Beach Boys Dorm
Rocket woke up to a loud jarring thud,
Jerking awake, she looked around frantically, only to see Dynamite somehow STILL sleeping after the top half of her body fell out of bed.
Literally,
her head and arms were on the floor and her legs were still twisted in the covers on the bed.
Rocket didn’t even want to know how that was physically possible.
But yet the position did look really uncomfortable, and she slowly remembering all the kind things Dyna did for her last night.
Quick note— could she call her Dyna now? That was actually a catchy nickname. She would have to ask that later.
Anywho, now she had a strong urge to repay that kindness and just do something as simple as shift her back into bed.
Though that would also mean risking waking her up, and if the scar on her hairline had a say in it, it would be frantically telling her to LEAVE HER BE.
But Rocket was a nice person and completely ignored that urge.
Getting up, she tiptoed across the room to where Dynamite was still slumbering peacefully.
With as much gentleness as she could muster, she hooked her hands underneath the girls arms and lifted, biting her lip to keep from making any noises of strain.
she was successfully able to maneuver the heavy sleeper back into bed.
She took a final look at her unconscious roommate, giving a nod of accomplishment, before going to get ready for the day.
It was during brushing her hair when she heard the telltale signs of Dynamite waking up.
Seriously she could not understand that girls sleep radar.
Dynamite stumbled into the 2 sink bathroom the girls shared, looking dead on her feet.
Rocket think she was able to recognize a nod vaguely in her direction, as the girl grumbled something completely unintelligible. Now sounding like a Zombie as well.
“Rough sleep?”
“Gusuhehtbbcoommm”
“Ok I think that had at least the structure of a word?” The blonde chuckled back.
“Fukshirehsdi”
Rocket turned her head, “ok now I know that was the beginning of a curse word! Dyna you need some coffee now!”
She slowly tested out the nickname now, to see if their was any reaction. Of course, since she was still half asleep, nothing happened. Rocket was pretty sure an actual bomb could go off and it wouldn’t even appear on her radar.
The brunette trudged around the small room aimlessly, looking very out of it.
Her feet hooked around another, and if it wasn’t for Rocket standing their, Dynamite would have fallen face first onto the hard tile.
“Ok, hey your good ok?” The blonde whispered, as her arm wrapped around the slender girls waist. She carefully hoisted the girl back into her two feet. Making sure she was stable before letting go.
Oh no.
Her face simultaneously paled and reddened as a strong burning sensation lit across her arm where it had met the skin of Dynas hips.
It was too brunt to ignore or repress, so she took the worst of it, as the feeling that normally only came from being around Flame, oddly started in dynamites presence.
She immediately put the brush down, speed walking into the dorm room to grab her things and go.
She needed to leave, she couldn’t be in the same room as Dynamite. She had to leave and figure out what the hell was happening.
“Hey?” Rockets head whipped around, a literally out of nowhere Wide awake Dynamite in her sight lines.
“H-hey?” She replied weakly. Dynamite continued to simultaneously brush her hair and pull on her outfit.
“Just hold on a sec, we can walk to the cafeteria together.”
Their was no room for question in their, and if Rocket refused now she would extinguish any sort of friendship they had in the last day or so.
So she reluctantly waited for the girl. Trying to nonchalantly keep a little bit of space between them as they walked.
“So where’s Geek? He’s usually with you right?” Dynamite tried to initiate conversation.
Rocket momentarily balked, not used to this, but quickly regaining her composure.
“Yeah! Um, I usually meet him at his dorm in the morning, but I bet he’ll understand that I decided to walk with you this morning-“
“No,no,no, none of that,” The brunette shot down with a wave of her arms, “I’ll go with you! I like geek! He’s fun to be around!”
Rocket smiled, “He thinks your pretty fun too.”
Dynamite just clicked two finger guns into the air, causing the two to burst into giggles.
It was kinda surreal walking down the halls with someone besides Geek.
she got more attention from people waving hi to the both of them, who normally ignored her with a whispered ‘Rocket case’ prepared and readied.
Along the way, they also came across Flame, who met Dynamite with a kiss on the lips.
Her presence both made Rockets heart jump and put her at ease.
“Hey,” she called out smoothly , “I’m glad to see your ok Rox!”
WAIT WHAT?!
Oh man , oh wow, a personal nickname? Did flame just give her a personal nickname? Ok she was definitely starting to really swelter in the two girls presence, the possibility of accidentally brushing against them growing larger and more terrifying.
“Um Rocket? You ok?” Dynamite prompted waving a hand in front of her face.
It was then Rocket realized she had froze.
Again.
Too her mortal embarrassment and yet somehow appreciation, Flame decided to comment.
“Oh no Babe, just give her a sec. Rox does this all the time. Just give her a few secs to reboot her system.” She spoke with a wisecracking smile.
As if predicting the future, Rocket was able to function once again after a few moments.
“I-uh...um. I’m good.?” She choked out. These ‘waves’ happened enough for her to know communication was somewhat dimmed for a few moments.
Flame grinned widely, nodding to Dynamite who followed suit.
“See! I told you so!” She teased lightly.
The brunette rolled her eyes, “wow you showed me.”
“Uh...uhh, Geek, Dorm?” Rocket struggled to form actual human words.
She was usually not this bad, but like now their was two incredible hot girls in front of her and it was making her brain go crazy.
—Wait. Hot girls? Since when did she think girls were hot? She was straight? Oh my god this is an entirely new thing that just appeared and she needed to find and confide in Geek more then ever!
Flame gave her a searching look, as if trying to deduce what she said, but this time it was Dynamite with the helpful hint.
“Oh, she just means we were heading over to Geeks dorm. Wanna join?”
To Rockets horrible midlife crisis, Flame nodded enthusiastically.
“Sure yeah! I’ll go along, Geeks ur best friend right?”
Rocket literally couldn’t speak, but managed to nod her head in agreement.
The red haired girl cocked her head to the side, “Your taking a little extra time to reboot aren’t ya?”
Wow. Rocket did not think she could be any more embarrassed, Confident she was blushing so hard she was about to combust into millions of little pieces.
Thankfully, Dynamite took pity on her.
Nudging flame in the ribs with her elbow,
“Come on, don’t tease her. Let’s get going, i want to get to the cafeteria already!”
Flame laughed, “Man, you should replace the gunpowder with crushed coffee beans and their’d be no difference!”
And just like that, the panic Rocket was feeling dissipated, as the three slipped into a comfortable walking and conversation on the way to geeks room.
Still though she had to pay attention where her arms were swinging, she didn’t think she could bare to accidental touch them. She might literally explode.
Finally, after what felt like hours of stiffly walking, they arrived at Geeks dorm.
Rocket held a hand up, signally then to hold on.
Knocking on the door, the blonde patiently waited for her best friend to show.
The door opened slightly, and through the gap you could see a tired and disheveled Geek.
“Ugh, Rocket? why are you here so early you know I like to uh-...”
It was then he realized They were not alone.
and from the blush appearing on his face, and the subtly movement to hide his lower half behind the door, Rocket made a guess that he wasn’t wearing his shorts.
They were so close they knew private stuff like that and weren’t embarrassed by it,
But he definitely could still be embarrassed in front of complete strangers of the opposite gender.
Thankfully the shadows from the room had hid anything from being seen.
An arm abruptly shot out from the darkness and grabbed hold of rocket, yanking her inside, and slamming the door behind them.
“Shit Rocket!” He cursed, his cheeks aflame, “you could have warned me you were bringing girls over!”
Rocket bit her tongue, refraining from commenting on the fact that she was a girl herself.
He nervously bumbled around, finding a pair of Green authorized shorts and pulled them up over his blinding white underwear.
Rocket grimaced, “Sorry G, they kinda ambushed me as I was leaving, and on my way here. Their was no time for me to say anything.”
Geek ran his hands through his hair, obviously a little irritated with the whole situation.
“The good news is the room was so dark you couldn’t see anything waist down.” The blonde offered meekly.
Geek accepted that with pleasure, happy he wasn’t just humiliated out of his wits.
“Well, glad that panic is over. What about you?”
Rockets head turned from where she still saw a sleeping Beach Boy.
He could snore pretty loudly, but no where nearing Dynamites impossible volume.
* Beach Boy - Party animal/Ladies man. He didn’t take much seriously unless it was related to surfing or getting the ultimate tan. Girls usually swooned over his strong jawline and his beach hair, but Rocket just thought he was a bit to cocky. Sure he liked to have fun, but a guy could only lick his finger and slick his eyebrow down so many times in one day.
“What do you mean?” She murmured quietly.
Geek looked at her knowingly, “Rocket, come on it’s me! I know something was going on. You looked more flustered then me and I was the one with no pants!”
She blushed immediately, looking down at her shoes.
“I don’t fully know,” she eventually admitted, “But for a while now, it’s almost unbearable to be around them!”
Geek looked curious, resting his chin on his fist, “How so?”
“It’s like, I keep getting these ‘waves’,” she tried to explain, “Where I just freeze. Cause I’m so overwhelmed by something they just said or I’m blinding by their really soft faces and dazzling hair.”
The curly haired boy chuckled, “Wow id never thought you’d be one to say the word ‘Dazzling’”
“Oh shut up.” She growled.
Geek raised his hands in defense, submitting easily.
“Chill girl! My bad. Just continue on.”
It took a few minutes but Rocket eventually complied.
“Besides the fact that I can’t form words or breath properly around them, every time I touch their skin, and no I don’t even mean like a hug or something. I mean the barest of arms brushes when walking.
I immediately feel a burning sensation just where they were.”
The boy pondered this, going over everything that was said.
“Ya know what you just described right?” He genuinely asked.
Rocket gave him a dumbfounded look, “If I did do you think I’d be asking you?”
“True.” He nodded, “But it’s actually gonna sound really obvious once I say it.”
“Well get on with it!” Rocket urged impatiently.
...
“You have a crush, on both of them.”
Rocket froze.
Cause why not.
