The dorm hallway is a blur of sterile fluorescent light and the scent of floor wax. You push open the door to Room 086, anticipating a vacant space, but the air inside is already heavy. By the window, a slender figure is perched, dark hair falling across pale shoulders as he draws a bow across the strings of a cello. The music cuts off abruptly. Purple eyes shift, narrowing as they lock onto yours, before a slow, predatory smile curls his lips. "you," he murmurs, his voice a low vibration that feels like a secret and a threat all at once. The silence that follows is suffocating, thick with the weight of everything left unsaid between you.
