Euphoria

Whoopsie

The rest of that week after the announcement of the final assignments was spent planning how you and Shinsou would pull yours off, using any spare time you had to do so. From after classes to random midnight conversations when both of you happened to wake up from sleep. Creating the story, building scene concepts, picking camera settings.

Everything and anything about your project was discussed.

Your goal was to get it done as soon as possible, so you could spend as much time needed for the more boring editing bits.

Though since it was still the first month of school, you weren't necessarily in a rush. Even then, you had an imaginary schedule in mind, you set a loose goal to finish filming everything by the start of winter break. So, about t-minus two months to finish that much. Because everyone knew assignments at the beginning of the year were way easier to finish than the second half of the year. Cause for some reason, teachers always expected more from you over time.

You'd get that scholarship, right after you were done with your current work.

You were down at the library, studying for a brief 'cinema through the ages' quiz you had tomorrow. Around 7 p.m. you worked your way back to your dorm. At the time, you had not realized your dorm-mate texted you. Your phone was on silent so it wouldn't distract you while studying. That's always what you had to do, keep it on silent and out of arm's reach.

You got to the door to your dorm and grabbed the nob, thinking maybe it would be open since you expected Shinsou to be there, but notice it was locked like normal. You unlocked it and let yourself in, what your eyes landed on in your room after looking up from the handle however, was not normal.

It caused heat to rise to your face immediately and made your mind become shell shocked.

Shinsou was standing in front of his dresser wearing nothing but two towels. One larger one, loosely draped around his waist and held up by one hand, while a smaller one was drying his head with the other hand. Your jaw dropped and eyes went wide at the sight, and you could only guess that your face was practically a tomato. You didn't even let out a noise, too engulfed in the odd moment to think clearly. That is until he finally said something when he noticed you.

"What happened to 'don't come to the dorm in the next fifteen minutes? I said I needed some privacy for a bit." He didn't seem mad, thank god, but then the words he said really processed. You had no idea what he was talking about.

"H-huh? What are you talking about, you never told me to not come back." That was when the tall boy pointed to his phone, as if to tell you to check yours.

Crap, no...

You grabbed yours out of your bag and opened your notification tab. Lone behold, a message from him was the top notification.

"Shit, I'm sorry Shinsou! I was studying and didn't look at my phone, 'cause when I do I get distracted, and I didn't want to do that be-" He cut you off before you could finish your rambled on apology.

"It's fine! Calm down will you, or are you gonna keep talking for the next ten minutes. How we can fix this, can you just leave and get us some food real quick, that will give me enough time to get dressed and shit okay? No harm no foul." At the mention of clothes you were brought back even more to reality. You had been so focused on not abiding by Shinsou's simple wish, that you kind of blocked out the fact he was almost naked.

That realization caused your eyes to wander from his face to the rest of his body on full display. In reality this interaction was only a moment, but in your imagination it felt like slow motion. You knew he had a well toned body, but this only confirmed it. He looked strong, with abs that fit his sculpt perfectly. His arms were larger than you realized too, seemingly fit for some Ancient european statue or something. A peek of his v-line was visible, your mind tried to wander to places unseen.

It succeeded in its goal.

Even then, you could care less about his physical appearance, frankly it was just a plus. Because as you looked back at the face in front of you, all that could go through your mind was how you got so lucky to have met such a genuine person...with a hot body...of course.

"Okay. I'll go get some food, but I swear to god if I come back and I see any more than I have already, I will be forced to bleach my eyes out. That doesn't sound very appealing for either of us, so no funny business." Of course that was meant as a light hearted kind of joke, but to not give off the idea that you liked seeing his body so much, you said it more for yourself to remind you to get your head out of the gutter.

You gave him a small smile before setting your study material on the floor of your room and grabbing your wallet. Walking out of the dorm taking one small last glance from over your shoulder when you left.

He is quite beautiful. Stoic and soft...God, what am I thinking...

The click of the lock sounded behind you. You tried going about the rest of the evening as if nothing really happened, even though your mind was still processing everything. Reminiscing on the engrained picture in your head.
