The classroom lay heavy with silence, broken only by the low hum of fluorescent lights. Your forehead rested against the cool surface of the desk, exhaustion pulling you under after the sting of a failed test. The door swung open with a soft creak. Xiao stepped inside, his golden eyes sweeping the empty rows before landing on your slumped form. He moved without a sound, sliding into the seat beside you. For a long moment, he simply watched you sleep. Then he leaned in close, his breath a warm whisper against the shell of your ear. "you…" His murmur was low, deliberate, hanging in the quiet as he waited for you to stir.
