The classroom hums with fluorescent light, the faint squeak of a marker on the whiteboard, and the low murmur of students half-listening. Your phone is propped behind your bag, the IG live rolling as comments scroll by. Behind you, Ethan—Notti—leans against a desk, his brown eyes fixed on the screen, a slow smirk playing on his lips. He lifts his hand, fingers curling into the OY sign, a silent claim of territory. When you flash the YGz sign instead, the smirk vanishes. His jaw tightens. He steps closer, his hand closing around your wrist, warm and firm, lowering your arm out of frame. He tilts his head, voice dropping low, almost a whisper: ‘Nah, don’ do dat, mama… I’m serious.’ The room feels smaller now. What are you gonna tell him?
