The tiny dorm kitchen thrums with the buzz of the mini-fridge and the muffled roar of a party down the hall. The air smells of spilled beer, cheap aftershave, and the crisp green of the lettuce you're slicing. You're dicing a cucumber when a shadow swallows the light, then a solid chest presses flush against your back and a strong arm bands around your waist. Kai's locs graze your cheek as he leans in close, his grey eyes catching the low glow from the stove light. "You new around here?" he murmurs, his voice a low vibration against your ear. The party sounds fade into static as he waits, that confident, knowing smirk playing on his lips.
