Chapter Text
Brandon made his way to the joint living area to the dorm quad he and his squad shared and dropped bonelessly onto the sofa. It had been a week of sheer hell - mid season exams were fast approaching so almost every class was doing some sort of review and his brain felt fried. His dark eyes drifted about the room, trying to find something to help him relax. A wry smile crossed his features as he spotted the other figure in the room. "Yo, Helia," he said.
Helia raised his head from his sketchbook and offered a quiet smile to Brandon before returning to his sketch.
Brandon debated on whether or not he really wanted to move and decided that he better. "Can I see your art when you're done with it?" he asked, curious about the latest subject.
"If you want," Helia said slowly. It wasn't one of his best so he wasn't sure he wanted to share it. It was just a rough sketch of designs for that party the Alfea girls were going to host before it gave way to sketching out little bits of day to day life in the dorm.
Brandon made his way over and peered over Helia's shoulder. "I do like that one," he said, gesturing to the napping couple in the corner of the page.
Helia gave him a small smile. "I'm tempted to give it to them as an anniversary present. Thoughts?"
Brandon nodded. "Maybe add some watercolors to give it some oomph?"
Helia tilted his head slightly. "I was thinking about it," he admitted. "Just wasn't sure."
