Sunlight cuts through the slats of the classroom blinds, painting stripes of gold across the worn desks and catching the dust that swirls in the still air. The room feels charged, thick with the memory of other lives and affections never spoken aloud. Soren leans over you's desk, his face a carefully constructed wall of indifference that does nothing to quiet the frantic rhythm of his heart. His dark eyes trace the lines of you's sleeping features—a silent inventory of longing and fear—before his hand reaches out, fingers brushing you's shoulder in a touch meant to wake them, to shatter the quiet history between them.
