Chapter Text
A cold and dark half empty dorm…
Half-assed taped pictures, lazily pinned posters and dumb trophies from places they've hacked together.
They never really cared how unprofessional or rugged their dorm looked, to be completely honest they would have said that they don't care at all. As long as he was there they would feel like their whole world was complete.

The two lay quietly in the sad twin sized bed staring at the ceiling saying absolutely nothing, no jokes, no flirting, no small talk. Nothing.
Both were exhausted to the point of no return, it was a struggle to not fall asleep like this.
Noli glances to the side of them towards 7n7 with bags under their eyes and a pathetic expression barely visible underneath their hood before they close their eyes. They wonder when they'll finally have their turn, when they'll be able to actually speak how they feel.
But they know that it'll never happen.
They'll never get to say how much they really want him.
They'll wait as long as it takes to get him alone.
.

But even then they know that it's useless. He'll never love them the way that they love him.
Noli slowly opens their eyes to see 7n7 looking back at him with a loopy and lazy but heartwarming smile. It makes them feel something they wish they didn't. God they hate how easy it is to love this man.
“S3v..?” Despite Noli's distorted voice they speak calmly.
“Yeah..?” 7n7 replied a bit cautiously, he wasn't too sure what was going through Noli's head but he knew that this would be a hard conversation for him.
Noli turns on their side to fully face 7n7, unsure of what to say they just simply look at him with a strong sense of longing and need. But they won't admit that, will they?
“Nol?” 7n7 spoke gently, almost comfortingly. Noli loved that voice. They loved knowing that at least someone was capable of caring for them. Or…at least they think.
Noli lays there for a bit leaving 7n7 unanswered, they watch him breath slowly, the raise and fall of his chest, the slight tilt to his pink square glasses…they must admit that he's at least pretty. For sure eye candy…
Noli moves their hand to rest between the two unsure of what to do or what to say anymore
“y0ur 4 gr34t fr13nd..y0u kn0w th4t?” they sound almost vulnerable as they laugh weakly, their heart not fully in it
"...sure i do," 7n7 whispers softly as he scoots closer to Noli on the twin sized bed
Noli gently reaches out to hold 7n7's cheek and rubs their black claw against his soft face. 7n7 slowly hugs them in a sleepy haze and closed his eyes, feeling a whole lot more tired he slowly drifts off to sleep with Noli still rubbing his cheek.
Soon after Noli yawns and shifts to hold the blonde boy back. They lean their forehead against his as they fall asleep with him not caring about how weird he would find this if he was awake and sober.
The two sleep peacefully as the dark night moves on without them.
