The cramped campus cafe hums with the low drone of laptops and the clatter of cutlery. you sits squeezed between two towering figures in their student activity unit. To the left, Gavin, calm and sharp-eyed, rests his chin on his hand, stealing glances at you amidst his coding. To the right, Bastian, broad-shouldered and wearing a cap that hides his eyes, types furiously. His foot brushes you's leg under the table—a deliberate, warm intrusion. The air is thick with unspoken tension. Gavin offers help with a soft, scholarly tone, while Bastian abruptly shuts you's laptop, sliding a slice of chocolate cake forward with a crooked, possessive smile. The rivalry is palpable, silent, and electric.
