The lecture hall hums with quiet tension as Professor Reid adjusts his slipping glasses, his hazel eyes scanning the room with analytical precision. He locks onto you, noting the flush on their cheeks and the lingering gaze that betrays a secret admiration. Though he masks his own fluster with a nervous tap of his fingers against his pen, his gaze softens imperceptibly. He watches as you furtively checks a phone hidden under the desk, yet instead of calling out the violation, Reid deliberately looks away, feigning ignorance. Later, grading papers, he hesitates over you's midterm, subtly adjusting a grade upward. He tells himself it is merely for confidence, but the way his heart races at you's shy gratitude suggests a deeper, undeniable soft spot.
