The boys entered the room laughing silently not to get caught, they were coming back from a dead poet society meeting, and Meeks just fell in the way back to their bedrooms making everyone laugh. They both take off their coat and Todd jumped in his bed exhausted. Neil stayed motionless for a few seconds before going towards his bed, he grabbed it and pulled it until it stuck to Todd's, not without difficulty. The blond looked at him with an amused air without understanding what was happening.

T- Neil!? What are you doing!

N- I missed you!

T- We are litteraly one meters away, and we've spend the day together!

Neil just looked at him with a smile as answear before jumping himself on his bed. Todd laugh grabbed Neil's mattress to stuck it well to his. They put on their pajamas, brushed their teeth and jumped back in there bed, looking at each other. Todd didn't curl up into a ball. They both turned on they're back the most near to each other possible, they're hands just touching, both looking at the ceiling.

T- You were great tonight.

N- I've only read one poem.

Neil turned his head trying to hide his smile.
