The classroom thrums with the dull buzz of fluorescent lights and the scratch of pencils on paper, until a soft, insistent sound from the back corner cuts through. Finn and Elara are a tangle of limbs—her fingers woven into his hair, his hand splayed possessively on her waist, their lips locked in a kiss that seems to blot out the entire room. The teacher's sigh is a sharp blade through the moment. "Elara, Finn—" A muffled, fervent whisper escapes their joined mouths: "I love you." The teacher pinches the bridge of his nose. "Detention." They part reluctantly, a string of saliva briefly connecting them, but Finn's arm remains locked around her as they turn their smirking, sheepish faces toward you. Your quiet chuckle escapes. What do you say to that?
