•Chapter 9•

Pavitr was startled awake by a loud banging attacking his ears. After a few seconds of simply praying it would go away, he sat up and looked around for the source of the incredibly annoying sound.

He looked across the room and noticed his door was shaking each time a bang sounded. After a while, he had finally realised what the noise was. It was someone knocking on the door.

"Ey, Pav, ya up yet?" A familliar voice said, knocking at his door quicker now. Pav flopped back down in bed, recognising the voice as his roommate and newfound crush Hobie.

"Yea.. i am now." Pav grumbled, hiding his face in his hands to shield them from the light coming from the window parallel to his bed.

" 'pologies mate, s' just gettin a bit late is all, ya just seem like the early type, yea?" The knocking stopped as the taller man spoke, though by the way his door leant inward slightly, pav figured Hobie was leaning on it.

"I normally am.. wait a second- what time is it?!"

"S' like.... twelve? Maybe 'alf past 'o summat, i dunno"

"Its twelve thirty?! We're supposed to meet them at one!"

"Yea, 'alf an 'our is plenty o' time."

Pavitr gave an exasperated sigh and practically jumped out of bed, abandoning the warmth in exchange for panic at his lack of preperation time. Eventually, he picked out a nice outfit (he was, whether consciously or not, trying to impress someone) and laid it out on his bed before finalising this choice and putting it on.

It was a long sleve blue jumper with a golden heart design, filled in by a spider web and a small spider hanging from it, along with black baggy jeans with small rips at the knees and alot of gold jewlery.

As soon as he walked out of his room he smelt burning, and looked over to the kitchen to see the microwave was open, the inside of it covered in black spots. Looks like this wasnt the first time something was burnt in there. Averting his gaze to the table, he saw Hobie sitting next to a plate of burnt hash browns. That was what the smell was coming from.

"Hobie.. what is that"

"I tried making summat, 'd say it turned out okay"

"How about we leave the cooking to me? Because those are burnt. To a crisp."

"Mkay, but if your an 'orrible chef im gonna say summat"

"Sure you will. Anyway, we dont need food because were going to a cafe"

"Aight, better get goin' then, huh?" Hobie said, standing. That was the first time Pavitr had seen him in non-dress code clothing and only one word could form in his brain. Wow. Pavitr was absolutely dumbfounded, he didn't know what to say. Hobie looked absolutely stunning.

Hobie was wearing a leather jacket with the sleves torn off, the lapels covered in tons of different badges and patches. Beneath the jacket was a low cut purple t-shirt with the bottom torn, showing his stomach, along with a pair of very ripped black skinny jeans, and his many piercings all shone in any light out upon him. He also wore tall, platform boots, adding to his already impressive height. Pavitr was stunned, feeling oddly underdressed around the taller man

Pavitr must've been staring because he was snapped back to reality a moment later to the sound of Hobie clearing his throat. Pav looked up to see the taller man smirking down at him.

"What'cha starin at love?"

"Nothing! The floor just looked extra floor-ey today- i uhhh" Pavitr managed go get out, face reddening, partially because he was embarrased and partially because he was flustered by the pet name.

"Hurry up then, we gotta go" Pav said hurreidly, running past Hobie and to the front door, holding it open for the other man.

Hobie walked through the door, speaking quietly as he walked past so only Pavitr could hear,

"Thanks gorgeous"

And then he winked at Pavitr, taking joy in the way the shorter mans cheeks reddened very obviously whenever he did the smallest flirty gesture.

Pavitr once again felt his cheeks heat as he looked away for a moment, blushing uncontrollably while Hobie smirked at him from the other side of the door.

Pav quickly walkedo out of the dorm and locked it behind him, turning back to find Hobie way closer than he'd expected him. He was way taller than Pavitr expected, and he had to crane his neck up just to meet his gaze.

"How is he that tall?" Pavitr thought. Well, he thought he'd thought it, but instead he said it out loud.

" 'M just naturally tall"

"Huh? Did i say that out loud?! Im so sorry if that was rude-"

"Calm down, 's fine"

Neither of them stepped back, staring at another despite the obvious hight difference. All of a sudden, Pavitr was tackled in a tight hug. Turns out, Gwen and Miles showed up and saw the whole thing.

Pav hugged Gwen back and saw out of the corner of his eye Hobie death staring her. He was curious why, did they know eachother? Gwen detatched from Pavitr and turned to Hobie, holding out her hand

"Hi, im Gwen, Pavitr's best friend! You must be Hobie"

"Yea, nice to meet cha" Hobie said, shaking her hand, confused and the formal greeting.

"Nice to meet you too"

"Sup, im Miles, we've met right?" Miles said, walking up after Gwen, looking at Hobie.

"Yea, we've met"

Gwen and Miled moved to walk next to one another, laving Hobie and Pavitr to walk next to one another.

"So, Pav, is she ya girlfriend or summat?" Hobie said quiet enough that only Pavitr could hear him.

"What?! No no no, Gwen is dating Miles"

"Oh.. why'd she rugby tackle hug ya then?"

"We're both just big on hugs is all" Pav replied, smiling up at Hobie.

"Hey, we're here!" Gwen said, turning to the other two and nodding to the cafe in front of them.

"Cool, lets go!" Pavitr exclaimed, subconsciously grabbing Hobies wrist to lead him inside.
