Cain's Reformatory for boys [BxB]

River

True to his word Ares tormented the next day after spending the night fucking me into oblivion. I didn't know what time we stopped but I could see stars physically and metaphorically. Exhaustion had settled in my bones which caused me to sleep well into the next afternoon.

A frantic Kid woke me up by shaking my shoulders until the jolting causes me to jump awake. Our foreheads clash together and a painful sensation spreads across my head. I groan as my hands fly up to soothe the pain as Kid does the same thing while cursing.

"Fuck! If only your ears were as big as your damn head." Kid hisses out, glaring at me with a hand squeezed against his forehead.

I narrow my eyes in response, "Maybe if your head didn't take up so much space my head wouldn't have ran into it."

Kid rolls his eyes in annoyance and Ghost makes his presence known by snorting at our pleasant exchange.

"Fuck off Ghost!" Kid and I snarl in sync, turning to glare at the energetic spiky haired boy leaning against my dorm wall casually.

Ghost and Kid were wearing red shirts with black pants to match. I looked between them, blinking rapidly to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Kid even had his hair styled in similar spikes to Ghost's.

"Well aren't you two lovebirds cute." I grin as all the annoyance of being woken up escaping my body completely.

Ghost narrows his eyes at the insinuation while Kid's cheeks glow red instantly in embarrassment. Kid shakes his head before stuttering out an unconvincing lie, "This wasn't intentional until he did my hair."

I raise an eyebrow at the both of them before shrugging my shoulders nonchalantly. If they weren't going to call this romantic I wouldn't either. It wasn't my relationship to decide what something means.

"So why am I awake?" I ask as I lean back into my pillow casually.

Kid's eyes immediately turn into puppy eyes as a deep frown tugs his pink lips downwards. I become concerned as he starts talking in a disappointed tone. "Well Ares destroyed the library earlier... He tried to push a bookcase on one of the arsonists here but the guy ended up getting away in time. So Ares threw him down the stairs."

I busted out laughing before I could control myself. There wasn't a moment or a single thought as I cackled in front of the both of them. Ghost looked amused at my display while Kid was absolutely disheartened.

"I am so devastated by the library being destroyed those... poor books" I struggle to get out, trying to seem sincere. Kid treasured books and education a lot, it was important to him that books are treated with respect. They were our link to different knowledge and different worlds completely different from our own. Books were tools to learn new ideas and cultures.

But imagining a devil flailing around as they tumble down the stairs was too comical in my head.

"You are terrible" Kid whines slightly as he shoves my shoulder harshly. His cheeks were puffed up in annoyance and he reminded me of a an angry chipmunk.

"Kid he did warn us yesterday I don't know what you expected. Be glad there's no matches here he would have started a fire."

"Oh there's matches here and he's tried that before. However the sprinklers here work surprisingly well for how old this building is." Ghost speaks up finally from his spot on the wall. He looked completely indifferent as he shares this information with the both of us. While both mine and Kid's jaws were unhinged and touching the bedsheets.

"What do you mean?" Kid gasps, his mouth opening and closing like a land locked fish.

"That he tried to start a fire in here?" I ask in disbelief that someone would try such a thing.

"No one was in there but we had a plan to escape and get tacos in the closest town. It worked and was worth all the trouble by the way." Ghost explains as he shrugs his shoulders to prove he sees no problem with what took place.

"To get TACOS?" Kid yells, his disbelief covering his features completely. His eyebrows were furrowed to his hairline, his eyes and nose bridge was scrunched in confusion while his lips were parted slightly. The way he clutched his book protectively to his chest told me this bothered him deeply.

"In all seriousness-" Ghost gets cut off by the dorm room door opening up and revealing a bloody Ares.

Ares had an eerie grin and Ghost noticeably perks up when he noticed the triumphant expression on Ares face.

Ares nose was bleeding and he had a small gash that blood trailed from on his right eyebrow. His knuckles were bloody and too swollen to see any bruises that might be forming.

"You get him?" Is all Ghost says after a moment of all of us taking in Ares appearance.

Kid had shuffled closer to me subconsciously and I protectively put my legs over his lap to cage him onto the bed.

Ares takes his eyes off of me, I was the first person he looked at when he came into the room, before turning and responding to Ghost.

"He didn't see me coming." Ares baritone voice was velvet and it dripped with pride.

He flexes his arms slightly before walking into the bathroom. Ghost follows behind him and while Ares sits on the toilet Ghost begins to gather hydrogen peroxide and bandages.

Kid and I exchange looks of disbelief before we continue watching the oddly wholesome exchange between two beef cakes.

Ghost wasn't as broad as Ares, but standing a good 2 inches shorter than Ares he came pretty close. Ares had more noticeable muscle mass while Ghost was more lean. Nevertheless they both looked like they could kick anyone's ass.

Ghost buzzed around Ares almost as if this was a second nature to him. While Ares pouted as he sat on the toilet cover in silence with his knuckles facing Ghost. They were whispering things between the two of them that I strained to hear however I couldn't comprehend anything.

"Us in a different universe?" I say as I give Kid a cheeky smile. Kid snorts out a laugh before leaning his head closer to me, "Oh yeah which universe do the two of us have those kinda of muscles hm?"

"The universe we're tops?" I answer somewhat hesitantly which causes us both to giggle at the absurdity of the thought.

"As if" We say once again talking at the same time which causes us to gasp in surprise.

"Jinx you owe me a coke!" I rush out quicker than I could think. Kid chuckles more before moving over to lay his head on my lap.

"I'll sneak you one in someday." He says and we lay in bed in comfortable silence as we wait for Nurse Ghost to be done treating his devilish patient.
