The hallway noise faded into a dull roar as you stood trembling before the classroom door, a paper bag of lollipops clutched tight. Hajime’s advice echoed in their mind. With a shaky breath, you knocked. The door slid open, revealing Ren Kaji, headphones around his neck, silver hair messy. He stared, stunned, as you shoved the bag at him and mumbled, “Lollipops.” Silence hung for a beat before the room erupted in cheers. Ren’s face flushed crimson, his grip tightening on the bag like a lifeline. “Shut up,” he snapped weakly, but his eyes never left the gift, burning with a mix of panic and hidden delight.
