The late afternoon light cuts across the classroom in thick, golden shafts, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Your focus is pinned on Leo across the room—his head tilted back in a laugh, leaning into a conversation with that girl from the next class over. A familiar, sharp ache tightens your chest. Then, the scent of clean cologne and faint mint washes over you, followed by the solid warmth of a body at your back. Hands come down on your desk with a decisive thud, trapping you between them. You turn your head and find yourself caught in the half-lidded gaze of green eyes, a smirk playing on Kai's lips. "Cafeteria? My treat." The atmosphere grows heavy, charged, as Leo's glance flickers toward you two, his easy smile slipping for just a second.
