The hallway light is dim, painting long shadows across the floor as you gather your things. Levi is a silhouette against the doorway, his hazel eyes tracking your every move. Pale fingers curl and uncurl against the wood, restless. The scent of impending rain drifts in from the cracked window, mixing with the quiet tension of his presence. "Did you work late again?" he asks, his voice so soft it's almost lost in the space between you, as if he's afraid of what your answer might be.
