MY SISTER ATE MY FUCKING FOOD

Roommate | Sweet Pea x Reader

Prompt by anon: You’re Toni’s roommate at college, but when her friends from her hometown decide to pay a visit, you meet a handsome stranger who takes a keen interest in you.

Request status: Open!

Warnings: underage drinking, profanity

You walked across the quad of Carnegie Mellon, you take a moment to absorb how truly beautiful the campus is. You worked hard to end up here and all of the hard work was definitely worth it. Now, you attended one of the nation’s most prestigious universities. You had just left your 10 AM lecture, heading back to the dorms before you hear your name being called out.

“Y/N!” You turned around to see your roommate, Toni, running towards you, backpack secured over one shoulder. “Hey,” she breathed out, tucking her faded pink hair behind her ear. “How was your lecture? Mine was god awful. I don’t get why Mellon makes us take a computer science class even though more than fifty percent of the school isn’t a computer science major. I’m criminal justice!”

Smiling, you laugh at Toni. Toni was such an incredible roommate. She had come from a small town called Riverdale while you came from a large city, Philadelphia. Although you came from two different worlds, the two of you couldn’t be anymore alike. Toni was so sweet and considerate, but had an attitude and a fiery nature when she needed to. Not to mention, she cooked you both dinner when you didn’t feel like eating crappy cafeteria food. “Better than last weeks. I feel like some professors could make their lectures thirty minutes shorter if they just took out half the adjective they use,” you sigh, turning right to enter your dorm building.

In your dorm room, Toni heats up some leftover boxed mac and cheese from last night’s dinner as you pontificate about how your dating life is. It seemed that you were perpetually single. Every party you went with, you flirted with a guy who flirted back, but after you guys made out or hooked up, that was it. It was like he fell off the face of the Earth. You were becoming a little hopeless at this point. “Am I just that revolting that no guy wants to talk to me?” you ask before shoveling a spoonful of Kraft into your mouth.

Toni rolls her eyes, “Oh shut up. Any guy would be lucky to have you on their arm. And I told you that the frat guys are all assholes. They don’t look for girlfriends. They look for a hook up and someone who can give them test answers.” You laugh at her comment, knowing that she is probably right. “Also, remember that my two guy friends from home are coming over next weekend.”

Sitting up, you say, “Right, I almost forgot. What were their names again?”

“Sweet Pea and Fangs,” she replies as you lift an eyebrow. “That’s what they like to be called. They’re Serpents. They don’t want anyone to know their real identity except for the ones who they are the closest to.”

You smile, teasing her. “Do you know their real names?”

Toni knows what you’re doing. “Nice try and it’s not gonna happen. When they get here, just be yourself. Don’t try to impress them. The two of them are complete dorks despite their looks.”

Soon enough, the next week rolled around after a few tests and multiple lectures later. You sat in your dorm room, folding fresh laundry, waiting for Toni to arrive back with her two friends from home. You had to admit, you were a little nervous to meet her friends. You wanted them to like you, of course, since you and Toni had grown so close as not only roommates, but friends. Them not liking you was like a family not approving a boyfriend or girlfriend.

As you tucked sweatpants away into their respective drawers, the door swung open and laughter filled the dorm room. “There she is,” Toni smiles. “Y/N, these are my friends, Sweet Pea and Fangs. Guys, this is my roommate and my saving grace, Y/N.”

She gives you a side hug as you shake hands with Fangs. His hair is jet black, neatly gelled and combed. He wore a neat flannel and jeans cuffed with motorcycle boots. He sent you a smile, “Nice to finally put the name to a face. Toni never shuts up about you.”

It was sweet to hear that Toni talked so highly of you. You were sure she had revealed some embarrassing things about nights out, but you didn’t mind. You weren’t gonna see Sweet Pea or Fangs all the time. “All good things I hope.” You turn to Sweet Pea. He is about a solid foot taller than you, but his presence in the room makes him appear taller. His hair is greasily gelled compared to Fangs, but carries the same raven hair. He wore a plain navy t-shirt and jeans, but the thing that stuck out the most to you was the double headed serpent tattoo on his neck. He was compelling to look at. The way his lips turned into a small smirk made your heart rate skyrocket. “Hi,” you finally manage to speak. 

“Hi,” he replies. “Let’s be honest. How much is Topaz paying you to be her friend.”

Toni punches him in the arm as you tease back, “Not enough.” This causes Sweet Pea to laugh, taking the moment to check you out in your yoga pants and your college sweatshirt that was far too big on your small body.

The four of you created small talk before you excused yourself to grab more laundry that was drying downstairs. Almost immediately after you exit, Toni says, “Pea, I swear to God, if you try to fuck my roommate tonight...”

Sweet Pea rolls his eyes, “She’s hot! And who says I was tryna get ass tonight? Maybe I just wanted to talk.”

Toni gives him a look. “Since when have you ever just ‘wanted to talk.’ I’ve known you for almost fifteen years, Pea. I’m not an idiot.”

Fangs nods. “It’s not that hard to tell when you think a girl is hot. You get that weird look in your eye and you start to smirk. It’s really creepy, to be honest.” Pea slaps his arm for that comment. “I’m being honest!”

“That’s besides that point,” Toni interjects. “Just don’t try to screw her and then leave her. She’s not into that and she’s had it happen to her multiple times before.”

Pea shakes his head and he gets a little disappointed that someone who looked like you would be treated that way. But hopefully, Pea could do some convincing tonight to show you that not all guys are like that.

Later in the night, you sat at you desk and make shift vanity, applying a few coats of mascara to your lashes as Toni brushed her hair. “Are you sure that we don’t have to bring any drinks? You sure that the guys have a stash there?” Toni asks you again, wondering if she should bring the bottle of Malibu she has had hidden in her sock drawer.

Looking at her, you simply state, “We are girls, Toni. Ladies drink free at frat parties. Sweet Pea and Fangs on the other hand should bring something if they plan on drinking tonight.”

Toni laughs, “Oh, don’t worry. They brought a whole stash from Riverdale.” You chuckle at her comment before there is a few knocks on the door from outside, most likely the guys. “Y/N, you ready?” Toni asks as you grab your phone off its charger and scurry outside along with Toni and her friends.

As you walk off campus to the frat house, you can feel Sweet Pea’s eyes on you as you chat with Fangs. His eyes darted to your bare legs as you wore a black leather mini skirt and off the shoulder top, mentally cursing why you had to look so damn good. It was just gonna make resisting the urge to want you even harder to fight. He knew that solely by the way you looked, you would have guys swarming you tonight and Pea didn’t like that. He had only known you for five hours and he didn’t even entertain the thought of another guy having his hands on you.

When you arrived to the frat party, you and Toni got in for free, no hassle. But Fangs and Pea had to cough up ten dollars each. The frat house wreaked of beer and weed, the two scents not mixing well along with the smell of sweaty, dancing bodies. You waste no time in heading straight to the bar and mixing up vodka sodas for you and Toni. “What are we drinking to?” Toni asks you.

You thought for a second. You usually toasted to good grades, a hot date, or money for food. But tonight was different. “To having a good night with good friends,” you smile at her and then to Fangs and Sweet Pea who have managed to snag beers. The four of you clink your red solo cups together before sipping from them. The ratio of vodka to club soda was way off, causing the vodka to slightly burn your lips as you sipped from the cup, but you shook the feeling away.

The party is like any other party you have been to. People drink way to much and dance poorly to Kanye West songs that blare out of the sound system. You have already lost Toni and you pray to God that she isn’t hooking up with someone without telling you. Fangs has joined a beer pong game which leaves you and Pea to your own devices.

The two of you stand away from the crowd, but it’s hard to hear each other over the music, so you go outside. “I feel like my ear drums are blown out,” Sweet Pea rubs his ear as you laugh. “How loud does music have to be for it to qualify as a frat party, my God.”

It was a little awkward silence between the two of you before Sweets says, “Alright, I wanna know a little bit more about my best friend’s roommate besides the fact that she’s cute.” You lightly blush at his comment. “What are you majoring in?”

“Forensics,” you tell him as he widen his eyes. He wasn’t expecting that. “I know a little odd, but I wanna go into crime studies. Any type of law enforcement at state or national levels.” Sweets is clearly impressed by you. “There’s just so many crimes that are pushed on the innocent and I wanna help end that.”

“That’s cool. Toni is really passionate about that stuff, too,” he says.

You nod your head. “That’s how we met at accepted students day. Man, she would not shut up about it.” Pea laughs. “I love her though. She’s a great friend.” 

He shakes his head. “You’re definitely right about that.” You take another sip of your vodka soda. The more you drink, the more attractive Sweet Pea seems to get if that was even possible. His dark even glimmer faintly under the porch lights of the frat house. They carry this eerie seduction that makes every hair on your body stick up. “Not to sound invasive, but uh, Toni has told me you don’t have the best history with guys.” You physically cringe at his words. “Why, if you don’t mind me asking,” he says more as a statement than a question.

Shrugging, you say, “I don’t know. I just can’t seem to do anything right. I mean every time I’m looking for something more than just a hook up, guys run away. But when I’m looking for a hook up, every guy is taken. It may be because I have awful timing or I’m just that revolting.”

Sweet Pea gives you a look, knowingly. “You’re fucking kidding me, right?” You don’t say anything and finish your drink in your hand. Why you were having this conversation was beyond question. “Look at you. You’re a smoke show,” he compliment as a rosy hue rises to your cheeks. “The guys are stupid as shit if they think twice about talking to you.”

“Thank you,” you tell him. “But I’m just saying that this is the shit that happens. It’s the way it is. No guy will ever find me hot enough to ask me out, nevertheless kiss me. I mean, Jesus Christ, is it that hard to just walk up to someone and-”

You’re cut off when Sweet Pea’s lips are on yours. His lips are hot on top of yours as you slowly kiss him back, wrapping your arms around his neck. He pulls you closer as you press your lips against his harder. You open your mouth, allowing his tongue to enter your mouth, his mouth tasting of a cool mint. You tangle your fingers in his hair, getting lost in the sensation about how good his mouth feels as he presses hot, open mouth kisses down your neck. “Shit,” you breathe out as Pea cuts you off again, kissing your mouth harshly, pulling your bottom lip between his teeth. You lightly smile before connecting your lips again.

But before you can continue, a voice speaks, “Are you guys done yet? Fangs and I have been waiting to challenge you two to a game of pong.” Looking up, you see Toni in the doorway, brows raising, telling you that she will definitely be asking you questions about this later tonight.

“We’ll be right in,” Pea speaks for the both of you, dismissing Toni. He reverts his attention back to you. “And you were saying before?” his words tease you as he squeezes your hips.

Smiling softly, you reply, “I stand corrected.”
