~•~
•Axel's POV•

Being the good roommates we are, me and Quinn wanted to at least help a bit. We followed Faris to the baby room and peeked inside, wanting to know how he was doing.

Faris sat calmly on the rocking chair, cradling the robotic baby with a bottle held carefully to it's mouth. I have to admit, it was adorable.

For once, Faris' expression seemed soft. His glasses were still on, which made it look a bit cold, but it was still heartwarming. I pulled out my phone and quickly snapped a picture, making sure there was no flash.

After a while the baby seemed content, and probably didn't need burped, so Faris places it back in the crib. Surprisingly, he picked up his phone and put on soft music, sitting next to the crib.

Moments later, the robot had fallen 'asleep'. Faris stood up and turned off the music before sitting down in the rocking chair again. He seemed to be looking for something, before putting the phone to his ear.

"Sorry, I was in class when you called. We started the baby project." Faris smiled gently.

"—————-?"

"Yea, I'm fine. A simple baby isn't going to bring back memories." Faris rolled his eyes.

"————-"

"Tell him I'll visit soon, I know he doesn't like being far from me for too long." He looked down.

"————————?"

"They know, Reona doesn't. I trust her, but this is just something you don't openly tell people."

'Isn't Reona his best friend? Now that I think about it, what doesn't that girl know about him?' I thought.

"I know, I know. I'm not ashamed, I'm happy about him. He brought light when...that...happened." Faris looked into the small window at the end of the room.

"—————"

"See ya soon, mama. Tell mom and Reed there's nothing to worry about, I won't let it happen again."

He brought the phone away from his ear and hung up, Eyes still fixated on the window. A sigh escaped his lips before he turned forward and got up.

In one swift motion, me and Quinn pretended to just be walking towards the baby room. In a few seconds, Faris walked out with his usual glare and unreadable expression.

"Hey Faris, wanna go see if our friends wanna hang out?" Quinn asked.

"Sure, why not." Faris shrugged.

Also Quinn's POV

We ended up going over to mine and Axel's friend's dorm. He said he got paired up with his girlfriend, so it'll be fine to come over.

Axel opened the door and we all walked in, leaving our shoes on the mat. I looked around, noticing it looked exactly like our own dorm room. A sudden screech brought me back to reality.

"REONA GET THE FUCK OFF!!" Faris yelled.

I turned around, Reona seemed to have tackle hugged him, and they were now on the ground.

"Nahhh! You've gotta be more open, Faris! Not my fault you're a cinnamon bun in disguise." Reona smirked.

"I am not! Now get offff! I don't need more of these idiots thinking I'm as soft as a bunny!" Faris screamed.

Reona merely shook her head vigorously.

"If you don't get off I'll expose your crush and sexuality to everyone in this room plus your crush." Faris glared at his friend.

With that said, Reona leapt up and away from him. He stood up, letting out a long sigh.

"Clingy much?" Faris snickered.

"Says the one who's obsessed over celebrities and anime characters to me, multiple times." Reona grinned.

"Ok, to be fair, I have no regrets because they were all hot." Faris looked away from all of us.

It was silent for a bit before Axel cut in, clearly amused by the conversation beforehand.

"Now that that's over with, how about we watch a movie?" Axel asked, stifling a laugh.

We all agreed, and were soon sat on the couch with our respective significant others or friends.

Time Skip to half way through the movie

Currently, I was lying against Axel's chest, my body being between his legs which faced the other side of the couch. I turned my attention to Faris and Reona, thankful they weren't acting like a couple with each other. Faris was staring at his lap, hair shadowing what could be seen of his eyes.

A sudden scream from the movie seemed to alert him, and he froze. Looking up, terror clouded his features. Reona turned, probably noticing her friend's distress.

"You okay, Faris?" She asked.

He turned to her and grabbed her wrist, walking away to the hallway. Just this time, I decided to give them some privacy.

A few minutes later, they came back and sat down as if nothing happened. Something odd, however, was that Reona seemed to sit a lot closer to her friend. Faris didn't seem to mind, instead smiling at his friend. From my angle, it seemed to be more of a 'thank you' smile.

I didn't want to pry, but I was starting to get jealous. It seemed Axel was feeling the same, as his grip on my waist tightened ever so slightly.

After the movie, I asked Reona if we could have a private 'chat'. She agreed, and both of us walked into the hallway, where Axel was waiting.

•Reona's POV•

I wasn't stupid, I knew they were jealous of how close me and Faris were. I knew they liked him, but I also knew he didn't want me to tell anyone, unless my life depended on it.

"We wanted to ask you a few things..about you and Faris." Quinn said.

"Shoot, I'll tell you what I can." I smiled.

"Are you two dating?" Axel asked.

I paused, before stifling a laugh.

"I'm lesbian, sorry."

"Why were you two so close when you came back from that talk?" Quinn inquired through gritted teeth.

"I can't tell you that." I simply stated.

"Why not?" Axel growled.

"Faris said not to."

"Well, we're living with him for the whole semester, can't we know?"

I sighed.

"He'll tell you when he completely trusts you. He's not the kind of person that will easily give his entire being to someone quickly, not anymore at least. Give him time, he'll tell you when the time is right for him." I explained.

I turned and tread out into the main room, wishing everyone a good night. When I closed the door, I felt a chuckle exit my mouth. 'Lucky you, Faris. The two hotties of school like you. I just hope they have enough patience for you.' I thought.

•Axel's POV•

As soon as we returned to the dorm, we were met with a...sleeping problem.

There was three of us, and one bedroom.

"Oh, you two can take the main bedroom, there's an extra one for visitors and such." Faris chimed in.

And there goes all my hopes and dreams. I suddenly got an idea.

"Ok, but what do we do when there are actually visitors? The couch isn't an option either, since it can become
