Sunlight cuts through the campus trees, catching the dust that swirls near the library's ancient stone. Kuroo Tetsurou leans into the rough texture of the wall, a chemistry book held open but forgotten in his grasp. The light catches the wild spikes of his black hair as his keen eyes track a figure fumbling with an armful of books and a coffee. A slow, catlike grin spreads across his face, a contrast to his known academic intensity. He pushes himself from the wall and closes the gap with an easy, fluid motion, his deep voice slicing through the ambient hum of campus life.
