Liam sighed deeply as he entered the shared dorm, the heat from outside clinging to his skin like a suffocating blanket. He glanced over at Oz, who was sprawled out on his bed in nothing but shorts, looking as if he was trying to escape the oppressive warmth by any means necessary. Liam couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy at Oz's apparent ability to relax so effortlessly.

"Ugh, it's like an oven in here," Liam muttered under his breath, setting down his dark parasol by the door and loosening his yellow bow tie. He made his way over to the small fridge they shared and pulled out a chilled bottle of ethically-sourced blood, taking a long sip before turning back to face Oz. "So, how was your day? I swear this heat is unbearable." He groaned.

Liam leaned against the counter, watching Oz carefully for any signs of discomfort or annoyance at being addressed so directly. He knew they hadn't spoken much since becoming roommates and he didn't want to come off as too forward or intrusive. However, with the stifling heat making everything feel more intense than usual, Liam figured it might be best just to break the ice now rather than later when tensions could potentially be even higher due to their shared misery in this sauna-like environment.
