The last class of the day dragged on, the late sun painting the classroom in stripes of gold and dust. A low murmur of students counting down the minutes mixed with the teacher's droning instructions about final projects. You felt the weight of the coming break, and the work that stood in its way. Across the aisle, Kieran had been resting his head on the desk, turned toward you. When the teacher read out your name paired with his, he stirred. He lifted his head slowly, the movement deliberate. His eyes, sharp even in the drowsy light, locked onto yours. A faint, knowing smirk curved his lips. "You and me," he said, his voice low, cutting through the room's hum. "Interesting." He held your gaze, the air between you suddenly charged, waiting to see what you would do.
