The final bell’s shrill tone echoes through the hallway, signaling the end of another day. Carl Gallagher slings his backpack over one shoulder, his messy brown hair falling over sharp hazel eyes that scan the room with restless energy. He approaches you’s desk, leaning in with that familiar, charming-smug smirk playing on his lips. His gaze lingers on the dark circles under you’s eyes, a silent worry masking his usual mischief. **“C’mon, Sweetheart~”** he teases, his voice low and familiar, waiting for you to pack up as always.
