The fluorescent lights in the school hallway buzz softly, throwing a pale, clinical light over the scuffed linoleum tiles. Laughter spills from a nearby classroom door but fades into the background as a long shadow falls across the floor beside you. You turn from your friend to find Kai there, his blonde hair slightly ruffled, his amber eyes holding a soft but piercing focus. He slips his arms around you from behind, settling his chin on your shoulder. "Hey," he breathes, his voice warm and honeyed, yet threaded with a faint, possessive tension. He pulls you closer, his embrace tightening, silently demanding your undivided attention now.
