And They Were Roommates ~ Wesper

Chapter Five

Wylan POV

When he awoke, Jesper's head was in his lap and his arms were wrapped around Wylan's waist. Wylan immediately felt his face colour, but he couldn't move. Jesper was sleeping. So he just sat there, dark arms wrapped around his waist, letting Jesper hug him. It felt quite nice, but he wondered what Jesper would think when he woke up. That Wylan was some sort of creep, watching people while they sleep?

Wylan froze as Jesper stirred, squeezing his arms even tighter around Wylan.

Wylan decided he wouldn't wait like this anymore, so with a pink face, he lightly shoved Jesper. Jesper murmured a bit but squeezed tighter still.

"Hey, Jesper. Wake up."

Jesper still wouldn't wake up, so Wylan had to take extreme measures.

"Jesper! Wake! Up!" Wylan said as he pushed Jesper off him.

Jesper looked up blearily, scrawled across the floor.

"Whaddya do that for?" His words were slurred together by fatigue.

"You... uh..." It sounded like a stupid reason now, but it had been an issue then.

Wylan just gestured towards his face, which still had the remnants of a blush.

"Ah." Jesper laughed. "I've been told I get rather cuddly when I'm asleep."

"Yeah... it was, uh-"

"It's fine. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable."

"No, it was fine I just- uh," Wylan tried to come up with a plausible excuse. "I had to go to the bathroom."

Wylan got up and walked to the bathroom. He stayed there for what he thought was a believable amount of time before coming back into the living room. When he got back, Jesper was talking with Mr Brekker.

Wylan was about to go back to his room, but Jesper called for him. Shit.

"Wylan, have you two met? This is Kaz."

He was silent for a moment. "Um, yeah, we've, uh, we've met." He didn't mention how their last conversation had ended with Wylan having a nervous breakdown.

Kaz stared at him for a moment (Wylan was pretty sure he felt the room get colder). Then he turned back to Jesper.

Wylan kind of just stood there awkwardly, watching them talk.

Then Jesper pulled his attention away from Kaz and to Wylan.

Wylan felt kind of in the spotlight. "Er... Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You're being awkward. Get over here, you're cuter when you're smart."

Wylan blushed and shuffled over sitting down on the couch, as far away from Kaz as he could be.

Jesper could obviously see that Wylan and Kaz had some tension.

"So..." Jesper said, drawing out the o. "You two have obviously talked. I swear Kaz isn't as scary as he acts."

"I am absolutely as scary as I act."

Wylab lied through his teeth. "No, it was fine. It wasn't much."

Kaz sent a look his way. Saints, he's creepy.

Jesper was looking at Wylan then Kaz, back and forth.

"Don't stare, Jesper. It's rude," Kaz snapped.

Jesper raised his eyebrows and looked away, in an overly dramatic way.
