One Night Stands || ForthBeam

||ELEVEN||

BEAM POV

    I groaned and rolled over in bed. The sun was shining in through the window and made it feel like my eyes were melting.

    I couldn’t really remember much from last night. All I know is that I have a killer headache.

    I heard the dorm door open and a few seconds later Forth walked in. He stopped and looked at me surprised.

    “Are you hungry?” He asked setting the food on the table. I smiled and nodded.

    “Did you stay here last night?” I asked hesitantly. Did we have sex again last night? I honestly couldn’t remember. Forth nodded.

    “You don’t remember?” He asked. I shook my head no. “Yeah. I had a lot of SOTUS things to do so I was running late. When I got there, you were extremely drunk. I offered to take you home. When we got here, you said it was already late so I might as well just stay. So, I slept on the couch.” He explained, shrugging his shoulders.

    The couch? Why did he sleep on the couch? Why couldn’t he sleep on the bed? It’s not like we haven’t before. I ignored the fact he slept on the couch and began to eat.

    “Thank you.” I said. Forth nodded and looked down, trying to hide a smile.

    “Are you going on the trip this weekend?” Forth asked, changing the subject. I chuckled and shrugged.

    “Planned on it.” I said. Forth nodded again. “Are you?” I questioned. Forth nodded.

    “I am indeed. Song and Top are dragging me along, but if you go it might actually be a lot less boring.” He said laughing.

    He wanted me to go?

    He wanted me to go.

    I was definitely going.

    “Maybe we can even drive down there together.” I suggested. Forth froze for a second. “You don’t have to. I mean, it was just a thought.” I said, embarrassed. Forth smiled and looked down.

    “It’s a great idea. Song and Top would want me in their car, but the trip with you would be more enjoyable.” He said.

    “Sounds like a plan.” I say nodding one final time.

    “Pha and Kit told me you were waiting for me last night.” Forth said. My cheeks and the tip of my ears started to heat up. I nodded slowly.

    “Yeah, we’re friends, so Ifigured we could hang out.” I lied.

    I kind of just wanted to see him, to see him. I had been thinking about him, but that wasn’t something I was gonna admit out loud.

    “Friends, right.” He whispered under his breath, probably hoping I wouldn't hear. I pretended I didn’t and continued to eat.

    “They also told me you had an exam.” He said. What was he? My boyfriend?

    He was sitting here listening to my problems and I wasn’t even asking him how he was doing. I smiled.

    “Fine. What about S.O.T.U.S?” I asked. He nodded.

    “It's good. Kind of crazy though. All lot of stuff needs to be done.” He said. I nodded and looked down.

    It was weird having him here and talking like this. Usually, it was just Pha, Kit, and me.

    At least it was until they continued to bail on me because of their boyfriends.

    And Forth had Song and Top. So, why was he here with me?

FORTH POV

    It was nice listening to Beam. Just talking with him about normal stuff, like normal…..friends.

    With Top and Song it was never like this. We talked about girls and going out, never about our days unless we were complaining.

    I was kind of glad that he was going on the trip. It would be nice to have someone to talk to.

    “Shit.” Beam said standing up quickly. “The results for the exam come out today. I have to go check.” He said rushing to put on a shirt. I laughed.

    “Okay, calm down. I’ll drive you.” I said standing up. Beam smiled and nodded.

    “Thank you.” He said grabbing his keys and walking out the door. I followed him out and waited for him to lock the door. “Lets go.” He said rushing down the stairs.

    “Please.” Beam said before opening his eyes to look at the paper. He let out a large sigh.

    “What?!” I asked running up to him. He laughed.

    “I made it.” He said. I grabbed him by the waist and and hugged him, swinging him around. “I made it.” He repeated, laughing.

    When I set him down, I still had a hold of his waist, holding him close to me. We both went silent as we stared at each other. I seemed like forever before I spoke up.

    “Let’s go celebrate.” I said. Beam smiled wide.

    “My place is closer.” He replied. Wait?

    He thought I meant sex? I meant go to this sushi place near my dorm.

    “Oh. Sure. Lets go.” I said pulling him along with me.

    Is this all we were to him? All I was to him? God, why did I care so much?
