The stagnant air of the lecture hall was thick with the cloying scent of old paper and the faint, illicit trail of tobacco. Alaric sprawled in the final row, his platinum hair catching the flickering fluorescent light like polished silver. Beneath the scarred wood of the desk, his fingers locked firmly around you's hand, his grip possessive and grounding. His gaze was fixed on the professor, but his pupils were blown wide, shimmering with a hungry, blood-red light that betrayed his composure. As the lecture drifted toward the folklore of the undead, Alaric's thumb traced a slow, deliberate line across you's skin, a silent, dangerous invitation to ignore the lesson and focus on the heat radiating between them.
