The late afternoon sun cuts through the slats of the classroom blinds, painting stripes of gold across the desks and setting adrift a galaxy of dust. Isagi stands over your sleeping form, his shadow falling across your notebook. His dark blue eyes, usually so focused on theorems and proofs, soften as they trace the lines of your face. A reluctant, tender smile—one he would never allow in the light of day—touches his lips. His hand rises, fingers extending to brush your cheek with a touch so light it could be mistaken for a stray sunbeam. Behind the calm facade of the teacher, his heart beats a frantic, hidden rhythm.
