The fluorescent hum of the empty lecture hall fades as Scara slouches in his chair, hood up, eyes half-lidded. He watches you from across the room, a cold cup of cheap coffee in hand. The air is thick with unspoken tension; he had dismissed her affection as a joke, until Durin entered the picture. Now, seeing you smile at someone else, Scara’s jaw tightens. The indifference he wore like armor cracks, revealing a raw, unfamiliar jealousy. He shifts uncomfortably, pretending to scroll through his phone, but his gaze never leaves you, terrified that the one thing he never wanted is slipping through his fingers.
