so i fall in love just a little ol' little bit

.....INTRODUCING LEVI AKARI, 

Is that DARREN BARNET on campus? Oh no, that’s LEVI AKARI. From SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, the 21 year old has come to study MEDICINE. Rumor has it he is ROMANTIC and WISTFUL, but PRIDEFUL and FICKLE, which is why he is known as THE FLIRT. HE resides in STUDENT HOUSING and can’t wait to graduate.

          “  you  got  a  death  wish  ,  man  ?  ”   dalton  laughs  out  ,  eyes  set  on  the  top  of  the  mountain  .   “  this  your  first  time  ?   i’m  not  great  at  skiing   —   legs  are  too  long  for  that  .  snowboarding  ,  though  …  that’s  a  different  story  .  ”   growing  up  in  eastern  canada  had  given  him  a  lot  of  practice  .   “  i’ll  race  you  down  .  ”

“not a death wish....just...maybe i like to flirt with it a little.” levi grins, a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and a sports fanatic so it wasn’t unlike him to get a little ahead of himself with shit like this. “yeah?” he grins, up for the challenge, already ready to make his way back up to the top with dalton. “it’s a deal, medici. i’m gonna kick your ass.” this trip just got a lot more interesting.

Cambrie was walking home from the bar drunk once again as she was listening to her headphones to drown out the clicking of her own heels and humming as she thought that she was making her way to her dorm room but was going in the wrong direction. She had been out trying to forget the day she had having had calls to her dad and just overall not doing okay. She was pulling the keys out of her purse as she made her way to a door and was trying to make her key fit into the lock over and over again not realizing her key would not fit. “What they hell-” she muttered drunkenly to herself trying not to break down with frustration. She dropped the keys, bending down to pick them up and then heard the door click open and she looked up and her face was red realizing she had the wrong dorm. She blinked a couple times and then realized how it was Levi in the door and her heart dropped not knowing how she was going to explain this “Oh-uh I was- uhm hi”.

He watches the doorknob twitch for a while before he’s finally grabbing it to pull the door open. His initial thought was of course that someone was trying to break in, but it turns out it’s just another drunk college girl lost on her way home. At least it was his door she’d turned up to and not some total creeps -- despite his outlandish ways, he’s not really into the idea of hooking up with not sober women. “Amazon package for me?” he says, trying to make a joke of it all. “You don’t look like a delivery driver to me.”

he could relate to that, but he wasn’t about to confess his dirty secrets and air that laundry out to a brand new person -- especially when that person is as adorable as little mikey. “so you got the short straw with that one then, poor kid. you know you’re welcome to crash at mine if you need.” ulterior motives? maybe. “i didn’t have any plans, i was just going to head back home but we could go grab something to eat? i haven’t had any lunch yet and the bread on my countertop might be just slightly out of date so eating in is out of the question.” levi hadn’t gone grocery shopping in over a week, he hated monotonous chores like that. 

“you’re telling me i just almost ate shit coming down there and no one caught it on camera?” levi was the first to be able to laugh at himself, and right now, he knew he had been a bit of a shit thinking he could take on more than he could handle, causing him to lose all control coming down the slope just then. luckily, he hadn’t caused himself or anyone else any harm, but had he ended up slipping forward just a little more, it could have gotten real ugly. “if someone dares me to do it again i’ll give it another try but have the first aid ready.” he really did not learn.

Lola and Levi had only been sharing a room for the better half of twelve hours and it was already proving to work out to her advantage—already making it a point to tell him she had forgotten a shirt to sleep in so that she could use one of his instead (which in her defense, she hadn’t really calculated pajamas into her outfit plans). So now here she was, decked out in levi’s shirt and a pair of flannel pajama pants as she crawled into her bed. she tossed and turned for a bit, trying her best to get both warm and comfy but something just wasn’t right. A huff fell from her lips as she sat up and faced him, doe eyes catching his gaze from the other side of the room. “Can I come sleep in your bed? Mine’s kinda cold and I think this mattress is like fifty years old—it’s too hard for me to sleep on”

alex was running out of things to do, when he really just needed more and more excuses to be out and away from his own room. he thought he could bear the cold outside and decided to go for a ‘walk’, but quickly turned back around 10 minutes later. immediately, he grabs the attention of the person nearest to him. “hey, you wanna get drunk enough with me to not feel the cold outside?” he promptly suggests, his brows raising with a small grin. “bonus is we get to drink boozy hot cocoa.” 

“alex morgan....” levi practically purrs, already decked out in his warm winter fit to keep the cold from getting to his bones. as if he would turn down such an offer, it wasn’t often they got to hang out outside of work so this trip proved to have more than one bonus. “i’m game but you’re the one to blame if i get too tipsy and end up skinny dipping in the hot tub.” even a sober levi knew that was going to be his own personal goal, regardless, he’s been eyeing that thing since they got here. “i think there was an orgy going on in there last night so i would hope the water is clean now.”

Austin shoved a marshmallow on the end of the stick he was holding and aimed in over the top of the fire with a confused expression on his face. This was his first time toasting one. How long he was suppose to keep it over the fire was beyond him. He didn’t have a clue. Austin pulled it back when it started to sag down and look like it was going to fall off the stick.  The white gooey marshmallow dripped down onto his thigh as somebody came to join him. Austin flicked the marshmallow away from his thigh and looked down at the white stain before back up at the person next to him. “It’s not what it looks like I swear to you.”

Levi pretends to not have witnessed the entire scene before approaching, that would be too boring in Levi’s humble opinion. Instead, he takes a seat next to the other and ignores Austin’s protests. “I at least hope that it’s someone else’s and not yours because you know the whole making a mess in your pants thing was so highschool.” He grins, reaching for a stick to join the other in the activity. “That shit’s gonna stain, you might wanna rub some alcohol or something into those before you stick them in the wash.” Not that Levi knows much of anything about how to get stains out, his mother usually did it for him, even at the ripe age of 21 -- he’d probably always be a mama’s boy. “You been on the slopes yet?”

he was waiting for alex to speak, gauging the others comfort in his presence, unsure on whether or not he was barking up the wrong tree here. alex was hard to read, but mostly because he didn’t say much of anything at all, which lead to even more mystery, which kept levi on a hook waiting to find out more and more from him. “do i come here often? alex fitzgerald, are you coming on to me?” levi grins, wrapping his hand around his coffee cup as he leans forward towards the other. “what is you study?” asks the med student, hoping to find out more about this guy, wishing to pull back the curtain of mystery so he can find what it is that makes him tick.

levi was super hot, and alex was just as scared of him as he was attracted to him. not that he was scary in any shape or form – he was just so intimate and comfortable with the idea of love. in turn, he often showed that intimacy to alex in ways that terrified him but also in ways that he liked? but most days, he was just a harmless attractive boy who gave alex attention. and alex liked to give that attention back. today, he was all smiles when he came in and offered alex a coffee. “you’re in a good mood, huh?” he says, accepting the drink and taking a sip of it. 

“i’m always in a good mood when i’m with you, no?” levi hums, popping a lime wedge between his lips to suck the juice from it without so much of a wince. “you look cute today. well, you always look cute so that’s not much of a compliment, is it?” he likes alex’s company, more importantly, he likes what he can do when he’s in alex’s company. alex happens to be one of those perfect people who understands levi’s need for casualness, and how he suffers under the tight restraints of commitment and relationship drama. “just us tonight or are our coworkers actually going to show up?” the other walks over towards his coworker, leaning forward to press a kiss to his soft lips. “not that i’m complaining if i have you all to myself.”

he knew that meeting up with lola at the mall meant that he would end up getting him roped into her shopping antics, but levi really didn’t mind, it was actually nice just to spend time with her. they’d probably be here for hours, he didn’t have work until much later so levi had plenty of time to kill between here and then. “you’re asking me if i’d be interested in watching you try on cute outfits? and you really thought i’d have to think about giving an answer? of course it’s a yes.” she wasn’t wrong about the bags though, they were heavy, nothing he couldn’t manage, but for her? she was tiny, how did women do this on a regular basis? as much as he didn’t need repaying, having lola indebted to him sure sounded nice.  “i’ll remind you later that you owe me.”
