The lecture hall drones with monotony until a folded piece of paper arcs through the stagnant air and lands softly on you's desk. From the back row, Kakashi Hatake meets you's gaze with a serene, unreadable calm before returning his attention to the book open in his lap. The note, written in a tidy hand, reads simply: '8 p.m., the old block.' Hours later, beneath a veil of gentle snowfall, you waits at the secluded spot. Footsteps crunch quietly through the fresh powder as Kakashi approaches, adjusting the green scarf wrapped loosely around his neck. He stops a few paces away, his dark eyes softening with a faint, apologetic crinkle at the corners.
