⸻ again? again.

so here's the thing about doyun: he's a constant buzzing in certain people's ears, he's bad at math (and says it's because he's queer), and he can and will leave deadlines until the last minute and claims he works better under pressure while he shifts his weight from one foot to the other in front of sikyung's dorm door and two coffees in tow because he knows they're going to be up for a while because of said deadline he pushed off. this wasn't the first time that doyun has shown up at his dorm because he needed help with an academic assignment (practicals, he was totally fine; academics were just a beast that could not be tamed without copious amounts of medication that he had stopped taking somewhere between leaving high school and starting at lumera).
so when doyun sighs at himself and rolls his eyes skyward at his own ineptitudes, he thinks maybe he should really stop waiting until the last minute to do his assignments. and then he remembers that he's been thinking the same thing for the last several years and that hasn't changed yet, so he'll probably forget his apprehension after his assignment is done and then continue to put things off until he graduates by the skin on his back. c's get degrees, after all. (nevermind that augs would turn a stern look that looked out of place on his cute, fuzzy face for that statement.)
he shuffles the coffees so they're in one hand and finally reaches out to land a knock on the front of sikyung's door, quickly moving the drinks back so he doesn't accidentally drop one—least of all sikyung's. that's his in today, his bribe for his friend because it's not an uncommon occurrence for doyun to show up only a few days before he has an assignment due and whine that he needs help. he just keeps going to sikyung specifically because he likes to bother him, and well he continues to entertain doyun's dramatics and that's good enough for doyun.
when the door swings open, doyun plasters his best apologetic smile on his face and holds the black coffee out as a peace offering of sorts. "hi," he starts, his backpack a considerable and literal weight on his shoulders, "i brought coffee."
ㅤㅤㅤthings are simple with sikyung, if he's not actively in class, he's not actively doing schoolwork. instead, he finds himself lying down in his bed with an open book over his eyes because perhaps he did fall asleep trying to do schoolwork. can you blame him ? who actually wants to be forced to read ? the answer would be nobody and that's why sikyung has his eyes closed, hot air through his nose hitting the pages of his book while ssam sleeps comfortably in his lap.
ㅤㅤㅤof course ssam had tried to get sikyung to do the work, emphasizing that he needs to start figuring out what he wants to do with his life because if he doesn't then he's going to end up right back on the streets once he's out of lumera. it's a common fight between them, one that makes fire dance in sikyung's eyes and has him shutting down anything that ssam has to say. he knows deep down that his companion is just looking out for him, but when it comes to a future sikyung's not even sure he wants, he hates talking about it.
ㅤㅤㅤthere's the slightest bit of anger still coursing through his veins when he hears the knock at the door. at first, sikyung ignores it, not wanting to deal with whoever the fuck is coming to bother him ( probably his fucking neighbor having some more shit to say ). yet, when he hears the knock again, he's huffing, ssam moving off of his lap so sikyung can stand, brows furrowed and an angry little pout on his lips as he's tugging open the door, "what—" the anger charged sentence drops from his mouth at seeing doyun on the other side of the door, a coffee being extended towards him.
ㅤㅤㅤsikyung being offered coffee automatically makes the fire sizzle from his eyes, but coming from doyun ? it suddenly has his heart beginning to beat a faster pace in his chest. oh, what a simple boy does to him— something that has ssam rolling his eyes and walking back from sikyung's side at the door to his comfy little corner of the bed, eyes closing once again.
ㅤㅤㅤ"hi," sikyung's voice is gentle when he speaks ( albeit a little foggy with sleep ), as it usually is when it comes to doyun. something he's reprimanded himself for on the daily, but he can't help it. for never wanting to give his heart to someone, it sure does go haywire when doyun is around looking all cute and shit. "trying to bribe your way in ?" even though sikyung is already stepping aside to let doyun in, the door closing behind them as he guides him back to his room and plops down on his bed once again. "please tell me we don't have to study, i already tried." sikyung motions to the left-for-dead items of schoolwork all over his bed. "can i nap while you work ?"
