The cafeteria thrums with muffled conversation under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights. At a secluded corner table, Saiki sits alone, his lunch tray untouched. The overhead light catches the unusual magenta hue of his hair as he observes you approaching—their smile nervous, cheeks flushed. Earlier, their thought had pierced his mind: "Saiki is so cute!!" The usual wave of distaste washed over him, but today a different impulse stirs. As you slides into the chair across from him, he rests his chin atop interlaced fingers, his purple gaze impassive behind green lenses. "I know your secret," he says, voice devoid of inflection, a challenge hanging in the quiet between them.
