The first thing Lukas noticed was how toned his roommate was. It surprised him, he hadn't figured that Mathias would have looked so good without a shirt on. Mathias' hair was damp from his shower, rivulets of water dripping down Mathias' pale flesh. Lukas' eyes drifted lower taking in the small of Mathias' back, and the plush cheeks of his...
"ehm," Lukas coughed, looking away.
Mathias turned around, revealing everything, much to the horror of Lukas.
"I-I should of knocked..." Lukas said, trying his best to keep his eyes up.
Mathias just shrugged. "No worries."
And then much to Lukas' shock Mathias continued on as if he hadn't just been walked in on by a practical stranger. In fact he went on humming.
"Er..what are you doing?"
"Humming? Getting dressed?"
Lukas rolled his eyes. "Yeah, no shit Sherlock. I meant what are you humming."
Mathias beamed, "Part of Your World."
"I don't think I've heard of it," Lukas frowned.
Mathias' eyes almost popped out of his head. "Wha-? You've never seen The Little Mermaid!?"
"Isn't that a kids' movie?" Lukas asked.
"Are you kidding? It's the best kids' movie ever!" Mathias exclaimed. "Let's go watch it."
Lukas put his hand on Mathias' bare chest. "Finish putting your pants on first."
Mathias looked down with a sheepish grin. "Sorry. Guess I'm not used to having a roommate."
Lukas couldn't help but chuckle, causing Mathias to turn around, a wide smile on his face. "What?" Lukas asked furrowing his brow.
"I didn't know you could laugh like that. Laugh at all for that matter," Mathias replied. "It was cute~"
Lukas' jaw dropped. "I am not cute!"
"I never said you were. I said your laugh was cute...but now that you mention it," teased Mathias.
Lukas angrily grabbed at a pillow and threw it at his roommate. "Agh, you ass!"
"Don't tell me you didn't notice it. I know you did," laughed Mathias.
"God!" screeched Lukas. "You're so annoying."
"No need to be so formal," winked Mathias.
Angrily Lukas stormed out of the room, and for the second time that day Mathias was left in the room laughing. Seconds later Mathias came running out of the room, fully clothed.
"Wait!"
"What?" Lukas turned around sharply on his heel.
Unfortunately for him, Mathias kept barreling at him. The other practically tackled him, causing both of them to fall to the ground. Lukas flinched, expecting to be crushed by the larger man, but he wasn't. Lukas opened his eyes to find Mathias on his forearms, just inches above him. Lukas couldn't help but notice Mathias' full lips just inches away from his own. Lukas tried to pull away, but found that his legs were entangled in Mathias' long ones.
"Ow. What the hell is wrong with you?" Lukas asked.
"Oops, sorry," Mathias said, pulling away scratching the back of his neck. "I just wanted to say that no friend of mine can not see Little Mermaid, so tonight, we're watching it."
"You felt the need to tackle me over a Disney movie?" Lukas grumbled.
"It's like a really important Disney movie," Mathias said, helping the other up.
"Fine. We can watch it."
"Yay! I'll get the popcorn!" Mathias clapped his hands together like a five year old.
Lukas just sighed, and followed his roommate downstairs. Mathias made his way to the kitchen and began making popcorn.
Berwald passed through looking at Lukas and asked, "The Little Mermaid?"
"How did you know?" Lukas inquired grumpily.
"He does it to everyone," Berwald shrugged making himself some tea.
Lukas nodded warily. He wasn't sure how long he would be able to bear a movie marketed for ten year olds. He followed Mathias into the living room and watched as the other popped the old VHS into the player.
"This is going to be great," Mathias said, settling himself into the couch.
Lukas' brows furrowed as the movie began. As the film continued, they slowly unwrinkled themselves, and he found himself enjoying the movie. The tunes were catchy, and the colors were bright and lively.
For the entire film Mathias was bouncing excitedly on the couch, bobbing his heads to the songs. Finally he couldn't hold back anymore, and then Mathias began to sing along.
The seaweed is always greener,
In somebody else's lake,
You dream about going up there,
But that is a big mistake.
Just look at the world around you,
Right here on the ocean floor,
Such wonderful things surround you,
What more are you looking for?
UNDER THE SEA
Lukas' eyes were drawn away from the screen, and rested on his roommate. Mathias noticed his glance, and threw his arm around Lukas' shoulders. And soon enough, Lukas was halfheartedly singing the chorus as well.
By one of the later scenes, Lukas couldn't help but notice how Mathias clung to a pillow as Ursula threatened the lovers. He almost looked cute...
But in the end Mathias was happy again, bouncing eagerly in his seat. Lukas couldn't help but realize what a dork his roommate was.
"So?! What did you think?" Mathias asked as the end credits were rolling.
Lukas nodded. "Yeah, it was good."
"Good? Only good?" Mathias seemed disappointed.
Lukas hated the pouty look the tall blond was giving him, so he offered a small smile, "I really liked it."
Mathias beamed. "Yay! I'm glad you liked it~"
"You guys done with your movie?" Tino asked leaning his head in through the doorway.
"Yep," grinned Mathias.
"Mind if we have the TV for awhile?" Tino asked semi-apologetically.
"Not at all!" Mathias replied getting up.
Lukas left the room, going straight up to his room. Rummaging around for a bit in his things, he found the book he had last been reading. He curled up under his blankets and settled in for a quiet evening in. That is until Mathias came bounding into the room.
"Hello roomie~" Mathias cheered.
Lukas glanced up from his book with a frown.
"Whatchya reading?" asked Mathias looming his face above Lukas'.
Lukas sighed. "Hamlet."
"Never heard of it," Mathias shrugged.
Lukas glared at the other. "You've never heard of Hamlet? By Shakespeare?"
"Nope," Mathias shook his head.
"What kind of rock did you grow up under?" Lukas asked.
"Public school," answered Mathias. "So what's it about?"
"The prince of Denmark-"
"Denmark!? I love Denmark! That's where I'm from!" Mathias said jumping onto the futon. "Read it to me!"
"What?" asked Lukas, clearly taken aback.
"Well I am the King of Scandinavia, so I should know about these things," Mathias said, wrapping his arms around Lukas' pillow.
"Know what things?"
"Well I wanna know what this Shakespeare guy says about my country," Mathias argued. "C'mon, read to me?"
Lukas frowned. "I'm already halfway through the play."
"So just start over again," Mathias begged. "Please?"
"Well since you've never read it, I guess I can," sighed Lukas.
Mathias grinned, and snuggled into the couch. Lukas turned to the front of the book and started reading. Mathias liked the way Lukas' voice sounded reading the archaic text, although to be honest he couldn't understand half of what he was saying. Lukas' eyes began to droop, and his voice started to grow husky from drowsiness. Slowly the book drooped until it rested on Lukas' chest.
Silently Mathias got up, and tucked the other boy into his bed. He made his way to his own bed, pulling out his smaller camera and turned it on.
"Hello friends," Mathias said quietly. "So my new roommate just fell asleep reading Hamlet to me. Did you guys know that play is about Denmark?! And more importantly its prince, so it's basically about me~. I didn't really get much of it, but according to Lukas it's like super famous. I'll let you know more as he continues to read it to me. Goodnight loyal subjects, I'll see your sexy faces later. Bye~"
Mathias turn off the camera with a smile on his face. He would upload the video later. Maybe he could start a new miniseries on his channel...The Hamlet Chronicles...or something like that. He was sure his viewers would have something interesting to say. But that could wait, for now he needed sleep or tumblr.
Mathias' bright phone lit up the darkened room. He opened the app, and began to scroll through his feed. He reblogged pictures of dogs, and gay guys kissing. There were witty stories, and bad puns. He went into his tag, and was surprised at what he saw. He knew that a couple of his viewers had already started to ship them...but he hadn't expected to see all the fan art yet. There were so many gifs, and photo manips of the two minute short vlog. Mathias couldn't help but grin. He wondered if any fanfiction would be written about them. Maybe he could get Lukas to read that to him too! And with that thought Mathias drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face.
