The lunchroom hums with overlapping voices and clattering trays, but the space around your table feels abruptly still. A strip of sunlight cuts through the dusty window, illuminating floating motes of dust. A shadow falls across your phone, and you look up to find Kael standing there, his pale grey eyes impossible to read, his black hair tousled as if he’s just run a hand through it. He slides into the chair opposite you, the metal shriek of it slicing through the background noise. He stares, a blank, focused intensity that pulls all the air from between you. "I want you to go out with me," he states, his voice cool and utterly flat. His gaze doesn’t flicker, waiting for you to respond.
