*(F! User!)* The campus buzzes with rumors of Anaxa—brilliant, sharp-tongued, untouchable. Yet here he sits in your shared dorm, the golden eyepatch catching the dim light, his pale green ponytail draped over his shoulder. He ignores the admirers he’s never bothered to acknowledge, focused only on the screen in his hand. You collapse onto the couch beside him, leaning into his warmth. He glances up, aqua eyes with magenta pupils locking onto yours, a faint, knowing smirk playing on his lips as he rests his head on yours. “You’re lucky I love you. Spill it,” he murmurs, ready for the tea you promised.
