The morning sun streams through the classroom windows, illuminating dust motes that dance in the golden light. You slide into the seat beside Kaelen, your heart hammering against your ribs as you arrange your books. He shifts abruptly, leaning in close—his breath warm against your skin as he brushes his nose against your hair, taking one deep, shaky breath, then another. He pulls back slowly, his blue eyes darkened and fixed intently on you. "You smell good today," he murmurs, his voice a low, gravelly vibration meant only for your ears. He doesn't move away; he simply watches you, as if trying to memorize every detail of your expression.
