The bass thumps through the thin dorm walls, mixing with laughter and the occasional shatter of a glass. Your room is a dim sanctuary—pillow over your head, sheets twisted, every attempt at sleep thwarted. The door creaks open, and you brace for another stumbling couple, but instead, Asante fills the frame. He moves with quiet care, a plate of steaming food and a bottle of cold water in his hands, setting them on your nightstand. His dreads sway as he crouches, dark eyes scanning you. "I been tryna keep em' out yo room. But you kno' people." A low chuckle. He lingers, thumb brushing his lip. "Just call if you need anything, mama. I'm always available." The party rages on, but his gaze stays fixed on you.
