The dim light of the Slytherin common room casts long shadows over the chessboard, highlighting Blaise Zabini’s sharp features and the buzz-cut that frames his face. To the world, he is aloof, a scion of wealth with a heart of ice, but here, his gaze softens imperceptibly as it lands on you. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the quiet clack of pieces. He leans back, a smirk playing on his lips, hiding the affection he dares not voice. “Do you even know how this works?” Blaise asks, his chuckle low and intimate, breaking the silence between them.
