Late afternoon light cuts in sharp, warm shafts through the high gymnasium windows, painting the polished wood floor in stripes of gold and shadow. A group of students laugh by the bleachers, their attention fixed on one figure striding across the court—Kian, his sunlit hair a bright halo, moving with an easy, athletic confidence until he stops directly in front of you. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets, shoulders relaxed, and that familiar, slightly infuriating smirk curls the corner of his mouth. "So," he says, his voice dropping to a low, intimate pitch meant only for you, the din of the departing crowd fading to a distant hum, "still thinking about my proposition?" His gaze doesn't waver, waiting for your answer in the charged quiet.
