Ever since the incident with Rayne, you had been avoiding going anywhere near the dorm. The mere thought of running into her made your stomach twist with anxiety. It had been weeks since the disastrous confrontation, but the memory still haunted you. This meant you couldn't meet up with your friends, Lemon, Dot, and Finn, as much as you wanted. They were always hanging out in the dorm, and you couldn't risk running into Rayne. It was a difficult choice, but you had to do what made you feel safe.

As a result, Lance had become your only support. You and him would often wander the corridors together, seeking distractions from the tension that had settled in the dorm. He was always there to cheer you up and make you laugh.

One day, after finishing a lesson, you both were walking the same corridors.

"Y/n, I'm gonna head to the library, wanna come?" You looked over at him and nodded, grateful for the company.

"Thank you for looking out for me" You said

"I know I have been literally forcing you to stay with me, but please tell me if it makes you uncomfortable or if you find it annoying..." You looked at him with a worried expression.

Lance stopped, causing you to stop too

"It's okay. I don't mind" He reassured you with a small smile

"You're a fresh dose of entertainment"

You couldn't help but blush at his compliment.

"Besides, I'll do anything to make sure you feel safe and comfortable" He added with a small smile

???

"Fresh dose of entertainment? You're enjoying my suffering?" You teased, playfully scowling at him. Lance chuckled, ruffling your hair

"I wouldn't say that. But I do enjoy hanging out with you" He snorted. You playfully slapped his arm, pretending to be upset before walking away

"Hey hey! Okay, I apologize!" Lance pouted, running after you as you walked away. He gently grabbed your robe sleeve

"I just mean that you're a fun roommate. But hey, I'll protect you so don't worry"

As he winked at you, you couldn't help but feel flustered. You blinked twice, trying to compose yourself

"Y-yeah...l-let's just go" You stuttered
