783. Chapter 783

“I don’t wannaaaaaaa,” Adrian sprawled himself out on Maggie’s twin dorm bed, limbs all akimbo, barely fitting on top of her Spiderman comforter.

“I have cookies?” Maggie held out a box as a please-for-the-love-of-Rao-can-we-get-our-homework-done offering. Adrian promptly spilled out of the bed in an attempt to approach the chocolate chips with the proper amount of both reverence and urgency.

“I wanna,” he murmured, defeated, through a mouthful of not-too-soft, not-too-crunchy goodness.

“Thank god,” Maggie rolled her eyes affectionately. “I can’t handle three of you on my hands, all not wanna-ing to do our orgo labs.”

“Wouldn’t it be not wanting?” Winn looked up from his notes, grabbing a cookie from the box and looking up - backwards, sort of - at Maggie with a deeply mischievous grin on his face.

He was laying on his back on her dorm room floor, his Pac-man socked feet resting up on her wall. Alex swatted at his legs as they walked into the room.

“You just disagree with my girlfriend, Schott?” they asked, and he grabbed for another cookie as he gulped.

“No?”

Alex grinned before reaching down and touseling Winn’s hair. He practically preened under the attention, still reveling in how short it was, how rubbing his head now meant massaging his scalp through his soft spikes, not making knots in his hair.

“That’s what I thought,” Alex grinned before pulling Maggie in for a long, open-mouthed kiss.

Maggie sank into it enthusiastically, Winn squeezed his eyes shut and hummed very loudly, and Adrian took the opportunity to cram three more cookies into his mouth.

“Save some for the fishes,” Winn whisper-shouted, and Adrian tossed him the box.

“Didn’t know you were a fishes, Winn, but whatever works for you.”

The boys laugh as Alex and Maggie nearly topple each other down onto Maggie’s bed.

“We are literally still here, in your room,” Winn reminded them, and Maggie stood as tall as she could, adjusting her shirt and the lip gloss stains Alex had left on her mouth.

“My room, my rules,” she smirked, and Alex nodded, pleased.

“Her room, her rules,” they agreed.

“So we’re gonna actually study, or we’re gonna watch you two make out, or -”

“Honestly, probs a bit of both,” Alex shrugged, their arm around Maggie’s shoulder as they dragged their textbook into their lap.

“It’s gonna be a long night,” Adrian murmured to Winn, but everyone knew that no one minded.

Because this room, these people? Were home.
