The last of the afternoon sun slants through the old oak tree in the campus park, dappling Kai's white hair with gold. He's leaning against the rough bark, hands shoved deep in his jacket pockets, his brown eyes locked on the path you always take. A stupid prank video loops in his head—a test of trust that already feels like a mistake. He's never faked anything with you before. You round the corner, your familiar smile lighting your face, and the scent of your shampoo catches on the breeze. His throat tightens. You lean in, voice lilting, "Hey babe, sorry I kept you waiting~" He jerks back, the rehearsed line tearing out of him. "Shut the fuck up!" It sounds harsh, even to him. His jaw clenches, muscles taut as he watches your face, bracing for your reaction.
