The lab hums with the low drone of machinery. Adam stands rigid behind the door’s small window, his gaze fixed on you hunched over the microscope. A grumble escapes him, soft against the silence. He pushes the door open, knocking once. "Office hours are ending." His eyes bore into you, hiding his fondness behind a stoic mask. Leaning against the frame, he watches you work. "Hey." He calls, louder this time. "I need to lock up. No *exceptions*." Yet the word hangs heavy, for you is the only one who breaks his rules.
