Freshmen Dorms

Jake rubbed his eyes grabbing the can of dog food from the cupboard he opened it up and poured it Nova's bowl and watched him devour it, Jake's stomach growled in response and he realized he hadn't eaten all day and he was starving too.

Jacob had remembered Seth mentioning doing something like that earlier and he just nodded and he opened the fridge door scavenging for food, he looked up at Ashton, needing to get his mind off of Evelyn, "Um hey did you guys eat already? I'm freaking starving."

"Ordered a pizza, should be here," Ashton began, looking up from the textbook on his lap, just as there was a buzzing from one of the dorm phones. He got up and disappeared into his room to let the don on duty know that he'd be down.

Ashton walked back out, tugging on his shoes, kicked his twin's door to get him to come out and headed downstairs to get the pizza.

Jacob went and sat on the couch sighing, he moved Ashton's books to the table and lay on the couch he was just kind of tired from everything that took place today. He heard one of the doors open and saw Antonio emerge from his room.

"Hey bro, where have you been all day? We tried calling you but you didn't answer and saw your status did you really lose your phone?" Tony asked sitting on the arm rest of the couch letting Jake stretch out.

"Its somewhere... and yeah sorry I was out all day kind of taking care of some stuff." He said absentmindedly.

Ashton returned with the pizza just as its scent brought both Lucifer and Nova out of hiding.

The cat stiffened, puffing up like an angry duster when it saw the puppy across the room. Nova growled.

Ashton ignored this and set the pizza on the table. "Yo, get while it's hot," he remarked.

Jake lifted himself off the couch and Tony followed. Jake, went to the box and took a couple of slices from it. Nova whining by his legs he ripped off some of the crust and gave it to Nova who chewed on it happily, while Jake ate away at it happy to have food in his system.

Ashton was watching the silvery feline as he ate, which was now glaring at Nova. "Is that going to be a - " he started to say.

Lucifer gave a warning hiss and dove at Nova's piece of pizza crust.

" - problem?" Ashton finished.

Jake glared down at the damned feline, and kicked lightly in the rear and threw down half a slice of pizza at him, "Damn cat." He grabbed a paper towel and put a couple more slices on it and whistled low for Nova to follow him to his room.

Jake opened his door and put the slices on the floor, and let Nova eat them happily and closed the door to ensure that no more fighting broke out between the animals.

"Thank God we have two pizzas," Ashton said as Jake returned. "How do you expect to feed both the humans and the animals? Didn't that dog already eat?"

Lucifer glowered at Jake and bit him in the ankle.

"Yeah I did but he only ate once today, so I don't blame him for being hungry but Luce is just annoying in general." He said glaring at Lucifer and wincing slightly. The stupid cat had bit him so much there that it didn't even hurt so much anymore.

Ashton cringed, finishing off his slice and starting another.

At that second, the phone in Seth's room rang shrilly. Seth, noticing he'd lost his keycard somewhere, had thrown a thick towel over the door so it wouldn't close.

Ashton glanced at Jake, felt sorry for him and got up, walking to Seth's room with his pizza.

He came back out and said, "Jake, the don on duty is looking for Seth. He said to uh, give the phone to someone who might know when he'd be back. Can you take it?"

Jake arched an eyebrow and wondered why the RA was looking for Seth? Then again it was Seth, there was no need to question it.

"Yeah sure." Jake said, taking the phone from Ashton he put it up to his ear, "Hello?"

"Yeah, we have here a problem down in the laundry room. Seth Andreasis is your roommate, I'm guessing. His drivers' license was found in one of the jeans he left down in a washer here, along with several loads of laundry. He's somehow flooded three washers. Please come downstairs and take his things and he owes a fine." the guy on the other end said dryly. He added after a pause, "Please tutor him in using a washing machine, for all of our sakes. The cleaning crew really does not appreciate this."

Ashton raised an eyebrow at Jake as he finished his slice.

Jacob narrowed his eyes at the phone and mentally cursed Seth wherever the hell he was he let out a sigh and rubbed his temple with one hand, "I uh, I'm his roommate I know he'll be gone for a few hours do you want me to come down and get his stuff, cause I really don't know when he will be back, I've kind of been out of communication with him for most of the day."

"I did just ask that you come downstairs, yes," the guy said smoothly.

Lucifer stalked over to Antonio, leaped up onto a chair beside his, and then onto the table.

"Hey listen, I'll come get it okay? Its not like he did this intentionally. Besides he knows how to use a washing machine, its probably those ancient ass pieces of machinery you call washing machines acting up. But hey don't worry with our money I'm sure you can fucking fix it." Jake snapped hanging up the phone in the guys face. God, stupid Seth always had to ruin something even if he didn't mean to.

But Jake honestly felt like his mom sometimes, he went in his room to grab his wallet and looked back at the twins, sighing, "Okay Seth somehow managed to damage three washing machines in the freaking laundry room and the RA is all pissed so I'm gonna go there and get his shit."

"Three?!" Ashton asked stunned, while Lucifer dove onto Antonio's plate and snagged his pizza slice. "Wait, that does sound like him. But he...doesn't he know how to use 'em?"

Antonio yelped dropping his plate and watched Lucifer dive after his slice, "Dude how the hell does someone fuck up three washing machines?!" Tony asked making it sound like it was so impossible, which for most people even the mentally retarded yes that would be an impossible feat, but not for Seth Andreasis.

"Guys its Seth, of course he'd manage to do something like this. Even if he didn't mean it, I don't know those machines were old anyway, and yeah those machines aren't that hard to use, even I know how to do my own laundry, so who knows? Anyway I have to go down there get his shit and since he's not here pay his stupid fine, so I'll be back... again." Jake grumbled beyond frustrated how was it that lately his luck just went from unlucky to downright shitty?

Jake pulled on his sneakers and walked out of their suite and decided to take the damn stairs, to make sure that the RA didn't have a heart attack from having to wait a moments longer.

He arrived at the laundry room, and he could feel the floor behind him was soaked and he saw the RA and a couple of maintenance guys with disgruntled expressions on their faces, Jake walked over to the guy and said, "Hey I'm Seth's roommate, I'm here to claim his stuff."

Ashton watched Tony's slice vanish up Lucifer's mouth. "Cat got your slice?" he asked, amused. Lucifer bared his fangs at him in reply and then leaped off the table, skulking to Seth's room and heading over to the window. It was unfortunately closed, so he sat on the sill and warbled woefully.

"Ha, ha." Tony laughed dryly smacking his twin upside the head.

Ashton punched his shoulder in return.

"Finally!" the don said, frowning as Jake reached the laundry room, out of breath. "Look at this!"

The laundry room was flooded with at least two inches of soapy water. A pile of clothes beside the don stank heavily of stale water. The don thrust a black garbage bag at Jake with a smirk. "You can fling 'em out if you like."

Jake grabbed the bags and tossed them out in the hallway, although they reeked, he figured Seth could probably salvage something from these, he glared at the don, "Okay enough of being a smart ass how much is the fine?"

***

Tony tackled his brother, giving him a noogie, "Come at me bro!"

Ashton fell off his seat with a yelp of pain when he hit the floor. Antonio's weight squished him. He returned with an elbow to Tony's face. "Can your ugly mug handle this?"

***

The don rolled his eyes. "Fifty."

Jacob pulled out his wallet and handed him a fifty, "There now you can quit your crying." Jake grabbed Seth's freaking bags and lugged them behind him dragging the bag with him up the stairs.


***

Tony yelped, and then responded by kneeing his brother in the stomach, "Ha nice try, lets see you try and digest food after I kicked ya!"

Ashton rolled to the side and then simply sat down on Antonio's back, grabbing his arms. "Oh yeah?"

Tony squeaked trying to break his brother's grip and he tried to do a counter maneuver but was pretty much stuck so he lay there on the ground flailing about.

Jacob had stormed down the hall, Seth's soggy laundry in his good arm. As he reached their suite he noticed he had left the door a crack open so he kicked it open hearing it slam into the wall, he dragged the sopping bag in behind him, he slammed the door shut and dragged the back into the suite.

Tony had stopped wrestling to see a very disgruntled looking Jacob, "Hey dude you okay?"

Jake ignored him, and instead went into Seth's room which was being held open by a towel and opened the bag of Seth's still really damp clothes and spilled them out all over his bed trying to cover every square inch of the bastards bed, he then pressed the clothes down to ensure his bed did get damp.

After that, he stopped for a moment to see all the newly added artwork on Seth's wall and just shook his head, he put the towel back in its spot to prop open his door. Jake pulled his key card out of his wallet and unlocked his door, Nova tilted his angry owner and Jake slammed his door shut and plopped down on his bed sans sheet.

Nova barking standing on his hind legs trying to jump on the bed with Jake, he reached over and grabbed the dog, and it nuzzled up underneath Jake's chin and he closed his eyes, his head hurt so much he just wanted to sleep.
