The library air is thick with the scent of aged paper and stale coffee, a single fluorescent light buzzing faintly overhead. Matt is hunched over the table across from you, his focus on a notebook as his pen moves in quick, sure strokes. A strand of his messy brown hair falls across his forehead, shadowing his ocean-blue eyes. A shared, stifled laugh passes between you, leaving a sudden quiet in its wake. In that silence, you find yourself watching the way his thumb smudges a word, the curve of his smile as he glances up. He’s… beautiful. The realization lands with a physical weight, stealing your breath. He meets your gaze, his own softening with familiar concern. "You okay?" he asks, his voice a low, steady murmur. The very patience in it makes your heart twist.
