"Your dorm." Tom wrinkled his nose.

Brian poked the boy's nose. "You mean your spot for makeout sessions?"

Tom blushed. "We're not gonna do that anymore."

Brian smiled. "You have every right to do it. I won't get in the way, don't worry."

"Your dorm just as much as ours." Tom pointed out. "This bandage is annoying."

Brian patted Tom's cheek. "Close your eyes, I'll take it off." He grabbed the boy's sunglasses first and put them on his chest. Gently, he started undoing the bandage. "You can do whatever you guys want in the dorm, honestly. I can't keep avoiding couples until I find someone, otherwise I'll spend my entire life hiding."

"You have no confidence." Tom huffed, closing his eyes.

Brian smiled. "No one wants a little drama queen like me. Luckily I'm happy with who I am, so it doesn't matter." He finished taking the bandage off and put Tom's sunglasses on his face. "Open your eyes. Can you see?"

"Vaguely." Tom squinted. "Kinda." He wriggled his shoulders. "Oh, and I'd revise that statement. One of my mates back home was a drama queen and everyone was after him."

Brian grinned, blushing. He didn't comment. "Do you have anything for your eyes? Medication?"

"Nada. Contacts, that's about it." Tom pushed his glasses further up his nose.

"But it's going to heal gradually, right?" Brian insisted.

Tom shrugged. "I dunno." He bit his lip.

Brian climbed on the bed and wrapped his arms around Tom, hugging him.

Tom hugged him back tightly.

Tears formed in Brian's eyes. He had never been so close to anyone. "Please, don't do it again. Ever."

"I won't." Tom replied in a broken voice, leaning his head on his friend's shoulder.

Brian gently petted the boy's hair. "Thank you." He blinked, a tear falling along with a bit of makeup. He didn't want to let go. "When your sight will get better - it will get better - I'll help you sneak out with Ian. Would you like that?"

Tom laughed. "We made plans to sneak out. We will see them through."

Brian grinned and moved away, half-sitting on Tom's legs. "Now we need to figure out a way to get out of here first."

"Might not be for a while, I think I'm a longterm stay." Tom chuckled. "Hell of an entrance."

Brian sat up straight. "But everybody likes you already, and you've found your boyfriend. Don't complain!"

"How did you find me so quickly?" Tom asked suddenly, grabbing Brian's hips to make sure he didn't fall off.

"What do you mean, find you? I didn't have to search." He climbed on Tom's legs since there wasn't more room on the bed.

"No, how did you know where I was? I went looking for you, and we couldn't find you..." Tom's brow furrowed.
