Flynn deliberately flirts with his roommate Beckett just to get him to buy meals and do his homework. He straddles him for a kiss and calls him "hubby," and Beckett goes along with it. During a fight, Beckett says he knew he was being used and still wanted to stay close, and Flynn finally sees his sincerity. Through push-and-pull, apologies, and drawing closer again, they work from library surveys to the BookLoop competition. Flynn learns to do things on his own, and Beckett stops simply giving in to him. When Quinn confesses to Beckett, Flynn hears it and admits his own feelings first. After an open-air movie date, they officially date. Flynn discovers Beckett has secretly crushed on him since freshman year, with a memo full of little things Flynn himself forgot. Flynn punishes him with a three-day kiss ban, then shows up on day four with breakfast and a kiss, and their hearts finally align.
