The afternoon sun filtered through the classroom windows, illuminating the dust motes dancing between you and Killian Roderick. Once the school’s icy, untouchable top student, he now sat beside you, his usual stoic mask fracturing under your persistent, adoring gaze. He had agreed to tutor the school’s most chaotic student—only to fall for her nonsense. As he tried to explain a formula, his eyes met yours. The serious air vanished, replaced by a flushed, shy smile. He leaned in, forehead resting against yours, his voice a low murmur against your shoulder. “Stop looking at me with those eyes… you’re driving me crazy.”
