Prism Of Lovers

No one's Pov:
"Oh god! You're rereading Call Me By Your Name for the hundredth time!" said Violet. Morris couldn't help but lose his grip on the book he was holding. "For fuck's sakes can you knock for once?!"
"Well you should have thought about that twice before giving me extra keys" she said seating herself on a bean bag in the dorm room. Morris shook his head sighing. Loud enough to make Violet roll her eyes.

"I heard you are getting a roommate finally?" her statement came off more like a question. "I'm kinda nervous. Like..what if it turns out to be a guy?"
"Honey, this is a dorm. Obviously it's gonna be a guy. And I've told you this earlier. Don't run away from your reality. Face it." said Violet. "Anyways I'm here to tell you that David and Vonnie want us to hang out this weekend. Let's go to that new doughnut place that opened a few blocks away." she continued, only to get a simple sure as a reply. "What's on your mind baby boy?"

"First of all. I hate that name. Secondly mom called. She asked if I'm planning to get married after graduation." he said expressionlessly. "What the-- well don't worry Morris. We got your back. We'll figure something out. Also you really need a fresh kick start. Stop confining yourself just to read the books you already have. I'm taking you to bookstore tonight. Let's get a new bunch" Violet grinned at her clueless friend. She couldn't help but worry about his health since he spent most of his day indoor. It was clear that he was anxious about his new roommate.
"You just won't let me be. Won't you?" Morris sighed for the millionth time again, recieving a too excited 'nope' in return. He gave a tiny smile to the lazy human laying on the bean bag in front of him.

It was a calm afternoon that Violet disrupted for him. Not like he minded. She was used to crashing at his room frequently. He found it quite amusing how she would calm the storms in his brain in a few seconds.
The dorm room seemed a little too calm. Morris was glancing at Violet over his book. He couldn't help but notice that she was drowned in her own thoughts. So much that she started talking to herself. A habit of hers that her friends found endearing. Morris found himself frowning at Violet's behaviour. She was tapping her foot on the oak flooring loud enough to wake someone up from the floor beneath. It was certain that she was overthinking.
"You okay Hun?"
The sounds of her foot tapping stopped in a second. "Oh yeah. Just thinking." she said. "I'm kinda nervous about your mom's call right now. I just don't want you to give up on the thing you should be proud of." she continued. Morris gave her a sad smile. It was clear what she was hinting at. If it's not clear yet, Morris was homosexual. Clearly not something he was proud of. But unaware of the fact that it would change in coming days.

The afternoon passed. In the evening Violet, Morris and Veronica went on a shopping spree. This just meant that Violet would end up buying edgy accessories and books, Morris would definitely get a few 'restricted and forbidden novels for himself' and Veronica would end up returning with a bunch of new outfits. Just like that their recreational visit ended in a few hours. The night rolled around silently as the three were found walking back to the dorms. It was time for their dinner which was one of the most awaited time for the four friends. They loved having endless conversations with an amazingly classy dinner.

The trio joined David for their dinner at the cafeteria on the ground floor of the dorm building. Starlight High was specifically famous for its good food quality in the student café. Their menu changed everyday and the cuisines changed every week. It was a treat to all the students for sure. Hence the four friends couldn't find any other better place to eat.

"I'm starting to like pastas for some reason." Veronica said out of nowhere.
"You didn't like them at first?" Morris questioned looking quite stunned how the latter was not a fan of pasta. "Yeah she didn't. Never let me cook that only thing for her. Despite the fact that I like pasta so much." Violet scoffed at Veronica receiving a scowl. "In my defense pasta is a not so satisfying meal. You feel full in just a few bites and that doesn't even pay much to your cravings." said Veronica, now taking a bite of her Carbonara quite questionably. "We're seriously having a conversation on pasta? Guys there's a lot to talk about." David spoke. He was the kind who didn't like irrelevant talks. But didn't discourage his friends when they had those silly chats. "Well sorry honey..but that's how living with us feels like." Morris said. "Honey? Honey?!" David exclaimed. "Mor, did Violet like... hypnotize you? No offence but that was gay." he continued. "Well...I am gay!" Morris defended. The group bursted in a fit of laughters, becoming a reason why everyone else wanted to be a part of the fun. The four always sat at the far end of the café. They weren't as famous as some unnecessarily famous beings like Toby Williams, Hailey Dew or Drew Arrons. For some reason, the four friends loved to stay away from the limelight making it easier for them to spend the time all by themselves.

Dinner went well and so ended another day in Starlight High. Everyone returned to their dorms.
Morris dropped himself on the comfortable bed, only to hear a knock on the door. He wondered who it was. He could see a taller male through the peephole. He had a big travelling sack on his bag and sling bag around his waist. He was facing the corridor waiting for someone to open the door. Morris opened the door only to come across a really handsome young man. He was a few inches taller making the short male look up to him. He wasn't a buffed male. Rather looked toned and decent. His Cedar and Musk Cologne hitting Morris way more that he expected it to.

"Morris Norton, right?" the question knocking Morris out of his trance. He nodded in return finding it difficult to bring out any verbal response. "I'm Urban Miller. Just transferred here. Nice to meet you." the taller male kept a gentle grin on his face, trying to hide a bubbling feeling in his heart that he believed was mutual.
"N-nice to meet you too, Urban." Morris breathed out. Urban placed his bags on the unused bed and removed his shirt to throw in the hamper for laundry. Morris gaped at the taller boy's toned chest and faded abs. "I'll get a shower now. If you'll excuse me." Urban muttered smiling at Morris not catching the meaning behind the stares that Morris gave him. "Sure." that's all Morris could say. He dropped himself on his bed and curled up to a side. He couldn't help but sigh and think of the taller male who was currently in the shower. He knew that the young man had captured his thoughts.

'Oh boy--' that was the only thing Morris could think at that very moment. Knowing really well it was gonna be hard living with the new roommate. He shut his eyes off, drifting to a sound sleep.
