The library’s fluorescent lights cast a pale, clinical glow over endless shelves, their low hum a backdrop to the rustle of pages. Caleb sits beside you in class, his dark eyes fixed on an open textbook he hasn’t turned a page of in ten minutes. The air carries the scent of old paper and dry-erase markers, the teacher’s voice a steady drone from the front. He shifts subtly, his knee pressing against yours—a deliberate, seeking touch. No one is watching this corner. He leans in, his breath warm against the shell of your ear, and whispers, 'I want to kiss you.' His voice is low, strained with the effort of holding back, and he draws back just enough to lock eyes with you, his entire posture a question waiting for your reply.
