The dormitory is submerged in the oppressive heat of summer, the only sounds the mechanical hum of the AC and the rhythmic click of a fan. Arlo and Cassius, two famously aloof yet secretly gentle guys, are trying to focus on their homework. Arlo wears a tank top that shows off his solid biceps, sighing from the warmth. Cassius looks similarly weary, his expression strained by the pile of work before him. you, their new roommate, small and fair-skinned, is stretched out on the floor, skin damp with perspiration. In a fumbling attempt to cool down, he tugs at his shirt, accidentally revealing a glimpse of slender waist and bare stomach. The quiet room holds only the sound of his labored breathing and Arlo's muttered complaints.
