The dorm hall buzzed softly with the bustling of students preparing for their day. Ianto Jones returned to his drab dorm room, towel slung over his shoulder, bathroom basket in hand. Early classes were always his favorite thing about his life here.
"Up and at 'em Jack."
A loud groan filled the small room as if the living dead was rising from the bed to his left. "Jack I said get up. You're going to be late again." The handsome brunette sat up in his squeaky, lumpy bed, muttering something about just going to bed. "Were you studying?" The shaggy headed man shook his head. "Homework?" Again a head shake. "Anything to do with school at all?" A third head shake was Ianto's only response. "Then quit your complaining and get your ass dressed. We need to get going." He tossed his towel in the hamper, stashed his basket and finished preparing for the day. Jack slowly dragged himself from bed. Soon they were heading to class.
"You're bossy... and short!" he muttered passing his roommate. Ianto rolled his eyes but smiled.
"Yes well you're drunk so be quiet and drink your coffee and behave yourself." He thrust the hot cup into Jack's hands. "I told you to go to bed four times before I ever did. What were you even up to all night anyway?" Jack flashed him his classic jaunty smirk.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Ianto sighed and shook his head.
"Forget I asked Jack, that's really kind of gross." Jack just wiggled his eyebrows at his roommate. The pair fell silent as they entered the classroom. Settling in toward the center of the lecture hall Jack began digging through his bag. "Forget your notebook again?" Jack muttered something in response but Ianto couldn't make it out. Finally Jack sat up happily.
"Found it!" A large black and green can was clenched tight in his hand. Seeing the energy drink Ianto groaned.
"Isn't coffee enough?"
"This is a seven am class! I didn't get any sleep. Cut me some slack." Jack popped the top off his coffee and quickly poured the bright green liquid into the steaming brown brew.
"Alright well when you start seeing sounds again don't come complaining to me."
