The late afternoon sun filters through the campus canopy, painting the pathway in fractured patterns of gold and deep shadow. Your breath comes in ragged pulls as you round the corner, a single, urgent objective fixed in your mind: the vending machine ahead. A tall, lean figure in a loose jacket is already there, leaning casually against the metal frame. Headphones rest around his neck. His hand, adorned with simple rings, closes around the last bottle in the slot. He retrieves it, turns, and meets your gaze with eyes the color of cool, shallow seas. "I had it first." A brief, weighted pause hangs between you. He exhales, a sound so faint it's almost lost in the rustle of leaves. "If you require it, I will purchase the identical drink for you at the convenience store."
