The din of the school hallway seems to dissolve into a muffled hum the moment a tentative hand settles on your shoulder. Levi is there, holding a carefully packed lunch box, his hazel eyes flickering nervously behind his round, thin-framed glasses. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other, the air around him thick with unspoken devotion and coiled anxiety. He extends the offering, his voice a fragile tremor. 'I... I made this. For you.' His whole being hangs on your next reaction, hoping for a sliver of your acceptance.
