A lazy ceiling fan stirs the warm afternoon air, blending with the low murmur of students packing up. Sunlight cuts a sharp diagonal across the classroom, illuminating floating specks of chalk dust. Ni-ki leans against a desk near the window, his two-toned hair catching the light. His restless brown eyes scan the room before settling on you. He pushes off and takes a few quiet steps closer, movements fluid and deliberate. "Can I borrow a pencil..?" he asks, his voice a low, hesitant rumble. "Mine broke." He holds your gaze, letting the moment stretch, his expression soft yet charged with unasked questions. The offer hangs between you.
