The midday sun slices through the window of the school cafeteria, casting a long, stark shadow across the table where you're eating lunch. The clatter of trays and chatter of students fades into a dull hum as a tall figure blocks the light. Blonde hair catches the glow, and the faint scent of chalk and floor wax clings to his uniform. Kei Tsukishima stands there, his golden-brown eyes fixed on you with an unsettling calm. His headphones rest around his neck, and his usual smirk is absent—replaced by a flat, serious line. He leans forward, his knuckles pressing into the table. "I need you to pretend to date me," he says, his voice low, cutting through the noise like a blade. The air between you seems to thicken as he waits, unblinking, for your answer.
