Sorrel felt himself being carried, and he felt wind brushing against his skin. "What's this?" He thought in the darkness of his own blackout. He heard Will, panting, maybe. "Oh goodness, I got the guy to carry me-" He said in his mind, with a little frustration. The wind stopped suddenly. He wondered if he was inside of a place or not. Floor, then. He felt some floor. And the sound of a door. Then, it hit him. "Am I at Will's place?" He asked himself, again, in his mind. Seconds later, he felt a couch, and some conversation between Will and another. "Nngh-" He said, aloud, very softly.

Ryan looked over at the couch. “Oh, you’re awake. Will carried you in a hurry and… that happened.”
Ryan pointed to the couch, a pale, sweaty Will with messy hair was drinking water from a 2 liter bottle.
Will stopped drinking his water and looked at Sorrel. “You’re ok… good…”
"I think, mmm, you sound exhausted." Sorrel said, quietly. He noticed Will's tiredness, his sweat, his ghastliness. "But are you okay?" He asked. "And who are you?" He said, looking a little towards Ryan.
Ryan groaned. “I’m Ryan… I’m Will’s roommate. He promised to bring home food, not a guy.”
Will blushed a bit. “No! No! Not like that! I told you he fainted.”
Will whipped the sweat off his face and fixed his hair, his skin tone slowly returned to normal. “Well… more like blacked out… and I’m fine…”
Ryan sighed. “Will you have my number on speed dial, you could have called me and I could have driver down. Just feel lucky that you didn’t pass out for a long time. It was only a little bit.”
Will managed a smile. “As long as everyone’s alright, that fine.”
(Yeah so a Ryan is a protective prick, Will and Ryan are cousins and Ryan has trust issues so rip.)
( Aww! That's honestly so alright- I love that. )
"Roomate…" Sorrel muttered. "That's cool, I bet it's nice to have company like, all the time." He said. He saw how Will and Ryan interacted, and directly assumed they'd known each other for a while. "Mind if I stay for a little? Maybe an hour or something? I know I've woken up but my senses aren't as quick…" He said, with a laugh.
(My response didn’t post… oof)
Ryan sighed. “Whatever. Just don’t try anything funny.”
Will smiled. “I would have said yes anyways, but he pays rent so…”
Ryan gives an annoyed sigh before going into the kitchen, he sat on a bar stool and began eating a bowl of noodles.
( R.I.P. It's fine, no worries at all! )
Sorrel half-smiled. "It's all good, I'm used to this kind of thing. I've got a friend who'd say the same as you." He said, with a mute laugh. He got himself up, and looked around. "It's not actually that bad here, it's nice." He said. He stood for maybe a few more observational minutes before having to sit himself back down.
“Ryan makes money off of streaming games he plays on his Xbox. I pay most of the bills because I make more then he does, but his money income is inconsistent. If he isn’t streaming he’s either out at the gym, or getting food.” Will said calmly.
Will got up and went over to the kitchen, grabbing food from the fridge, it wasn’t much, just a medium sized bowl of spaghetti. He didn’t bother warming it up, he just grabbed a fork and went back to the living room.
(Bruh this girl really asked where is Earth on a world map. Bruh. My brain. Help.)
( Haha! Sounds like something I'd have done about this time last year! )
"Oh wow." Sorrel marveled. The two seemed like they at least had their lives in order, and Sorrel (in all honesty) aspired to be that put-together. He noticed Will, and the spaghetti. He then noticed Ryan and his noodles. "You two seem like you ear a lot of Italian food. Is that just tonight's menu or am I actually right about something?" He asked.
“Eh, not really. I just eat mostly baked stuff… but if I don’t make anything baked I make easy food like Ramen or easy to make packs of noodles.” Will said.
Will looked over at Sorrel, putting the spaghetti on the glass table in front of the couch and recliners. “But we do eat a lot, yes. Mostly Ryan. He has to have a lot of calories with healthy food because of him working out so much. I just love food.”
"I'll admit, food really is great." He said, with an awkward laugh. He loved food, mostly pastries and whatnot. "Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are always my go-to." He added to the original thought. He couldn't cook anything that well, but he definitely had the money to eat out frequently.
Will looked at the TV, then walked over to it. He turned off the Xbox that was left on, and changed it to Will’s PlayStation classic. Will turned it on, it booted up, resting on a puzzle game which he started to play, sitting on the floor in front of the TV. He put another controller beside him.
“Why don’t you come join me, it helps my brain flow.” Will said, looking back at Sorrel with a calm smile.
"Oh. Sure!" Sorrel said. He moved to the floor, settling himself just behind the controller Will had set out for him. He had an interesting way of sitting, he called it the 'butterfly'. He grabbed the controller, and looked at it. "Just so you know, I'm awful at things like this, but I'll try my best!" Sorrel informed Will, with a shy expression.
( Puzzle games, oh my favorite kind of things! )
(I know they’re so good)
Will laughed a bit. “Don’t worry about it. It’s just for some fun.”
Will loved this game, it was interesting, and kept him on his feet. It took a lot of planing, but speed and strategy was all he needed. Will went to the character select screen, there were anime chibi characters, three males, all muscular, and females. Will selected a cat like female, who was the worst in the game according to the internet.
“You can pick whoever you want.” Will smiled, he was comfortable here, his home, next to Sorrel, it felt somewhat fictional.
Sorrel smiled as he looked upon the choices. He chose a really small guy, who looked almost helpless. Little did he know, the guy wasn't that bad. "I think I like him, he's cute." Sorrel said. The thought of the game really excited him. "I'm so glad I'm here right now, this isn't at all how I expected to spend my afternoon but it's so cool." He added.
“That’s great to hear, and remember, you can stay as long as you like. Ryan may be off about it, but whenever you need it, you can stay here.”
Will looked at the screen, it started, Will started to build combos quickly, he couldn’t help it… Will knew he should’ve able to go easy on Sorrel, but he also knew his character did no damage from combos…
Sorrel's face grew even happier from his pleasure, if it was even able to. He began slow, trying to figure out how things were supposed to work. He thought a little bit, and then he realized exactly how things worked. "This isn't so bad..!" He exclaimed, as he worked a little bit out. He made a few combos, unsure of what they did.
Will smiled. “Isn’t it fun? It’s my favorite game.”
Will slowed down a bit, landing attack combos, sending blocks over to Sorrel’s side. He felt mean for doing so, but it was part of the game. Guilt built over Will. Why do I feel bad? I beat Ryan all the time…
Sorrel grimaced, a look of utmost confusion built on his face. He kept trying, harder and harder, but everything he was doing ended up only a minuscule bit better. He thought about how he kept trying, and how Will was so freaking good at the game. He suddenly burst out laughing, taking on such a bright smile. "This is awesome!" He exclaimed. "I'm so glad you chose this one!"
Will jumped a bit from the sudden laughter, killing himself (in game) in the process, making him loose. Will blushed a lot of embarrassment. Will was never frightened, or felt scared, why did he jump? Will put down the controller and turned his head away, hiding most with his hands.
Sorrel looked intently towards Will, with such a caring smile. "Dude, I can't believe I actually won, you must have thrown our game." He said, as he noticed Will's hiding state. "Hmm, don't be embarrassed now." He purred. He slightly moved closer to Will, nothing extreme. He poked Will's cheek.
Will blushed a ton, not knowing why, he got slightly more nervous. “I guess I got scared and jumpy…”
Ryan looked into the other room and glared. “Stop flirting I’m trying to eat.”
Sorrel's eyes widened with surprise at Ryan's comment. "H-Hey, it's not like that." He said, even though in reality he felt like it was. He might have actually been falling for Will. "I-I'm sorry, haha." He muttered, awkwardly.
Ryan put his dishes away and walked into the room, looking at the tv. “You turned off the Xbox, good. I was streaming, then I shut off the stream, and forgot to turn off the Xbox. My bad.”
Will sighed, his face was still extremely red, he got up and walked over to Ryan. “You always leave it on, you know I pay the electric bill, it’s always so expensive from you leaving it on like that…”
