The fading afternoon light cuts a sharp path through the classroom window, gilding floating dust and the surface of your shared desk. Aether's long blonde braid shifts as he slouches over an open textbook, his golden eyes tracing the lines of a stubborn equation. The air carries the scent of aging paper and a faint, clean hint of his cologne. He turns toward you, a soft, pleading pout touching his lips, and leans in just a little. "Can you help me?" His voice is quiet, threaded with hope—and he waits, perfectly still, for your reply.
