Section 1: Good Mornings

            Hyungwon blinks blurrily at the mirror before him. Each blink makes it harder for him to keep his eyes open. His toothbrush in hand is moving at a snail's pace as he runs it up and down his teeth. He swears he's going to fall back asleep while standing.

            Someone knocks on the bathroom door but Hyungwon only grunts in response to it. The door wasn't locked anyways. The door knob rattles for a second and then turns allowing a ruffled Minhyuk to squeeze into the already tight space.

            The older smiles, "Good morning." And reaches around Hyungwon to grab his own toothbrush. Minhyuk bumps his hip against Hyungwon's to have the other move over.

            Hyungwon releases a tired laugh, marginally more awake now in Minhyuk's presence. He doesn't budge much though only giving the other one more step of space. He nudges Minhyuk back with his shoulder.

            "Morning."

            "You forgot the 'good' before the morning"

            Hyungwon rolls his eyes and rinses his mouth. "There's nothing 'good' about getting up at the crack of dawn."

            "There's me~" Minhyuk teases as he holds out a towel for Hyungwon.

            "Eh," Hyungwon shrugs nonchalantly, feigning disinterest before splashing his face with some water.

            The taller reaches for the towel after lifting his head from the sink but Minhyuk decides to shove it down his shirt instead as retaliation.

Section 2: Eating

            Minhyuk blows carefully on the steaming noodles before moving his chopsticks towards Hyungwon's mouth. The younger takes a bite of the food without question.

            "How's it taste?"

            "I think I just burned my tongue."

            Minhyuk narrows his eyes at Hyungwon. That wasn't the answer he was looking for considering he took the time to cook for the both of them. "You cool off your own noodles next time and feed yourself while you're at it."

            "I'm kidding. Plus if I cook we're both going to die." Hyungwon says as he turns the flame off while on his way to the fridge for a water bottle, "The noodles are a bit salty though."

            "What?" Minhyuk takes a bite to check for himself. He makes a face at the taste. "I didn't even add salt…"

            "And you said you could cook better than me," Hyungwon retorts while still rummaging through the fridge.

            "Shut up. You're still the worst cook in the dorm."

Section 3: Good Nights

            Hyungwon idly wonders how Minhyuk could radiate so much heat and still be okay with such a thick blanket over him.

            It's honestly sweltering under all this and Hyungwon wouldn't mind if it was winter but the late spring weather is too high to be tolerant of another human body snuggled up to his side.

            Slowly, carefully, Hyungwon tries his best to extricate himself from Minhyuk's clingy arms without waking the older. As expected it doesn’t go accordingly. Minhyuk stirs awake only to readjust his hold on Hyungwon so that it's tighter than before preventing all and any means of escape.

            "Where are you going?" mumbles Minhyuk as he throws an arm across Hyungwon's waist and tucks his head on the younger's collarbones, snuggling even closer much to Hyungwon's dismay.

            "It's too hot to sleep like this," complains Hyungwon while attempting-and failing- to unglue Minhyuk's hand from his hip. The older has some serious clammy hands. It's uncomfortable.

            Minhyuk shakes his head, "Too cold without you."

            "It's like a hundred degrees out," Hyungwon points out irritably but his words are lost to the drowsy Minhyuk on top of him.

            The older smiles sweetly, eyes already closed with the knowledge that he's already won the argument when Hyungwon only verbally complains and takes no real action to move away again. "Good night."
