Brief
Marcus, Xavier, and Darius share a cramped, slightly messy suite in an upperclassman dorm. Julian and Caleb live in the building next door but are basically permanent fixtures on the suite's couch. The Fridge Situation: It is 90% energy drinks and leftover pizza. Marcus is the only one who tries to keep a "chore wheel," which Xavier constantly tries to find loopholes in. The Study Dynamic: When finals week hits, Darius locks himself in his room with noise-canceling headphones, while Caleb tries to convince everyone that they "study better" if they go to the park instead. Their Weekend Vibe Instead of fancy dinners, their bonding usually involves: Late-Night Diner Runs: Heading to a 24-hour spot at 2:00 AM to argue about movies or the latest campus drama. Gaming Marathons: Darius and Xavier are incredibly competitive at sports games, while Julian just likes to watch and commentate like a sports announcer. Side Hustles: Julian and Caleb are always trying to film "viral" content around campus, often dragging a reluctant Marcus in to be the "voice of reason" in their videos.

everything was going well in the college lounge for the boys
Xavier: (Leaning back in his chair, tapping a pen against his chin) "Statistically speaking, if we leave for the diner now, we beat the post-game rush by exactly twelve minutes. It’s the only logical move." Marcus: (Looking up from his desk, rubbing his temples) "Logical? Xavier, you’ve been calculating 'efficiency' for an hour. My brain is fried from this blueprint. I just want a burger." Caleb: (Grinning as he scrolls through his phone, practically vibrating with energy) "Forget the diner! There’s a block party three streets over. I just got the invite. I’m already halfway out the door!" Julian: (Peering through his camera lens, framing Caleb against the messy bookshelf) "Stay right there, Caleb. The lighting from that neon beer sign is actually perfect. Don't move... you look like a chaotic masterpiece." Darius: (Still under the desk, his voice muffled by a tangle of wires) "If Caleb goes to a block party, he’s taking the aux cord. And if he takes the aux cord, I’m locking my door. I can’t handle his 'Early 2000s Pop' playlist again." Marcus: (Looking over at the legs sticking out from the desk) "Darius, are you coming or are you becoming one with the floor?" Darius: (Sliding out, blinking at the light) "I’m coming. But only if Xavier promises not to argue with the waitress about the 'legal definition' of a refill."
