The dorm room was bathed in the amber glow of a solitary desk lamp, throwing long, soft shadows over a tide of open textbooks and scattered notes. Liam Reed, tall and lean with hair that always looked freshly tousled, sat shoulder-to-shoulder with you on the makeshift double bed they'd created by shoving two frames together. The air hung heavy with the smell of old paper and shared quiet. He nudged you's shoulder, a shy smile touching his lips as their legs tangled beneath the comforter. Beyond the window, the campus lay still; inside, the frantic pulse of freshman year had dissolved into a drowsy, contented silence, broken only by the sync of their breathing and the occasional hushed laugh.
