Guinevere and the three knights

"Seriously who stole my shampoo again?!" A voice rings loudly in the pit that is the apartment block at 2 am on a Wednesday morning. The aftermath of the sounds rings hollow against the cheap plaster wall. A cacophony of inhuman sounds follows. Many incoherent complaints and shrieks to the air. One coherent reply rises above the rest. "Shut the f**k up, asshole!" There are also furious thumps at walls, in retaliation at being woken up way too early for the uni student to function in the wee hours of the morning. Some people just came back. Other people have classes. 2 is too cruel of an hour to start a performance in the shower and effectively grousing the entire floor. "I need shampoo~," the voice still singsongs, though less in loudness and intensity, but annoyingly still loud in their own apartment. The facts - Anderson Enriquez enjoys and prioritises these specific things in life: his appearance, his friends' appearances when they are near him, his dogs, the availability of sugared Nutella donuts at the campus cafe, being able to belt high notes in the showers consistently at 5.30 in the morning and waking the people in his apartment up at 7 o'clock every morning because he can - He's the reason why people started 1) sleeping way too early 2) buying noise-cancelling headphones 3)filing out complaints to the Dean and legal aid He nudges Gwen, a small thing, a precious bean, with his socked foot and steps back as she gathers the blanket around her and rolls off to her right, hair wrapping around her face and neck. "Gwen," he waits. "No," is the answer, "leave me and my blanket burrito alone." "You have a class." "In two hours. You woke me up. I'm not moving." Someone walks into the door to Gwen's room. Anderson spares Kaito a passing glance, the guy struggling to keep himself upright, elbows slipping down like his declining sleep hours, courtesy of being woken up on a regular basis of three times every night and into the next morning. Cohen is in the kitchen, fuelled by the pure and filtered force of caffeine (in the form of a shot, with a little or a lot of Red Bull thrown in). He's wielding a spatula and he's cursing Anderson from his ancestors to the banana tree his aunt is growing back in the Philippines. "Lovely morning, right everyone?" Anderson lets out a refreshing exhale, not even bothering with the varying levels of death glares in the room. "There is an imminent question I need to ask," he grins, almost maniacal, "which fucker took my shampoo?" Gwen hits an immovable object, the wall, in her escape attempt and groans, something vaguely non-English and the grocery list she wrote last night. Cohen muffles the scream he's about to unleash on them with the slap he deems appropriate as a response in not screaming. It's a loud slap. Kaito may be sleep-deprived but he's woken up by the instinctive DNA wiring of care inside of him, eyes widening and asking Anderson where he saw his shampoo last and did anyone see it yesterday. "Threw it in the bin," Gwen grunts, "thing ran out on Monday." "Oh, right, yeah," Anderson slaps a fist onto his palm, "I threw it out." There are three things that occur one after the other in the next second: 1. Kaito lets out a burdensome and heartrending sigh, so tired that Cohen spares him two pats from the flat end of his spatula, murmuring "It's not your problem" 2. Gwen sits up and crawls under her desk 3. Cohen reaches back and hurls the spatula at Anderson's back, screaming curses in Korean and English, the most prominent being "You asshole!"
