Come Together [Closed RP]

Kristen Rhoades

Kent Sanders

Quinn Cortez

Corey Taylor

Kristen groaned in annoyance as she stood at the counter of the coffee shop. "It's simple, I ordered an Iced Chai Tea latte, with a double shot of espresso." She slammed the cool drink down on the counter, nearly breaking the plastic cup open. She rolled her eyes as the woman in front of her babbled her apologies and took the cup from her.

"I mean really, it's not that hard, you put one shot in and then the other." She mumbled as she turned to lean against the counter. As she did the rest of the customers looked away. Kristen pulled her phone from her pocket and sighed heavily. Classes started in thirty minutes, she was probably going to be late.

It was her second year of college, she was a regular student. She didn't over achieve, she missed a few classes. But, she tried not to slack off to much. She thought for a moment that she should call Kent and let him know she might be late.She decided not too, he'd probably already be in class by now, she didn't want to disturb him. Even though the coffee shop was on campus, she still had to walk half way across it to get to her first class. Kristen hoisted her backpack on her shoulders, they were starting to ache slightly.

"Ma'am....your coffee." The meek woman from behind her handed her her brand new latte, without even a second glance Kristen sprinted from the coffee shop, and into the hot sun outside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Corey Taylor walked through the halls of one of the campus buildings. His dark sunglasses still covering his eyes. They'd still be red and puffy from exhaustion. He had stayed up way to late the night before. He had been playing his guitar. He was a music Major, but right now he had literature, a basic everyone in college needed. He wasn't to worried about the class, his two friends and girlfriend were in it with him. If Kristen or Kent didn't catch him up on the class, he was sure Quinn would.

As he walked through the hall way he bumped shoulders with people, giving no thought to them stopping or asking him what his problem was. He was to tired to care, as he approached the lecture hall, he pulled his glasses from his face, and folded them before placing them in his pocket. Stalking up the steps towards his seat in the far back he chunked his bag down at his feet as he slid into his chair. He laid his head on the desk and closed his eyes, he hadn't noticed if anyone had gotten there yet.

Kent was in class fairly early, he had talked to the professor about his essay that was due the following week. He didn't get the topic so he wanted to make sure he understood. He headed out to the classroom and saw Corey, he rolled his eyes and have a small wave to Quinn when she came in. The other three were here. He wondered where his girlfriend was. Usually Kristen beat Corey. He furrowed his brow together. He decided to send her a quick text before the class started, the professor wasn't one who liked late students. Hey babe where are you? Gonna need a distraction to get in late? He sent.

The professor came from out back in his office. He moved and shut the door before putting the slideshow up on Shakespeare. That was their topic for the next few weeks. Kent leaned back in his chair calmly as he took notes, waiting for a response from Kristen. He hoped she wasn't going to be in a bad mood because of whatwver caused her to be late. But if she was, oh well, he'd handle it. The only issue would be if Corey poked at her. Those two were both hot heads, it was crazy that they were friends to begin with. Quinn and Kent had to pull them apart sometimes.

-

Quinn had woken up a few minutes later than she usually did. For most people that wouldn't be a problem. But Quinn always stuck to a strict schedule, so even a few minutes out her off royally. She rushed through her morning routine, deciding to skip the breakfast because she didn't need that right now. She had to get to her Lit class, which she wasn't fond of very much. She was in school to be a math teacher. She didn't like English or writing, even though she was still good at it. The only reason she didn't hate the class was because her small group of friends was in it. She wondered if Corey would beat her to class today because of her little slip up.

Quinn grabbed her book bag and hurried off across campus after saying goodbye to her roommate. They were friends. But not overly so. It was weird to her, she saw all of the others around campus become great friends with their roommates. She entered class and saw Kent as well as Corey already there. Kent hadn't bothered to bug the Corey who seemed like he was half asleep. Quinn just rolled her eyes and giggled as she took the seat next to him. She leaned down and kissed his head. "Hey sleepyhead." She teased. Leaning back after she pulled her book and notebook out.

Kristen was panting heavily, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket as she threw open the door to the building. She was only a few feet from her class, but she could already see the door was closed. She cursed, and looked down at her phone, reading Kent's text she replied
"I'm right outside, probably going to need that distraction" Kristen stopped outside of the lecture hall, and waited. With the lights off, she could tell the professor had already started his lecture and she kicked the wall by the door. "Stupid, idiot barista!" She spoke angrily.

What pissed her off even more was the fact that Corey was probably in there, sleeping away. They were so much alike, but that's where they differed. He'd sleep through every class he felt wasn't important enough, and to him English was the least of them all. Kristen was an art major, but she took every class seriously.

Plus, she hadn't seen Kent since yesterday afternoon, she had had work. She missed him, and he was just a door away. Kristen pouted and leaned against the wall, keeping her eye on the classroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the sound of Quinn's voice Corey sat up, he stretched his arms over his head, bending his back against the chair before sighing and sitting up straight and grinning at his long time girlfriend. She was always so put together, and ready for the day. Not at all like he was. He'd rather be in bed at the moment. He only came to class because he knew it made her happy.

"Hey babe." His voice was still sleepy. He looked down the row of seats and held back a chuckle.

Corey turned to Kent "Where's Kristen?"

Kent glanced at his phone as he felt the text come in, quickly sending back. Give me thirty seconds Kent looked over at Corey and sighed. "Outside, I don't know why she's late but I'm sure we will find out." The group sat somewhat close to the door, so they heard when she kicked the wall. "Quinn, mind going and opening the door while I distract the professor?" He asked and gave a small smile. Kent was good with words, so he hoped he could distract the professor and get her in. He was planning on applying to Law School, something Kristen wasn't a huge fan of, but he promised to do his best to attend their colleges law school so he could stay with her, if not he'd get an apartment for the pair. They'd been together for two years, since she came to the college, and he was in his sophomore year.

Kent asked a question about something on the slideshow, that wasn't actually there. After a minute or so of confusing the professor he got up and walked down to the board and was pointing it out, also giving a signal to Quinn to go let Kristen in. He kept the professor distracted until she was in. He made his way back down to his seat, giving Kristen a kiss before looking back and taking notes again. He glanced over at the drink she got before stealing a sip of it, grinning teasingly at Kristen after she did.

-

Quinn chuckled softly as Corey sat up, it was cute when he was tired. She was sure that it was because he'd been playing music all night. She was going to go visit him, but remembered she had a test in her calculus class so she told him she would do something with him today. The couple met because of Kent and Kristen, she had been friends with Kristen before they met. So the relationship was about a year and 8 months in, but she didn't see any reason they'd break up. She adored Corey.

When Kent asked her to get the door, Quinn nodded. She waited for the signal before scurrying over and opening the door. Kristen was her best friend, so she would do anything for her. "Hey you." She teased and went back to her seat. The class wasn't a very long one, they met 4 days a week so it wasn't as long as the other classes, and the group had some time before any of them had another class, she hoped they would do something.

Kristen had sent a quick half smile too Quinn as she hurried past and into her seat next to Kent. She had kissed him back, and quickly pulled out her notepad and pen. She ignored the mocking grin on Corey’s face, and because she had missed him so much, and her craving for her drink had died down with the embarrassment of being late, she hadn’t even gotten annoyed when Kent had stolen a sip of her latte. The rest of the class had gone by relatively fast, and Kristen was sure she hadn’t missed much. She stuffed her notepad and pen back in her bag and threw it over her shoulder as she stood, she leaned against Kent’s desk as she waited for him to pack up.
“Hey, I missed you.” She spoke softly to him. She had calmed down a bit. “Are we gonna go have lunch somewhere?” This time Kristen motioned to everyone. Kristen was running her fingers through Kents hair absentmindedly, a habit she had picked up when they first started dating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As expected, Corey had fallen asleep through the rest of the class. He promised himself he’d get to bed earlier tonight, but he doubted that would actually happen. He hadn’t been able to see Quinn the night before, and wanted to spend some much needed time with her. But first, food.
“Do not tell me you were late because of that drink?” Corey pulled Quinn in tight to his side as he approached Kristen from behind. Kristen turned slowly, and glared at him. Corey and Kristen met when she started dating Kent, his best friend since they were younger. They had been neighbors. Though they were almost exactly alike, she a raging bitch and Corey a huge ass, they seemed to click in the friend department. When Corey was introduced to Quinn as Kristens best friend, he had been completely shocked. How could someone like Kristen, be best friends to his sweet Quinn? Simple, opposites attracted.
“Shut up, it’s not my fault they hire idiots to make the coffee. I would have been hear way before you!” She scoffed and turned back to Kent. Corey shook his head, How Kristen and Quinn were best friends he had no idea. Kristen was all sugar when it came to Kent, but anyone else she was a wild fire.
With his arm around Quinn’s neck he guided her towards the exit, “We’ll meet you guys outside, don’t take too long, I’m starving.” He called over his shoulder. When they got outside he smiled to Quinn.
“Hey beautiful, I missed you last night.” He kissed her lips hard.

Kent glanced up at Kristen while she stood in front of him, putting his stuff into the cinch bag he always carried with him. He couldn't help but smile up at her when she spoke. "Missed you more." He mumbled and stood up, giving Her a kiss on the cheek. Kent absentmindedly out his hand on Kristen's hip as she asked about lunch. "I'm down." He mumbled again. Kent was fairly quiet in their friend group. He was like the moderator between Corey and Kristen. When Corey mad a comment to her being late Kent rolled his eyes. He took her hand and pulled Kristen back to him. "Hey everyone makes mistakes. You're fine. Don't worry too much about it." He said to her, hugging Kristen to him he gave Corey a look that said 'really?' But Corey and Quinn left Kent couldn't help but pull Kristen to him. "We need to do something, alone, tonight, I miss you." He murmured and pressed his lips to hers. "Plus isn't your birthday coming up?" He teased before walking outside to meet Corey and Quinn. "Where to?"

-

Quinn rolled her eyes as she watched Corey sleep the class off. She would give him whatever he missed, and he knew that. She didn't mind. He just needed the class to graduate, like her, so she wouldn't bother him about it too much. Quinn was one to just let Corey take the reigns a lot, only when his temper was getting the best of him, or he was fighting with her best friend did she set him straight. She giggled as she was pulled into Corey's side, putting her hand lightly around him as well. She giggled at his comment to Kristen and smacked his chest. "Babe." She murmured and kissed his cheek. She thought it was funny how alike those two were. She and Kent often joked about them being in a relationship would turn to hell for everyone around them.

She followed Corey outside and looked up at him when he stopped. "I know, I'm sorry, I need to pass that test today so I had to cram." She said and played with his fingers, a small comforting habit she had. "we can do something tonight, but it looks like you need sleep. My roommate is leaving for the week, so you can stay over if you want." She suggested and looked at Kent and Kristen. "Well if we wanna leave campus, Kent, you're the only one that can drive us, my car needs anew tire." She said. "I could totally go for Buffalo Wild Wings." She said and grinned as she leaned into Corey,

Kristen nodded at Kents words of comfort. She would get over being late, she’d just show up extra early next class. She leaned into him “It is my birthday, twenty three. Did you get me a present?” She joked and looked up at him as they walked. She threw her empty cup in the trash. “Maybe I could stay at your place tonight? ” She smiled up at him hopefully. She hadn’t spent the night with him in a few nights. She had her own roommates, and they were always home. It was annoying, if they wanted time alone they had to go to his home. She often felt like a burden.
“Wings sound good to me, though I’m not very hungry.” Kristen was still full from the coffee she had had. She’d probably just nibble on whatever Kent ordered.

She walked along with the group, she had tangled her fingers with Kents and was pulling him along as they walked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I’m sure you’ll pass with flying colors, and you know I’m always down for staying over, gorgeous.” Corey seemed to always have a small smirk on his lips. Nothing dirty or erotic about it, just a simple smirk that had stuck to his lips. It only widened into a smile when he was with Quinn. Corey had spent many nights at Quinn’s place, even with her roommates there. He had gotten pretty good at sneaking around, and being quiet.
Corey kept his arm tight around her as the group walked from the building and across campus. He pulled his sunglasses free and placed them over his eyes. “When the hell will fall get here? I’m over all this heat.” He complained. Corey’s tattoo covered arms, which were exposed by a tank, caught the attention of a lot of people walking by. Instead of acknowledging them with words, Corey had formed the habit of flipping them off if they stared to long.

Kent held Kristen's hand as the group was walking towards the south parking lot, the one Kent always worked in. "You'll see, you'll see." He teased and gave her hand a squeeze. When she suggested staying at his place he couldn't help but grin. He loved when she suggested it, he had his own room now and he loved it. It was really just because he was a senior he had fired choice. "I'd enjoy that." He murmured and pulled his keys from his pocket as he found his car. He got into the drivers seat, when he started the car he turned the radio on he was fidgeting with the radio befor sighing and giving up. "Babe find something good."

Kent drove the group to the closest BWW. He had one hand on Kristen's spthigh as he drove, humming to the music. Kent didn't talk a lot when he drove, but he was also reserved a lot of the time anyway. He pulled into the parking lot and hurried out so he could open the door for Kristen. He liked being a gentleman.

-

"Well thanks babe." She said and kissed him again. "I know, but I like to ask, you can stay all week, so pack a bag." She said, following along with Corey. She was close to him whenever they walked together, he was a hothead, she got used to it. He didn't react very well to negative, or perceived negative, attention. If someone was staring at him, whether it was because they liked his tattoos, or they disliked them. He gave the same reaction, flipping them off. She didn't understand how he had them all, she didn't have any, she was too worried about the pain. Corey also hated when other guys cat called, looked at her wrong, or flirted with her. Those ended bad. She couldn't even calm him down, most of the time Kent needed to because he physically could compete with her.

Quinn looked up when she heard him talk. "Yea yea. Me too. Plus you promised to take me to that new haunted house!" She said excitedly. It wasn't opening for another few weeks, but she was excited for all the fall activities to do with Corey. Well and Kent and Kristen. When they got to the car she got in back with Corey, leaning against him as Kent drove. When they got to the restaurant, she got into the same side of the booth as Corey. Knowing that even if she wanted to sit with Kristen, the guys wouldn't want to. They thought it was 'gay'.

Kent being a mellow and calm person was vital to Kristen’s survival as a person. Where she was hot headed and irrational, he was calm and collected. He had stopped her from many of fights and pointless arguments. It was just a portion of why she loved being with him. She could be relaxed with him. Whereas anywhere else she felt wound up and on edge. Kristen had settled on a soft rock station, leaning her head back against the seat and closing her eyes. The caffeine had given her a short burst of energy, and now she was coming down from it. The hand on her thigh was soothing.
Kent had been discussing Law School, and it made her nervous. She was finding it hard to imagine not having him next to her every day. Even though she knew it would be great for him to get into a better school then the ones around their town. She was selfish and she’d miss him.
When they arrived at the restaurant Kristen slid her hand into Kent’s as he opened the door for her, “Thanks babe.” When they got inside she hopped into the seat before he did, she preferred to be on the inside.
“So, Quinn, are you nervous about that test?” She asked her best friend from across the table, resting her hand on Kents knee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Corey was excited to be spending the night again with Quinn. “Alright, I’ll bring my guitar, I want to play you what I’ve been working on.” He sat in the booth next to Quinn, and laid his arm on the booth behind her head, scooting in close so she was tucked under his arm. He stretched out his legs, and looked around. It wasn’t to crowded, there was a few people sitting at the bar, but other than that they were pretty much alone. The perks of an early lunch.
Corey looked down at Quinn, she was incredibly cute. She had no idea how important she was to him. He had been writing her a song last night. It wasn’t entirely finished, but he was too happy with the way it was going to not share it. She was so soft spoken, and sweet to everyone she met. He worried about her sometimes. She never noticed the way people looked at her like he did. It made him angry to no end. A low growl escaped his throat before he realized it, and he came out of his thoughts when the waitress came to take their orders. He ordered a coke and waited for the rest of them to order.
"Kent, hows it going searching for Law School?" He was happy for his friend, he was incredibly smart and deserved to go to whatever college he wanted.

Kent knew that Kristen liked the inside, so he let her have it, when he sat down he felt her hand on his knee, he couldn't help but smile, resting his hand atop hers as he looked over the menu. He glanced up as he heard her voice, but it was directed to Quinn so he looked back down at the menu. Kent was picky with his food, so he wanted to have the most time to decide what he wanted. But he also wanted Kristen to like what he got. He found s few things he liked, nudging Kristen he pointed them out. And asked if she had a preference. His eyes moved to Corey when he heard a quiet growl Come from his best friend, raising an eyebrow.

The waitress came over and he ordered root beer, it was his favorite. And the dish he and Kristen has decided on. "I've applied to five schools. My GPA is fine, and my LSATs are good. So it just depends on the pool of applicants. I applied to the one on campus. And a few others that are close to here. The farthest one is in Pennsylvania." He said and shrugged. "I don't wanna go that far though." He said and pat Kristen's leg.

-

Quinn smiled excitedly when he said he would bring his guitar. She loved when he played his music and sang for her. She really thought he was the best. She leaned into Corey's side as she read over the menu. When the waitress came over she glanced up, the girl was pretty, she looked like she was from one of the colleges. When she heard Kristen she looked up and nodded. "A little, the professor is really strict about the work and such, so I have to do it exactly how he wants or he's a dick. He is to all the girls in the class though. One of the old school guys, thinks math and science is for guys only." She said and shrugged, ordering a lemonade and wings for herself.

Quinn handed over her and Corey's menu before thanking the girl softly. She looked across at Kent and smiled. She was happy for him. "That's great. I'm sure you'll get in, you're smart." She reassured and pat his hand. Their drinks came over and Quinn sipped hers as she looked between them all. She looked up at Corey again and smiled. He was sexy as hell, and she wasn't one to usually think things like that. She was what most people considered a prude. Her and Corey hadn't had sex until a year into their relationship. But he was sweet, and was perfectly okay with waiting for her.

Kristen had caught the growl that came from Corey, she looked over her shoulder in the direction he had been looking in. “Oh Jesus, Corey chill out.” She ordered a water from the waitress and leaned against Kent. She listened to Quinn “I hate men like that, what’s the test for again?” When she heard Kent answer about Law School she frowned. Even though he was looking for a school close to her she knew it would take up a lot of his time, she looked down at her hand on his knee, and squeezed. Everyone was happy for him, and she was too, but she dreaded when he would start. She was just an art student, he’d probably meet beautiful lawyer women, much smarter than her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Corey looked to Kristen and glared “Shut up Kristen, worry about your insecurities and not mine.” He snapped at her. He watched her eyes light up in anger. Corey sat up, dropping his arm from behind Quinn, as Kristen sat up straight.
“Shut the fuck up Corey, at least I have something to worry about, you’re getting angry over something that hasn’t even happened yet. You have Quinn, stop making yourself jealous.” They silenced as the waitress brought them their drinks and told them their food would be out shortly.
Corey pointed his finger at Kristen “Maybe you should stop being so selfish.” Everyone knew Kristen was upset about Kent going to law school. It annoyed the shit out of Corey, Kent was his best friend and he knew better than anyone that Kent deserved to go to a great school, and not to be held back by his girlfriend.
“Maybe you should grow the fuck up!” They were getting loud now, but Corey couldn’t help it. He was exhausted, which made him inherently moody, plus Kristen was pressing all of his buttons.
“You know what Kristen, I bet Kent goes off to Law school, and realizes there are prettier, smarter woman out there. You’ll be dropped in no time.” Corey spat in her direction. He could see the frustration welling in her eyes, her lip was already quivering.
Instead of retaliating to him, Kristen turned to Quinn “You call this asshole a boyfriend?” Corey was about to respond when she pushed her way out of the booth and stomped out of the restaurant. He was seething. No one had ever called him out on his shit before, in public at least. He looked to Kent and Quinn.

Kent kept his eyes between the two hotheads, not wanting anything to happen. He leaned down and kissed her temple before sitting back up as he listens to Quinn talk about her professor and rolled his eyes, guys like that sucked. He answered and felt her squeeze his knee before smiling down at Kristen, his hand moving up to her thigh and giving a squeeze back.

Quinn looked up at Kristen asked, smiling across at her best friend. "It's a calculus theory class, so it's on the theory of derivatives and how they came to be. Somethinf really boring to you all I'm sure." She said and chuckled softly.

Both Kent and Quinn shot a look at each other as Kristen and Corey started getting angry at each other. Small things like this happened all the time. Before either of the two could butt in or try and stop the argument, Kent was shoved out of the way and he looked as Kristen had exited the building. Kent was usually okay with most of their fights. They were petty things. But he had said that he'd leave Kristen for someone and that pissed him off. He gave a look to Quinn which pretty much said 'handle it' as he looked at his best friend. "Not cool dude." Kent got up and left the building as well, looking around for Kristen. When he found her he immediately went over, placing one hand on her hip. "Hey, don't listen to him." He murmured softly. "I love you. I want to be with you. I don't give a shit about another girl if they're smarter than you, and I know no one is prettier than you." He said and looked down at Kristen with a gentle look. "You're stuck with me, even when I go to law school." He said teasingly.

Quinn hated when her friends fought. And here they were, again, fighting, this time in public. Quinn didn't know what to do and caught Kent's look just as she saw Kristen storm out. She shifted slightly in the seat so there was at least a foot between her and Corey. She frowned after Kent left and she looked up at him. "Corey, you know that was a dick move." She said and crossed her arms over her chest. "You're fine. We're fine. There was no reason for that." Quinn said and sighed. She hated when he fought with Kristen. And being his moral compass half the time she had to be strict with him and tell him he was wrong, even if it would make him worse. But not often. Only on occasions did he get even more mad because of her. "I want you to apologize at some point for your last comment, Corey." She said and looked up at him, raising an eyebrow.

The waitress brought over the four plates of food, and Quinn sighed,
She shot a glare at Corey. "Be nice." She said as she texted Kent that their food had arrived.

Kent looked at the text on his phone and took Kristen's hand. "The food is ready. Do you wanna go eat? I'm hungry. You can just talk to me if you want."
He offered and gave Kristen a big smile.

Corey furrowed his eyebrows “What, she started it.” Speaking to Quinn, Kristen had hit a nerve. He hated the idea of anyone even looking at Quinn, he’d never admit it, but he was extremely self-conscious and jealous. Quinn was everything he wasn’t, she was intelligent and had ambitions. Corey just wanted to play his guitar for the rest of his life. He wasn’t even sure what he was going to do after he graduated. He was always worried that she’d realize what a loser he was and leave him.

He heard her words of reassurance, but when he was told to apologize he shook his head. He almost never apologized, and when he did it physically hurt him to admit he was wrong.

“Hell no Quinn, she started it. Plus, you know I’m right. Kristen is completely selfish. Kent should be able to go to any college without worrying about her.” At this point, Corey wasn’t even sure what the argument was about anymore. No way in hell was he going to be the one to apologize.

When the waitress came by he ended the conversation and delved into his food. He was starving, and tired. He didn’t really want to talk about it anymore. When Kristen and Kent came back in he ignored Kristen as she slid into the booth. Though he could feel her gaze staring a hole into his skull.

Kristen looked up to Kent and smiled halfheartedly. He was making her feel slightly better, but everything Corey had said was still resonating in her mind. He was right, she was completely selfish. Not that she’d let him know that. She fell forward and laid her forehead on his chest, wrapping her arms around his waist she could only nod at his words, “I love you too.” His teasing helped to pick her up.

“I can’t wait to be alone with you.” She hugged him tighter and inhaled his scent. It was her favorite smell in the world, she often found herself sleeping with his shirts.

“We can go back in, I’m not all that hungry though. “ She held his hand as she walked back inside and sat down. She couldn’t help but glare at Corey as he ate his food, as if nothing had happened. She wanted him to be just as pissed off and hurt as she was. He had won this argument, but she could be more stubborn. Kristen decided she’d stop talking to him.

“Quinn, I think you and I should start hanging out without the guys.” She watched as Corey heard her words. She knew he hated not being with Quinn, and that he thought Kristen was a bit of a bad influence.

Corey looked up from his food to Kent, "For someone about to turn twenty three, she sure is acting like a thirteen year old” She was being a bitch. She didn’t want to talk to him, fine, they wouldn’t talk.

Quinn frowned slightly up at Corey. "You're so stubborn sometimes." She said and sighed . She looked over as Kent and Kristen came back in and sat down. She was excited for her food so. So immediately she was digging into it and not paying attention to the two. They were both so angry, she didn't understand it. When she heard Kristen, Quinn looked up and raised An eyebrow. She did want to hang out alone with Kristen, but she knew she was doing it to piss off Corey. They were both being childish. "We can sometime. Just let me know." She said in a quiet voice. Quinn didn't like being in between their fights.

Kent walked in with Kristen and kept his arm around her waist, he kissed her head as they sat down. Kent was excited about his food. So he also dug in and was eating fairly quickly. He noticed she was glaring at Corey, and rolled his eyes at her comment. When Corey spoke to him he looked up. "Corey." He said sternly, giving his best friend a stern look. Kent didn't want to deal with ther fighting right now. He just wanted to eat. He didn't have another class that day, so he hopes he could just get to his on campus apartment and spend some time wth Kristen.

Quinn gently elbowed Corey at his comment. She reached up and grabbed his him, turning his face to hers. She smiled softly at Corey and kissed his lips before. "Babe. Be nice." She mumbled and pulled away to start eating her food again. Both her and Kent were monitoring the other two.

Kent finished his food first. He pulled out his wallet and dropped some money on the table. "I enjoyed lunch guys, but we've gotta get going." he said and ran a hand through his hair. He walked out to his car and rested in the driver's seat as he waited for the other couple to get in. Kent drove back to campus, dropping them off by Quinn's building. When they were out, Kent leaned across the seat and kissed Kristen deeply. "Have anymore classes? Or do you wanna come back to my place?" He asked with a grin.

Quinn ate and talked to everyone at the table. When Kent paid for the meal she thanked him and grinned following Corey out. When dropped off she went into her room with him. She dropped her bag at the foot of her bed and she laid down, knowing he would follow. "Corey. I want you to apologize to Kristen. You know Kent is going to make her apologize too. You are both in the wrong." She said and looked up at him with puppy dog eyes. Laying her head on his chest.

Kristen spent the rest of lunch sipping at her water, and glaring across the table at Corey. “I’ll call you sometime soon.” She mumbled to Quinn. The asshole was just eating away, he hadn’t even looked at Kristen since she sat back down. His ability to not be bothered by their argument was what was fueling her annoyance. She fought the urge to kick him under the table in the shin.

Corey shrugged when Quinn called him stubborn. They’d been dating long enough, she should be used to it all by now. Kristen and he had had many arguments, similar to this one, and they’d stopped talking before. However, Corey was not okay with the thought of Quinn being alone with Kristen. Even though they’d been friends’ way before Corey and Kent had even come along, Kristen was in college now. She was an art student! She partied, she drank and she went to concerts, everything Corey did. But the idea of Kristen dragging Quinn off to some concert with alcohol and drunken men pissed him off severely.

When they had finished eating and made it to the car Kristen sat in silence, while they waited for Corey and Quinn. She just wanted to get back to Kent’s place and snuggle. She was relaxing at the thought. When the other couple got in the car she didn’t speak. The car ride was quiet, and when they dropped Quinn and Corey off she heaved a sigh and turned to Kent, kissing him back, and smiling “I’m sure I can miss just this once.” She mumbled against his lips before sitting back in her seat.

Corey dropped his bag and walked towards the bed, he ignored Quinn and fell forwards and rolled onto his back, pulling her so she was laying on him. “She’ll get over it. But, babe I really don’t want to talk about them anymore.” He closed his eyes, holding Quinn tighter, he leaned down and kissed the top of Quinn’s head.

Quinn knew that Corey disliked Kristen and her alone. He had vocalized it more than once. At which point she reminded him the two were one in the same. She knew he would never make her choose, she simply wouldn't do it. And neither would Kent. No matter what they wouldn't choose between their partner and their best friends. When Corey pulled her to his chest she giggled and smiled up at him. "Fine." She murmured and pressed her lips to the corner of his jaw. "I love you." She said quietly as she looked up at Corey.

Quinn's fingers traced one of the tattoos on his arm as she layed her head against Corey's chest and listened to his heartbeat. Quinn loved to lay with her and be with Corey. She felt safe with him, and she knew she was. He wouldn't let anything or anyone hurt her. And Corey could always tell her mood. When she was upset he could tell in an instant, which she liked. "I'll have to leave for my test at three. But you can stay here if you want." She commented and glanced up.

Kent grinned against Kristen's lips and hesitated before he pulled away. "How sweet." He replied and drive towards his apartment. When the other couple was gone he hummed softly. Parking out front he got out and took Kristen's hand as he led her inside. "So where do you wanna go for your birthday? I'll take you any place you want. Dinner preferably, so I can be romantic and give you your gift too." He said and smiled down at Kristen.

Kent walked into his apartment, locking the door behind them. Afterwards he moved to the red love seat he had bought at a thrift store, relaxing into it. "Come give your teddy bear some cuddles." He purred softly and grinned at her, opening his arms for Kristen to get into. He turned on his TV and started channel surfing. He didn't know what he wanted to watch. Maybe he would put on a movie and they could cuddle, maybe fuck, and watch a movie.

Corey was running his fingers lightly up and down Quinn’s arm, his eyes closed. He was enjoying the feeling of having her pressed against him, she was so small. He felt her tracing his tattoos. It was something she often did when they laid like this. “Do you want one?” He had been jokingly
asking Quinn if she wanted to get a tattoo for months.

“I think you’d look cute with a little tattoo right here”Corey grinned as he tickled the back of Quinn’s neck. He had been getting tattoos since he was sixteen. So, not all of them were legal, but they all stood for something. He was completely covered, and he prided himself on his ink.

"That's fine beautiful, I'll nap while you're out." Corey offten stayed at Quinns place while she was gone. He preferred it to laying in his own bed. Her's was softer and had more pillows.

Kristen smiled as she dropped her bag on the floor by the door and followed Kent into the living room and fell into Kents lap. She kissed him softly, one hand resting on his cheek. “I’d love to go to Olive Garden, they have this yummy drink I’d like to try.” She was speaking against his lips. When he turned on the TV she laid her head on his shoulder, her arms wrapped around his neck.

“You should put something scary on.” Kristen loved horror movies, particularly ones about ghost. They were her favorite, and they were wonderful for instigating more cuddles and make out sessions.

Quinn looked up at Corey when she asked about her getting a tattoo. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled at him. "I wouldn't even know what I would get, babe." She said and kissed his chest. When Corey tickled her neck she couldn't help but giggle and push him away. "Stop! You know I'm ticklish." She said and pouted playfully. Quinn moved away from Corey and crossed her arms teasingly. "Humph." She said and couldn't help but grin as she moved back to Corey and laid back in his arms.

"All of your tattoos mean something, I don't know what I would get. Plus I'm a baby, I wouldn't like the pain." She said and kissed him again. Quinn absolutely loved to spend time with Corey. "Maybe if you helped me out I'd get one. I'd even beat Kent to it!" She said and smiled.

Quinn laid on her back, though she remained snuggled into Corey's side, she liked to listen to him talk. "So you gonna sing for me tonight when I get back from my test?' She asked and grinned. "I can't believe it's been almost two years you know." She said and took his hand in hers. "What are we gonna do?"

When Kristen was in his lap, Kent couldn't help but hold her tight to him, his lips automatically falling to hers. Both of his hands rested on her lower back. He felt her talk against his lips and smiled, nodding. "Anything you want." He replied and kissed her again. "Horror?" He repeats and turned his Netflix on. Kent scrolled through horror movies until he found one they would both enjoy. He hit play and smirked. He liked them because the couple almost always ended up near naked because of them. He wrapped a blanket around them as it started.

Kent looked between Kristen and the movie, he bit his lip and smiled as he thought of the promise ring he had gotten for her. He would give it to her on her birthday. Kent tried to be a sweet and romantic man, he wanted to make Kristen happy and Would do anything for her. It was just over two years. But Kent loved her, he knew it, and if she wanted to spend some time with him, he was promising to her that he was hers.

Halfway through the movie Kent was holding Kristen tight to him, he wasn't that scared, but he wanted Kristen safe. Though the movie couldn't hurt her. He couldn't help but looked down at Kristen, kissing her deeply. "You just seem to be a better kisser every day." He mumbled against her lips as he moved slightly to kiss her more deeply.

Corey was happy she was being picky when it came to getting a tattoo. He hated when women or men went and got a tattoo just for the hell of it. He laughed and held her tighter when she pulled away, letting her go when she moved away but awaiting her return to his arms.

“You’re too cute.” He mumbled. He was speaking softly to her, he was drowsy, he was fighting sleep as they talked.

“I’ll help you think of one, gorgeous, don’t worry.” A sleepy smile on his face, kissing her softly. He held her head to his chest.

“Yea, I’m still working on it though, so don’t laugh.” He teased at her, running his fingers through her long hair. She always smelled so good and felt so soft.

“It has almost been two years, what do you want to do?” He was curious, he had never known what to give her on any anniversary. He always asked what she wanted to do. It was easier to know exactly what she wanted than to guess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kristen was in deep watching the movie. She wasn’t scare, but she couldn’t help but get involved. She had jumped a few times. When she heard Kent speaking to her she tore her eyes away from the movie. She was way too comfortable curled up with him on his sofa. He was warm, she leaned into him as he kissed her. “I’m positive it’s from all the practice.” She joked and nipped at his bottom lip before delving into the kiss.
(I'm sorry it's so short!)
