āCalm down, okay? Iām seriously not that bad, but if you keep panicking itās gonna make me panic and that will make everything a lot worse.. That person back there is fine, they werenāt watching where they are going. So it really wasnāt my fault, it was their own stupid fault.āĀ
āWhat the fuck, Lux. You just ran into someone, you need to pull over. I canāt believe you drove us all the way to Starbucks.ā

āCanāt be as weird as Casu marzu. ā Hazel eyes catch brown and thereās a mock shiver at the mention of the exotic cheese. But really, itās exciting, learning or tasting something he doesnāt quite know. āMust be good then, I think the closest thing Iāve had to that mightāve been coconut riceāSo is it a family recipe or? ā He canāt help the snort that follows the observation. While itās true? He canāt say he minds much. Itās his time to decompress from everything surrounding when heās blasting classical music and rolling his sleeves up to prepare ingredients and cook wear. āSo long as theyāre not wasting it, I donāt mind making it.ā He wanders to the fruit next, odd shapes and colorful varieties. Until his gaze settles on something familiar from childhoodāHeās rather surprised to see it in the first place really. Miracle fruit.Ā Ā āWe need two pounds of that for science.ā
Callum laughs outright at the otherās expression. Maggot cheese, lord have mercy. He runs a hand through his hair in a poor attempt to compose himself. What is this. Them, hanging out, talking about their childhoods. When Castorās eyes meet his own itās almost like things are a little too perfect.Ā āKind of. Itās a pretty basic recipe. Itās just that itās supposed to be cooked in a clay pot, but I donāt think weāll find one of those.ā A rice cooker, that could substitute. It wouldnāt quite be the same as when his own mother cooked the dish, but Callum knows that most things arenāt the same now.āAnd then they eat it all by the time I get back to the house, but I guess I forgive youā Callum runs his hands through the crate of oblong red berries, they remind him a little of mike and ikes. He perks up a little at that keyword.Ā āFor science?ā
ā Whatād you get for four?ā Ā His own gaze drifts down to his own paper as he scratches out the problem on his scrap piece and takes another swig of much too sweet coffee before popping open the milk and diluting for his own health. It doesnāt take a genius to tell the subject makes Callum a tad apprehensiveāBut then, Bastian doesnāt exactly expect to be floored by the overall admission.. āBoth of you are horrible--I swear to bloody christ the pinning is gonna go and drive the rest of us mad in that house.Ā ā He snorts and lets his own gaze lower back down to the paper, pencil scratching away a few numbers before he gives the last thought on the subject.Ā ā If he likes you as much as you like himāHeāll walk away from it. Quitting to T.A. another class is acceptable isnāt it?ā
Callum flips around his own notebook, the margins full of doodles, trading Bas the correct matrix for the bottle of milk. He opts to just drink the milk- that Starbucks frappe seemed utterly void of caffeine. He ignores the complaint on pining. Yeah, heād already made plans to spend the rest of the semester moping.. āOh,ā His hand stops for a moment, pen hovering above paper.Ā āI think thatās viable, but we both value our education so much... Iāll try to bring it up to him.ā In recent years, his relationship with Bas has evolved from antagonistic loosened salt shaker pranks to an oddly casual mutualism. Heās grateful for the suggestion, something plain that shouldāve occurred to him. At least it would save his Lambda brothers from a house of pure pining.
ā If thereās no noise complaint in the neighborhood they arenāt doing it right.ā Thereās a certain unwelcome feeling he canāt quite pinpoint when it comes to Callum. Theirs was a friendship started by convenience. Of like minds in terms of studiousnessāAnd beacons of sanity at respective family gatherings. But try as he might? Itās evolved beyond the playful antagonism & synchronized side eye. Heād genuinely like to see Callum something other than stressed and overworked. And honestly? He only really seems to let his guard down around one particular individual these days. Itād really take a dense idiot not to note the mutual interest.Ā ā I call bullshit, itās a disturbing amount of babyface on a fine tuned body.ā Ā Bas lofts a sardonic brow.Ā ā Youāre talking like a canāt do both.Ā ā
āDamn right.ā Again, his attention strays back to the problem sets before him. This is what heās for, even if he can barely keep his eyes open. His pen continues across the notebook and he waves Bas off with one hand.Ā āDoesnāt bother me, heās fine.ā Callum mumbles. His work continues like this, focusing on his own work and letting the other talk on about babyfaces and twinks. āBas, you can barely walk and talk at the same timeā Look, can you just drop this thing. My adviser wonāt let me switch out of his class, and I donāt want to lose credit. So nothingās going to happen with Castor and me.ā He holds Basās gaze before abruptly returning to the study material. Itās easier than dealing with the dejection.
You donāt have to bribe me, Iāll get you some coffee for free.
Noo, come on. You need to respect your coffee making talents.
ā Not badāHighway to hell, cello rendition. All the good musicians are dead and thereās no way Iām not being buried to live music.ā Itās not like he doesnāt know the bloke about as well as his cousin by now right? Or dated one of the people that happens to know him the most.Ā āYouāre into the twink thing?ā Ā A mild look of amusement follows as unscrews the top of his drink and takes a swig.Ā ā Funny, couldāve sworn your type ran more along the lines of Campus dad.Ā ā
āI respect that. Cellos are definitely the way to go.ā Their conversations are primarily limited to school affairs and Walsh family gossip, and only very rarely and drunkenly do they discuss Callumās love life. āFirst of all, Zac Efron is a twunk, and heās everyoneās thing.ā Callum takes another drink from the bottle, choking a little. But thatās more from Basās comment than the saccharine laced coffee. He clears his throat,Ā āFuck, this is disgusting.. Were you planning on studying or just being your regular nuisance?ā
āIād get you coffee whenever you needed it. Donāt be silly! Come down to the kitchen with me and I can make some for you? I got these cute chai flavoured things in the other day too if you wannaā try.ā
āYouāre actually an angel, Tam.ā He loves her like a sister, but his head is aching and foggy and her energy just makes him feel worse Nonetheless, he gives her a grateful smile, getting up to follow her down to the kitchen.Ā
ā What song do you want played at your funeral?ā His expression is placid, as he returns with two bottles of sugared up crap, mocha something-ccino. And extra bottle of milk.Ā āThis is more like diabetes to go.ā Ā He nudges the drink toward the over worked brunet and settles among his own books with an emphatic shake of the bottle.Ā ā And more importantly should Troy give the eulogy as the grieving widower?Ā ā
āEasy,Ā āThis Must Be the Placeā Talking Heads. What about you?ā Callum Ā squints at the nutrition label, then, wishing he hadnāt looked, he cracks open the bottle and takes a swig. He makes about another line of progress in his math problem before he stops again. Really, did everyone in Lambda know about his horrible crush.He gives a small nod in complete serious, āI love Zac Efron, that would be amazing.ā
ā How are you still alive?ā Thereās a brief look of bemusement spared, before the brunet rolls his eyes and moves to his feetāĀ āKeep it, your notes are neater than mine. Iāll copy them as payment.Ā ā and towards the vending machine.Ā ā Starbucks is as good as it gets right nowā¦āĀ
āLiterally just hanging on for fucking linear algebra.ā Callum shakes his head in an attempt to refocus on the notebooks in front of him. For as much coffee he drinks, heās never cared much for quality. āCaffeine is caffeine.ā
āIām not even kidding, Iām about to pass out.Ā āwhat about five dollars? Will that convince you to get me some coffee?ā
frat boysĀ eat so much damn food | cas
āComplicated stuff? ā His interest is peaked at the mention of food, even more so at the fact the brunet might enjoy the other fast paced end of the spectrum. It seemed almost impossible really, Callum was the anathema of exercise. Beyond that mythical bowling team.Ā Ā āYeah, I suppose so.ā thereās a hint of a smile in place as he works his way through a neatly stacked pile of avocados on display. Ā āYeah, they were both really big on international cuisineāIt was a pain in the ass pronouncing the ingredients when I was a kid.ā His nose crinkled before he motioned the next vendor over, and made a beeline for the french green beans and sweet potatoes.Ā
āMore like.. weird stuff.ā Callum gives a little shrug before elaborating,Ā āUh, itās called pongal? Itās this type of dessert mostly with rice and milk, for this Tamil festival. I make it with my sisters.ā Heās rarely this vocal about his own family life, but he can picture a miniature Troy struggling to pronounceĀ āparmigianoā and he figures itās okay to reciprocate.Ā āI guess it paid off, now you just have to cook for the whole frat.ā The two are about to move on and Callum adds another avocado to Castorās bag- itās an addiction. At the next stand, a small jar of cardamom and cashews follow after.
