Love's Complex

Chapter 10

I spent the day at the Five's house, got to learn a little bit more about them, things like how they like their food (Ian cant stand spice) and hobbies (Allegra is actually a competitive swimmer). We had also spent the rest of the morning and a good portion of the afternoon watching different movies, Eliza claiming it would be a good time to bond as 'friends' and hopefully roommates. I had noticed that a few of them leaned into each other or held each other's hands. It was quite cute but I still havent gotten an explanation so I didn't want to assume anything.

After the movie marathon I had finally asked if I could still move in with them to which they agreed without any reluctance. Mikael, who was the closest to me, pulled me into a hug followed by Allegra and Eliza stealing me from his grasp to shove me into our own group hug. Ian and Mako simply smiled from where they were, welcoming me. I grinned back at them, a little sheepish from the smothering. Fortunately, almost everything was an easy enough process, just having to move my stuff in, so basically the hardest part in my opinion.

Giving them a week's warning of my moving in, all of the Five decided to drive me home, saying that they were going out for some errands and that Fayre and Orions were on the way. I sat in the front passenger seat much to my dismay seeing as it was a five seater car but Allegra just sat on Mako's lap, legs draping over Eliza and Mikael. They seemed comfortable enough so I stopped arguing with the Five, knowing they wouldnt listen. Observing the buildings passing by, Ian had put on classical music on the radio, stating that since he was the driver, he got to choose the music. I watched Mikael huff and slump in his seat but no other complaints were heard.

I snuck a glance at the five who all seemed a little preoccupied in different things. Ian stayed focused on the road, looking in the mirror periodically, grinning at the people in the backseat who continuously poked at each other or were telling some elaborate theories and stories which I didn't bother listening to, feeling socially drained for the day.

It was nice for a change, the loudness of this group. With Fayre and Orion, they are sometimes overly cautious around me and things that may set me off. I know they care a lot but it can be a bit much sometimes, having to whisper when talking about sensitive topics, or conversations dying down when something is brought up in passing. The Five don't know these things, and its nice to be completely involved in a debate without worry.

They had dropped me off, not before they all got out of the car and offered me hugs which I definitely did not resist. I love cuddles and they were all very warm. Telling me to text them once I was able to start moving things in, I entered the place to find Orion on the couch with papers scattered around his laptop which he looked up from.

"Oh hey Nai! How were your new roommates?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows which made me cringe and giggle. "I heard what happened at the party, it seems like you and Mikael are getting along, huh?"

"Oh my gosh, Im pretty sure hes in a relationship, and I was slightly inebriated, he understood that. He was very gentlemanly unlike you! Leaving me to fend for myself in a house with virtual strangers. I thought we were friends!" I pouted, taking off my shoes and flopping onto his lap. "The agony I feel to be betrayed this way sir!"

"You drama queen, we both know you were safe! It was a good opportunity for you to get to know them a bit more as well. You are moving in with them." He ruffled my hair and continued working, placing his laptop on me as I moved up so that my head rested on the arm rest and my legs overlapped with his. I sighed relaxing in the position for a bit but then got confused.

"Ion, where's Fay?" He was still working on his computer, eyes focused on something on the screen to compare it with info on a sheet of paper in his hands.

"She's out getting some groceries, should be back soon. You actually just missed her. She left a couple minutes before you came in."

Nodding, though I knew he couldnt see me do so, I began to go through my social media and ended up watching YouTube videos for a while, earbuds in to not distract Orion.

About a half hour later the girl walks through the door with a couple bags of groceries on each arm. She took off her shoes and placed the groceries on the coffee table to kiss the top of Orion's head greeting him when she noticed me and my glare.

"Well, heyyy Naila~" She grabbed the grocery bags and lugged them into the kitchen, not before smirking at me. "How was your night?" She called out in a joking tone, back facing me.

"It wouldve been better if I HADNT BEEN LEFT BEHIND TO FEND FOR MYSELF!" I was not happy with her. From what Mikael and the rest had told me, Fayre had left my tipsy sleeping self with them so she could go back to partying. I wasn't mad at the girl but I wasn't pleased.

"Naila, you literally said I could go off if I really wanted to, I had your blessing," she whined but I merely huffed and continued to scroll through my phone ignoring her "excuses".

"You shouldnt be so hard on her. A drunk Fayre shouldnt be taking care of anyone," Orion whispered to me and I lightly laughed back so that Fayre wouldnt hear. I wanted to be petty, so petty I shall be.

"Im sorry Nai," Fayre popped up beside me and knelt down. "I won't do it again, I promise~"

Pouting again, I huffed and turned my back to the woman, Orion pinched my leg in annoyance as his laptop flipped. I winced and patted his head in apology but Fayre had decided to place her head on my shoulder and kissed my cheek.

"I won't do it again!" She paused a second "and Ill buy you those little cakes from that bakery you like~"

My eyes widened and I turned around to face her, Orion made a growling noise again, his laptop almost falling to the ground this time but I ignored him.

"Promise?" Still glaring at her a little, daring her to back out.

"Yes, I promise," Fayre said wistfully. I grinned and did a little happy dance. Those cakes are heckin expensive so getting them as an apology gift was one of the most amazing things in the world.

I hugged Fayre tightly and kissed her cheek, this time carefully taking Orion laptop off of my legs. I went to the kitchen to help Fayre put away the groceries quickly.

Finishing up, I said my good nights, wanting to do some studying and go to bed early. While my laptop and textbooks were open on my desk, I found myself scrolling through my phone and a few notifications popped up at the same time.

A few follow requests from accounts I didn't know but looking at the names, it surprised me it was the five (I'm sure you're not entirely not surprised).

I accepted the requests but immediately turned off my phone, not wanting to have to focus on the weirdness my life has been going through.

A/N: I'd like to think I'm done editing but I can't be entirely sure. If I'm wrong, at least one of you have to tell me. Please!! The next chapter is Naila officially moving in, so that will be fun. I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Thank you so much for reading!!!
