Chapter 2

I decided to add a music video cuz why the heck not yknow

3rd(ish) POV:

It had been three weeks since Allen, Gwil, and Ben had began their journey at AVSFA. It took them a moment to memorize their schedule, but it didn't take too long before they felt at home.

It was a Tuesday afternoon, and school had just finished for the day. This left the students to do whatever they pleased. Some took the opportunity to go hangout with friends and some decided to go straight to their dorm and sleep. While Allen and Gwil decided to go hangout with some friends, Ben decided that he deserved a well rested nap before dinner.

From the World Language department that was in the main building to Ben's dorms was about a ten minute walk. This gave Ben the time to take in the campus and to enjoy some of his music.

His music taste was a mess. An odd mixture of classic rock, punk, and some rap here and there. This gave him an interesting choice when it came to picking a song to walk to. He scrolled through his music app and finally made a decision between two songs, "Redbone" by Childish Gambino and "The Messenger" by Linkin Park. His choice was "Redbone".

'I'm so ready for a bomb ass nap." Ben thought, 'I haven't even gotten to my dorm and I'm ready to embrace the warm arms of slumber.' Ben wasn't paying attention as he was walking and bumped right into someone's shoulder.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!!" Ben apologized quickly, attempting to not appear as an asshole. He was taken by surprise when he saw the ginger himself, Joe.

"Hey, it's no problem man. It happens to the best of us." Joe said not really paying attention to who he just bumped into. It wasn't until he looked up that he saw who it was.

"Holy shit, it's the blond e-boy Ben!" Joe yelled, getting a few stares from passersby.

"E-boy?" Ben questioned. He had no idea what an e-boy was, and he haven't even heard of the term before. Quite frankly, he was kinda afraid to find out what an"e-boy" was.

"Y'know, striped long sleeve shirt, black nail polish, long hair parted in the middle, kinda angry looking?" Joe tried to explain, "well now that I'm looking at you better, you give off a 'UwU soft boi' kind of energy."

"Excuse me???" Ben was slightly offended by Joe's comment, but was also a little excited that Joe had though of him before

'Maybe ya like him?"

'No no no, this is not going to happen again. I have a chance to restart everything and I'm not messing it up.' Ben thought. Joe notice the sudden silence and attempted to grab Ben's attention.

"Helloooo? Anyone home??" Joe asked, waving his hand in front of the others face. Ben snapped out of his little day dream and focused back on reality.

"I'm sorry, did you say anything?" Ben asked, slightly embarrassed.

"I didn't. I just noticed you zoned out after your very offended 'eXcUsE mE'." Joe air quoted. Ben chuckled and look over to face Joe.

"Well, what are you going to do?" Ben asked.

"I'm just walking around, doing nothing really." Joe answered, "The real question is what are you doing, Ben?". Ben wasn't actually expecting Joe to ask him the question back.

"Oh, I was actually on my way back to my dorm to take a nap you know."

"Really? How about you don't go to sleep and ruin your sleep schedule and invite me over instead?"

"What?! You want to come over?!!" Ben was taken by surprise. 

'Why does he want to come over?? My dorm is literally just a hotel room, plain and simple!' Ben thought.

"Oh, I would love to come over Ben! Thank you for inviting me!" Joe answered to Ben's non-question (a.n: you get what I'm saying right?)

"That wasn't an invitation Joe! You know what I meant!"

"Oh I know, but it's too late. Now lead me to your dorm Benjamin!" Joe laughed. Ben just shook his head and said, 

"Ugh, fine. Follow me dweeb."

"Alright!!! Lets go!!!" The two walked together in a comfortable silence till they got to Ben's dorm building, Hopper Hall. Both boys walked into the door and stopped in front of the elevator until Joe asked something,

"You want to take the stairs?"

"I live on the fourth floor, we would just run out of breath by the time we get to the fourth floor and we still have to walk a bit to actually get to my dorm."

"Well it's either I Naruto run down the hall or we run up the stairs, your choice Benjamin." Ben stood there for a moment and thought about the the two choices.

'He wouldn't run down the hall like an idiot, ...right?' 

"Fine lets take the stairs just so we can save your dignity."

"Jokes on you, I've Naruto ran this whole campus, I have no dignity."

"Jesus Christ Joe, are you okay?"

"Yeah lol."

The two boys opened the door that led to the stairwell and ran up them. They successfully did so without tripping over any of the steps. By the time they were at the entrance of the fourth floor, both were breathing heavily.

"Well, that was fun!" Joe wheezed.

"I have many regrets, this being one of them." 

"Oh stop fussing, if you're that tired, I'll just carry you to your dorm." Joe joked. Ben's breath hitched a bit, but he ignored it.

'He's not being serious, don't get your panties in a twist.'

"I don't need to be carried, just give me a sec please." Ben and Joe stood there for a moment, catching their breath before they both signaled that they were ready. Ben took the lead and guided Joe to his dorm. After a few minutes, they were in front of Ben's dorm.

"Alright. This is it." Ben said.

"That's all?" Joe asked

"That's all what?"

"No exciting introduction? No fascinating fact or something before we walk in?"

"Fine, here's a fact. I have an older brother, interesting enough?"

"Yeah." Joe said. Ben shook his head and laughed as be grab his key and began to unlock the door. 

"I don't think my roommate is here so we'll have the whole dorm to ourselves." Ben said.

"Ooooo, that's exciting!" Joe smiled as he placed his stuff down and pointed to one of the beds, "Which is yours?"

"The one on the right." 

"Ah, okay." Joe said as he jumped on to the bed, laying down. He pulled out his 2D-S and started playing nintendog.

'This is going to be a long night.'

oof im so sorry I took forever to upload this. I really need to get a writing schedule of some sort together so I can at least get a chapter out per week, but there's no promise in that.
