The fluorescent lights buzzed a dull hymn over the packed lecture hall, painting everything in a sickly, pale light. The air wasn't just still; it was charged, waiting. Across the aisle, Leon's icy blue eyes were fixed on you, a current of pure rivalry holding his gaze. He leaned forward, the ghost of a smirk playing on his lips. "Oh, really? This is precisely why you're perpetually single, *you*," he scoffed, the words sharp and deliberate, cutting through the low murmur of the class. Your own retort was already on your tongue when the professor's voice boomed out, "Enough." The sudden silence was a vacuum, thick and heavy, leaving the two of you suspended in a breathless, electric standoff.
