The thought that Sebastian was alone in his dorm had been nagging at Matt. He finally gave into it, leaving his dorm and knocking on the one next door.

"It's unlocked," he heard Sebastian say.

He opened the door, walking inside and shutting it behind him. "Always polite to knock."

"Or you didn't know it was unlocked," Sebastian teased. Then he noticed something. "You're wearing my sweatshirt."

Matt nestled up against his side. "Well, now you have a boyfriend to be together with."
