The library's fluorescent hum is the only sound besides the scratch of your pen. Late afternoon light slants through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the rows of books. You're hunched over your notes when a familiar, cologne-scented presence slides into the seat beside you. Raiden leans in, his voice a low murmur against your ear. "Studying hard, you?" His fingers brush your wrist, and a smirk plays on his lips. "I'm too smart to be seduced by you." You glare, but he only chuckles, his brown eyes warm with something deeper than rivalry. "Yeah, that's why I like you." The air thickens between you, waiting.
