Wow, scary day yesterday. One minute, I was sleeping peacefully, then the next I'm waking up to the smoke alarm and wondering WTH? As I raced upstairs to see what was wrong. 'Cause, you know, someone sets off the smoke alarm by burning whatever they're cooking. Unfortunately, that was not the case. So me and my brothers ended up being chased out of the house, just in case there was a fire. After a bout of mom freaking the hell out, thinking it was an electrical fire or something, the fire department came after, what, an hour of calling them?(Slow…I know, if there was a fire, the house would have been gone already.) And it turns out it was because we might have roasted a mouse…burnt to a crisp. Gross, right?

Reason for that. For some odd reason, what happened yesterday sparked this. Weird…

But, okay…um, I haven't watched much of Tranformers Prime, so excuse me if the characters come off as Out of Character.

Disclaimer: I'm only going to say this once, I don't own any of the characters from Prime.

Jack let out a sigh, tiredness making him lag behind his schedule as he stared up at the building in front of him, the thought of having to bring his mother's car back to her when he was finished making him step out of the vehicle.

As he hurried towards the front desk to get his room key, he glanced at his wristwatch. Only a few more hours until he had to go back to work.

He stifled a sigh as he gave the lady at the front desk a small, polite smile.

"Hello, how may I help you today?" he hide the grimace at the overly sweet tone she used. "Jack Durby," he muttered instead, watching as she clicked away on her computer.

"Oh yes, we've been waiting for you. This is your room key and your schedule, would you like a map of the school?"

"Please,"

Jack muttered to himself as he got into the elevator. They had said that they had no single rooms available, so he was being assigned to sharing a dorm with someone else, complete with two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living room.

It didn't sound too bad, he thought, stepping out of the elevator and trying his hardest to avoid the people around him rushing around and moving in, or standing around chatting with neighbours.

"Hey! You must be the roommate, huh?" blue eyes meet honey brown in surprise.

His roommate was a girl? He blinked, shaking his head before offering her a polite smile. "Jack, and you are…?" he trailed off, hand held out in an offer for a handshake. "Miko!" she grinned brightly, taking his hand and shaking it cheerily.

"Vince, you're roommates here!"

Now why did the name Vince sound so familiar to him? Jack tilted his head slightly, looking in the direction Miko had pranced off to, still spouting things to this Vince.

An exasperated face came into view, Miko having a hold of his arm as she dragged him into the living room. Red hair made Jack's brain click into gear, dread filling him as annoyed green eyes met his own blue ones.

It was Vince.

As in, high school bully Vince. As in, the very person who made his life at school unpleasant, as in the guy he dreaded seeing because of the gibes, the teases and the slams that sent him into lockers.

God, and he was supposed to share a dorm with this guy?

Jack didn't even try to hide the wariness and small fear he still harboured for Vince, knowing it would only be visiblein his eyes.

Instead, he turned on his heel and walked out, going back to the front desk to see if there were other dorms hetransfer to.

"Excuse me," the lady at the front desk looked up in surprise at Jack as he came to a stop before the desk. "But is there another room that isn't assigned?" she looked at him in confusion, typing away on the computer before giving him a false apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Mr. Durby, but all rooms have already been filled and no one has asked to be moved."

Jack groaned, cradling his face in his hands for a few minutes before letting out a deep sigh. "That's alright, I suppose I'll just have to deal again." he mumbled, grabbing a hand trolley and going to his moms car to unload his things.

Things were going to be…interesting, to say the least.

Even as he stepped off the elevator with some of his stuff in the trolley, he felt nervousness swell inside him.

If he was going to be stuck as Vince's roommate, then he might as well step forward first and hope that he wouldn't get bullied again. Offer friendship, or even some kind of peace from what he'd known before.

It took all his willpower not to rush into the living room when he smelt Jack's blood. Or, who he figured was Jack, anyways. It had always been Jack's rare blood type that drew him in, the smell of it causing a yearning to erupt inside him.

And when Miko spoke, and he heard that unmistakable voice, he knew, without a doubt in his mind, that it was Jack.

Vince closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath, and then slowly releasing. He hadn't smelt anything so tempting for a while, and the scent only reminded him of his hunger, of the fact that animal blood was becoming stale and unsavoury.

Jack's blood reminded him of the fact that he was starving himself because of it.

When Miko bounced into the room to get him, the only reason why he was dragged into the living room to see Jack was the fact that Miko oh so subtly used her wolf strength to drag him out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have budged.

As he saw the wariness and that little piece of fear enter Jack's face, making his scent change as his emotion changed from a dull sweetness that was caused by tiredness and happiness to a more bitter smell, caused by the emotions on his face, visible in his blue eyes. It left a nasty taste at the back of his throat as Jack turned on his heel and walked back out.

Miko detached herself from him, poking her head out the doorway to watch him leave, no doubt.

"Does he have that rare blood type you love?" her voice drifted to him.

He couldn't hide the truth from her, the smell of the lie would drift to her sensitive nose.

It was times like these he hated, the smell of Jack's blood, the way he treated him back in high school because of his tempting blood. It was all to try distance himself away from Jack so he wouldn't do something he'd regret.

Fate was cruel, he decided, giving Miko a confirming grunt before he went back to the room he claimed.

Something told him being as equally as cruel to Jack wouldn't work this time. That distance wouldn't be enough. He vaguely heard Miko yell her goodbye and take her leave, her being there was more curiosity then anything.

"Hey, uh, Vince…" he was too busy trying to ignore Jack's blood, he hadn't realized that Jack had been standing in the door way of the room as he put things away.

His head tilted to the side in greeting to Jack, unintentionally narrowing his eyes as Jack shuffled his feet nervously. "I just, uh…wanted to…"

He could hear the unspoken question, am I going to be bullied again?, and let out a sigh. Silently contemplating his course of action as he watched Jack. "I'm Vince," he noted Jack's surprise and shock with amusement, offering his hand in a handshake, not expecting Jack to accept.

"Jack,"

That was when he realized how right he was. As they shook hands, as Jack went back to unpacking, he knew right then that their relationship was going to change from bully and victim to…something else.

The question was, what was it going to change to?

XxXxXxXx

Er…

I don't think I have anything to say, or, well, I did but forgot it. Can't rightly remember what the hell I was going to say.

It involved whatever was in this chapter, anyways…

Well, the only things I can say right now is that since tediz-leader was the only author who actually wrote a Vince/Jack love story, and I've actually fallen in love with the pairing, I made an AU version of it.

Don't know if it's a good one, or if you like it or not…

Review and tell me?
