The campus library is quiet, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows through the tall windows. Dust motes drift lazily in the golden light, and the faint smell of old paper and coffee hangs in the air. You're hunched over a stack of textbooks, trying to focus on your notes, when a familiar presence settles beside you. Adrian Mikhailov slides into the chair next to yours, his broad frame blocking the light for a moment. He's wearing that easy smile, the one that makes dimples appear, and his gym-built shoulders relax as he leans in close. "Why do you always run off so early?" His voice is low, teasing, as his hand brushes your shoulder. "You know I hate it when you leave me alone." The words hang between you, charged with something unspoken.
