Waking up in Jasper's bed wasn't how Mikey planned for his morning to go. They'd gotten pizza, frozen yogurt, then slowly made their way back to the college apartments. The two boys were arguing what tv show was better when they got to apartment building, and Mikey's train of thought left his brain while he watched Jasper stick his crotch in the area of the ID scanner. In the back of his mind, Mikey knew his best friend had his ID in his front hoodie pocket—one he was sure he had in his closet at some point—but if was still hot to imagine what Jasper would look like if he topped someone.

Inside the dorm room Mikey automatically asked where the two other guys were, the promise was right in front of his face. Jasper knocked on their door, checked the bathroom, and even texted both boys to confirm their locations. They were out of the dorm and Mikey cheered, pumping his arm and starting to push Jasper to his room.

Afterwards the two laid next to each other and Mikey slowly regained normal breathing. He couldn't help but admire the profile of Jasper when the college student closed his eyes. He had an arm resting above his head, hair splayed around him with some on his forehead. He looked angelic in the moment and Mikey's cheeks flushed at the realization.

Now, with his alarm sounding quietly beside his head, Mikey didn't want to get up. He wanted to stay in bed and sleep, but he needed money and his job gave him that. So, he sat up and cracked his back, then crawled over Jasper. At his movements he must've stirred Jasper, because he turned his head and opened his eyes, sleep still in them.

He grunted before humming, "see ya."

Jasper lazily smiled after Mikey and went back to sleep, and the twenty-year-old slipped on the rest of his clothes. He took the sweatshirt Jasper was wearing the day before, burying his nose in the collar, and grabbed his other belongings. He awkwardly nodded to Jasper's roommate who was sitting on the couch. Then, he leisurely walked back to his house around six a.m. so he had time to shower, get dressed, and eat.

Jasper tapped on Ricky and Aaron's door, feeling a little nervous for the interview he has in an hour. He didn't want to wear his shirts since they were all too casual for an interview, and he knew Ricky dressed nice almost all the time. You could find him in a button down and nice pants any time.

Ricky opened the door and Jasper smiled, glad he was home. "Can I borrow one of your button ups? I have an interview and my shirts aren't interview worthy."

The door opened more and he pointed to his side of the closet with a lazy hand, then laid back on his bed. He had his eight o'clock class and he just got back from his job at the college café.

Jasper rifled through the shirts, trying to imagine each with the pair of pants he planned to wear it with. He pulled out two that he liked and faces Ricky. They were held up to Jasper's chest and he asked for his roommates opinion.

"I personally like wearing the right one, but it's up to you." Jasper chose the left one so he didn't take away Ricky's favorite shirt and walked out with it. But, before he could close the door his roommate called for him. He impassively asked Jasper, "what's going on between you and Mikey?"

Jasper frowned. "What do you mean?"

Rocky explained, "when I came home last night I wanted to see if you were awake to get Insomnia Cookies, but you two were sleeping and it looked like something had happened, then this morning he left with your sweatshirt on."

"That dick," Jasper whispered at the latter half of the sentence, but he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck when trying to come up with an excuse or how to tell his roommate.

But, he didn't have to say anything because Ricky shrugged and told him, "look I don't care if your sleeping with him, I'm pan myself, but don't fuck with me or Aaron in the apartment."

A relieving sigh came from Jasper and he smiled thankfully at his roommate. Then he joked, "why do you think nothing happened when you were here? I wouldn't do that to you." Afterward Jasper added to himself, only to his brothers.

Jasper changed into the button down and black skinny jeans, liking how he felt and looked with the outfit. He walked into the bathroom and sent a mirror selfie to Mikey. His foot was placed on the edge of the sink's ledge, and Jasper stuck out his tongue with the filter on. He told Mikey about the interview and locked his phone after, calling out to Ricky to tell him where he was going.

On his way his phone vibrated inside the cup holder of his car and he opened the Snapchat from Mikey. His words—you look good—only made his face burn and Jasper tossed his phone on the passenger seat. Thankfully he was earlier than he intended to be, because he had to sit in his car and get rid of the burning sensation over his face.

So I had an idea for Ricky, which was to him to tell Jasper he was hooking up with Aaron, but then I remember I said he had a girlfriend, so that went away. But we got Jasper to sort of talk about Mikey to someone.

Also sorry for not updating the past Saturday. Life got hectic and I didn't feel like doing anything but sleeping.
