One thing Raven happened to notice about his roommate was the way people viewed him. It wasn't like he went out of his way to find out, but people around him talked. And they were bad at being discreet.

"Ahh…Elsword is so sexy!"

"I know right? Who wouldn't want to date that hot bad boy?"

People- specifically the girls would often talk about him being hot and how he had that quiet bad boy aura. Now that he thought about it, Elsword did have a bad boy vibe coming from him…when his mouth wasn't moving. He had the same first impression, but that impression didn't stay.

It was the usual routine today. Raven sat on his bed, studying. He glanced at the clock, expecting Chung and Elsword to burst inside their room boisterously soon.

Three minutes had passed and the door clicked open, but there was no conversation coming inside. It was just Elsword and Raven noticed that his face looked crestfallen.

Immediately, Elsword headed towards the fridge and went for the ice cream. He then proceeded to do the same thing when Raven first met Elsword. He sat down at the table and took a bite of the cold treat.

Elsword was so busy sulking that he didn't notice that Raven had gotten off his bed to sit in front of him until his ice cream was pulled away from him. He looked up to see Raven looking into his eyes. Startled, he let out a surprised and irritated, "What?"

Raven responded simply, "You're going to get fat."

Elsword understood the message Raven sent, or at least he was sure there was one. But he was still distressed from what happened earlier and unintentionally let Raven know the wrong way, "It's none of your business of whether I get fat or not!" And he snatched his ice cream back.

Raven looked at Elsword for another second and then walked back to his bed to continue studying. If the boy wanted space, space he would get. When Raven finished studying, it was beginning to get late. He went to the fridge to try to cook up something, and saw there was barely any food. He made a mental note to himself to buy some groceries later.

He opened up a few cabinets and saw a couple bags of chips, "I'm eating this," Raven tore open the bag of chips and stuffed some in his mouth. He turned around to find Elsword staring at the table with an empty bowl and unresponsive.

When Elsword came back to reality, he found a blanket draped around his shoulders and a bag of chips that was half-finished on the table.

'How long was I spacing out for?'

Elsword turned towards the clock and saw it was getting close to midnight. Good god, he was gone for hours.

Elsword glanced at the bag of chips before grabbing it to finish it. When he finished eating and brushing his teeth, he slipped into Raven's bed, curling up right next to the other.

"My girlfriend dumped me. It's the fourteenth time this year," Elsword muttered to the sleeping figure. Or at least who he thought was sleeping.

Elsword continued ranting, "Every girlfriend I had usually dumps me within a week at the most when they find out I'm not the person they thought I was. I'm not a quiet, cold guy. I'm stupid, I'm oblivious, I'm loud and I like to talk. I like being cuddly and I know I get frightened easily. And yet I always give every relationship a try, because I keep thinking someone will eventually like me for being me. But that hasn't been the case at all," Elsword whispered sadly, pressing his forehead to Raven's chest.

"Not to also mention, I have a tendency to fall for someone too fast. I hate it about myself. I get heartbroken way too easily even if the relationship only lasted for three days," Elsword sighed, "I act like such a high school girl."

Elsword wrapped his arms around the other's waist. Normally it was always one sided so you could imagine his shock when he felt the other raise his hand to stroke his hair. Especially since he thought the other was asleep.

"Y-you were listening?!" Elsword eyes widened in shock as his cheeks were starting to flush in embarrassment.

Raven let out a hum to answer his question. He continued to stroke the other's hair, not saying anything else. It brought back some memories, but this was about Elsword for now. He felt his chest tighten at the state his roommate was in, even if he only knew him for a short period of time.

He felt the red-head relax in his hold and it looked like he was about to drift off from looking at his face. He must've been exhausted being miserable for so long.

Raven was a person oriented more towards action rather than words, so he wasn't sure if his words would help in the least, but he decided to say it anyways, "You're just Elsword, my stupid roommate."

Elsword suddenly froze. In that short second, Raven wondered if he accidentally screwed up and was starting to panic internally, but he relaxed when he heard the other chuckle.

"Yeah. Thanks Raven," Elsword was still chuckling when he said that sentence.

Raven hummed in response to the other and continued stroking his hair, feeling the strands curl around his fingers.

Elsword leaned into the touch and mumbled sleepily, "Night Raven."

"Good night, Elsword."

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Raven woke up a little later today so he was glad to find out it was a Saturday. Sleepily, he attempted to get up before realizing the other was practically tangled to him. It was a little weird, considering that usually Elsword's grip would be wound tightly around him, but loose enough to be able to get out the bed. But today, he wasn't able to.

Seeing that he had to go to the bathroom, he had no choice but to try to wake up Elsword.

"Wake up," Raven said while shaking the other.

"Unggh…Five more minutes," mumbled Elsword sleepily and clung to him tighter than before.

"I have to go to the bathroom, dammit. WAKE UP," Raven realized he had to try to find a new tactic of waking the other up, because he couldn't afford to have this happen on a school day.

But before he could try to experiment, the door to the dorm slammed open rather loudly with Chung huffing, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BITCH BROKE UP WITH YOU? I SWEAR WHEN SCHOOL STARTS I'M GONNA MAKE HER LIFE HELL!" Chung shouted angrily but paused when he saw the position his best friend and roommate were in.
Raven stared blankly and Elsword was in the middle of waking up due to all the noise Chung caused. Chung grinned mischievously, "Dang, you move fast, Elsword. Already making a move on Raven? Don't let me interrupt." Chung said, even though he already did interrupt.

"Ugh…What happened?" Elsword mumbled half asleep, not processing the whole scene that played out in front of him. He swore he heard Chung screaming something, but maybe he dreamed it since his best friend wasn't there?

"Nothing. Go back to sleep," Raven recovered quickly from the sudden surprise. Well at least Chung woke up Elsword for him. He tried to get up to go to the bathroom but Elsword dragged him back to the bed, "Sounds like a good idea."

"YOU CAN SLEEP WITHOUT ME," Raven growled in annoyance but Elsword already fell back asleep, leaving poor Raven to struggle for his freedom.

Desperately, he yelled, "CHUNG, HELP ME!"
