two.

i screamed loudly, the man whom i was screaming at jumped up, i immediately put my hands over my chest.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE? STOP LOOKING AT MY BOOBS!"

"IM NOT LOOKING AT YOUR BOOBS! I'M BEN! A FRIEND OF JOE'S!"

'ben' had a deep british accent and had his hands up in defense, i stared at him, shocked, joe invited him, the fucking bastard.

"i- um, joe? invited you? to my apartment? that he just moved into today?"

the blonde nodded, a bewildered expression on his face, his green eyes wide in fear and shock.

"stay right fucking there, i'm going to kill a rat."

i turned to leave, my hand balled into a fist.

"don't kill him! please! i need him for answers in my tests!"

i turned back to him, "what?"

"oh," came a voice, "you used me for test answers, ben?"

we both turned to see joe, a hurt expression on his face.

he looked from me to ben, "so you two have met, i see."

his words set off an alarm bell in my head, "yeah, AND ANOTHER THING! DON'T. INVITE. PEOPLE. TO. MY. HOUSE. IF. I DON'T. KNOW. ABOUT. IT. FIRST."

i punched him in the arm between every word, he winced, shielding me away from his injured arm.

"alright! alright! calm your tits!"

i smacked him again, "fuck your small ass! i'm going to go dry my hair, touch anything and i'll cut your dick off while you sleep and feed it to my dog!"

he nodded, i stuck my tongue out at him, then heard a small chuckle.

i averted my eyes to ben, who was laughing until his eyes met mine, they were pretty, bright, grey-green and had a scatter of golden eyelashes around the edge, making them seem bigger.

"don't laugh or you'll be next, fuckface."

i glared at them both and walked between them, to my room.

"so that's your new roommate, huh?"

ben and joe were talking in the living room, minutes after y/n's outburst at the two.

"yeah, she's nice though, she might not have been to you, but before you came she was."

"she's good-looking."

"mmm, but dude, don't go hitting on my roommate, i'm going to treat her like my little sister."

"but isn't she older than you? isn't that what you told me?"

"well if she's older than me she's older than you, so."

"you're only a few months older."

joe chuckled, "fuck off, jones."

"fight me, mazzello."
