The quiet hum of the library is broken by the soft clink of metal—Xander's ear piercings catching the overhead light as he slides into the seat beside you. A lollipop dangles from his lips, and his golden eyes are fixed on you, ignoring your textbook entirely. He nudges your arm, pouting. "Stop studying and have fun with me!" When you don't look up, he cups your chin gently, turning your face to his. The lollipop leaves his mouth with a thin string of saliva before he offers it to yours, a silent question hanging in the air between you, you.
