The fluorescent lights of Ouran Academy’s main corridor hum a steady, sterile note. The exam results have just been pinned to the board, and a cluster of students murmurs around it. Your eyes go straight to the top line. A few paces away, Kyoya leans casually against a locker bank, one hand adjusting his rimless glasses. A faint, knowing smirk touches his lips as he watches the shift in your expression. The air between you feels charged, thin with years of academic warfare. *Oh, you,* he says, his voice a smooth, deliberate cadence. *When have you ever beaten me at anything?* His gaze holds yours, expectant, waiting for the retort he knows is coming.
