02. Departure.
It was four in the morning, and the campus was as silent as a graveyard. Not because the sun was yet to rise, but because only a few students were left on campus.
The university had asked every student to vacate the premises before sunset, today.
It had barely been forty-eight hours since the school made this announcement, but because of the growing concern about what was happening in the world right now, no one needed a reminder of how important it was to prioritise their safety.
Although more than half of the students had already departed, a select few still loitered around the school dormitory. Among them were two students, and both of them were on their way to bid farewell to another close friend.
The first person was Kevin Lannister while the friend who was accompanying him was Abel Johnson.
"Do you really have to leave this early?"
"Can't you at least wait until seven in the morning? Some of us really need our beauty sleep, you know." Abel said, stifling a yawn, as he led the way to the room of their third friend who happened to be his roommate as well.
Abel visited Kevin's room first so he could assist him in packing his luggage before they both decided to return to his room.
"If you weren't too busy jerking off to the adult magazines you bought last week, you wouldn't be so tired right now." Kevin teased.
"I can't help it. Abigail isn't like the rest, she's simply a....."
"Yeah, yeah, I've heard that a thousand times. She's a goddess that should only be gazed upon by you alone, right?" Kevin quipped.
"Precisely, no one can love her as I do." Abel responded with conviction.
"Don't you mean, no one is a bigger simp than you?"
"Ouch!! That hurts right here."
"Your heart? Or your little brother?"
"Both!!"
"Pervert." Kevin joked.
They laughed while Abel dipped his hand into his back pocket to grab his phone. They were a few steps away from his room, so he wanted to inform his roommate of their arrival.
But the moment they arrived at Abel's room, it was unlocked, so he didn't have to call his roommate to open it.
"Where did he go?" Abel asked, feeling a bit worried about how his roommate left their room door unlocked.
"Maybe he's in the shower," The room was dark and quiet but there wasn't any sign of forced entry, so Kevin could only come up with this conclusion. However, both of them noticed a laptop playing muffled moans on Abel's bed
Abel switched on the light and the sound of someone flushing could be heard from the bathroom.
Mason walked out of the bathroom and was surprised to see that Kevin and Abel had found their way in already.
"Oh!! You guys are here?"
"Why did you leave the door open?" Abel questioned.
"Ugh!! Please, spare me the lecture this early in the morning. I know it's wrong to leave it open during a time like this but I knew you guys were on your way and I didn't want to keep you waiting while I used the toilet," Mason Explained.
Abel let out a deep sigh. He had a million things to say to Mason but he swallowed them all and decided to ask just one question.
He pointed to his laptop which was still playing an adult video. "Why is that playing on my bed?"
He then walked furiously to his bed and grabbed the laptop before asking. "What the hell were you watching?"
Only for him to realize what his roommate had been up to the moment he looked at the screen. "What?! Dude!! You were watching this? Today is Sunday, you know."
"Judge me not brother. I'm just a youth who follows his gut."
"Don't you mean libido?" Kevin interjected, joining the conversation.
"Ouch, that hurts. Kevin totally gets me."
Mason then turned towards Abel and noticed him sniffing his laptop.
"Dude, what's wrong?" Mason asked.
"It smells weird. Don't tell me you released your jeez on my laptop?"
Mason whistled innocently while looking up at the ceiling, avoiding giving a direct reply to the question.
"That's disgusting, man. How could you do this to me? You know what, we'll have this chat later. Right now, Kevin is about to leave and I'd hate to keep him waiting for much longer."
Hearing this, Mason turned to Kevin with a sad look on his face.
"Yo, Kevin. Are you leaving? I know it's been three years since you last visited your old man, but I thought you were just joking like you always do."
"Hey, let him go. Even you miss your mom's breast milk every day, isn't that why you've been going home every weekend for the last two months?"
"At least my place isn't far from school, that's why I go home whenever I have the chance."
"So you admit to missing your mom's milk then?" Kevin asked teasingly.
"Ah!! no, it's ..." Mason stumbled over his response.
"Pfft.. hahaha." All three friends burst into laughter.
"Thanks, guys. I'm going to miss you both."
Kevin thanked them before asking Abel if he could use the restroom. Abel nodded, then turned towards Mason and asked.
"Hey Mason, the stuff is still with you, right? I think you should give it to him before he leaves."
"Give me what?" Kevin asked, taken aback that they had something to give him.
Mason's gaze shifted towards Kevin as he replied, "It's something Abel bought two months ago from his favourite p.o.r.n store."
"Hey, it's not just any p.o.r.n store. Granted, it's a store but it's a high-quality store that sells high-quality videos. The kind boys like you would never understand."
"Yeah right," Mason retorted. "You do know that Kevin isn't a mom-con like you, right? Also, why do you get to use it to bust a nut for over a month while I get to use it for just a week? That's unfair, you know."
Kevin facepalmed as he was already accustomed to his friends' usual conversation. "You guys seriously need to take it easy on the p.o.r.n. Nonetheless, I appreciate the offer guys, but I'd rather head home without anything that would turn me into a pervert in the eyes of everyone back home."
