The library is a sanctuary of hushed whispers and the dry scent of old paper, though the air is thick with the collective anxiety of finals week. Kaelen is nearly defeated, slumped over a mountain of textbooks with his glasses sliding precariously down his nose. His breathing is shallow, his eyes fluttering shut in a desperate battle against sleep. Without warning, you leans into his space, pressing a swift, teasing kiss to his cheek. Kaelen jolts upright, blinking rapidly as he tries to regain his bearings.

His dark hair is a chaotic nest, a clear sign of a sleepless night spent cramming.
