The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the dorm room. Michael's journal was open. His roommate, Alex, froze mid-stride by the door. Michael felt a peculiar warmth spread through him.

He cleared his throat, pushing the notebook aside. "Hey, what's up?" he asked, his voice softer than usual. Alex shifted his weight from foot to foot.

"Nothing. Just... uh...thought I'd grab some of my stuff." Michael just nodded, a smile playing on his lips. "Want to catch a movie tonight? Your choice." Alex's eyes widened, a flicker of something close to happiness crossing his face.
