Yeah, I ship Momo and Nitori. So what? Please enjoy.

"Nitori-senpai!" Momo all but screamed as he entered the room in tears. Nitori, who was reading on his bed, sighed and looked to the crying first-year.

"What happened this time", he asked, sitting up.

"Gou-san, sh-she...SHE TURNED ME DOWN! SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T LIKE ME THAT WAY AND IT HURTS SO MUCH SENPAI!" the youngest Mikoshiba launched himself at the smaller boy, crying harder than before. The grey haired boy sighed as he patted his roommate's back.

"It'll be fine. She wasn't the only girl you know?"

"Nitori-Senpai!"

Three months. He had been dealing with a screaming, crying, annoying Momo for three months. Every other week he would have to comfort his "friend" and remind him that just because the person he had his eyes set on didn't like him, didn't mean no one ever would. If Aiichiro was completely honest, he would say he liked the fact that his new roommate actually told him about his troubles, something Rin never did, but it was annoying for it to be the same thing all the time.

"Nitori-senpai! I've made a decision!"

"Oh yeah? And what would that be?"

"I'm done with girls!"

The blue-eyed boy looked up from his homework to stare at the otter in shock.

"You're done with girls?", he asked in disbelief. The golden-eyed boy nodded his head.

"Sorry Momo-kun, I just find that to hard to believe. I mean after 5 months of you whining and cry about how none of them like you-"

"That's just it! Maybe the fact that none of them like me is a sign that I'm not meant to be with one. So, the time for me to stop trying with them is upon us."

Aiichiro just stared at him, wondering if he should believe him or not. In the five months they've been roommates, Momo had grown on him. He was even the reason he tried so much harder at practice. In that short time Nitori had developed a crush on the former captain's younger brother. Now he was closer to having a chance to be with him? It just didn't seem right.

"Uh...Nitori-senpai?"

"Huh? What?"

"Well, uh, I was wondering, is picking up guys the same as picking up girls?" The redhead blushed as he asked.

"I-uh, I've never tried to pick up anyone so I wouldn't know. Sorry."

"Nah. It's ok. Although, if I already had someone in mind that I'm pretty close to already, should I just take the chance and ask them out?" Nitori sighed.

"Just as long as it's not Rin-senpai. He's taken already and you know that."

"D-don't worry. It's...it's not him."

"Hm? Well then go for it. The worst they can do is say no."

"Actually, it might ruin more. They might want to...trade rooms." Momotarou Mikoshiba, for once in his life, whispered shyly.

It didn't take long for Aiichiro to understand what he meant, but he couldn't let himself believe it until he heard the otter say it.

"Momo-kun, what do you mean they might wanna switch rooms?" Momo looked up with new determination.

"Senpai, I'm talking about you! Will you please go out with me?"

Nitori stared at the boy in front of him. His eyes were shining with hope and he was shaking with anticipation. Nitori searched his head for an answer once his brain processed the question that had been asked. Should he accept? Was Momo being serious? Was this just some joke that Momo would laugh about at any given minute? No. Momotarou wasn't like those jerks in middle school who teased him about his sexuality. He was special. Right?

Nitori looked into the bright golden eyes, searching for any hint of dishonesty. When all he saw was truth and slowly dying hope, he sighed.

"Momo-kun."

"Yes?" Ai smiled at him.

"I'd love to go out with you."

"Yes! Who Hoo!" Nitori was then pulled into a bone crushing hug, but he didn't care as he giggled at the other's enthusiasm. At least he was getting a chance.

I may or may not write a second chapter or a followup story about their first date. I'm not sure yet. If you would like to see that, please let me know. Hope you liked it and thanks for reading.

P.S: I don't know why, but I have a headcanon that Nitori was bullied over his sexuality at some point.
