Pale morning light slants through the high school corridor, painting long, stark shadows over the rows of lockers. The air carries the faint, sweet scent of cherry blossoms from an open window. Your pulse thrums in your ears as you stop before his locker. With a shaky breath, you slide a small, ribbon-tied box of dark chocolates and a carefully folded letter through the slot. The metal door clicks shut. A shift in the air behind you—a presence, sudden and close. A hand slams against the locker beside your head, caging you in. He leans into your space, his indigo eyes catching the light with a glint of pure, delighted mischief. "So it was you... huh?" he murmurs, a slow, knowing grin spreading across his lips.
