"Some wine, Napoleon dear?" his frail old grandmother asked Napoleon Solo

"Please, Nana" he replied, holding out his glass. He had just finished a longwinded account of his first three months at the college she had insisted he went to, and of his previous and new roommate.

"So let me make sure I understand this, you haven't had any marks yet, you're still living on campus because it's closer to school, you don't have a steady girlfriend and your new roommate is Russian." She recited, scorn in her voice for the last part.

'No, I haven't had any pass marks to show you, I'm living on campus because it is closer to the parties, I don't have a steady girlfriend because there are too many to choose, but the Russian part is correct' he thought.

"Yes Nana, but he's alright" Napoleon answered

"All right? He's a Russian; they're all communists, aren't they? I don't want you to become a communist!" his grandmother stated.

Napoleon recognised all the signs of her getting into a huff.

"It's not like he leaves booklets and pamphlets around Nana, he's just practising his life philosophy. He doesn't try and convert anything, or me. Besides, he's better than my previous roommate was, he was picked up for drug smuggling" Napoleon finished.

"Oh dear, it sounds like such a bad influence for you, I mean, your still so young, they could be putting all sorts of idea's in your head. I could get you a room off campus if you want " Nana fretted.

"Nana, I'm four years older than most of the guys there! I've been out and seen some of the world. I'm sure I'll manage " he softened his comment with a smile and a peck on her cheek "I've got to go now, I've got a long evening ahead"

"Close the door behind you dear, my legs are a bit stiff today, and have fun studying." she called after him.

**********At the dorm, late that evening***********

Napoleon walked down the hall, his keys jingling in his hand. He regretted having to deceive his grandmother like this, but she just didn't understand the world today. She thought all his school was either on drugs or criminal. The fact she was right concerning a lot of them didn't worry him, as he had had enough to drink to be merry. He was actually quite close to being downright drunk, but he didn't want to admit it. Smiling he tried to find the right key for his door as he thought of Elly and Mary, twins, and downright gorgeous. They had also been at the party. As he tried to push the key into the door, it swung open. In the dark he could hear some odd noises so he turned on the light.

The sight that met him sickened him.

His roommate was on his own bed, being pushed down by a large guy. Napoleon could only see the large guy's dark hair and part of a profile but he could clearly see him holding Illya's hands in a crushing grip. He was also kissing him. Illya though was either trying unsuccessfully to wrestle himself away, or he was enjoying it to the point that he was losing control over his body. As Illya got a leg free and land a sharp kick on the other guy, Napoleon decided it was the first. Now largely sober he pulled the assailant of his roommate and got his first good look at him

So what you say? Anybody interested in Illya and Napoleon as roommates in college?
