Khaos

Chapter Seven

Ronan Volkov 

He doesn't notice he's forgotten clothes until the end of his shower. He peaks his head out of the bathroom door, a slight blush on his face. "Can-can you get me some clothes?" He shyly asks.

You'd think he'd be less embarrassed from all the other stuff he does so shamelessly.

I grab the outfit I already got for him when I realized he forgot it. He snatches it quickty and slams the door closed. By the time I finish cleaning his and Nikolai's mess, he stumbling out of the bathroom. 

What did Nikolai do to him? I make a mental note to scold them both tomorrow. I help him into his bed and he snuggles up into his blankets

Scully jumps onto his bed and lays with him. Cute.

When I realize I won't be able to get anymore sleep tonight I decide to do more cleaning and by the time it's morning I've cleaned the whole dorm and made breakfast. Once I've eaten I leave the rest of the pancakes and sausages out for Caddell. I change into a pair of black sweats and a white Nike t-shirt. I pull on my black Adidas and walk of the dorm hall.

The whether was cold and sharp, The snow hitting me like needles. Cold and painful. It keeps my mind occupied from the thoughts of Caddell.

He had no clue who I was or why I was here. He had no clue what was to come but I hadn't let it leave my mind for years. I run to keep my mind occupied on other things.

The cold air sipping my face just the way it always does. Without a sweater or jacket to keep me warm, I feel sick quickly. I'm panting by the second mile. But I keep my brain numb and my legs moving. Just like father taught me.

By the end of my run I collapse in the snow. I finally let my mind wonder again as I stare into the starry sky. My body is numb and each breath I take makes my throat throb in pain.

Not much longer. I remind myself. Not much longer.

Papa was right, this feels nice.

I make it back to the room before the sun rises. As usual-it's late to rise. By the time I get there Nik is barging out of my dorm with Caddell hot on his heels. I turn slightly to the side to let them pass. The room is already slightly messy. I let out a groan.

After finding a new shirt, black jeans and boxers, I take another shower to rid of the cold sweat smell that's coating my now pale skin.

I take a warm shower to help fight off the cold that's bound to come. I don't need to spend anymore time sick. Especially not with a Caddell here.

Rosmerta meows and claws at the door until I finish.

"Hold on, Merta." I tell her. She continues to claw and meow. Annoying kitty.

I walk out of the bathroom with only my boxers and jeans on. I pick up Rosemerta as she continues to give my little sassy meows.

I pull her to my chest and walker her around the room to keep her satisfied and happy. She give me little happy chirps with every couple of steps I take. She burrows deeper into my arms until I have to pull away to get dressed and ready for today's classes. She meows in protest and claws at legs. "No, Merta. I'm busy, you can wait. I'll give you all the love you want later." I tell the cat.

She meows angrily and walks away swaying her tail. I shake my head with a smile and dress for the day.

"Ronan, you're needed in the office." Braddy stops me in the hall.

I give him a nod. "Tell him I'll be a bit late I haven't eaten yet." I lie because it is way to early to deal with father's demands. 

Braddy nods and walks away.

I walk to the cafeteria and eat a second breakfast just to occupy myself.

Nikolai plops down next to me halfway into my meal with Caddell and Ciarian. "So, Ro, I've decided to take it upon myself to introduce Khaos to the group since you obviously don't plan to." Nikolai informs me.

"Is that so?" I ask.

"Mhm" he nods with a proud smile. "I know how much you hate people especially newcomers so l figured I'd take the load off your shoulders and show him around for you."

I smile back at him. "Well, you do as you please already. No need to ask anymore." I say the last part sarcastically.

He rolls his eyes and starts shoving things onto Silas' plate.

"'Ro? Really? To is the best you could come up with for him?" Caddell asks.

"Well he shot down every other nickname I came up with. This was the only one he didn't glare at me for." Nik explains.

Caddell smiles at me with a tittle evil glint in his eyes and I already know he's going to say something in going to hate. "Un lobo" He says, smiling like he's a genius.

Nik looks at him with wide eyes. " You know Spanish?"

Caddell shrugs like it's no big deal. "I told you, I'm not as white as I look."

"Well how was I supposed to know the rest was Hispanic?" Nik whines. I roll my eyes at their stupid argument.

"So you Mexican or something, then?" Ciarian asks. 

Caddell looks at him with a little laugh and Nik shakes his head and smacks him on the arm. "Dude, not every Hispanic is Mexican."

"I didn't even say that, bro. He just looks Mexican." Ciarian tries to defend himself.

Nikolai smacks him on his upper arm and the two start quietly arguing.

I roll my eyes and eat a fry. Caddell looks at me with a little what-the-fuck look and I shrug because it's typical of Nik and Ciarian to argue and hit each other. Nik is usually a pretty hyper and crazy guy, always up for anything. Meanwhile, Ciarian is quite the opposite. He hated all those things. Doesn't like loud and crazy people, close minded and a beautiful somewhat lazy guy.

It's a mystery how those two are even friends to begin with.

Eventually their arguing stops and Nik and Caddell go back to their conversation like nothing happened.

"So, Ro." Caddell grabs my attention again. "I hear you're somewhat of a big deal around here.

"He's not really. Just a big people hater." Nik chuckles.

"So then what's up with that?"

"Look, Caddell. I know your a big guy where you're from, with the famous family and all, but that doesn't mean any of us here have to answer to you."

"Okay then. I'm starting to feel like maybe that is the reason you hate me. My 'fame and all'."

"Fame has nothing to do with this,"

"He's just mad about the whole roommate thing." Nik snickers.

"Trust me, the whole roommate thing has nothing to do with this."
