Roommates ~ Red son x mk

Mistrust

Red Sons POV:

"What the hell?!"

My stomach drops at the sound of Tim's voice. Through the hazy tendrils of sleep still grasping at my mind, I make out MK asleep next to me, his head resting on my chest.

Oh shit.

"First you leave me at the arcade, now I come back to this?" Tim says. He sounds furious. "I cant believe you! You are a filthy cheater!"

MK scrambles away from me. My side feels cold without him. "Tim! I-I swear this isn't what it looks like!"

Tim turns to MK, seething. "I trusted you, and you turn around and sleep with my boyfriend! You people make me sick. I knew the minute you weren't in our dorm that you would be here."

Helplessness floods me. I know this is it. Tim will leave me and I will be alone again. We will never be the same. And I ruined MK's friendship too. I feel awful. Tim storms out of the room and slams the door behind him.

"I'm sorry MK," I say at last.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. Don't worry," he says, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear before flinching back awkwardly. I flush.

Suddenly, MK groans. "Where am I going to sleep? That's gonna be sooo awkward!"

I cringe. "You can sleep here if you want. I don't mind, but..."

"But what?"

"There's...only one bed. I mean, it's fine! I can sleep on the floor or you can if that makes you more comfortable but whatever works it's fine!" I say in a rush.

MK turns red. "Oh n-no it's fine! I can sleep on the floor!"

I think for a second, before turning to MK for his advice. "MK...do you think I should go after Tim? Or should I give him some space? I don't know what to do, he probably hates me. Maybe if I just explain nothing happened, we were just watching Shrek and-"

MK places his hands on mine to calm me down. "Relax, Red Son. I'm sure he'll understand."

I'm doubtful. Nonetheless, I take a deep breath and smooth my hair back. "I should go face him, I'll be back."

"Good luck," MK says with a small wave.

I walk over to Tim's dorm across the hall and softly knock. I can hear him talking, though I don't know to who. It sounds like he's on the phone. I can barely make out a man's voice. I knock again. No response. I slowly push the door open. "Tim?"

Tim's pacing the house talking on the phone, but as soon as he sees me he hangs up. "You."

"Listen, Tim, I know what this looks like but please believe me when I say that nothing happened. We just watched Shrek! I'm really sorry I left without telling you and made you stay there alone. I can't change the past, but I can ask for forgiveness. Please, forgive me. I'm sorry. I love you," I say, grasping at hope.

Tim looks thoughtful for a moment. Then, he looks directly at me. "It's fine, I love you too."

I am taken aback. He walks forward to me and embraces me, planting a kiss on my neck. I bury my face in his hair, but all I think of is MK. I draw back.

"I have to...go practice now. Thank you so much for forgiving me. I'm sorry. I love you," I say as I kiss his cheek.

"Don't let me catch you sneaking around with MK again, okay babe?" Tim says, the slightest trace of a threat in his voice.

I gulp. "Of course."

I walk back over to my dorm room, even though I have no intent on practicing. I need to talk to MK. I open the door and my heart drops. MK looks heartbroken. I run over to him and embrace him, my arms wrapping around his hips.

"What's wrong?" I mutter into his fluffy black hair.

His arms clasp behind my neck. I feel his lips brush against my chest for a second before he pulls away and places his hands on my shoulders. His jaw is set, though there is longing behind his eyes.

"I need to tell you something...about Tim."
