"I wonder why he walked off like that. Although I thought I felt something.. Cooper is hot and..." Desiree trailed off as she realized what she was saying. "Oh great, no I did not just say that.. And who am I talking to?" Desiree questioned herself looking around, the ringing tone of her phone got her attention now, she looked at the caller ID and saw it was Ellery. "Now that's the guy I should be thinking is hot, which he is. And much stronger then me" Desiree said giggling a bit before answering.

"Hello Co- Ellery.. What's up?" Desiree asked, aware she had almost said Cooper, however she was just talking to him, so it was natural to get confused with two different people, lord Desiree had done that with the few friends she had.

Ellery raised an eyebrow before shrugging. "Zephyr, Dante and I are gonna go get some dinner, wanna come with?" he asked.

"Sure, where are you? I will come and meet you" Desiree replied standing up, smiled for a moment "So.. Like a double date is it by the way?" Desiree asked chuckling for a moment.

"The disturbing kind yes." Ellery pointed out since Zephyr and Dante were his siblings. "We're not too far from your dorm actually we're just outside."

***

"What are you doing?" Caroline asked when she saw Cooper come out from Desiree's, Hikari's and her dorm room she eating a bag of chips.

Desiree turned into a fit of laughter "Oh my god, I can't believe I totally forgot that" Desiree replied smiling before walking out the door to greet them, hanging up the phone. "So, how are we?" Desiree asked before kissing Ellery passionately.

Cooper looked up to see Caroline there now, he had still been distracted by the thoughts running through his mind. "Oh hey, nothing at all" Cooper said, besides crushing on his roommate's girlfriend, he had to find someone to kiss, date and sleep with, he couldn't allow this to happen, he knew Desiree was hot and had feelings for her now, but he refused to let himself act on it, he looked at Caroline again. "Say.. Do you have a date tonight?" Cooper asked, he knew she didn't like him or aleast when they first met, but he wasn't going to take the other option that would end in betrayal and anger.

"No dates." Caroline shook her head. "I'm not gonna be a replacement for my roommate." she pointed out boredly before sighing. "But maybe if you buy me dinner I can actually eat something that isn't junk food for once." she said before throwing the bag aside.

"Hey." Ellery said before he kissed Desiree back, his arms wrapping around her. "I'm tired." he chuckled. "We've been doing training all afternoon with...those." he pointed at the weights on the floor.

"Roommate? What are you talking about? I don't think of Desiree in that way" Cooper said chuckling in an awkward way, not getting what Caroline meant exactly. "Um yeah, I can buy you dinner. Although in most worlds that is usually a date, but we will make it.. Two people talking and having dinner" Cooper said trying to steer it away from the slip up he just did, he hoped she wouldn't catch on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Aw, well then you must be really hungry" Desiree replied kissing him again. "I don't even feel tired, but that's probably because I spent my day in bed and then hung out with um Cooper and stuff, so why don't we head to grab something" Desiree replied.

"Yeah, Dante's buying." Elleyr smiled before turning to hsi siblings.

***

"Nice try." Caroline grinned and started walking. "Let's just go."

"Ooh, what a gentleman" Desiree said smiling at Dante "Good, because I am kinda hungry, although I was eating with Cooper, I still can eat" Desiree commented.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, can't blame a guy for trying" Cooper said, thankfully she didn't seem to notice the slip up, although he did wonder exactly what replacement was she talking about? Cooper wondered if she knew Luna but realized that would be stupid, he highly doubted that part. He walked along with her.

"You were eating with Cooper?" Ellery raised an eyebrow.

***

"I guess." Caroline shrugged. "Thanks though."

"Yes, what's wrong with that? He's your friend and I thought we might as well get to know each other better" Desiree said still smiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So.. What would you like to eat?" Cooper asked

"I know."> Ellery nodded his head, deciding not to comment on it.

***

"I don't know something good." Caroline shrugged.

"So how was the training? Feel any stronger?" Desiree asked with a smile.

~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And since this isn't a date, I hope you know I am only paying for mine" Cooper said with a sly smile. "Seems fair don't you think?" Cooper questioned.

"More tired." Ellery laughed. 'Both Zephyr and I are." he pointed out before stretching his legs a bit. "We only did leg workout though."

***

"That's unfair." Caroline deadpanned.

"Well, then you will feel stronger later after you had a good rest" Desiree pointed out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, if you want me to pay I guess I can, it's just normally I reserve that for friends and dates, but if we are friends then I can buy" Cooper replied.
