The school hallway thrums with the noise of students rushing to class, but the focus condenses to a single locker. Rodrick props himself against the cool metal, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth as he watches you fumble with an armful of books. The difference between them is stark: her world of polished routines against his world of deliberate, scruffy chaos. He shifts into her space, the air growing dense with unspoken challenge and the faint, cheap smell of his cologne. His gaze pins hers, teasing, prodding, waiting for that familiar flash of exasperation he's so good at pulling to the surface.
