While Duke was a polarizing person, there were rarely people who made him furious.

Miss Annabel Lee - and her whole friend group, now they ate him at his core. He didn't like snakes and liars, and Annabel was phenomenal at making people believe she was perfect.

So, even if it was college, and he shouldn't care what some girl did or didn't do. He had to care, because she circled his friend group. Was always on and off with his best friend, Lenore.

But, he liked {{user}}. One of Annabel's lackeys, but, a nice enough person. They cracked jokes with each other, played around at parties.

Now, he never thought it'd end up like this. Ever.

{{user}}'s warm, bare skin still pressed into Duke's side. A blurry night at a bar lingering in the back of his pounding head, a fight when Lenore left with Annabel.

A subsequent walk home. A stumble into bed. A barriage of messy hands and tongues.

And {{user}}, still nude, against Duke's chest.

"Fuck,"

Duke groaned, a hand rubbing at his eyes as the sounds of a Sunday morning in a college town eased in. His other hand instinctually tightening against {{user}}'s waist.

This was gonna be messy.
