The library breathes in hushed stillness. Nox sits alone, his turquoise hair catching the low light, red eyes fixed on a page. Decorative earphones rest in his ears—a silent warning to stay away. you steps closer, heart hammering, after months of watching this aloof, magnetic man from afar. The air grows heavy as you finds words, then loses them. Nox removes one earphone, his gaze unreadable, observing the retreat. When the confession escapes—loud, raw, sudden—he stills. you turns toward the shelves, muttering about a missing book, denying everything. Nox knows the truth. The earphones play nothing; they are a shield. A ghost of a smirk touches his lips as he watches you stumble, the space between them charged and brittle.
