Notes

Pairing: Zayne x MC/Reader College AU, mature, playful, banter, interruption/almost getting caught, short one shot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The door shuts behind you with a quiet click as you step into Zayne’s dorm, the weight of the afternoon settling in. It’s been a long day—lectures, note-taking, barely resisting the urge to sleep through the most boring professor in existence—but now, you’re here. And so is Zayne.

He tosses his bag onto his desk, already reaching for his books. Predictable.

You, however? You have other priorities.

Zayne barely has time to pull out a chair before your arms slide around his waist from behind, pressing your body flush against his. Warm. Even with the slight chill of his skin, you can still sense the subtle warmth beneath.

“You’re not really about to start studying, are you?” you murmur, lips brushing against the fabric of his shirt.

Zayne exhales, already weary, though you catch the subtle way his fingers tense around the book. “That was the plan.”

You hum, letting your hands wander a little—fingertips tracing the hem of his sweater, slipping just underneath. His stomach flinches at your touch, and you feel him take a sharp breath.

“We just got back from class,” he says, voice dipping lower.

“Mhm.” You press closer, lips grazing the edge of his jaw. “So?”

The book shuts in his hand.

Zayne turns, a flicker of something dangerous in his gaze—something that sends a sharp thrill down your spine.

“So,” he echoes, voice even, “you’re really insistent on making my life difficult.”

You grin. “Always.”

And that’s all it takes.

Zayne’s mouth finds yours in a claiming kiss, heat surging between you in an instant. He maneuvers you toward the bed with precise movements, barely breaking contact. Clothes come off in rushed, impatient motions—sweaters, jeans, until all that’s left is the press of bare skin and the way he fits perfectly against you.

His weight pins you to the mattress, grounding you as your fingers tangle in his hair, pulling him closer. His lips map a slow descent—over your throat, your collarbone—each touch leaving heat in its wake. His hand drifts lower, guiding your hips as he pushes forward, a sharp gasp spilling from your lips at the stretch, the slow, intoxicating slide of him sinking into you—

Knock. Knock.

"RA check!"

The sound slams into your skull like a gunshot.

For half a second, you’re frozen—so is Zayne. He’s still inside you, still hovering just above, his chest rising and falling against yours.

And then, at the exact same time, you both react.

Shit.

You shove at him, and Zayne, caught off guard, nearly topples over the edge of the bed. Sheer panic sets in. Clothes? Where? Everything is everywhere. The room is a crime scene. Zayne’s still half-naked, and you—oh god, butt naked—

"Give me a moment," Zayne calls out, voice so stiff that it almost sounds forced.

The RA doesn’t answer, but you can feel them standing there, waiting.

Zayne is halfway to his feet, hastily yanking on his pants, while you dive for your hoodie, slipping it on over your head with panicked urgency. The bed is a disaster, pillows askew, sheets very obviously disturbed.

"Where’s my—" You start to ask, but then you see it.

Your underwear.

On the floor. In plain sight.

You lunge for it, stuffing it under the pillow just as Zayne reaches the door. His shirt is only half buttoned, his hair an absolute wreck—but there’s no time.

You hear the door unlock, followed by the creak of it opening.

The RA stands there, arms crossed, scanning the room with a slow, calculating gaze.

It’s silent.

Then...

“…Huh.” The RA squints. “This place looks… occupied.”

Your pulse spikes. Judging by their expression, they probably thought someone was doing drugs—until their gaze landed on you both. Now, you're not sure which assumption is worse.

You and Zayne are sitting on opposite sides of the bed—way too stiff, way too guilty. His hands are on his lap, posture rigid. You’re tugging your hoodie down like it might somehow erase the evidence.

The RA’s gaze lingers on the extra pillow. The extra blanket. The general vibe of the room that very clearly does not belong to just one person.

"You two aren’t—" They pause. Reconsider. Their tone shifts, something dangerously knowing curling into it. "You don’t live here, do you?"

You force out a very casual, “Nope.”

Zayne, ever the composed one, simply says, “She just spends time here.”

The RA gives him a look.

The silence stretches.

Then, finally—

“…Right,” the RA says, dragging the word out just a little too long.

There’s no proof. They know what’s going on, but they can’t call it out outright. Instead, they exhale, rubbing the bridge of their nose.

“I better not find out you’re actually living here,” they mutter. “Because if I do—” Their eyes flick between the two of you. “I’ll have to report it, and you’ll be sent back to your own room. Understood?”

You nod so fast you probably give yourself whiplash. “Understood.”

The RA lingers for a second longer, but then, mercifully, finally steps back. “Keep it down,” they say. Then, with a skeptical glance at the still-messy bed, they shut the door behind them.

Silence.

Stillness.

You exhale hard, slumping against the bed. Zayne drags a hand down his face, tension leaking out of his shoulders.

“That,” he mutters, “was almost a disaster.”

You turn your head to look at him, still breathless. Your pulse is still racing—not just from the panic, but because you never actually finished. You were just getting to the good part, after all.

Your gaze drops to his lips.

Zayne notices.

His fingers twitch against the sheets. You see the moment it clicks for him—the way his eyes darken, the way his hand shifts just slightly toward you.

You lean in.

“So,” you murmur, voice lower now, teasing. “Where were we?”

Zayne exhales through his nose, tilting his head like he’s thinking. Then, very slowly, he shifts closer, his fingers sliding back to your thigh, his body pressing in just enough to make you shiver.

“I believe,” he says, voice steady but full of promise, “I was in the middle of something.”

And this time, no one interrupts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes

Before Zayne just played along with MC antics but I feel like now he could be starting it ahahahahaha

I was editing to add the rest of the series part but it was too long ahahaha so here's just the whole list: College AU list ✨

[npuppet]

LaDs Rambles #8 ft Ever lol

Based on this theory reel in insta

TLDR;

Xavier is Sylus’s “rival” since they both came from Philos/prince vs dragon, light vs dark all that, Rafayels “rival” could actually be Caleb with the whole sea and sky parallel leaving Zayne to not have a “rival” anymore. So with the theory that the patient at the end of the current story being the sixth LI it parallels doctor and patient right? (Caleb being Zayne’s rival would be a red herring essentially)

So Ever is a biotechnology company that is involved in biotech, aerospace (how they keep Caleb under wraps), Evol Energy, and international trade

I noticed two things

In Final Farewell Ever focused on condensing human consciousness into data so it could live forever (and this was before the Chronorift Catastrophe/pre Evol existence)

And

They experimented on MC who could die and be revived/brought back to life every time (also they were interested in her Aether Core which just magically appeared after she dies the first time)

Sooooo Ever is trying to find immortality or at the very least a way to extend life beyond what current technology can do

I think the supposed sixth LI is associated with Ever but not in charge or at least doesn’t know the lengths Ever is going to to find a cure if he is terminally ill (otherwise it would, in my opinion, be hard to like the LI if he is so morally corrupt)

It could be Ever’s CEO’s son or someone who is somehow important to Ever, making it so the sixth LI is innocent in the face of Evers crimes against humanity

Y’all picking up what I’m putting down??
