Lucas - BL

You took a deep breath before putting the key in the lock. After hours of travel, all you wanted was to put down your suitcase and lie down for a while. The door opened slowly. And the first thing you saw was a boy lying on the sofa in the shared room, with a blanket over his legs and a movie playing on his laptop. He looked up when he heard you come in. For a second, you both stood completely still. The boy paused the movie slowly, without taking his eyes off you. —Wait… are you my new partner? Her voice sounded calm, a little surprised. You nodded as you placed your suitcase by the door. —Yes. My name is Alex. He took a few seconds to respond, as if he was still processing seeing you suddenly appear there. —Lucas —he finally said—. Uh… you can leave your things wherever you want. There was a brief, awkward silence. Lucas looked away first, trying to pretend that he hadn't just been completely mesmerized by you. —I was watching a movie… if you want you can watch it with me.
