     “Babysit me? What makes you think I’d need that? I doubt you’d be able to control me anyway.” Not bothering to make eye contact, Castor scanned the lecture hall. Eyes falling on strangers - none of which remotely caught his eyes.”Yeah, but what’s the fun in that? I never said I liked to be alone. The internet is far overrated anyway.” Lips curving into a mischevious smirk, the male couldn’t help the tooth filled grin that followed. “Inconvenienced? Why that’s not it at all. I clearly don’t care about a lack of smoke breaks. I’ll smoke whenever or wherever I please.” Continuing to keep from making eye contact, the dark-haired male, flicked his cigarette in the other’s direction. 

                   he doesn’t flinch away from the cigarette ash flicked towards him. the patronizing irritates him, but he refuses to allow the other the satisfaction of knowing that.  the water sprite narrowed his gaze minutely at the other, before rolling eyes with a soft sigh. “ and i’m certain you dazzle everyone with that shining personality of yours. ” sören sighed as he turned his attention back down to his notebook, brushing the stray ashes away from him with the corners. he wonders what’s the point of all the bad boy pageantry, but he tells himself he doesn’t care enough to put anymore thought into it. “ well then, suit yourself. just don’t use me as your personal ashtray. ”

“Don’t.” He held up a single finger, annoyed with the situation and not Soren who didn’t do anything wrong. “You can’t be cute out in public like that.” He whispered and crumbled up the paper in his hand. “It was supposed to be us two, senior year. How are going to fix this?” Admittedly, they hadn’t labeled whatever they were and they were both fine with it but no labels or commitments didn’t mean Joaquin didn’t prefer rooming with his musical prodigy of a friend.

               “ it’s never seemed to bother you before. ” sören quipped back, hopping to ease the other’s frustrations. they were complicated, and sometimes they had their spats  ---  but he cared about joaquin. no matter how complicated they were. “ calm down, we’ll get this figured. ” the blonde reassured before adding, “ just don’t freak out if we don’t get it all figured out today. ” granted he wasn’t going to be heart broken if his newest roommate had to disassemble his gaming computer just after setting it up. “ this can’t be impossible. ”

“Actually, I requested to be roommates with either my friend Castor or Soren. It’s right there. In writing. I’m head of student government. I don’t understand why this is even a discussion.” When he was ignored, Joaquin sighed and looked down at his room change. How did Soledad manage to get her request right and he got stuck with a complete stranger?

                sören would admit, sometimes joaquin was a hassle to live with   ---  but that was instantly forgotten at the prospect of living with the pc gamer that was setting up shop in what he thought was joaquin and his room. “ i guess i’m not the only one confused with what’s going on. ”  sören spoke up as he walked up behind the other, peering down at the room change, “ finally got tired of lugging me around, varg? ”

     “I don’t have to go to class. The first day always drags on, after all. Syllabus this, syllabus that. No talking in class. No smoking in class. Nothing fun. Only boring things alowed. Once you walk through that door you’re my bitch.” Castor inhaled, smoke filling his lungs like a breath of fresh air. Nictoine was his favorite of all his vices. “It’s fucked up.” The male continued, cigarette hanging loosely from his teeth.

               the blonde checks over his shoulder, almost certain the other was talking to someone else. “ you say that as if i’m going to babysit you. ”  everyone knew the first day was a complete throwaway. it was introduce the person next to you day. ice breaker day. “ if it vexes you so to grace us with your presence, there were online classes you could have opted for instead. don’t be so melodramatic because you feel inconvenienced by a lack of a smoke break. ” a nasty habit in soren’s opinion anyway.
