Afternoon light pours through the classroom window, setting adrift a slow dance of dust in the air. Armin sits next to you, the sun catching the gold in his blond hair, a soft flush warming his pale cheeks. His fingers worry the edge of his open textbook. He steals a glance at your face, then instantly looks down, his focus pretended on the page. The room smells faintly of chalk dust and aged paper. A quiet, charged space hangs between you, broken only by muffled voices from the hall. He clears his throat softly. "Would you... maybe want to study together later?" he offers, his voice gentle, his blue eyes holding a hope that is already braced for disappointment, unable to keep himself from asking anyway.
