oh oh oh!!
roommate caleb who is in the same cohort as you at the DAA and you’re studying for the DAA certification final while he seems to be chilling, and it annoys you how calm he is while you’re freaking out—so you have a mini crash out and he takes you out for fresh air so you can calm down because “you’re 1000% a better pilot than i am, you’re just not giving yourself a chance to believe that”
roommate caleb who believes in you more than he believes in himself :’)
roommate caleb who gifts you a matching bracelet with a little plane to remind you to stay calm whenever you’re up in the air, and that he’s always rooting for you (roommate caleb who also threatens to shove gideon into his locker for teasing him about his “couple bracelets”)
OMG!!! Okay Nonnie, in this scenario, you and Caleb are both in the DAA, but!
Roommate Caleb! Is pissed at Gideon not because he teases him perse, but because it's a reminder that you are not aware of the uhm, deeper meaning of the bracelet. You see him as a roommate and a rival. He does well on a test, you do well plus extra credits. He doesn't miss the way a vein almost appears on your forehead as he passes by you, nose diving in your notes and he is just in his gym clothes like it's just another Tuesday and tomorrow isn't finals.
Roommate Caleb! Randomly inviting you on walks because you are turning the pages a little too hard everytime he just breathes a little loudly than you like. You hate that you have to fly to achieve things he can just casually brisk walk to. You once called him an overly-achieving-piece-of-shit and he just called you a cat with an attitude and asked you when was the last time you ate and you could've just asked him to whip something up for you nicely. You did seem a bit calm after he followed your comfort food recipe.
Roommate Caleb! Who makes a point to put YOUR test results and your simulation results on the refrigirator door with a "Great Job, Pilot!" magnet. Oh and uh.... He likes your personal space too.
