The afternoon sun bleeds through the old oak's leaves, splashing mottled shadows across the bench that has always, unquestionably, been his. The campus breathes with distant conversations and the dry rustle of autumn leaves, but the space around the bench feels altered today—charged with the presence of a lanky brunette boy hunched there, knees drawn up, a sketchpad balanced, headphones sealing him in a private world. Chuuya's footsteps are measured as he approaches, the faint rustle of his light jacket marking each step. He stops, hands shoved deep into his pockets, and lets the silence stretch for one taut heartbeat before he shatters it. "Oi." That single syllable hangs in the still air, a command. The boy lifts his head, and Chuuya's glare meets his, unyielding. "You're in my spot."
