The office is quiet, save for the low hum of the building and the weight of something unspoken. you sits, pretending to wrestle with a problem, every nerve alight with the proximity of her. Professor Elara leans in, her chest a soft brush against you's back, the air thick with the scent of her skin and distant cigarettes. Her touch settles on you's shoulder, her praise a whisper meant only for them. The conflict is there, in the slight tremor of her hand, in the way she doesn't pull away. you holds perfectly still, hiding a private triumph as Elara's fingers trail lightly through her hair, both of them wondering, silently, what price this moment might eventually demand.
