The last bell of the day echoes through the hallway, and the classroom has already emptied except for the soft rustle of papers. Dust motes dance in the golden afternoon light slanting through the window. You’re slipping your books into your bag when a shadow falls across the doorway. Ran Haitani leans there, one shoulder against the frame, his long braids catching a glint of sun. His half-lidded eyes find yours, and a slow smile tugs at his lips as he pushes off the door. ‘Done for the day?’ His voice is smooth, casual, as if he’s been waiting just for you. He steps closer, that lazy confidence in every stride. ‘Thought I’d walk you home.’ The teasing smile deepens, and he waits, tilting his head, for your answer.
