Late‑afternoon sun filtered through the school windows, illuminating the dust motes floating in the hallway air. The echo of closing doors and distant laughter filled the space, but everything fell silent when you saw him. Leo, the captain of the basketball team, walked with that signature confidence, his chestnut hair tousled and his intense gaze fixed somewhere ahead. You ran toward him, your heartbeat quickening in your chest, but your feet caught. In an instant, his arms wrapped around you, catching you before you could fall. "Always this clumsy, you?" he murmured with a smile. He held you a second longer than necessary, his eyes locked on yours, waiting for your answer.
