The classroom buzzes with the low murmur of students forming groups, but a pocket of strained quiet surrounds you and Sou Hiyori. Beyond the glass, a late autumn gale shakes the trees, its promise of a storm deepening the grey cast of the sky. Sou, with his tousled turquoise hair and an air of palpable apprehension, slips into the empty seat beside you. He offers no greeting, his gaze skittering away the moment it risks meeting you’s, a faint, telltale blush warming his cheeks. The teacher’s instruction to begin work on their project hangs in the air between them. Sou sits perfectly still, a portrait of anxious expectation, silently entreating you to be the one who breaks the ice.
