Corbin House Chronicles: Brotherhood Unbound

Chapter 32: Sean's First Initiation with Marc and Zeb

With the room finally organized and the last boxes unpacked, Kent stretched and decided he'd go for a jog around the neighborhood, leaving Marc, Zeb, and the new pledge, Sean, alone in their freshly arranged space. Sean was still taking in the room, but he was aware of Marc and Zeb's lingering glances. There was a playful energy in the air, like they were up to something.

As soon as the door shut behind Kent, Marc and Zeb exchanged a grin and slid over to where Sean was settling on the edge of his bed.

"Alright, new guy," Zeb started, crossing his arms with a smirk. "We're roommates now, which means we gotta know some things about you—important stuff."

Sean chuckled nervously, glancing between them. "Like... what? Isn't there an initiation handbook or something?"

Marc leaned in with a mischievous look. "Nah, we prefer the more personal approach. Gets us closer to the truth."

Sean swallowed, already picking up on their teasing tone. "Alright, hit me with it."

"Let's start easy," Zeb said, eyeing Sean with a gleam in his eyes. "Tell us—what's the most daring thing you've ever done?"

Sean paused, laughing as he scratched his head. "Daring, huh? Well, there was this one time back in high school... let's just say I ended up streaking across the football field during a big game."

Marc and Zeb burst out laughing, exchanging impressed glances.

"Alright, not bad, not bad," Marc said, clapping Sean on the shoulder. "But we're gonna need to go a little deeper. How do you feel about... bonding activities? You know, real close quarters with your roommates?"

Sean raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eye. "I'd say I'm pretty open. Life's too short not to be, right?"

Marc and Zeb leaned in, a bit more intrigued now. Zeb smirked. "Alright, let's make it interesting. Truth or dare?"

Sean shrugged. "Truth."

"Alright then," Marc started, grinning. "Describe your ideal 'bonding' experience with us."

Sean's face flushed, but he took a deep breath, meeting both of their eyes with a bold smile. "Honestly? I think it would be about building trust, getting to know each other's boundaries, and seeing where things go. Maybe starting off slow... and letting things build up naturally."

Zeb whistled. "Look at that, Marc—we got ourselves a poet."

"Seems like you're up for anything," Marc replied with a teasing smirk. "Alright, I'll give you a real question: Have you ever had any... fun with more than one person before?"

Sean hesitated, glancing down as he laughed softly. "Can't say I have, but I'm open to new experiences."

The three of them shared a knowing look, the energy in the room shifting to something more intense, yet playful. Marc and Zeb took seats closer to him, their eyes gleaming with curiosity and a bit of mischief.

"Well," Marc said, a playful glint in his eye, "we've got plenty of time to introduce you to some unforgettable experiences here."

Sean laughed nervously, feeling both excited and slightly overwhelmed by his new roommates' bold teasing. He could already tell this was going to be a year filled with surprises, and he wasn't entirely opposed to it.

After a few more laughs, Marc noticed Zeb's gaze had shifted, lingering on Sean with a certain gleam in his eyes. Despite Zeb's typically calm demeanor, there was no mistaking the curiosity there.

"Don't let Zeb's innocent look fool you, Sean," Marc teased, nudging Zeb. "He's not as laid-back as he might seem."

Zeb smirked, shrugging off Marc's teasing as he turned to Sean. "What can I say? Rooming with Marc has brought out my... wilder side. But I've got to admit, I'm curious to see what you're like when things get a little, you know, fun."
