Chapter 58 - Figures - Chapter 1

The day had finally arrived. Dante arose from his bed, stretching to the sound of a small ringing clock. He rose from the floor to reach the clock by Xavien's bed, slapping down the button on top to stop the ringing. Water seemed to be running in the background before he took a glance at the time.

"It's 6:30 already?"

Suddenly, footsteps were heard approaching as the water stopped. It was Xavien who'd finally finished his morning routine. He seemed surprised to see Dante up already, since he set the clock for him specifically. He had finished washing his hair as he rubbed his towel through his hair quickly.

"You're up on time, that makes things easier."

"You seem pretty excited for today?"

"Why wouldn't I be? Fresh semester, fresh starts, and a new batch of girls attending, isn't it lovely?"

"Right…"

He turned away as Xavien continued on to getting ready for the day, brushing his hair while looking into his own personal mirror. Dante stood up fully and grabbed his own clothes as he walked to the bathroom. Thankfully, the other household habitants usually didn't wake up too early as many worked overnight. He closed the bathroom door behind him and entered the freshly used shower after placing his night clothes on the sink. The water from the spout began to pour as he pulled the lever. Steam began to rise as he began to wash himself from top to bottom, making sure not to miss a spot. Thoughts began to run through his head as he let the water run down his hair.

"It's finally the day…"

"I should be ready to attend and blend in…right?"

"Maybe I'll even make a friend! Hopefully…"

"How should I even introduce myself?"

The thoughts continued until he finally turned the lever back, stopping the water and slowly stepping out of the bath. Steam had billowed up in the room as he began to wipe the water off of himself before wrapping a towel around himself. 

He looked into the steamy bathroom mirror before wiping it off to see his own face. The earring gifted to him gleamed as it dangled from his seemingly normal ear. It's taken some time to get used to seeing his new face without its draconic features. Though it's nice to not have to worry about his appearance alongside others.

He stepped back as he went on to brush his teeth with his trusty toothbrush before spitting out the minty water. He smiled into the mirror before fully finishing his routine, drying off himself before throwing on his newly bought clothes thanks to Terra. He looked at himself once over to make sure he had everything in place.
