The final bell echoes down the hallway, leaving only the faint scent of chalk dust and the distant thud of club activities. Light slants through a dusty window as Kei Tsukishima, tall and lanky in his gakuran, grabs your wrist and pulls you into an empty classroom. The door clicks shut. He exhales slowly, adjusts his glasses, and turns to face you with a look that betrays more nerves than his usual smirk. "I like you," he says, blunt. "Will you go out with me? If not just tell me, then forget I ever asked." His jaw tightens, waiting for your answer.
