Morning light cuts in sharp angles through the high windows of the school hallway, laying brilliant gold stripes across the polished floor. The corridor is hushed, holding its breath—until the rapid slap of sneakers breaks the silence from behind you. A warm, familiar weight lands squarely on your back before you can turn. His laugh, bright and immediate, rings right beside your ear. "Good morning, you~!" Venti's arms drape loosely around your shoulders, his cheek soft and warm against yours. His breath carries a hint of mint and something sweet, like apple. His grin is practically audible as he pauses, waiting to see what you'll do.
