Wilhelm shifted so that he was moreso draped over his chair than sitting in it, legs crossed and dangling off of one arm while his back leaned against the other.

(I gtg to bed now, sorry. Good night!)

Connor started to read, absorbing Shakespeare's words.

(goodnight!)

He gnawed at his knuckle. This was required reading, but he was interested enough to keep him from falling asleep as he read.

Connor kept reading, mouthing the words to himself as he read.

Bonnie’s tiny, fast steps could be heard clicking through the halls outside. She scurried past the heavy, oaken doors and their elaborate carvings, just a fleeting background noise echoing in the library. Wilhelm’s concentration broke at the little sounds, but quickly return once they faded away.

(I gtg soon sorry)

Connor looked up for a moment, then went back to reading. His voice was still a tiny, faint whisper as he read through Hamlet.

(np, gn! sorry i’ve been responding so late!)

Wilhelm blocked out the sounds of Connor’s reading. He didn’t register that it actually was Connor, given that he didn’t look up, but it didn’t really matter anyway.

(it's okay!)

Connor honestly loved Shakespeare. Mainly because he could read between the lines and suddenly everyone was gay, but still.

Wilhelm closed his book a little more forcefully than he meant to, the sharp noise being met with an even sharper shush by the librarian. He shut his eyes in a grimace, ducking his head away from the noise slightly.

Connor shifted slightly, moving so that his knees hung over the arm and his back was pressed against the other.

Wilhelm got up, stuffing his book into his bag and leaving the library, his shoes clicking just as much as ever with every step.

Connor kept reading. He looked up when he heard Wilhelm's footsteps, and wondered where his roomate was going, but didn't speak.

He crashed onto the bed, watching sunlight pour in through the window. Dust particles drifted through the sunbeams, and Wilhelm watched them in a quiet fascination as they floated through the room.

Connor kept reading Hamlet, smiling softly. He was still curled in the chair contentedly.

Wilhelm cracked the window, allowing fresh air to rush into the dorm. He laid back down and basked in the sunlight a bit, though it barely grazed him.

Connor kept reading, though he was starting to get a bit drowsy.

The sun was riding high in the sky, though it was slowly sinking into the horizon little by little. Surprisingly enough, Wilhelm didn’t feel all that tired.

Connor sighed softly. He was definitely a night owl, and seemed to always be tired during the day. He hated it, sometimes.

Wilhelm began reading again, tired of staring at the wall blankly. Outside a few students were joking around loudly, being rather obnoxious.

After a bit, Connor got up and headed back to the dorm, carrying Hamlet under his arm.

Wilhelm kicked his shoes off, dropping them right next to his bed, never even looking up from his book until Connor came in.

Connor sat down on his bed, taking off his shoes and opening Hamlet back up to keep reading.

He would’ve said something, but Connor seemed deep in his hook and he didn’t want to distract him. Instead he just continued to read his own book.

Connor glanced over at Wilhelm for a moment, then went back to reading, sprawling out on his bed.

Wilhelm tugged his tie loose, though he left it hanging around his neck while he read.
