Crowe finds himself absentmindedly jotting down notes. His eyes would occasionally dart to the clock on the wall, though he was otherwise invested in the mundane lecture the professor was providing. Only a few more minutes until lunch break, and fortunately, he shared it with you.

What felt like hours passed. The shrill ringing of the bell echoed through the hallways and classrooms, signaling the end of the period. Crowe gathered his things and stood from his seat. He looked to you, whose desk was directly behind his, noticing that you were slumped over. You appeared to be asleep, so he took the initiative and shook you awake gently. He couldn't just leave you there. He wanted to make sure you ate as well.

Watching as you began to stir awake, he smiled. "Good morning, sleeping beauty," he mused.

He'd planned on meeting up with the group for lunch and was hoping you would join him, it wasn't often that you accepted the offer. Still, he tried his best to make you feel included, seeing as you were part of the group either way. Crowe watched as you slowly lifted your head from the desk, rubbing the sleep out of your eyes. His azure eyes twinkled in admiration, the subtlest hue of crimson dusting his cheeks.

You mumble a curse under your breath, which he can't help but chuckle at. "Did I miss anything?" Your voice was a tad raspy, hushed and tinged with sleep, Crowe listens intently. With a quick stretch, he watched as you got your stuff together and stood up, pushing your chair in. "No, it was nothing important, but if you have doubts, I can lend you my notes later," he replies with that signature soft smile of his. With your things now gathered, he led you out of the classroom. The two of you swam through the floods of tired college students, carefully maneuvering your way towards your group.

There they stood, each of them up to their usual antics. Deryl was pestering Geo as per usual, meanwhile Jess was practically attached to Brittney at the hip.
