~one week later~

~Thomas POV~

I lie on the couch, staring at the ceiling with my hands under my head as if I'm star gazing. A million thoughts run through my head, mojority of them are of Alex. Images of his face and smile flit through my mind like a movie.

As my mind keeps doing this, I remember what James said a few days ago. Maybe I had really fallen for him. Maybe I had just been blind these past few years. Or maybe this was just a boyish crush that would last for a day or two.

But this felt like so much more—it was way different that just a crush.

Maybe, just maybe, I had truly fallen for the smol, stubborn Carribbean that I shared a dorm with. Maybe James was right for once.

Suddenly, the door to my dorm opened, causing my to jump slightly. The door slammed shut and I lifted my head to see a pissed-off Alex standing in the door way.

"What happened?" I said, immediately recognizing that he was mad as hell. It was an expression that I saw on him often. I sat up in the couch and patted the space next to me, an invitation for him to sit.

He stomped over and threw himself onto the couch, groaning into a pillow in the process.

"Adams was being an ass," he mumbled into the pillow.

"Oh?" I said.

"He's blind and ignorant and a dick!" Alex said thowing his hands up into the air and letting them land in his lap.

I scoffed at his actions, finding them more fit for a 5 year old throwing a tantrum. But maybe this was what I found cute about him. How childish he could be. It could be annoyingly funny.

"Alright, how bout we just watch some ovie or something? You need to calm down," I say, realizing how strange it is for me to say that when just a week ago I would hoave ignored him.

"Why do you care all of a sudden?" He mumbled, staring straight ahead, the look on his face showed that he wanted to strangle Adams.

"You're my roommate. It gets annoying when you're sulking in the dorm," I respond, trying to cover up the true feelings behind my actions.

"Mhm..."

~Time skip to when they finish watching the thing~

I crack my eyes open just as I realize that the ending credits are rolling. A yawn escapes me and I stretch my arms.

I try to stretch my legs but then I realize that theres something heavy on my legs, preventing it from moving.

"You slept for the whole thing," I hear Alex's voice say.

I open my eues fully and realize that Alex is the heavy weight on my legs. His back is keaning on my chest. I realize the position we're in and I blush, thankful for the darkness of the room.

"Not the whole thing. I was awake for like the first 40 minutes," I mention, yawning again.

"Ugh, I'm gonna go sleep now," He mumbled, rubbing his face and running his hands through his hair. He gets up and begins to stumble tpwards his room.

"Yeah, same," I whisper back, not sure if he heard me or not.

I make my way towards my room and collapse onto my bed. As I oull the covers over my body, I replay what happened a few hours ago.

Suddenly, I remember the whole reason why I became "friends" with alex again. So that I could find evidence he was a hybrid.

He was so close to me. He was practically sittinf on my lap. I could have pulled his beanie or something. Groaning aoftly at the opportunity wasted, I began to fall asleep, thinking about him.
