It wasn't your choice to still live with your brother, Uhtred, but he lived close to the University you attended and he let you stay rent free so it was a win-win deal on your part. The only downfall was his friends were over all the time.

You never had any issues with them in honesty. Sometimes you'd have to ask them to quiet down if you were trying to study and they would, spouting apologies as they went about their game or show.

Finan, Sihtric and Osferth were all kind, a bit rambunctious but you loved them all anyway, like additional brothers...except Osferth. Something about the more reserved former theology student drew you in. He was shy, and blushed easy a few years ago, but ever since he bought a motorcycle, he gained a confidence you had never seen.

So when your car broke down, you had to have your Uhtred or his friends pick you up every other day after lecture. Normally it was Uhtred or Sihtric but today the familiar sound of Osferth’s bike came roaring around the corner. Your friends snickered and started whispering of his handsomeness as he came to a stop in front of you all, lifting his helmet off with a sweet smile, dismounting the bike.

“Hey, Uhtred is working late and called. You ready?”
