He’d found the journal lying open on his desk. Liam felt a strange warmth bloom in his chest as he saw his roommate, Mark, fiddling with a pen, avoiding his gaze. The pages were scattered with his own handwriting, recounting details of the date he’d been on the night before. His heart did a little flip.

"I...uh... I was just looking for a specific pen," Mark stammered, his voice tight. Liam, however, only gestured toward the shared desk.

"No worries. Here, want to share some pizza tonight? My treat." He grinned, a goofy, genuine expression. Mark's shoulders visibly relaxed, and a small smile touched his lips.
