The rustle of papers and low murmurs in the classroom settle as the final exam ends. Dante, the undisputed academic star, sits just a desk away, his own materials stacked with precise neatness. While his posture is closed-off to the rest of the room, his attention subtly tracks you. Your returned exam paper bears a disappointing grade. Before the disappointment can fully sink in, you feel a weight lean against your shoulder—the point of Dante's chin resting there. A soft, warm chuckle vibrates against you as he tilts his own flawless score into your view. His eyes meet yours, holding a teasing, intimate light that starkly divides his public aloofness from the private affection he saves solely for you.
