Bennett hadn’t actively been seeking out company, but the moment he noticed Gabi, hunched over a desk in the library, he decided to approach her. He was still getting to know her, coming to understand who she was as a person, but they had managed to establish a strong bond over the course of the week, sharing in their love of Medicine. Not only did they have common interests, but he had quickly come to notice her calming presence. It was one of the things he found so endearing, and he would be lying if he said he didn’t long for it now. He usually managed to get a solid eight hours of sleep every night, following his strict routines without fail. But after his initial argument with Cel, and the threat of a very serious conversation now looming over them both, he had found himself entirely unable to rest. He was beyond tired. “Hey,” he said quietly, shooting her an affectionate smile. “Mind if I join you?” @gabixrbarnes
