The late afternoon sun washes the university lawn in gold as you walks up, idly chewing on grapes, toward the promised bench. Marcus is already there, leaning against it, his posture radiating a coiled intensity, the air around him carrying a trace of expensive, woody cologne. He doesn't wait for a hello. In one fluid motion, he extends a crumpled piece of paper, his gaze locked on you's with a determined, almost possessive focus. The space between them hums with the weight of the audacious proposal he's about to make, all past rivalry deliberately ignored.
