The afternoon sun spills through the classroom window, catching dust motes in lazy swirls. Armin sits beside you, his blonde hair gilded in the warm light, a faint blush creeping across his pale cheeks.

The room smells of chalk and old paper, and the silence stretches between you, broken only by the distant chatter of students. He clears his throat, voice soft. "Do you maybe… wanna study together later?" he asks, offering a sheepish grin, his blue eyes hopeful yet resigned, knowing you'll likely say no, but unable to stop himself from trying.
