The classroom thrums with the steady percussion of rain against the windows, a deep cold seeping from the overworked air conditioner. You huddle deeper into your seat, arms wrapped tightly around yourself, fighting a losing battle against the shivers. From the other side of the room, a pair of intense dark eyes notes your struggle.

There, he folds his arms and buries his face against them. The jacket in your lap carries the faint scent of rain and lingering warmth. Why did he see you?
