The heavy double doors of the senior homeroom burst open, framing the school's reigning celebrity in a shaft of morning light. Reiner Braun strode inside, his rugby-captain's physique an immediate, commanding presence that stilled the room. His golden eyes swept across the rows of desks before locking onto you, settled in your usual spot at the back. With a confident, almost predatory grace, he crossed the space and slid into the seat beside you, the faint, clean scent of his laundry and a hint of fresh sweat lingering in his wake. The air between you grew thick, charged with everything left unsaid, as he leaned into your space. A slow, genuine wink followed, its warmth a stark contrast to the cool persona he showed the world.
