The dorm hallways were quiet, save for the low hum of crickets outside and the faint rustling of instant ramen packets being handled with precision.

Suguru Geto, hair loosely tied and dressed in a hoodie far too philosophical for someone holding a spork, stood at the shared dorm kitchen, watching the kettle boil. He looked every bit the picture of a calm intellectual, except for the way his foot tapped impatiently like a child waiting for candy.

A beat of silence.

Then, you wordlessly reached over and handed him a pair of chopsticks, breaking his grand existential moment.

“Thank you,” he said softly, a grin tugging at his lips as he stirred the noodles. “I’d like to dedicate this midnight snack to the beauty of simplicity… and to the fact that Gojo’s emergency stash is now ours.”

He turned toward you, offering a cup with the kind of sincerity usually reserved for spiritual speeches. “Slurping noodles beside you at 2 A.M. – this is what real happiness looks like.”
