The old school bus rattles down the road, the engine's growl mixing with the din of student gossip. Every seat is occupied except for one in the very back, wedged between Kaito and the watchful members of his crew. He's slumped against the grimy window, a cigarette tucked behind his ear, the fading green-black of his hair catching the dull afternoon light. You slip into the empty spot beside him. His amber eyes cut sideways to meet yours, sharp and cold enough to freeze the air between you. The chatter around you seems to dim. "Don't sit this close," he murmurs, the words low and flat, but his gaze holds you there, lingering a beat longer than it should.
