Imagine:

It’s a hot day, especially after being cooped up in the dorm room all afternoon, but Seaborne had insisted that his room mate and best friend, Roach, go out for the day without him. He had stuff to do anyway, some college work to finish some cleaning to be done.. Roach wasn’t sure why Seaborne was so insistent on staying in while he went out, but after a little bit of Seaborne insisting he decided it’d be nice to get a breath of fresh air.

Some Time had passed and Seaborne heard someone walking towards the room. After a long time of knowing someone you learn what their footsteps sound like, you can hear how heavy their steps are, how fast or slow they are- there’s a lot of personality in foot steps.
Fast paced and a little heavy on the footing, sometimes an occasional skip to the step, the undeniable sound of Roach strolling through the hall. Seaborne smiled and left the room to greet his friend, wearing just his binder and jeans to help deal with the warmth- he wasn’t one to enjoy walking around without a shirt on but this was only Roach after all.
Seaborne closed the door over behind himself to stop Roach from being able to see into their room and he cheerfully called over to his friend who proceeded to jog the rest of the short distance over to their room.
“What’s up?” he asked, “Close your eyes!” was all he was told in return.
Roach grinned down at his friend asking why, but still the only answer he got was Seaborne reaching his hands over his eyes “Because I say so man!”
“Alright buddy.” Roach replied with a chuckle, closing his eyes behind the hands over them. He felt his friend gently guide him through the door of their room and he heard him softly and quietly say “Don’t open your eyes until I say.”
Roach nodded a little and he felt excitement and curiosity bubble in his chest. He was completely clueless about what Seab was up to.

“Open your eyes” Seaborne said before releasing Roach from his hold.
The first thing Roach noticed was that the room was very dimly lit, a small lamp was the only source of light. The second thing he noticed was the reason for the dim lighting and a grin quickly grew wide on his face.
Many glowing stars decorated the walls and the ceiling, some in the arrangement of constellations and others in seemingly random patterns, but each star all carefully placed.
Roach had always been interested in outer space: how it works, different planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies, non-Earth life out there somewhere in the wide universe.
Glow in the dark stars are a small and fun decoration, but in this moment they were so much more than just a novelty. They meant Seaborne listening to Roach’s rambles, they meant Seaborne being interested in Roach’s interests, they meant Seaborne taking the time to buy glow in the dark stars and to carefully decorate the room. They meant he wanted to do something to make his best friend smile, they meant he thought of Roach and loved him .

“Charles?”
“Yeah?”
“Thanks, brother.”
