AU where Ask lives lol

They meet in college

Ask is an English major and Stan is undecided, but considering Chemistry (he became interested in pharmaceuticals after his experience with how useful caffeine pills could be) 

They don’t actually go to the same school. Since he was so focused on football throughout most of high school, Stan is doing his GenEds at a community college 

Ask only applied to universities minimum 2000 miles from his family because he needed to get away from the drama, which is how he ended up in Ohio 

Stan finds out he isn’t stupid, he’s dyslexic! So he hires a cheap tutor from the local university 

Ask is the most patient and understanding person Stan has ever met. He explains things softly and never gets upset when Stan gets something wrong. He also wears the cutest, too large shirts. Stan imagines him in his old Letterman 

Stan isn’t an actual frat boy, he dropped that crowd when he quit football but he acts and dresses enough like one that Ask is surprised he enjoys his company

Soon they start hanging out outside of tutoring. Every time Zeke hosts a party, Stan invites Ask but it’s not until Halloween that he accepts 

Zeke offers them something for free, “friends and family discount,” Stan takes it and assures Ask it’s safe but it’s totally fine if he doesn’t want to 

Taking nondescript pills isn’t technically against any of Ask’s rules, so he decides to try it

30 minutes later Ask is on his back in the upstairs bathtub with Stan on top of him as enjoy a sloppy make-out 

It’s not the most comfortable location, but it was the only unoccupied place in the house. That is until someone comes in to take a piss. Stan shuts the shower curtain and they lay there trying not to laugh while the person finishes. 

When they’re gone, Ask offers for Stan to come to his dorm and prays his roommate isn’t home

He’s not, and they have an eye opening night 

The next morning, Stan says he wants to take Ask out on a date and it’s a quick progression from there. They’re basically attached at the hip 

Ask’s new favorite way to spend the afternoon is following Stan to the gym and watching him work out over the top of his book

Sometimes, when the gym is almost empty, Stan is able to convince Ask to join him in the shower and they both leaver filthier than they arrived 

The thought of being away from Stan for the whole summer is worse than being with his family, so Ask shyly suggests that Stan comes with him

Stan’s like “sure I’ve never been to Washington 😃” having no idea he’s about to spend weeks with the most unnecessarily dramatic people on earth

Now that their family house is gone, Ask and Stan end up sharing a room with his sister. The first week is fine until she walks in on them and demands Charley give up his room to them and bunk with her instead 

It’s amazing how well Stan takes all the ribbing Ask’s siblings dish out because the crude jokes have Ask constantly hiding his face under his collar
