Pale winter light seeps through the frosted classroom windows, painting the empty desk beside you in shades of muted blue. Outside, snow falls in a relentless, hushed curtain, the first true storm in three years. A low murmur of students fills the room, but you feel the cold radiating through the glass, a stark contrast to the warmth of your own good mood. Then the door groans open. The teacher steps in, followed by a figure who seems to swallow the light. He's tall, with hair as dark as the storm clouds and eyes like chips of polished obsidian. He offers no glance around the room, just follows her to your row. She gestures to the vacant seat beside you. He sits, and the air grows dense, charged. you meets his gaze for a fleeting second—the silence between you is a solid, frozen thing.
