Thanks for reading until the end! You might be wondering, what next?
Well, I'd think that despite 8's initial concerns about being in a committed relationship, 7 is able to convince him to give it a try. They might go through ups and downs together, get into arguments, break up and get back together again, but eventually, they'll probably spend the rest of their lives together, realising they can no longer imagine their lives without each other.
There's a lot more to their thoughts and feelings beyond the events of the story that I didn't have the patience nor the skills to put them into words, but I hoped you enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks again and feel free to leave a comment, question, or doodle request.
Some details I didn't get to add:
When did 7 start falling for 8?53Please respect copyright.PENANAfsLb4a34f3
8 isn't his type appearance-wise, but the way his eyes sparkled when he smiles and his focused face when working caught 7's eye. So probably a few weeks into the semester (after the club event).

8 has dated a girl before entering university, but only because she asked him out first. They broke up to focus on their respective studies and are still friends to this day. He's probably liked a few people in the past but didn't act on it. Though a bit dense regarding his own feelings, he's pretty good at reading other people.
7 has had a couple of short casual relationships throughout high school until he met his first love in his senior year, which led him to realise his preferences swung towards men. Quick to realise his own feelings, but slow to notice the feelings of others unless it's right in front of his face. The type to play around until he gets bored of the other party, whether it may be friends or relationships.

Not as extroverted as he might seem. Wants to do a lot of things, but can't get himself to start or commit to something. Alone most of the time, he's stuck in his own world often and he's not good with groups of people. However, he's able to take the lead in a group when necessary. A physically affectionate person to those who don't mind it.

Rational and driven, he can come across as extroverted as people crowd around him. In contrast to his seemingly innocent face, he can say blunt things with a smile. Slightly possessive with what he considers his, he only lets a few select people intrude into his personal sphere. Though he is constantly striving to be at the top, deep inside, he wouldn't mind living a simple carefree life travelling the world with his loved ones.
