A shallow set of steps echoed above the teenager's head, lazily clicking down and upon the ceiling.
Or his floor, rather.
"Either way," the teenager said into the bed, to himself, as no one else was in the damp apartment, "They happen to be LOUD."
His left hand pushed the boy up, who rubbed at his eyes hestitantly, checking for an objects in his right hand. A moment of blinking at his cigarette-free palm, and he sat upon the bottom part of his legs, pulling his small hands through the mussed hair adorning his head.
A small patch fell indignantly on his forehead, brushing it's dark strands against his nose.
The nineteen year-old groggily slipped off the bed, making his way towards the small bathroom/closet. His fingers curled around the water handle, demanding the same cold water the "hot" would always eject, despite it's misguided lableing.
The same digits retreated under the makeshift waterfall, cupping the iron-enriched water with the accompaning hand from his other arm.
Slamming his eyes closed in slight distaste, he threw it forward onto his face, shivering at the temperature. "What a way to wake up..." He said to his reflection, patting at his cheeks with a straingtened towel on the small rack. It remained damp enough to bubble the soap rubbed against it, spreading and seeping across the young man's face. It was attractive enough, and better than most in the matter of condtion.
More liquid ice slammed against the skin, flooding away the cleaner, and fully engulfing itself in the handtowel again. He breathed against the clean smell, smiling. He could take care himself fine, that Stephen.
True to rumor, he had only been able to afford a small, rickity aparment filled with the drunks and various harlots of the city, but it appeared to be a transport to a normal student's dorm, if not cleaner. Despite being fine around the filth around him, he disliked being the cause of it.

Huh, that was fun. =3 If I feel so inclined, I might continue it, provided I am persuaded. This is pure random drivel people, so if you like, comment. I might actually come up with a plot. xD
