@prettyboyelio } starter for college au
“Wait – you need me to what?”
Isaac’s hand was hovering over his ramen with noodles sliding between his chopsticks to fall back into the nest of noodles in the takeout box. He’d almost completely forgotten about it, staring at his unfairly hot dormmate.
“Dude – no. I can’t – I don’t wanna like rehearse a whole play with you!” As confusion settled deeper than the shock, his brow knit. “And don’t you have one of the romantic lead parts? You should ask a girl!”
As that thought fully processed in his head, though, he stared at his roommate and swallowed, mouth suddenly dry. “I mean, right?”
It wasn’t ideal, but it was his best bet. He needed to practice and finding a girl who didn’t instantly think it was something more was going to take years, and that was no exaggeration.
“You don’t have to do the /whole/ thing with me, Isaac, just the dialogue!” He had insisted before he was all but plopping down onto the other teenager’s bed.
“C’mon, please? This is super important to me, and i’ll owe you one.” Elio could so easily bat his eyelashes and pull on a pout, that it was next to impossible to say no to that face.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Pretty please?”
