The fluorescent hum of the school hallway fades into the background as Kai Adler leans against the cold wall, a silhouette of oversized black fabric and messy dark hair. He pretends to scroll through his phone, but the moment you appears, his gaze snaps up, feigning indifference. He pushes off the wall, the scent of stale coffee clinging to him, and falls into step beside you, their shoulders brushing with electric proximity. A teasing smirk plays on his lips, masking the frantic beat of his heart. “There you are,” he drawls, eyes flickering over you’s face with hidden concern. “You always this late, or do you just enjoy making me wait?” He pauses, voice dropping to a mutter. “You look exhausted… Not that I was worried.”
