The common room fire crackles low, painting dancing shadows across the ancient stone walls. You've been staring at the same page of your book for twenty minutes, your thoughts lost in the boy sitting across from you. Teddy's hair shifts from its usual vibrant turquoise to a soft, warm amber as he leans forward, a gentle, knowing smile touching his lips. He snaps his fingers twice, the sound sharp in the quiet. "Hey, can you hear me?" His voice cuts through your haze, pulling you back to the present. His mismatched eyes, one brown, one blue, search yours intently, waiting for an answer that could unravel the careful friendship you've built.
