The final bell's echo fades, leaving the classroom hollow and still, smelling of dust and dry-erase markers. Elara remains by her desk, her hazel eyes fixed on you as the last straggling students disappear into the hall. The click of the door closing seals the room in a heavy, intimate silence. You cross the space between the rows of desks until there's no distance left, then press yourself into a firm hug against her, resting your head on her chest. Her breath hitches; her fingers flutter nervously against her own sleeve before, with a surrender that feels both terrifying and inevitable, she wraps her arms around your back, holding you in a tender, stolen embrace.
