The morning sunrise slowly lulled Noah awake. He drifted in and out of sleep, smiling when he felt Rachel slowly cuddle against him. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she buried her face in his chest, gripping him tightly. He brushed his hand gently through her hair, his heartwarming at the sound of her soft snores.
The room was uncomfortably hot, and the heat caused their skin to stick together. But Noah didn't mind. It brought them closer together, it made him feel safe.
He felt as though he could stay in this moment forever.
Then the door to his room burst open with a loud thud. Noah looked over to find his roommate, Frederick, standing in its frame.
"Sorry, hope I wasn't interrupting anything," Frederick said in an overly soft tone. The voice fit his soft body and disheveled appearance. He pushed up his thick-framed glasses as he watched Rachel slowly begin to wake up.
Noah instinctively sat up and covered Rachel's bare skin with his blanket, she took the blanket and pressed it around her chest as she also slowly came to.
"Hey Rachel," Frederick said with a smile.
"Hey Fred," Rachel said back, still half asleep as she began to search for her dress.
"Looks like you two had a fun night together," Frederick said.
"Don't make it weird," Noah grumbled. He knew Fred was harmless when it was just them. Fred was a shy, kind, and funny guy who loved computer science nearly as much as competitive gaming. It was easy to talk to him, and Noah genuinely saw him as a friend.
But when Rachel was around, it only took him seconds to devolve into a horny degenerate.
"Could you give us a minute?" Noah asked. Frederick's eyes slowly shifted over to him.
"Hmmm? Oh, yeah of course. Don't worry about me, do your thing." Frederick remained where he was and smiled. Noah frowned.
"Fred, can you leave the room so we can get dressed?"
Frederick let out a long and agitated sigh.
"Fine..." Frederick mumbled something under his breath that Noah couldn't hear, but he disregarded it as the door closed behind him. He looked over at Rachel who had just finished putting her dress on.
"What time is it?" She asked sleepily. Noah grabbed his phone from the nightstand.
"A little past nine," He said.
"Oh god, I'm late for class." Rachel fumbled out of bed, Noah couldn't help but smile as she wandered around the room aimlessly to collect her things.
"I don't know if showing up to class in that dress is the best idea," Noah said. Rachel looked down at herself before letting out a warm laugh.
"Good point. Do you think I could borrow a hoodie and some joggers?"
"Of course," Noah said with a smile. He slid out of bed and walked over to the small closet next to his desk, pulling out a hoodie along with a pair of grey joggers. "Here, these are my smallest pair."
"Thank you," Rachel leaned forward and kissed him gently on the cheek. "How's my hair?"
"Uh..." It looked like Rachel had been electrocuted. Noah failed miserably at containing his smile.
"Oh god, is it that bad?" She asked with a laugh.
"It could be worse," Noah said, laughing along with her. She quickly hopped out of her dress and into Noah's clothes, walking over to the small mirror he had hanging on the wall.
"Oh my god, it's a rat's nest. A ponytail will have to do I have absolutely no time. Do you think you could grab my books for me and drop them off when you get a chance? I'm already ten minutes late." Rachel tied her hair up as she spoke, Noah watched in complete awe as she did so.
The gentle motion of her wrists, the way her hips swayed playfully as she tried to hurry herself along. Every one of Rachel's actions made Noah fall in love with her even more.
"Of course," He replied gently. "Your class is in the science building, right?"
"Yes, modern anthropology in room 223. I'll be in the back like always." She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thank you," She said softly before kissing him on the cheek once again. As she pulled away, Noah grabbed her and pulled her back in for another kiss. His heart fluttered as her soft lips pressed against his, and as they parted, Rachel placed her head on his chest.
"Wish I could stay with you all day," She said.
"You're too much of a rule follower to ditch class."
"Ugh, you're right. The guilt would crush me. Ok, I really should get going!" Rachel opened the entry door, finding Fredrick waiting patiently on the other side. She gave him a polite nod before turning back to Noah. "Thanks again, love you!"
"Love you too," Noah said.
"Love you three," Frederick added awkwardly. Rachel ignored him, giving Noah a final wave before heading down the hallway. Frederick laughed at his own joke as he shamelessly stared at Rachel's ass.
"Man oh man, she really is something..." Frederick said more to himself than to Noah. Fredrick sauntered into the room and sat on his bed. Noah didn't acknowledge him as he continued to get dressed and gather his things.
"Not even going to wash the sex off you, huh?"
"Jesus Fred, we talked about this," Noah said.
"What? I'm not saying it's a bad thing! I'd be doing the same if I had a sweet treat like that... I wouldn't leave her alone for a minute, and she'd be begging me to stay with her every night."
Noah looked at Fred, dumbfounded, and watched as his roommate placed both his hands over his head with a triumphant smirk.
"Why do you have to be so fucking weird around Rachel? You know that kind of stuff makes her uncomfortable."
