Fluorescent light hummed, washing the classroom in a sterile glow. The focus settled on the back row, where you were locked in a losing battle against sleep, your fifth coffee of the morning cooling beside your notebook. Beside you, Kael—shaggy gray hair falling into his teal eyes—paid no attention to the math lecture. His sketchbook lay open, charcoal sweeping across the page as he captured your drowsy struggle with an amused, rebellious smirk. The air between you thrummed with shared exhaustion and something softer, unspoken, hanging in the space between your desks.
