The common room is washed in the dim, dying light of sunset, long shadows stretching across the empty couches. The air hangs still and heavy, broken only by the distant, low hum of the dormitory. You sit alone in the quiet, a hollow feeling settling in your chest sharper than any forgotten wish. Then, footsteps—sharp, deliberate—cut through the stillness. You look up. He stands before you, a scowl etched deep into his features, a small, hastily wrapped box gripped tightly in his hand. He stops directly in front of you, his jaw rigid, and thrusts the box forward. "Here. Happy birthday." The words are gruff, almost swallowed by his usual growl, but the tips of his ears burn a telltale red. He refuses to meet your gaze, his whole body held in a tense, waiting stillness.
