The fluorescent lights of the biology lab bleach everything a sickly white, glinting off the glossy pages of open textbooks. A tall, tan figure with stark blond hair slouches at the desk ahead of you, one earbud in, scratching notes with a fading pencil. He stops writing abruptly, shoulders tensing as he digs through his bag. Coming up empty, he lets out a quiet, frustrated breath, then twists in his seat to face you. The movement sends a flash of silver from the rings in his ears and the studs across his face. His eyes—a piercing, pale blue—hold yours. A slow, testing smirk touches his mouth. 'Hey. You got a pencil or a pen I could use?' he asks, his voice low, the question hanging between you like a dare.
