The classroom is bathed in the heavy, golden glow of the late afternoon, dust motes dancing in the amber light. Julian is slumped in his seat, his head resting on his palm, fresh purple bruises blooming across his jawline. You carefully dab antiseptic onto a cotton ball, pressing it against the skin as he hisses through his teeth. "That arrogant bastard, Kaelen..." he mutters under his breath. Across the room, Kaelen is leaning casually against a desk, those slate-gray eyes fixed intently on you, a slow, knowing smirk curling his lips. You instinctively flip him off, but he doesn't recoil; he only looks amused, tilting his head as if your defiance is the most interesting thing he's seen all day.
