for you tasfia <3

...

On the couch, Senne was spread out across it—using one armrest as a pillow and the other as a footrest. He was dressed in a pair of gray joggers and a black sweatshirt. The hood was pulled over his head with his hair barely poking out beneath him. Despite the fact that he looked like he was about to go for a run, there was a gigantic bowl on his stomach that was full of microwave popcorn. 

Sander glanced over to the television, spotting the show on the television. As soon as he spotted the yellow lightning and the red suit, he turned towards Senne, who didn’t look at him. “Really? The Flash? Again?”

Senne grabbed another handful of popcorn. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. ‘guilty pleasure from my youth’,” he said, scoffing. He dropped the popcorn in his mouth, his eyes fixated on the screen as though he was watching a brand-new, never-seen-before show—not the show that Senne routinely watched whenever he decided to procrastinate on studying. “Are you going to join me or what?”

Sander blinked at him in disbelief before letting out a sigh, “Why not?” Rather dramatically, Sander tossed his green bag and his leather jacket onto the empty loveseat. Sander moved towards the couch and Senne pulled his legs up enough for Sander to have some space to sit down. Once Sander was seated, Senne stretched his legs across his lap as Sander reached for the popcorn bowl. 

As Barry Allen raced off towards the next danger threatening Central City, Senne asked, “How’s your day been?” 

“Good,” Sander said. He reached over, grabbing a handful of popcorn from the bowl, and placed a few of them in his mouth. Once he had swallowed them down, he continued, “I did some homework in the Student Union. I attended a few classes. You know, the normal.” Sander glanced over at Senne. “What about you?”

Senne shrugged. “Didn’t really do much of anything—or at least anything produced,” he said. His eyes were fixated as the screen. “I spent most of my day practicing for my presentation for my financial class. I’m surprised Zoë didn’t get bored listening to me fuck it up so many times.” 

“How did it end up going?” 

“About as good as it could’ve,” Senne said. “At the end of the day, we’re all there simply to get a grade and listening to ten presentations per class period gets boring—no matter how many points are being counted for participation in the presentation.” Sander nodded. Even in his art classes, he had been on the receiving end of many bored gazes before. Presentations sucked, no matter the class. “But, my professor liked my presentation and I had a few extra questions about it. Zoë took me out to lunch to celebrate—apparently, she was sitting on the other side of the door listening to me.”

Sander laughed. “She’s committed.” 

A peaceful silence fell over them as the tv show progressed. Occasionally, one of their phones would buzz—Senne’s on the coffee table and Sander’s buried in the depths of his bag—but neither one of them reached for it. They let it ring a few more times until it faded out. The amount of popcorn in the bowl was dwindling rapidly. In a few minutes or two, they would have to get up and make more, but they simply let the amount of popcorn simmer down. 

As the show ended—the one-off villain locked away in the basement of Star Labs and Barry Allen safe at home with his found family—and Sander’s eyelids getting ridiculously heavy, Senne spoke up, “So, Zoë said something interesting at lunch this afternoon.”

“Hmm?” Sander asked, leaning back against the couch.
