Braxton looked at the number the woman at the front desk had given him, then at the walls where there were small plates with numbers etched on them. He had been up and down the hall but he just couldnt seem to find his room. He finally found it, using the key she had given him to open the door. So far, there wasnt anyone with him. And he kind of liked it that way. He tossed his duffle bags on the bed farthest from the door, putting his key in the drawer of the nightstand beside his bed. This room seemed to be one that only fit two people, on account of there being only two beds in the small, confined space. There was a desk, which he doubted he would use... He was a drummer, not a writer. He pulled his drumsticks from his bad and shoved them in the drawer with the key.
He picked up the cage which held his snake, a garden snake coiled up inside it. He was a good snake, stayed inside the small cage without getting out. He fed it a small rat, the ritual of feeding no longer bothering him. It was just how the poor creature ate. And it only had food every three months...
He walked to the dresser at the foot of his bed, beginning to unpack his things.

Mathew laughed loudly, dropping off his sister by the girl's dorms. A large husky padded softly by his side, her head tilted slightly to the left as she can ahead of his. Her large paws up against their room, barking madly. "Alright, alright Sara. Relax girl." he laughed again, patting her massive head fondly as he shoved his key into the door. Matt forced it open, letting Sara in before himself. He walked inside, the stopped. Staring.
"B-brax?" he asked, unbelieving. His video game chimed, already starting itself up at Sara's touch. The dog then jumped onto the second bed, staring at the intruder calmly. The keys fell out of his hands slowly as he shut the door, unsure if he should be alone with the boy.

Braxton dropped his shirt and turned around to face the familiar voice, his back to the wall. His face flushed completely, loosing all color. His heartbeat quickened as he choked out words.
"M-Mat? I-.." He tried to speak, but the words refused to come out. He bit down on his lip, butterflies errupting in his stomach. Of all people he had to share a dorm with. He thought he would never see him again, never share another moment with the boy. And here they were, standing in shock and staring at each other. Suddenly, the apartment he was going to rent didnt seem like such a bad idea...

Every atom in his body was rushing forward, pulling him to fill that gap between them. He dared to take a step forward, drawing in a deep breath. "I'll get a different dorm, comeon Sara..." Mathew reached for the doorknob, fully prepared to take another step out of Brax's life. Sara, on the other hand, had different ideas. "Woof!" she almost tackled the boy, licking his face wildly, her tail wagging in the air. "Sara!" he rushed forward, trying to pull his dog off Brax. She wiggled slightly, causing to Matt to fall on top Brax. Sara barked again, jumping back to Matt's bed as if that were her main plan.

Braxton looked up at him, his eyes wide. His body ached for Mathews touch. But he knew it wouldnt happen. There was a hollow feeling in his stomach, then wave of butterflies. A blush crept across his cheeks, bringing color back to his face. The dog was smart..
"I-..." He stammered, pushing himself up on his elbows, only to find himself closer with the boy. His eyes widened further as he tried to decide whether this was a mistake or a blessing..

Mathew didn't want to move, didn't want to lose the feeling of touching Brax. "I'm sorry..." he said slowly, pulling away though each movement pained him. He hadn't moved away far, and kept his arm out to help Brax up. Everything was screaming for him to pin the boy to a bed, but he forced it away. Wanting to be a gentlemen. Sara barked again, almost grinning at Brax as if she were closer to human then dog.

Braxton pulled himself back up and walked to his dresser, continuing to unpack. Thoughts were racing through his mind. He was positive he wasnt interested, positive he didnt want him anymore than he wanted him that random day on the street. He was just another guy, one who would never mean anything to Mat.
Aeron, his snake, drew its head through the hole in the cage, opening its mouth and baring its fangs at the dog, about to strike until Braxton grabbed him. "Bad Aeron!"
He coiled him around his wrist as he continued to unpack his clothes. The snake glared at Mat, hissing. Braxton tapped him on the head and he stopped, his eyes still boring into Mat.

Matt glared back at the snake, knowing that was probably the worst move he could make. He moved slowly, resting a hand on Brax's shoulder, feeling his heart beating faster. Words floated around inside his mind, words he would never dare say in fear of scaring away the first guy he'd actually fallen for. His twin always told him, If you don't feel something in the first moment, then you never will. So the same must apply here, how else could a stranger get him to feel like this?

Brendan shrugged him off and continued to put his things in his drawer. His snake creeped up his arm, but Braxton grabbed him and tapped him on the head. He walked to his bag to grab the other duffel bag, nothing but anger about him. He tossed it at the dresser, then followed it, unzipping it and starting to unpack it.

Mathew sighed, grabbing Sara by the collar. "Comeon girl, we gotta find ourselves another room." he gave her a small smile, gently patting her between the ears. Sara whinned, turning around to look at Brax then back at her master, trying to decide where to go with this. Mathew tugged at her collar again, trying to lead her to the door. "Let's go, Sara. We gotta get our stuff out." he complained, not wanting to look at Brax. He was trying not to cry, not to break down in front of a guy who obviously hated him. If he was homophobic to other gays, why the hell didn't he mention it sooner. Like, before they kissed would have been an amazing time to mention it. But no, he had to wait till they got home to drag all the crappers back. Sara whined again, trying to pull Matt back to Brax.

Braxton glanced at him, that hollow feeling returning to his stomach. For once in his life, he didnt know what to do about things. He arugued with himself in his head, then walked to Mat, pressing his lips to the boys. He wa afraid he was making the biggest mistake of his life, but he didnt care. He wanted everything to be right again. He was tired of wandering around, looking for someone when that someone could be right here... If only he would have seen it sooner.

Matt pulled Brax closer, wrapping his arms around the boys waist to keep him there. His heart thudded beneath his chest, running it's own marathon. He was sick of being alone, sick of having nothing warm beside him other then Sara. All he had ever wanted was someone to hold, someone he didn't have to share with the rest of the world. Mathew bit his lip, wanting to speak but not wanting to rush anything, but it didn't matter. It wasn't like he was about to confess his love or anything. "Stay... Please don't go..." his words were quiet, simple carrasses to the other boy.

Braxton shook his head. He couldnt be pryed from mat with a crowbar at this point. He was happy, content to be in his arms. And not wanting to be anywhere else. This was like heaven to him.
"Never..." He mumbled, putting his head on Mats chest. He didnt want to leave him, even though he wasnt technically with him. He felt the butterflies return, then disapointment. He looked away.
"Mat...What are you thinking?" he asked, noticing the spacy look on the guys face.

Mathew looked down at him, giving a shy smile. "Nothing bad, I swear.." his voice still quiet, the husky accent turning the words to silk. He kept the boy in his arms, finding comfort in the warmth of another body next to his. "Just... Would.. Would you like to sleep in my bed? Just sleep, nothing perverted. I swear." he asked slowly, not wanting to sleep alone if he could help it.

Braxton looked up at Mat with widened eyes, Mat being much taller than Braxton could ever hope to be. He found Mat to be the most attractive guy he had ever seen. His skin was perfect, nearly flawless. Braxton reached up and ran his hand through Mats hair, nodding his head slowly.
"I-I would love to sleep with you..." He murmured, caressing his cheek gently. He wanted to lean up, to kiss Mat again, to be his someone special. He bit his lip gently, wrapping his arms around Mats neck.
