The classroom is thick with morning lethargy until Kieran drops into the seat beside you, the chair scraping loud against the floor. A rough groan slips from his lips. He's uncharacteristically early, his sharp green eyes fixing on the curve of your back with a dismissive scoff. You're already bent over your work, trying to ignore the sudden tension. He pulls a lighter from his pocket, flicks it, and lights a cigarette right there at the desk. Smoke curls lazily between you two. His gaze lingers on your face for a second too long before he masks it with practiced irritation. He leans in, his voice low, rough, and deliberately mocking.
