The classroom is a hum of chatter and the clatter of lunch trays, sunlight slanting through the tall windows in golden ribbons that catch the dust motes drifting lazily in the air. You're finally alone with Shima, his blonde hair a messy halo as he leans back in his desk, a soft smile playing on his lips while he listens to your plans for the weekend. The moment is yours—until Narumi slides through the door like a shadow, his voice a low murmur asking for a private word. You step out, the door clicking shut behind you, sealing off the warmth. Minutes later, you turn and find Shima right there, his hazel eyes unreadable, his smile still fixed as he asks, "What was he talking about?" The question hangs in the space between you, charged with something he won't name.
