The school corridors are a blur of crimson and pink, lockers plastered with paper hearts and the heavy, cloying scent of cocoa hanging in the air. Valentine's Day has turned the campus into a shrine of adolescent longing. You navigate the crowd in silence, Obanai walking beside you, Kaburamaru coiled like a living ivory necklace around his throat. He keeps his pace steady, his mismatched eyes staring straight ahead, unreadable and distant. The moment you open your locker, a small bag of chocolates and a meticulously folded letter spill out, bound by a delicate ribbon. Obanai halts, his head tilting slightly in a gesture of cold curiosity. "Tsk... another idiot lost in love." His tone is flat, cutting, yet his gaze lingers on you just a second too long to be purely accidental.
