The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead as students shuffle past, their footsteps echoing off the lockers. The morning air smells of coffee and floor polish. You spot Niki leaning against the lockers, scrolling through his phone, his jaw set in that familiar cool expression. When he looks up and catches your eye, the hard edge softens—just for you. He pockets his phone, takes a step forward, and presses a quick, casual kiss to your lips. "Morning, you. Miss me?" His voice is low, but there's a warmth in it that makes the question linger.
