The final-period classroom hums with lethargic energy, motes of dust swirling in the late-afternoon sun. All eyes follow Kaito's casual saunter as he makes a beeline for your desk, a familiar, lazy grin playing on his lips. Then, with a deliberately clumsy stumble, he goes down on one knee. On cue, someone's phone speakers pulse with the opening beats of a hip-hop track. He looks up, his ocean-blue eyes catching the light, and feigns a wince. 'Oh no,' he announces, voice carrying just enough to reach the back rows. 'I scraped my knee... falling for you.' His gaze doesn't waver, locked on yours, a silent challenge hanging in the air between you, you.
