A/N: I know…this chapter is really short and pointless….basically fluff. Get over it. I promise the next one will be so filled with information your head will be spinning)
Chapter Eight: Food Now!
"I hate Chemistry. Hate it! End of discussion. I just want to go back and burn down the fucking chem lab and place a fucking curse on anyone that tries to rebuild it," Wyatt mumbled under his breath as he walked into his room. He threw down his lab notebook and manual before walking over to turn down Rain's radio. He could sense both Rain and Chris near Rain's bed, but that was only normal. Rain had always refused to use her desk for anything more that a good place to set things, and usually did pretty much everything in her bed. Wyatt was not expecting to glance at his roommate's bed and see his baby brother –with no shirt- on top of his roommate engaging in an extremely passionate kiss.
Wyatt left the radio turned up and instead went to his desk and sat down, trying to suppress his laughter. It was too perfect. He always caught shit from Rain about how much him and Kali were together, and he was more than looking forward to returning the favor.
He literally felt tears in his eyes from fighting back the laughter as he thought about how much his little brother's mind must have been occupied not to sense Wyatt in the room not five feet from him. Chris and Wyatt could always sense each other without trying, unless they were concentrating really really hard on something else, and even then if they were even close to being in the same building they usually couldn't block out the other's presence. The fact that Chris still had realized Wyatt was in the room really said something for how "in the moment" he was.
Wyatt went on-line and began checking his e-mail, trying not to glance at his roommate's bed, but finding the urge irresistible. It was purely funny to Wyatt that the two of them were so into just making out they didn't realize he was right there. Wyatt also couldn't help but realize how innocent they both still managed to look while engaging in such activities. "Only Chris could manage to look so freaking angelic even while making out with his girlfriend." Wyatt said quietly to himself.
Wyatt instantly realized his mistake right after he verbalized his brother's name. He looked over to see Chris shoot his head up and roll onto his side. Chris propped himself up on his elbow and looked directly at Wyatt. He didn't even have to search the room for him, but pinpointed him directly behind his desk. Wyatt got up and walked over to Rain's radio again, this time turning it down. He turned back to the bed to see that Rain and Chris had slid up to sitting positions, and Rain was already comfortably snuggled into Chris's bare chest. Chris had his arms around Rain's shoulder, and was holding her close to him.
Chris was looking at Wyatt with one of the world's biggest smart-ass grins on his face. Wyatt decided he needed to be brought down a bit. "I was with her first you know," he told his little brother cockily. "In fact, I had her in my bed and under my covers just a few days ago," he added.
Chris didn't miss a beat as he replied, "Everyone's entitled to a mistake here and there. Clearly she saw the error of her ways and quickly moved to the better brother."
Rain chuckled at this remark as she hopped gracefully out of bed and made her way towards the door. When she reached the door she turned and said, "Clearly I was just using both of you for your amazing bodies because there certainly isn't much going on up here," she pointed to her at the end of the statement before leaving the room.
"Aren't we supposed to say that about her?" Wyatt asked Chris after a minute or so.
"I think so," Chris replied, pulling the sheets up as if in embarrassment over her statement.
"Oh well, put your shirt on so we can go eat before Howl-O-Scream."
"I kinda like him like that. I think it should be a law that he can never wear a shirt again," Rain said as she reappeared in the doorway, Kali coming in behind her.
"Thankfully you don't make the rules," Wyatt replied, throwing Chris a shirt.
"Why are you throwing me your shirt? I have a shirt here you know, it's not like I came over topless and ready to impress."
"Do you know where that shirt is?" Wyatt asked him, crossing his arms at his chest as he looked at Chris expectantly.
"It's around…here….somewhere," Chris trailed off as his eyes moved around the room.
"Well, I'm hungry now, so put that on and you can find your shirt later."
Chris began to pull the shirt on over his head, but suddenly stopped. "Wyatt, you asshole. This is my shirt. Well, not the one I wore over today, but one I've actually been missing for a couple of weeks. One I keep asking you about and you keep saying 'no dude, I don't have it' when you totally did."
"Well, now you have it back, problem solved. Get your ass out of bed so we can eat."
"I'm going. Relax before you hurt yourself. Besides, I have to pee before we go." Chris pulled the shirt on all the way and hopped out of bed, making his way to the bathroom.
"I'll be right back. I forgot my ID," Kali said, leaving Rain and Wyatt to sit in the hall and wait.
"I hate cafe (A/N: cafeteria for anyone confused) food. I can't wait until Christmas when I get to eat real food," Rain spoke as they made their way from the dorm.
"What about Thanksgiving?" Wyatt asked her curiously.
"I'm not going home for Thanksgiving. Can't afford it. It's not really worth it either. Flying home for like three days is kind of pointless."
'What are you going to do then?"
"I'll probably cook something here on our wonderful lounge stove."
"You mean the stove that burns water?"
"Exactly."
"You should have Thanksgiving dinner with us. Mom would be more than happy to have you join us. I think she's in love with you or something. Ever since the day I moved in and the two of you tore Chris and me apart she's liked you. Kind of twisted if you ask me, but that describes pretty much everything about my family."
"You talk too much,"
Wyatt gave Rain a withering look before replying, "Do you want good food or not?"
"Are you sure the rest of the family won't mind?"
"Positive. Mom would insist if she knew you were going to spend Thanksgiving alone."
"Awesome, count me in," Rain replied happily to her roommate. A few seconds later Chris emerged from the bathroom at the same time Kali rounded the corner.
"Finally, let's eat," Wyatt yelled triumphantly.
