Kyungsoo is on his bed finishing up reading for Ancient Runes. His eyes keep drooping, but if he stops now, he won’t want to return to it later. The class is interesting, but the readings can be quite a bit of a snore.

His roommate barges inside in a blur of robes. Sehun’s hair is parted at the middle and sweeps to the sides like an open book with water-damaged pages. “Hyung,” he says as greeting, then opens his trunk and starts throwing things out all over. Sehun is always making a mess.

Kyungsoo marks his place in the book and sits up. “What are you doing?”

“Looking for my secret stash,” Sehun says.

Kyungsoo in a breath.

Sehun glances at him, eyes bored. “Of galleons.”

“Sorry.”

Sehun continues searching. “I made you a promise, didn’t I?”

“Yes. Yes, you did.” Kyungsoo and Sehun have been roommates for four years now. Sehun has been clear-headed for two, and he’s learned to control his visions. Kyungsoo still worries about him though.

“What!”

“Tao has one. She’s really cool. I want one.” Sehun looks at Kyungsoo, eyes worried. “Unless you’re afraid of snakes? I won’t get one if you are.”

It’s touching that Sehun is asking. His roommate might act detached at times, but it was with the little things like this that Sehun showed he care
