   The fact that Claude and Lorenz shared a wall had once infuriated them, but nowadays, the close proximity was more than welcome. There was rarely a chance to catch Claude alone between their own busy schedule and the crowds of class and the dining hall.

   This meant the only real time they had to candidly speak with him was after everyone else had retired to their rooms, after the candle clock on their dresser had been worn down to the last notch and the first dregs of ill-timed sleep pulled at them.

   Preemptively dressed down for bed, they snuck out the door to their own room (as if anyone actually cared about curfew at this point) and strode the three yards or so it took to reach Claude’s door, knocking thrice.

   “Claude,” they spoke softly, “it’s Lorrie.”

The knock on his door comes as no surprise- the walls are thin enough for him to hear Lorenz get out of their room and head over, and the sound of their footsteps is an almost familiar sound by now. He sets his book down before Lorenz even knocks, swinging his legs over the side of his bed.

“One sec.”

He’s quick to unlock the door, pulling it open with a small grin on his face.

“Hey, Lorrie. C’mon in.”

His floor’s just as cluttered as it usually is, but there’s at least enough space for them to manuever through without kicking any books. Claude goes ahead and picks a few journals off the ground for the sake of it anyways.
