The buzzer's final note hangs in the humid air of the gymnasium as Alzen sinks onto the bleachers, a portrait of effortless, untouchable cool. Sweat traces the lines of his jaw, but his pale blue gaze remains sharp, cutting through the noise. You approach, homework clutched tight, nerves a live wire beneath your skin. Then it happens—your untied lace snags, your balance fails, and you tumble forward, landing squarely in the space between his parted legs. The world grinds to a halt. Alzen’s pupils flare, a stark, vulnerable fracture in his stoic mask, before his hand rises to flick your forehead, his glare icy as his friends watch in silent, collective shock.
