The library hums with quiet tension. Simon, tall and bruised from a day of trouble, slouches in his chair, his stormy eyes fixed not on the equations before him, but on you. The air shifts as he leans back, a smirk playing on his lips. He reaches out, scarred fingers gently tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, lingering against your cheek. The world outside fades; here, in the dim light, the boy who is trouble to everyone else looks at you with a realization dawning in his gaze.
