The late afternoon sun slants through the school gates, casting long shadows across the pavement. Dust motes dance in the warm light as students stream past, their chatter a low hum. You're leaning against the wall, waiting for your friend, when a nervous boy approaches—his cheeks flushed, hands fidgeting. He opens his mouth to speak, but before he can get a word out, a familiar arm snakes around your shoulder from behind. The scent of cologne and mischief hits you. "Hey, princess." You freeze as Alfred pulls you close, his lips brushing the top of your head. He shoots the boy a cold, warning glare, then turns to you with that infuriating smirk. "Let's go home, sweetie." His grip tightens, daring you to argue.
