"Get the fucking door before I rip his throat out."

🌙

KNOCK KNOCK …KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK…

Both Mani and Teddy stay still as the persistent banging continues at their door. Their bodies are too tired to move, their eyes too heavy with sleep. 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK…. "Mani are you in there?" The sound of Jojo's voice could be heard on the other side of the door. 

 "Mmmmm." comes the lazy groan of a reply. Not loud enough though for Jojo to hear. 

"Mani, answer the door!" KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. 

"Get the door Mani" Teddy groans as his face stays plastered to the pillow they were sharing, not bothering to move an inch. 

"Mmm in a minute." Mani answers sleepily, as he burrows a little further into the blankets. 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK "MANI!" 

"Get the fucking door before I rip his throat out." Teddy cusses through clenched teeth, eyes still firmly closed. 

"Ok ok, I'm going." Mani pulls back the bedding and sits up, rubbing his face. He stands and ambles to the door, undoing the catch and opening it.

He sees Jojo stood in the corridor, his eyes blowing wide at the sight as he looks Mani up and down. "Shit! You're naked!" He says, stating the obvious in which Mani seemed to be unaware of. 

He looks down on himself, realising the fact. "Oh, S…sorry." He walks back in the room, picking up a pair of underpants from the floor and proceeds to put them on. They seem to come up to his ribs as he realises that he has picked up Teddy's boxers. He heads back to the door. "What can I do for you Jojo?" He asks, trying his best to stifle a yawn. 

"I haven't seen you since yesterday's lecture. You weren't answering your phone and…." Jojo stops what he is saying, only to furrow his brow as he takes in a few sniffs. "What the hell is that smell?" 

Mani looks behind him, seeing the carnage his dorm room befelled. He begins to inhale a breath. "It's uh…" 

"It smells of sex, but like, strong sex, like I don't know, like a sex party…" 

Mani reaches forwards and pulls Jojo by the sweater into the room and closes the door. "Keep your voice down. The world doesn't need to know." He lets go of Jojo's top, but Jojo has a wide grin spreading across his face.

"So you have been…" 

"What's up Jojo?" Teddy now comes into view, draping his large muscular arm over one of Mani's shoulders. His nakedness also on display, though maybe this time it was intentional, just to prove some kind of point. 

"I…I uh, just wanted to see if Mani was ok. He wasn't answering his messages." Jojo says, nervously fiddling with the string of his sweater. 

"He's fine. We've been fucking like beasts." Teddy says with a grin, adding a slight thrust to boot, making Jojo's eyes gravitate towards the healthy swinging appendage.

"Teddy!" Mani pulls out of the shoulder hug to hit the alpha on his chest. His action, not really having much of an effect. 

"What have I said?" Teddy raises his voice in innocence. "Only earlier this morning you said just that! That I fuck like a wild beast!" 

"I should go." Jojo says, not knowing where to look. "I just wanted to know if you are ok. It seems you are, so I'll see you at lectures later." He hurriedly turns around to head for the door, letting himself out.

Mani waits for the door to close before he speaks. "Why did you have to do that?" Mani furrows his brow in annoyance at Teddy, who was laughing under his breath. 

"I'm sorry. He's just so easy to wind up." Teddy says, once again stepping forwards to wrap his arms around his mate. "What can I do to make it up to you?" 

Mani again looks around the room. "How about you clean up this place while I go shower. Jojo is right. It stinks in here." Mani pulls away from the embrace to head for the window, which he opens. A fresh breeze flows inside, pushing out the stale air. 

"Ok." Teddy sighs, placing his hands on his hips. "But I'd rather join you in the shower." He approaches Mani. 

"No. I need to recover." Mani says, pushing the alpha back. "Besides, you owe me breakfast." He adds. 

"Mmh." Teddy huffs as he watches Mani grab a towel and leave the room to head for the shower block. The door clicks closed and Teddy is left alone with the mess. He begins to gather up the dirty sheets, making a pile on the floor, before addressing Mani's pile of clothes. He picks up the t-shirt, loosely folding it and placing it on Mani's desk. Next the jeans. He grabs them from the floor giving them a shake, but something falls out of the right jean pocket. 

Teddy lays the jeans back on the bed to pick up the fallen item. A wallet. He goes to place the leather item on the desk, when out of the corner of his eye, something seems to fall from the tiny zipper. Teddy looks to the floor to see something small and white on the carpet. He picks up the tiny object between his thumb and fingers. He holds it closer to his eyes and reads the abbreviations S.I, stamped on it. "What the..." he utters under his breath, as in his hand, was a little white pill…
