Fallen in Love

Epilogue

Bently woke up that morning, slightly unaware of where he was. "Malik...?" He muttered, sitting up. "Well, morning sunshine. 'Bout time you woke up." A boy said, jumping from his spot on the top bunk bed in the other corner. "Thought they'd done gave me a dead roommate or somethin'" he said, going over to Bently. "What time is it?" Bently yawned. "Mm..." the boy looked at the clock. "'Bout one in the afternoon. You really slept long and hard." He said. 'One in the afternoon? I've never slept that late in my entire life.' Bently thought. "You missed breakfast, by the way. Luckily I decided to be nice and grabbed an extra plate for ya." He added. "Oh and by the way, I'm Cam. Also, you talk in your sleep." Cam said, making Bently blush. "Something about someone named malik? I dunno. I was half asleep myself and you were kinda mumbling, so..." Cam trailed off. Bently blushed. "Sorry...Malik's my er...my..." Bently couldn't, for some reason, bring himself to say the word. "Boyfriend?" Cam asked. Bently nodded. Cam went over to the mini fridge and pulled out a plate of pancakes. "Here. Eat up, kiddo. Then go shower, you smell like you just came out of a garbage can." Cam scoffed. Bently blushed again. "I smell that bad?" He asked, sniffing himself. "Nah dude I'm just playin'. But do go shower, I think you'll enjoy it. I've already had my shower so you can take your time in there." Cam said. By the time Cam had finished talking, Bently had finished eating. "Wow. You must've been starving." Cam laughed. "I'll go start the shower for you. Get the water warmed up." He smiled, disappearing behind the bathroom door. Bently looked down at himself. He sighed and took his hoodie off and left it on the bed. "Alright, shower's ready." Cam smiled. "Thanks." Bently said, getting up and going in the bathroom. "Woah...this bathroom is incredible." Bently muttered as he got undressed. "Way better than the bathrooms back in Arcadia City.." he muttered, stepping under the hot water.
Bently sighed softly as he got out of the shower. He usually hated showers, but this time, he didn't want it to end. Cam knocked on the door. "Can I come in? You decent?" He asked. "J-just a second!" Bently quickly replied, drying off. He slipped his boxers on and put on the robe that was hanging on the door. "Now you can come in." He said. Cam opened the door and walked in. "Hey. You look comfy." Cam laughed. Bently softly smiled. "I am..." he muttered. "I noticed your Panic At The Disco hoodie on your bed, you like that band?" Cam asked. "I think 'like' is an understatement. I love Panic." Bently said. Cam smirked. "Y'know...I happen to be friends with a certain Ryan Ross." He said. Bently had to grip the counter to stop himself from fainting right then and there. "You know Ryan Ross?!" Bently practically yelled. Cam laughed. "Yep. He's pretty shy, but once he warms up to you, that guy talks nonstop." Cam said. "Hey maybe I can arrange a meeting with him sometime." Cam added. "Oh we're definitely gonna be friends." Bently said. Cam smiled. "Good. Was hoping you'd end up saying that."
