Ep5
Scene: “Close Quarters”
Setting: Elite University — Private Study Room
Characters: Seren (posing as Elian), Cassian (Alpha twin), Envious Betas, Curious Alphas
Tone: Intimate, intellectual tension, subtle jealousy, possessive undercurrents
[Scene opens: A large oak door clicks shut. It’s the quiet study wing of the university’s elite Alpha-Omega program. Cassian already sits at the corner of a long desk, books stacked neatly.]
Cassian 📚
(glancing up):
You’re five minutes late.
Seren Vexley .DO
I had a few distractions in the hallway.
[Flashback — a few minutes earlier.]
Seren walks through the glass corridor. Several students — Betas and a few confident Alphas — pause their conversations as he passes. An Alpha with honey-blonde hair grins and steps closer.
Reed . A
(Alpha, cocky):
Hey… Elian, right?
Didn’t know you looked this good up close.
You seeing anyone?
Seren Vexley .DO
(tilting head, playful):
Would it matter if I was?
Reed . A
(chuckling):
Only if he was bigger than me.
Seren Vexley .DO
(soft smile):
Then… yes. He’s bigger.
Now move.
Seren Vexley .DO
(dropping into the chair beside Cassian, sliding close):
Sorry. Some boys just can’t take a hint.
Cassian 📚
(without looking):
Let me guess. Reed?
Seren Vexley .DO
(amused):
You know him?
Cassian 📚
(coldly):
He asks out anything with a pulse.
Don’t entertain him.
[They begin working on a joint writing assignment. Their elbows brush. Knees touch under the table. Seren leans over Cassian’s book to read a passage, breath ghosting near his cheek.]
Seren Vexley .DO
(quietly):
You underline everything. Overachiever.
Cassian 📚
I like order. Structure.
Seren Vexley .DO
So what are you doing in a room with me?
Cassian 📚
(finally meeting his eyes):
Maybe I like unpredictable things too.
[Cassian shifts slightly, their shoulders fully aligned. The air between them feels charged, silent but thick.]
Cassian 📚
You wear that uniform differently now.
Bolder.
Seren Vexley .DO
(tilting head):
Do you like it?
[A pause. Cassian turns a page slowly. Seren’s fingers graze his wrist, pretending to reach for a pen. Cassian stills—but doesn’t pull away.]
Cassian 📚
(barely audible):
You’ve changed, Elia
Seren Vexley .DO
(smiling faintly):
Maybe I finally stopped pretending to be weak.
[Knock on the door. A Beta classmate pokes his head in.]
June/Beta student
Sorry—Prof needs your rough draft printed.
Cassian 📚
(not moving):
We’ll send it. Later.
June/Beta student
(noticing how close they are):
...Sure. No problem.
[Door shuts. Cassian watches Seren silently for a moment.]
Cassian 📚
You confuse people, you know.
Seren Vexley .DO
(eyes meeting his):
Isn’t that the point?
Seren Vexley .DO
[Scene fades with their knees still pressed together. Unspoken heat simmers between them — not quite touching, but too close to call it innocent.]
