Part 16: Fall-Out

|{Omniscient}|

Qani loved the fuck out of college. He loved football, so how could he not love anything that enabled him to play? But what he didn't love was the academic part of it all.
He hated that part with his full chest.

It was a Sunday evening and he sat on his reading table writing a paper that was due the next day. His professor for that course was an irritating self important man who hated athletes and made their lives miserable. So Qani knew for sure that he had to go all out with this one.

Ri sat on the floor not far from him, playing a game and drinking a soda. He had warned that boy to stop drinking that shit too many times, but he never listened. "That shit is gon rot your teeth."'Qani told him, only looking up temporarily.
But like the grown child he was, Ri only stuck his soda strained tongue out at him.

They sat their silently while Qani tried his best to finish his paper, his brain was hurting already. Ri was no help whatsoever, but his presence brought Qani enough comfort to concentrate.

A little over 9:pm Bram came over. He mumbled a forced 'hey' at Rio, who spared him nothing but a quick nod. Bram then walked over to Qani and sat on his lap, and kissed him, letting it linger a little too long. Which made Rio roll his eyes and looked away.

"Hmm, sup shawty." Qani hummed, holding him close.

"How's the paper coming along?" Bram asked.

"It's coming."

"Need any help? I can write it for you if you want." Bram offered.

Qani's face lit up. "Really?" He asked excitedly.

"Nope, do your work yourself." Bram smiled and kissed Qani some more before disappearing into the bedroom.

Qani turned to Rio and said, "Yo, you want some food? I can order pizza." But Rio did not respond. Qani scoffed and folded a paper and threw it at Rio's head. "You don't hear me talking to you boy?" He persisted playfully.

Rio sighed. "Leave me alone man. Don't you got a paper to finish? Why you spending your time bothering me? I ain't hungry." Rio responded.

Qani watched as Rio went to the fridge to grab another soda. The fuck did he mean 'I ain't hungry'? That boy's stomach is like a bottomless pit, he's always hungry.
But this wasn't the time to try and decipher the inner workings on Rio-Quinn's mind though, he had work to finish this, in limited time at that.

Qani woke up the next morning a little too close to his deadline and frantically started to get ready, he must have fallen asleep at some point because he was passed out on the table.
"What the fuck!!?!" Qani suddenly yelled.

Rio who had slept off on the couch reluctantly woke up to find a very angry looking Q glaring at something on the table. He wiped his eyes and sat up. "What's going on?" Rio asked.

Just as Bram came running out of the bedroom and went to Qani, "what's wrong babe?" Bram inquired, looking worried.

"Who the fuck did this shit?!" Qani barked, pointing at his laptop that was drenched in what looked like soda. He hadn't touched a soda in at least three years, so it certainly wasn't him.

Bram shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest, then gave Rio a side eye.

Qani turned to Rio as well, "You were the only one drinking this shit last night, did you do this shit? I worked so hard on this shit man, tell me you ain't do this Ri." Qani's tone was harsh and accusatory.

"I didn't even go near there nígga, what you going off on me for? The fuck did I do?" Rio exclaimed, getting on his feet.

Rio glanced over at Bram, and for a split second he could've sworn he saw a smirk play on the male's lips. Rio shook it off, maybe his overactive imagination was just running wild, maybe all them movies he been watching was taking its toll.

Rio walked over to Qani and met his gaze, "Q look at me." He urged and Qani did. "I ain't do that shit, I swear." He said.

Qani stared at Rio for a minute, looking in his eyes and searching for any sign of lies, when he didn't see one he sighed and nodded. "I believe you, but I'm still screwed. How the fuck could this have happened?" Qani said, his shoulders slumped in frustration.

Bram huffed and shook his head in annoyance. "Un-fucking-believable." He muttered and went back in the bedroom.

Rio's focus remained on Qani. "Relax, go shower and get ready, imma fix your shit. I'm just gon take out your hard drive and retrieve the information from my laptop. It ain't nothing." Rio assured him.

Qani looked up at him, hopeful. "You can do that? I know you good with computer shit but that good though?"

"I got it, go shower." Rio said. Qani nodded and did as he was told.
