+ extra of Ren and Cam being silly

I think neither of them really realized when it first clicked. There was this natural connection between that simply made them spend more time alone, let it be because there was a Co-Op they wanted to try together or help for their math classes they just... naturally ended up being attracted to each other.

To me the first to realize would be Percy, but he would probably try to ignore it since he's not over his last break up and knows that Deja deserves someone with their shit together. He's a lot more distracted as he realizes more and more how much he likes Deja's company and it does come off as him avoiding her because he swears if he just distant himself everything will go back to normal and he won't have to change the status quo of their friend group.

I think Deja might realize it way later and by that point the lines between friendship and romance have already been blurred. She's very much confused about it because it's...well...Percy of all people. I don't think she'd understand what she sees in him at first, especially if MC was bothered by his flirting when they first met but she can't help but be pulled by him and wanting to be around him.

A very cute scenario would be when they're both studying for math and their usual banter starts happening, they play around a little bit and go back to their studies and Deja just... realizes she's been starring at Percy a lot and she's taken in his entire profile and how serious he looks in that moment and why does she like it? Why does she like staring at him so much? Slight panic might settle in but she'd keep her cool and if Percy notices that something is off and asks, she just lies saying that is nothing while her mind still tries to figure out why him of all people?
