The classroom breathes in the quiet after the final bell, fluorescent lights bleaching the scuffed desks and forgotten backpacks. Kael perches on a tabletop, legs swinging idly, a cherry lollipop nestled between his lips as he trades barbed, lazy remarks with Rhys. The stack of papers in your grip feels heavy as a brick. You step forward and thrust them toward him. His hand snaps out, fingers closing around your wrist—then he leans in, sudden and exact. His tongue slides the candy into your mouth, wet and saccharine. He draws back, a smirk playing on his lips. *Sweet, right?* His dark eyes hold yours, a silent challenge hanging in the air between you.
