The smileeee. 😭✨

Sooch is adorable looking for Howie while still mostly asleep. But I love that Howie gets a little spotlight and this moment to himself again, smiling and thinking, "wow, that happened, we've come to this point and we're happy." I completely understand the shift to focus on Sooch and him processing everything that's going on. Just, given where the comic started with a focus on Howie and his crush on Sooch, I really like that we can see him on his own enjoying his life and his relationship, too 😊

Flamey

Love how sooch reached around behind him looking for Howie while half asleep

Nova

Howie's smile and sooch blush IS MY LUCKY CHARM 😭💞💞💞💞

I just showed my boyfriend a pisture of Howie smiling without a context and aked if he knows what that smile means. His reply was instant: Someone is being lucky tonight 😏. I just wanted to point out how good you are with drawing and showing so many diffrent emotions and that they really reach us readers. Thank you for this amazing, wonderful and full of sunshine and rainbows story ♥️♥️

I don’t know of any college housing that has queen or king beds (except married housing I guess). I never lived in dorms but every furnished apartment I lived in was just a twin bed. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ashisbored

They don’t live in the dorms though

Kiterie Aine

Both of them realizing it wasn’t a dream 🫢

Sarah B

Somehow it's not since his alarm just rang on it

Sarah B

We as a fandom will fiercely protect our boys 💓💓 I'm just hopeful there's no heartbreak when telling their families 😅🫠

Sarah B

Yeah after they showered they went to Sooch's bed probably because that's the one they always sleep in and also Howie's sheets were now dirty

Sarah B

Yes I think after the shower they went to Sooch's bed. They tend to sleep in Sooch's bed plus now Howie's sheets are dirty 😉😉

Sarah B

So sweet. I wondered if the speech bubbles with dots were meant to be their thoughts or voices from outside their room.

Mistral

His phones probably so dead

Siri

Last night was greatttttt

Ella Romain

Danielle Coleman

At the beginning they did, but in the chapter before the Sooch's final when Howie was drunk Sooch said they didn't have to move the bed anymore and they'd just share the 1 bed

Nova Roy

My favorite part of this is the 1 bed for fooling and 1 bed for sleeping.

AlexLBJD

Those first time memories do hit totally different the next morning
