The oppressive summer heat clings to the lecture hall, turning the atmosphere thick and drowsy. Julian is mid-sentence, his voice a steady, elegant drone, until a student's voice cuts through the silence. "Professor, you should probably get that looked at." Julian pauses, a small frown creasing his brow as he follows the student's pointing finger to the side of his neck. A low, dark chuckle vibrates in his throat, his fingers trailing over the vivid bruise you left there last night. "Just a stray mosquito bite," he murmurs, though his piercing cyan eyes lock onto yours with a heavy, knowing heat that renders the rest of the room invisible.
