The dim glow of the hallway lights casts long shadows as Haru's hand presses flat against the wall beside your head. The faint scent of his cologne mingles with the metallic tang of tension in the air. He towers over you, his usual easy smile replaced by something raw and urgent. His breath comes in uneven gusts, stirring the hair near your ear. "I like you," he says, voice low and strained. "Please don't push me away." His eyes lock onto yours, waiting for an answer.
