Ezra nodded, "Sure, I mean we gotta choose one soon.." He tried to think of things that sounded cool, but he couldn't think of anything that didn't sound lame. The best one that he could come up with was toxicell, and so he awkwardly put the idea forward to David and Derek. "It's super lame because i just cant think of anything but, toxicell? I don't know..." He laughed a little when he said it and rubbed his neck with his hand, smiling. He kept glancing at David who was often looking at Derek, but the times when they caught eye contact Ezras stomach lurched.

Derek looked at him with wide eyes, '' That is a horrible name.'' he simply stated. he wasn't being rude about it, but actually trying to muffle a laugh that escaped. David laughed and looked at Ezra, '' Oh come on Derek. It's not that horrible.'' he added sitting on Derek's head and playing with his foot. Derek rolled his eyes as he brainstormed for ideas, crossing his arm on his chest.'' I already have Jess, can you not..rest on me. Do i look like a bed or a couch? Tshh..'' he said a bit annoyed. David laughed, '' Well, i would sleep on you if you were a bed handsome,'' he said laughing and he winked at Ezra since he found it rather amusing. He was actually quite a flirt, but only with people he knew well. But he made exception for ezra since they would work together in the future. ''Gahh, get off me.'' Derek said a bit disgusted and a bit disturbed. David laugh and made a sassy smile but shrugged it off not wanting to completely creep Derek out. He was lucky to have met him, probably the only hetero that had so much self-control and not judgemental, '' How about Headless System?'' he said trying to change conversation for the sake of Derek's mental state.

Ezra laughed when Derek said that the name he came up with was horrible, because it really, really was, and he found David so hilarious, just climbing about everywhere and annoying Derek, and Ezra supposed it must suck to be Derek considering everyone climbs all over him and pokes him at every opportunity. When Headless System was suggested Ezra grinned and nodded, "that name, that is a good name." He said, leaning forward in his chair, and imagining crowds chanting their name, he obviously knew that that dream and ambition would probably never happen but it was always nice to just pretend that it would. Ezra smiled as he thought about it and looked back at Derek and David. David was now walking around the room picking up some of Ezras stuff and inspecting it, but Ezra didn't mind, and he just left him to it.

Derek nodded and created a Youtube channel for their eventual songs. '' Perfect. So, I'll let you manage the youtube channel Levy. I sent you the password and everything via facebook.'' he added closing his computer. He stood up and stretched with a small groan that escaped. He looked at the clock nearing 6pm. '' Ok, well I'm for lunch.'' he said exiting the room. He wasn't going to walk with David outside the dorms, he always manage to attract most attention and he didn't want any rumors on him. It would be too troublesome.

Ezra wasn't hungry, or well, he was hungry but he just felt like if he ate it would come back up immediately. David and Ezra were left in the room alone, and as they stared at eachother for a few moments not knowing what to say, David's face changed into something slightly more relaxed and... Slightly more seductive. He walked over and sat on Ezras bed because it was closer to him, cross legged he leaned closer to Ezra. "Why do you keep staring at me?" He asked, messing with his hair, "Is it because I'm gay? Are you interested or just disgusted?"


Ezra looked at him awkwardly, and cleared his throat, not knowing what to say, because he didn't really think that David was disgusting, and he wasn't interested in him, but why did he keep staring at him? "I uh... I don't know." He said, leaning back in his chair away from David.


"Your name is Ezra right?" David asked a strange look coming into his eyes and a half smile playing at his lips. "You ever kissed a guy, Ezra?" Ezra was nervous, his heart pounding in his chest and he was just so confused, this whole thing was just... Weird. Ezra shook his head and looked at David's half smile, it was as if he was planning something, and what was worrying was, what was that something? "Close your eyes, Ezra." David demanded softly, moving slightly closer, and Ezra didn't close his eyes at first because he just didn't know what was going on and he didn't want to be rude but he didn't want to kiss David! "Close your eyes," he demanded again, this time less softly more forcefully, so Ezra did as was told quickly, shutting his eyes and the world came into darkness. By now everybody in the whole dorm could have probably heard his heartbeat it was beating so fast and loud in his chest, and the feelings in his stomach were not helping the situation. David leaned closer, grinning a little and put his hand behind Ezras head, pulling himself closer he leaned in and was about to kiss him, but stopped, and instead he leaned back and looked at Ezra. His heart was hammering in his chest and he was panicking inside. Why had David just done that? Why did he go in to kiss him? Why did he stop? He opened his mouth to say something, before David cut him off. "I'll be going then." He didn't even say anything about the almost kiss, which annoyed Ezra as he was just so confused. David stood up and walked past Ezra quickly, when he got to the door he turned back and faced him. "Text me." He winked and walked out of the room, leaving Ezra sat on his chair completely silent and wondering what the hell had just happened.

Derek walked back in the room after a diner with David and Jessica. Jess insisted in knowing why Ezra didn't come, he saw the look David gave even if it was briefly he saw it. That guy always was a prankster and he knew all t well. He walked in the room like usual, never greeting first or rarely, he grabbed a small ball and started throwing it on the ceiling, catching it as it fell back in his hand. '' So..why didn't you come.''

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra shrugged, he was lying on his bed with a book but his thoughts were racing everywhere and he hadn't been able to concentrate since David had left. He didn't want to tell Derek what had happened though, and he sat up then. "I just wasn't hungry." He smiled and put his book on his desk, his cheeks a faint red colour as he thought about David's advance.

Derek rolled his eyes, " yes of course, i'm not blind you know." He stated dropping his ball on the floor. He turned over, his hair a bit messy. He stood back up and stripped away from his clothes to wear his normal pyjama, a pair of dark blue basket ball shorts and a white man tank top that fitted him perfectly. Even if he wasn't an athlete, he did have the shape of one.

Ezra looked away as Derek got changed and pulled his socks off, "What do you mean you're not blind?" He asked and checked the time, it was only around 8 so there was no point getting undressed right now. He messed his hair up a little and scratched the back of his neck and only looked at Derek once he was changed into his pyjamas.

" you know, we are only guys here no need to look away." Derek stated looking at his small library he had. He bent his knees and looked at the night table in between their beds. All his books were actually arranged by colour, thanks to jessica being bored once. "Damn that woman." He mumbled grabbing a book from Stefan King. He looked at the back of the book and then at Ezra with his intense brown eyes, " as in I see stuff when it happens." He stated. He didn't actually see the things but he could easily feel and notice the odd behaviours except when he wanted to turn a blind eye.

Ezra smiled and grabbed his book again, The Demons Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan, and sat upright on his bed leaning against the wall. "Well yeah I get you see stuff, but I don't know what you're talking about." He laughed a little, hiding his nervousness and confusion. He opened his book to the first page, his favourite book, he could probably recite the first line from heart he'd read it so many times. He didn't start reading though, eager to hear Derek's reply.

"Nothing really important, nevermind." Derek said not being the pestering type. He knew David did something but maybe he was wrong, maybe it wasn't with Ezra. Anyway, he didn't look like the gay type , not that he would assume someone would be gay by the looks. He sat on his bed and opened his book, Ms.Mercedes from stefan king.

Ezra nodded and sat in the room silently reading his book for the next three hours, he kept it silent and didn't pester Derek about what he meant because he was reading, and he didn't think that he'd want to be interrupted. He was halfway through his book when he noticed that it was eleven pm and so shut it and got changed into sweat pants and a dark blue top. He grabbed his sleeping pills and put two in his mouth quickly, hoping that Derek wouldn't ask him about it. He lied down on his bed and waited for them to kick in so he could fall asleep, still thinking of David. The next few days passed until it was finally Saturday, they had recorded guitar and vocals and were planning video ideas all week, and when Ezra finally woke up on saturday morning he was so glad he didn't have to go to class and he had a whole two days to do whatever he liked with Derek and Jessica, and even David, who hadn't done anything weird since that night.

Derek woke up feeling a bit more knocked up then usual. He rubbed his eyes and went to the shower. Once he finished, he walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Ezra woke up and was thankful that he'd showered the night before because he just couldn't be bothered to move at all. He checked his phone and had four missed calls from David, which was off since David never called. He put his phone down without calling David back and looked over at Derek even though he was practically naked, he ran his eyes over his chest and looked away quickly, pretending to be busy searching for something. He stood up and got dressed into black jeans and a 3/4 length sleeved top that had Donnie Darko on it. He looked in the mirror and sighed, the only bad thing about sleeping with wet hair was that when he woke up it was wavy, which didn't look too bad but he prefered it straight. While he was looking in the mirror a knock at the door sounded and he walked over and opened it, David stuck his head in, saying "Derek I'm borrowing Ezra for the day, don't expect him back for a few hours." He grabbed Ezras arms and pulled him, and Ezra shot a look at Derek that clearly screamed for help before he was pulled through the halls and onto the field.

Derek looked at both boredly,"so? Go ahead." He replied but then obviously Jessica stormed in giving him a huge hug. He was surprised of that, especially since he was almost naked. He didn't even have time to say anything before addressing herself to david and ezra." Where are you guys going? By the way, we should totally do something today!!"

David looked at Jessica and smiled, his hand still gripping Ezras wrist, Ezras face still sort of surprised. "Well, I'm stealing Ezra for maybe an hour but, I was thinking we could all go to the amusement park thats in town today!" He grinned, leaning against the doorframe, still not letting go of Ezras wrist, who was still just stood confused. Before Jessica could reply David grinned and pulled Ezra with him through the halls and his hand moved from his wrist until they were just holding hands. They ended up outside on the deserted field, everybody was probably in town today. David pulled Ezra behind some bushes where no one could see them and then sat down, pulling Ezra down next to him.

Jessica looked at both, just leaving and she shifted her eyes to Derek who was blushing. She touched his cheeks,"heeh what's wrong with you now? " she asked confused as to why he is blushing. Derek just grabbed his clothes and stepped back in the washroom."nothing." He said shyly.

David leaned in closer to Ezra and this time it wasn't a tease, he put his hands up to his face and kissed him, a long slow kiss that sent shivers down Ezras spine. He put his own hands up to David's face and the kiss got faster before they broke away. Ezra pulled back and stood up, confused and ashamed that he'd let that happen, David smirked up at him, and when Ezra walked away quickly he didn't stop him. Ezra walked to the dorm, and realised he'd forgot his key when he was pulled out of the room by David, so he walked to his sisters dorm room and knocked, she let him in, and he threw himself down on her ugly bed sheets.

Derek walked out of the washroom but wasn't expecting to see Jessica asleep on his bed. She probable ended up having those dreams again.. He thought. It often happened, she would dream of these and come to him almost in tears, but since Ezra and david were there, she probably didn't want to make drama. He pushed her a bit for him to lay himself to. He grabbed a book when she suddenly wrapped her arms around him, he could here sleepy whimpering. He put his book away and simply comforted her. He knew how much she did not sleep just because of this, and she was always so energetic just to hide it. He ended up dozing off, ezra still not in the room

An hour or so later Ezra walked back to his dorm room and knocked on the door, he put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall while he waited for it to be opened. Going to see his sister hadn't done anything except make him feel worse, she had simply sat in silence, judging him quietly while he told her everything, and eventually told him that he was just being stupid and that he'd get over it when he found a nice girl to date. Ezra sighed and remembered that as he and his sister were growing up these ideals had been drilled into him. His grandmother had been one of those "man shall not lie with man" types of people, and had drilled it into Genie who hung on to every word she said. And now this was happening to Ezra. He knocked again on the door, a little louder this time, when David came walking down the hall and stood outside the door with him. "Nothing happened, ok? If they ask, we hung out with some of my friends." Ezra nodded quietly and looked down at the floor.

Jessica shifted towards the warm body next to her, it was comforting and she kind of liked the closeness. She then opened her eyes and pushed herself away, not remembering who it was. She looked at the sleeping form of Derek and immediately relaxed, 'oh it's him." She thought. He was still asleep, she got closer again and hugged him while he did. Subconsciously, Derek wrapped his arms around her and closed the distance between them, his nose in her hair, actually snoring slightly. Jessica blushed but melted into his arms, he always had this effect on her but she never showed it, anyway not when he was awake. She stayed like this a few minutes until someone knocked on the door. She lazily unwrapped her arm and stood up lazily still with messy hair and her clothes not necessarily straight and she opened the door "heyy" she said with a small smile.

Ezra noted the messy hair and clothes as he walked in past Jessica, and David walked behind him, but he didn't want to ask about it, respecting their privacy. He walked towards his bed and sat down on it, took a deep breath and smiled at Jessica. "Hey," he said, while he leaned back onto the wall and grabbed his keys from his drawer, remembering that he should always keep them with him. He noted Derek sleeping on the bed snoring quietly and tried to figure out what had been going on in here, when David sat down on the bed next to him, putting his feet on Ezras lap. Ezra tensed up and looked over at Jessica, smiled at her, and said "How've ya been?"

 

[32sillylight32]

Jessica awkwardly smiled while fixing her loose hair into a messy bun, '' I kind of fell asleep and well that's about it.'' she said shrugging and looking at both guys. She grabbed hold of a bottle of water that was probably Derek's, and she drank from it looking at both. She wiped her mouth and looked at both, '' How about you guys? David didn't traumatize you too much? Cause I know he sure did with Derek.'' She added smirking and winking at David, him doing the same.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra was about to say something so opened his mouth, but David discretely dug his feet into Ezras thigh as though to say, 'let me do the talking.' David nodded at Jessica, "Oh yeah, me and Lily traumatised him loads." He said sarcastically, Ezra just looked at the floor, why wasn't David letting him speak? He tried to say something again but David pinched his arm this time, basically telling him to shut up. Ezra looked at David when Jessica wasn't looking, raised an eyebrow and mouthed 'what the fuck' to him, to which David just looked at him, shrugged, and mouthed back, 'sorry'.
