all fun & games

You had fallen asleep on the couch, your phone's alarm waking you up. You quickly looked around for it and swiped it up off of the ground, turning off the alarm. Your schedule was much different than everyone else's and you felt bad for forgetting to turn your alarm off.

The apartment was silent again and you turned to look out the window to be greeted by a frosty white world.

"I wonder..." you murmured and checked the univeristy's website, seeing that school had been canceled today. 

You smiled to yourself and flopped back down onto the big couch, going through all the things you could do today.

"Hey, you up?" Niccolo walked into the room with a white undershirt and gray sweats on. He had bright red slippers that scuffed along the wooden floor as he headed into the kitchen nook.

You walked over to the ledge and leaned your elbows onto it, your face resting in your hands. "Are you making breakfast?" You waggled your eyebrows and Niccolo chuckled at that.

"What else would I be doing? My cooking is the only thing that'll wake Sasha and the rest of the apartment up," Niccolo teased with confidence, pulling out the carton of eggs from the fridge.

"Whatcha making?" You asked and Niccolo shrugged, turning to look at you and whispering, "You'll see."

You decided you'd take a shower while everyone else was still asleep, stepping into the bathroom and locking the door. You looked inside the shower to see if there was a scent that was just clean and not manly smelling. Fortunately, there was a bottle that was just called "Rushing Falls" that smelled pretty nice for all genders.

Turning the shower on, you took your clothes off and stepped in, quickly washing up and cleaning your hair, your fingers scrubbing your scalp to make sure you'd get all the oil and dirt out. Once you were finished showering, you dried yourself off and put back on the clothes you slept in. You didn't have anything else and you were bound to find your way back to your dorm soon.

Somebody started knocking at the door as you searched for a clean toothbrush and you opened the door to see Connie rubbing at his eyes. He smiled, his goofy grin making your heart skip a beat.

"Do you have a clean toothbrush?" You asked as he stepped into the bathroom and he pursed his lips in thought, opening the medicine cabinet and shuffling some things around.

He handed you an orange toothbrush still in it's cheap plastic wrapping, the kind they hand out at parades. You furrowed your brows in curiosity as you took the toothbrush from his hand.

"We went to some parade in a small town this past summer and the local dentist place was handing them out. Never used though," he winked and pulled back the shower curtain.

"Whoa whoa whoa, you can shower when I leave," you laughed as you grabbed his arm, stopping him from pulling his shirt off.

"Or I can just get in the shower first, take my clothes off, and then start," he compromised and you shook your head, letting go of his arm and letting him do whatever.

So as Connie showered, you brushed your teeth, holding in your laughter as Connie hummed tunes extremely out of pitch.

When you opened the bathroom door, Marco was standing outside of it with one brow raised in questioning. Your cheeks flushed but you pushed past him, and into the living room again, smelling what seemed like warm bread and cinnamon.

Niccolo was whippingnup frosting in the kitchen and your stomach growled hungrily, revealing you. He turned around and laughed but waved you over.

"The cinnamon rolls should be done any second now. Can you pull them out while I continue with this frosting?" You nodded your head yes and grabbed the mitt from the counter and waited for the timer to go off.
