"Okay, go down the list again. What are we missing?" Namjoon asks and Malia reads out the things that have yet to be crossed off.

"Brownies, milk, and your protein powder."

"We already got your brownies."

"We did?" She asks as she looks in the cart. There are two boxes in there. She crosses them of the list. She didn't see him grab them.

"Yeah. Let's go this way. We can walk by and get the protein powder on the way to get the milk." Namjoon pushes the cart and Malia walks next to him with her hand on his arm.

"Don't you think you're big enough?" She asks suddenly, squeezing his bicep. She doesn't care if he want to get bigger, that's his choice. But she already salivates when she sees him now. Pretty soon, she'll really be drooling.

"No. I'm not even that big, Malia. You're just small. Working out makes me feel good, anyway. I want to be a little bit bigger. Not a ton of muscle but like... just enough."

Malia hums in acknowledgement at his explanation. Namjoon likes the way that he looks now, but he's getting older and still growing. He wants to bulk up little by little until he graduates.

"You'll look good either way, baby. Whatever you want to do."

They walk down the aisle and grab his protein powder before grabbing the three cartons of milk. Between brownies, breakfast and hot cocoa, they go through a lot of it. Namjoon is going to take two since he'll need them for his shakes. Malia only needs one. She can always get some from him if she runs out.

They pay for everything, splitting the cost, and head back to the campus. On the way there, Tyrell calls them about a movie night on campus. There's going to be a big projection screen for student to sit on the grass and watch whatever movie they choose to show. They don't necessarily have to pay attention. It's just something to do to get everyone together.

It's a warm night and it's a good way for their group to bond and spend time before classes hit. Half of them are juniors this year and academics are going to be their hardest thus far. They'll need all the time that they can to focus.

Malia and Namjoon agree to tag along after putting their groceries away. When they get to campus, they got to Lia's suite first then Joon's.

"I'll grab the blanket. Can you put some snacks in a bag, please?"

"Yeah, I'm doing it now." Malia says as she grabs Little Debbie cakes and chip bags. She throws a few Sunny D juices, waters and fruit cups in too. All of their friends eat a variety of things and will most likely bring snacks to share as well.

Namjoon comes out of his room, throw blanket in hand along with his keys, phone and a portable charger.

"You ready?"

"Yeah." She holds her free hand out for him to take as they walk. He intertwines their fingers and leads the way to the field. Their walk across campus is peaceful.

"Are you excited about dance this year with the new girls? I know y'all lost like seven dancers."

Malia tilts her head as she thinks. "Mmn, I'm excited but I'm also nervous. I got captain last year but it wasn't like I had to really do any lead work because the girls knew what they doing. They'd been for years already. Now I might actually have to like... do the work."

She expresses her thoughts and concerns as her lip turns up. Namjoon laughs at her face.

"It's not going to be that bad. You're captain for a reason. I know you're not used to being in charge of people but this might be a little better than if they were the senior girls. They're freshman, they don't know what the team here is like. They could use the  guidance. Think of it as more of like big sister than a captain, you know. Maybe that'll help."
