Chapter 1: Rhett
I looked at my reflection in the mirror for the last time in a while. My short and slightly curly chestnut hair was just the perfect amount of messy which was enough to pass as an effortless look. When I was satisfied with the way I looked, I got out of the bathroom and dragged my huge suitcase across the hallway and towards the stairs.
"Wyatt honey, are you done yet?" My mom yelled from the living room.
"Coming, Ma!" I carefully lifted my heavy suitcase down the stairs, carefully placing it on the steps when I got too tired. In my haste, I felt the handle on my hands slip, causing the plastic wheels of the suitcase to slip down as well and earning a loud yelp from my mother. That's when I felt my brother's presence behind me as he supported me from falling on one hand and catching my suitcase on the other.
"Sorry, Rhett, I slipped." I said as he effortlessly lifted my suitcase with one hand down the flight of stairs to where the rest of our bags were lined up.
Rhett is my older brother; he was two years older than me but the stark difference between how our bodies were built would suggest way more than that. He was part of the university's football roster, and he was also a gym rat whereas I wasn't that much into sports and I didn't particularly consider myself as someone who's physically active. I work out regularly though, just not as often and dedicated as Rhett.
He was also much taller than me at six foot two, and while I was not someone you would consider short for people my age, I looked like a dwarf compared to Rhett.
Rhett and I aren't exactly tightly knit or even close as brothers. We didn't wrestle as kids, we didn't fight too much over video games or other silly things and I blame this on the fact that our personalities were far too different for us to vibe. I was really timid and shy as a kid, and I would be too emotional at times while Rhett was very outspoken and independent.
He had tons of friends whereas I had a small circle, which was really fine by the way, since I didn't really need too many. Despite all of this, we didn't ignore each other. I love Rhett, and I know deep down that he cares for me; we just didn't share the same conventional relationship as brothers.
My mom hugged the both of us tightly before sending us off.
"Wyatt, listen to your brother. I'm expecting you to behave young man! Remember everything we talked about." My mom reiterated.
"Yes Ma, please don't worry too much. I'll be good, I promise." I kissed her in the cheek and headed to the car where dad was waiting. I looked back and saw her talking sincerely to Rhett, which is probably something about taking care of me. I can handle myself, sheesh.
After some tearful goodbyes, we were on our way. I sat comfortably in the backseat while Rhett accompanied dad in the passenger seat. The drive on the way to the university was mostly dominated by music, and dad didn't start talking until we were close to the dormitory inside the campus where Rhett and I would be staying.
"Wyatt, I'm expecting you to be good, okay? No parties and drinking. Absolutely no smoking and of course you can't join fraterni-"
"Dad, trust me, I'm not gonna do any of that. I'll be good."
"Let me finish, Wy. I also said that to my Dad when they sent me off to college but I did it anyway. I just don't want you to commit the same mistakes that I did. Well, not that I regret joining my brotherhood but... anyway, that's not the point!" He turned to Rhett after trailing off from what he was telling me.
"I expect you to watch over your little brother, okay son? Keep him out of trouble. Of course, that applies to you too." he said as he parked his car in front of our dormitory.
The building was modernly designed with a glass facade. It looked more like a mini-condominium than a dormitory, but that's what I'd expect from one the country's most prestigious universities. I helped dad and Rhett unload our stuff as we deposited them at the sitting area in the reception.
Rhett and I signed a couple of papers and we were given our keys. We headed to the elevator with dad, and excitedly trudged over to our unit with our luggages. Our room was actually pretty spacey. A long kitchen stretching to the living room immediately greeted us, and a high partition with sliding wooden and glass doors separated the living room from our bunk beds.
We unloaded our stuff and hung out for a while before dad eventually had to go home.
"See you boys. Take care, give us a call if you have any problem, alright?"
We hugged dad and headed back to the dorm as his car shrunk from the distance.
"Are you excited?" Rhett asked as we sat on the sofa bed while watching TV.
"About what? You mean in general? Yeah I'm pretty stoked, I was excited to go to college for a while and now I'm finally here with you!"
He chuckled and briefly tousled my hair affectionately. He probably still saw me as his clumsy little brother but I didn't mind. We never really interacted like this, probably because we didn't have a chance at home since we spent most of our times locked up in our own rooms on our phones.
"Well you better be, the freshmen will have a uni-wide orientation tomorrow right before your classes officially start. I'll take you there early in the morning."
I beamed and nodded my head.
We watched for a while until he stood up and headed to the bathroom. I suddenly felt jitters inside my stomach. It just sunk in to me now that today was my first day of living independently from my parents. Well, I'm not totally living independently since I was living with Rhett, but it was still a huge change for me.
I heard the showers turn on, and I kept myself busy by chatting with my friends from home. Most of them went to the community college. They were kind of jealous not just because I came to a big university but also because I get to live away from my parents and do stuff that people my age aren't normally allowed to do.
I was too caught up with talking to my friends that I didn't notice Rhett coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. I was caught off guard by the sight in front of me. His arms proudly boasted its bulges, flexing involuntarily as he walked, and his pecs were really perfectly developed. Beads of water ran across his meaty chest down his chiseled abs, ultimately getting absorbed by the towel draped around his perfect waist. Our eyes met, and he wore a stoic face which made me snap out of my reverie.
"Wanna come with us, Wy? My friends wanted to catch up before school starts."
He casually said as he dried his hair with another towel, inadvertently flexing his triceps and showing the smooth patch of hair on his pits. I felt a weird stirring feeling in my chest and I mentally beat myself up before answering.
"Nah, it's okay, Rhett, I'll just stay here."
"You sure?" he asked as he headed to the other side of the partition to change.
"Yeah, I'll be fine here, seriously. If I get bored, maybe I'll just roam around the campus. Don't worry though, I won't go far." I reassured him.
He wore a casual vintage tee with some khaki pants. I don't know why I've only ever noticed now but my brother is really dangerously attractive. His thick brows complimented his deep hazelnut eyes. His jaw had a sharp angle and his lips were the perfect color and plumpness. I must have been staring too long before he asked.
"You okay, Wy? Seriously, just come if you wanna, my friends wanted to meet you anyway." he said as he sat beside me. He smelled so good.
"Maybe next time, Rhett, I'm kinda tired from the long drive. I'm sure I'll meet them soon anyway."
He eventually left me on my own. I got bored after a while so I decided to go out and roam around after wearing sweatpants and a hoodie.
I relished in the fresh air and the cold breeze as I let my eyes wander around the subtly lit gardens and buildings. People were still out and about. I got a couple of stares from people, probably because I was a new face?
Anyway, the campus was surreal. It really felt like a mini forest since between buildings were wide arrays of trees and grasslands and small parks. It was perfect for de-stressing.
I continued walking aimlessly when I heard live music, and I was instantly drawn to the gymnasium where it came from. I asked the guard from the gate if students were allowed to go in, and when I was given the go signal, I sat from a far bench in the stands, some distance away from the stage where a band was playing Fireflies by Owl City.
If there was one thing that calmed me down and made me feel peaceful and at ease, it was music. I closed my eyes and just revelled in my new life and what the future would hold for me. Eventually, the music came to a stop which made me snap out of my trance. The lead guitarist was looking at me, and when our eyes met, he smiled. I smiled back at him and decided to head back home.
"Where were you?" Rhett asked when I got back.
"Oh, I just had a short walk around, sorry I forgot to tell you."
His worried expression was now washed away, and he held up a paper bag in front of me.
"I bought Japanese. Let's eat in a while, I'll just wash up quickly."
After a while, he came back in a white tank top and a red plaid boxer shorts that did terrible job in hiding his bulging manhood. He dressed like this around the house too before he went away for college, but I didn't really notice how uncomfortable it felt until now.
"So, how'd you like the campus?" He asked between bites.
"It's pretty refreshing, I never expected for it to have so many trees in here. It's like a jungle, really."
"Yeah, it's pretty relaxing to stroll around once in a while. Anyway, just tell me if you're lost or if you have any questions, alright? It's pretty hard to memorize the campus at first, you can get overwhelmed."
I nodded and we continued eating in silence.
We played some NBA for a while until I felt the tiredness seep in my muscles, making me yawn involuntarily.
