Today was the day of the test in order to get into his uncle's school. By the time the servant was knocking on his door he was already up and dressed, looking in the mirror. Today he had gone for a v-neck that laced up with frills on the outside and cuffs on the wrists. With straight, gray, tight dress pants and black horse riding boots made of faux leather. This time he opted for a very lazy hairstyle, tying his hair back into a very short ponytail that stuck out due to his hair not being long enough, just leaving his curtain bangs back. Long hair for men was actually a feature unique to the Zimmerman dukedom, if you had long hair and travelled outside of the dukedom everyone would immediately know where you were from. The men often had long hair because they believed long hair to "keep your neck clean" and it was also considered attractive, although men had long hair they didn't change the standards for women, as women still had long hair, but this was definitely a unique feature of the Zimmerman dukedom. When he finally got outside and into the carriage his mom, duchess Camime, and his father, duke Neo, were already waiting for him. Now you might be wondering why his name was so strange compared to the rest of his family, it was because his biological mother named him and not his father, leaving him the odd-one-out in his family. The second he sat in the carriage his doting mom immediately hugged him. He didn't really like psychical contact, but he could never say no when it was his family. All the way his mom was fussing about how handsome he looked and how he was definitely gonna have this test, if it was anyone else talking so much he would have told them to shut up or tell them that they were annoying, but his mother could never be annoying. When they got to the school it was already about 2:30 pm. He went to the office and was guided to a room with a paper, a quill, a cup of water, and a few macaroons. As he sat down he looked at the questions. He had absolutely no clue what the hell it was saying. So he just guessed, he obviously knew some of the answers though, he knew about 50-40% of the questions, so that was enough. He just trusted himself when he guessed, considering he always had great luck, maybe even otherworldly luck.

When he came back to the school the next day to hear who got in, he definitely wasn't expecting them to say his name, with a score so much higher than he could have ever hoped, 98 percent. 98. fucking. percent! This was insane!

After the announcement, instead of giving him a dorm they told him to go get measured than come back tomorrow because they had to find a person to room him with, as there were thousands of people and they had to check to see if anyone didn't have a roommate. He noticed a very pretty man who was obviously poor when he was in the waiting room to get measurements "what a shame, with a face like that he could have many hearts.." he quietly thought to himself. He waved but apparently the guy didn't notice him, what a shame...the pretty man finally got called up for his measurements "Orion!" The man- Orion, stood up and started walking. He was in a short sleeved brown tunic that had a v-neck and laced up, with long Victorian bloomers that pinched at the ankle and were black in color, probably meant for a woman, but they fit his frame quite well. He was about 5'6, not much shorter than Dionysus. His shoes were mismatched compared to his outfit. Dionysus silently hoped that Orion was his roommate, as he could only dream of rooming with such a young man. Despite him being poor he definitely had the looks.

When he finally got his dorm number he was in room 30A. He sighed and speed walked to his dorm, he was eager to find out who his roommate was. It was still fairly early in the morning, about 5:00 am, so he figured he wouldn't see his roommate until earlier, so he might as well make breakfast. 

He took the eggs out of the fridge (they had supplied every refrigerator with the basic supplies to eat), and put sesame oil into a wok and turned on the gas stove (there's a reason why they have certain modern equipment, you will find out later.) after letting the oil simmer a little he cracked the eggs into the pan, breaking the yolk and scrambling the eggs. He purposely made more than he could finish for his roommate, whoever it was he wanted to get off on a good foot. Just as he was about to finish cooking the eggs an indignant voice came from behind him "Who are you?!", though the voice was very melodious it was obviously whoever the voice belonged to was startled and maybe slightly mad. He turned around to see Orion, the one he hoped for, he was in some tiny shorts and a white silk T-shirt that had short sleeves. As he explained everything to Orion after muttering "uninformed peasants". He clearly saw Orion staring at the eggs he cooked and offered some. After he plated the food he served it to Orion. And apparently Orion was really attentive because he immediately noticed the sugar that Dionysus had added earlier. Orion started shouting. After calming Orion down and assuring him that his food wasn't poisoned the somewhat calmed down. 

All day during the classes Dionysus couldn't help but stare at Orion. Despite his somewhat sickly appearance he was attractive, at least to Dionysus, maybe it was just a passing crush, but he was fantasizing all day. 

After they got home he cooked dinner while Orion showered. When Orion was finally out of the shower he sat down the plates of food and waited for him. When Orion took a bite of food he let out a groan of pleasure. At least he knew his culinary skills were not lacking!
