note: set in Noah and Kevin's college years
Sometimes You Can Study To Hard
The light in the college students dorm room had been on for hours. Now illuminating over Kevin's head where he's sat at his desk for hours now studying for his college finals. Kevin had been at it for a few days now, cramming every last bit of knowledge from his textbooks.
He's gone from chemistry to advanced calculus, his fine arts classes as well as history, he was not going to fail. Having been like this since he was a kid craving academic acceptance from his family and peers, he took on more than he could chew, ignoring his own needs and wants even health just to be seen as more than just smart. no. he wants to be seen as exceptional. If he was not smart then what was he?
As Kevin stared into the textbook his eyes tiredly glossing over every piece of text he takes notes almost absentmindedly as if he's on autopilot. The buzzing of the lights above his head rings throughout his ears becoming increasingly louder, but he ignores the growing headache creeping through his brain, the pounding on his forehead felt like a hammer to a nail.
Kevin looks up for a moment from the entrancement he had on the textbook, his eyes unblurring as he looks around the room and at his roommate's clock besides his bed.
Three o clock in the afternoon, he looks at his stopwatch on his desk realizing he's sat here since six in them morning, he didn't even notice his roommate Noah leave for his religious studies classes. Speaking of Noah he should be back by now, Kevin goes to stand up but quickly sits back down in his chair as a pounding in his head began. He forces his head back up due to the bright light above him shining down on his head, a soft groan escaping his lips as he lazily moves his arms towards his desk drawer, until, the bedroom doors lock unlocks, and in walks his tall, lanky roommate, Noah, who stands in the doorway for a moment walking in and kicking the door shut with his foot.
Noah quickly sets the pizza down on the coffee table in their dorm room and turns to Kevin after dropping his bookbag onto his bed and sitting down.
The first thing Noah says to Kevin rolls off of his tongue so naturally that it doesn't even phase him through his pounding headache. "you look like shit man" Noah gives him a small smile that Kevin can't help but fawn over silently to himself, snapping out of it and focusing back at the matter at hand that his college roommate and small crush just said he looked like shit.
"yeah, I know, I have a splitting headache dude..." a soft groan escapes his lips as a hand goes up to his head dramatically to humor the taller male. "you got any pills?" Noah nods and reaches into his bookbag he always keeps some on him, because recently he's been getting a lot of random headaches that have started interrupting his college work and job.
Kevin takes them from his hand with a small smile, he looks to Noah for a moment a small blush spreading across his face as he suddenly forgets all about his schoolwork and studying instead focusing on the small rambles of the man in-front of him. Kevin listens for a few more moments before wincing and pulling his hand back up to his head this time not to be dramatic instead he is pummeled with another pounding against his skull.
Noah stopped his rambling to pay attention to his roommate almost like a feeling, he brings his hand up to Kevin's head and shoots him a concerned look. "Kev your burning up", Noah gingerly takes Kevin's arms lifting him up from his chair where he can only assume his roommate has been sat at for hours neglecting his health.
As he lifts Kevin to his legs his roommate staggers in place for a moment he gives Noah a soft smile, and Noah returns it silently as he brings his friend to his bed laying him down. Kevin looks up at Noah who went over to their medicine cabinet and pulled out some Night-Quill pouring the purple liquid into the measuring cup provided. He sits at the side of Kevin's bed lifting the medicine cup up to his lips and watches as Kevin drinks it down, making a disgusted face afterwards. "bleh! that taste like shit Noah...". Noah just gives him a small dopey smile and leans down flipping the lid to the pizza box open and pulls out a warm slice of pepperoni pizza shoving it into his mouth.
Kevin stares at Noah watching as he eats the slice of pizza, a small laugh escapes his lips as the medicine slowly begins to hit him his mouth speaking before his brain even processes a thought.
"I like you Noah". Kevin giggles absentmindedly as he speaks those words. Noah looks over at Kevin for a moment and gives him another smile after finishing his bite of pizza. "Thanks, I like you to Kev". The small nickname Noah has for Kevin sounds like music to his ears its warm and soft and it fills him with joy, even through Kevin's loopy state he doubles down on his statement picking up that it went way over Noah's head.
"No. Noah". He says softly and a bit groggily as he sits up in the bed almost falling over but catching himself as he pushes his glasses back up to his face. Forcing his eyes to meet Noah's, who now has his full attention on him.
"I. like. you.", he says sternly and stares at Noah with wide eyes hoping he gets his point across to the taller less aware man. It takes Noah a moment before it dawns on him, what his roommate was getting at. "Oh!" Noah gives him a small smile his eyes widening as he places the unfinished pizza back into the box in a hurry before wiping his hands on his jeans taking a deep breath in and exhaling somewhat loudly, his attention turning to Kevin who is obviously holding himself awake by a string.
Noah's eyes soften as he glances down at Kevin's fingers which are nervously moving around, waiting for an answer. Noah's mind is racing slightly, he hasn't been in a real relationship since high-school and it didn't end well for him, he also has never dated a guy before but has never been opposed to the idea, though he's always kept those thoughts in the far back of his mind where he never let them slip through as bad as they wanted to, it just never happened.
Noah goes to speak, his mouth opening slightly before closing back again and Kevin's eyes dart away looking almost ashamed for even mentioning the affection he has for his roommate. Noah doesn't know what to do so his arms dart for Kevin's hands taking them in his softly to make them stop fidgeting. Kevin looks back up at Noah his eyes a lovely dark brown, Noah taking it in for a moment decides to open his mouth once more, this time speaking, "I wouldn't mind trying this out Kev..." his voice is soft and reassuring and Kevin lets out a breath he had been holding in for quite some time now, a small smile spreads across his lips as he kicks his legs a bit excitedly.
A blush appears on Noah's face as he stares down at his excited roommate, "uh so...how about when you feel better we could go get ice cream or something?" Noah says nervously as he rubs the back of his neck. Kevin gently takes Noah's hands and nods in agreement. "that would be nice, thankyou".
