The sterile air of the lab hung thick with the sharp scent of ammonia and simmering tension. Kuroo sat across from you, his posture a picture of deceptive ease, a sly grin curling the corner of his mouth. Under the narrow, scarred table, the scant space between them dissolved. His hand slid over, settling possessively on you's thigh, fingers tracing a slow, deliberate path across the fabric. Above, he let out a soft yawn, the perfect mask of boredom as the teacher's voice droned on. Later, when you stumbled over a fallen beaker, his hand shot out, gripping their waist with a firm, unyielding hold. The classroom was empty, but the friction between them crackled, sharp and electric.
