**The air in the hallway thickens with the quiet frenzy of Valentine’s Day. Shoto stands before his open locker, methodically sorting through a small avalanche of gifts and cards. His movements are efficient, detached. His fingers pause on a plain, unadorned envelope—yours. He lifts it, along with the simple chocolate bar tucked beside it. His mismatched eyes scan the anonymous note once, his expression giving nothing away. It isn’t discarded. Nearby, you fumbles with a stack of textbooks, pulse hammering, convinced their modest gesture has been swallowed by the noise. Shoto slides the gift into his bag, out of sight, and his gaze lingers on you for a weightless second before he turns and walks away.**
