facepalmed and laughed "Xuez, you've barely started your senior year. I'm pretty sure no one wants you going through high school all over again, or worse not get your diploma at all."

"I will fucking end him."

Xuezha was a very protective sister. Robin was basically her role model, and she would do just about anything she could to make sure he was happy. She became especially protective after she gained her black belt, much to Robin's distaste. However, he wasn't going to stop her. She was a very independent woman, she'll be fine.

"Alright then Xuez," Robin continued. "I'll call you later and tell you how it goes, ok?"

"Sounds good. Also don't scare him off, ease him in. You don't know whether he'll even like you or not."

"Alright I get it Xuezha. See ya."

"Annyeong."

Robin shut off his phone and sighed for the who-knows-how-many-eth time. He gave a double check to his room, making sure he didn't leave anything, and a triple check for his special box. With everything packed into the now three moving boxes, he called up his Empoleon and Gardevoir friends and made his way to the second floor.

Once the three had finally made it to the room, the Gardevoir, Ray, psychically opened the door. The room was, as promised, much larger than those on the first floor. Two separate beds, closets, and desks sat on separate sides with a bathroom on one side and a kitchen on the other. Once everything was placed on one side, Robin waved goodbye to the two friends as they left.

Once he was alone again, he looked around again. Colors were about the same as the dorm he had gotten at the beginning of the year, however there was another sense of familiarity. Curious, he ventured over to the walls above one of the beds. He examined it for a short while, looking for something specific. Before he could finish however, a knock was heard at the door. Startled, Robin went over to the door, slowly opening it. He had his suspicions as to who it was, and it seemed he was correct. There, at the entrance of the door, stood an Umbreon with mismatching colored eyes. Only one thought came to Robin's mind.

Holy shit he is cute.
