“Maybe not, maybe not.” Wilhelm chuckled. He pushed around the fork on his empty plate, moving crumbs around.

He had already finished eating, and stretched, sighing softly.

“I think I might go ahead and head back to the dorm, I need to figure out what work I actually have to do.” Wilhelm pushed himself back from the table.

Connor nodded. "Alright. Ah'll join yeh sooner 'r later." he replied with a shrug.

“Sure.” Wilhelm gave him a wave, going to put his dishes away and go back to their room.

Connor waved back. He stretched. He wanted to go outside, just for a little bit. So he took care of his plate and stepped outside.

The second Wilhelm got into the dorm, he sat down and got straight to work. It was history, like he said, and luckily he was mostly answering questions more than anything else.

Connor went outside for a bit. Sure, the weather wasn't great, but he liked being outside.

The work was a drag, as was expected. He was practically falling asleep with the pen in his hand, but Wilhelm managed to stay awake for a little longer.

Connor stayed out for a while, then headed to the dorm, smiling softly and humming as he walked.

By the time Connor got returned to the dorm, Wilhelm was blinking sleep out of his eyes, his work almost finished. Only a question or two left, thankfully.

Connor came in quietly, sitting down and getting his homework out to work on it.

As soon as his work was done, Wilhelm dropped his books onto his bedside table and laid down.

Connor kept working, sighing softly as he did.

Wilhelm sat up with a yawn, nearly forgetting to put on his pajamas and actually get ready for bed.

Connor was still working, biting his lip a little bit. He only had a few more problems to do and then he would be done.

It seemed like Wilhelm had gotten distracted by something, zoning out for a second before finally snapping back into reality and pulling on his pajama shirt.

Connor finished up after a bit, and put his homework away. He changed into his own pajamas. The bruising on his ribs was just a mottled yellow color now, nearly completely healed.

Wilhelm dropped back onto his bed, rubbing his eyes. “‘Night.”

"Hm? Oh. G' night." he replied, sitting down on his bed and letting out a breath.

Wilhelm tugged a blanket over himself, letting out a small sigh of relief that he could finally get to sleep.

Connor yawned softly, and lay down in his own bed, turning off the light.

(i don’t mind doing it!)

Wilhelm woke with a start at the cry of his alarm clock- something he had never gotten used to, and probably never would. Damn thing. He crawled out of bed at a snail’s pace, stretching as he glanced out the window at the morning sky outside.
