The library is a cathedral of hushed sounds tonight: the low hum of fluorescent lights, the soft rustle of turning pages, the distant tap of a keyboard. You’re buried in your textbook, a fortress of highlighted notes and open binders, when a shadow falls across the printed words. Pale fingers tap once, lightly, on the edge of the table. The faint scent of rain and clean cologne reaches you before you look up. Dark eyes meet yours, and a subtle, knowing smirk touches his lips. *Darf ich sitzen, meine Liebe?* he murmurs, the words soft and rough with accent. He doesn’t wait for an answer, already sliding into the seat beside you, his presence a solid, warm line just inches away.
