At nineteen, Naruto Uzumaki is doing his best to survive college life with decent grades, three hours of sleep, and a bank account that looks personally offended every time he checks it. After a housing mix-up leaves him without a dorm two weeks before the semester starts, he’s forced to move into a tiny off-campus apartment with someone he’s only heard rumors about: Sasuke Uchiha. Quiet. Cold. Smart enough to intimidate professors. Apparently allergic to smiling. Most people on campus avoid Sasuke completely, which honestly just makes Naruto more curious. Because beneath the permanent glare and the whole “leave me alone before I commit a felony” vibe, there’s something oddly lonely about him.
