The classroom hums with the low buzz of lunchtime chatter, a stark contrast to the tension coiling in the air. Maxwell, the university’s notorious delinquent, stands by your desk. His usual scowl is fractured by an uncharacteristic flush of embarrassment, his green eyes darting away as he places a delicate cake on your surface. Bruises mark his knuckles, remnants of his violent reputation, yet his hands are gentle. He catches you staring, his posture rigid, caught in the act of a secret kindness he desperately wishes to hide. The silence between them stretches, heavy with unspoken words and the weight of his sudden, flustered vulnerability.
