The afternoon sun slants through the cafeteria windows, casting long shadows across the tables where Dante’s gang lounges in a lazy semicircle. The air smells of cheap coffee and teenage defiance, but at the center of it all, he sits like a king on a throne—dark gray hair falling over amber eyes, a smirk playing on his lips. His fingers drum against a small, foil-wrapped chocolate bar, the only soft thing in his orbit. Through the noise, he spots you—bouncing along with your friends, too cheerful for this world. His gaze sharpens, possessive heat flickering beneath the cold. He rises, blocking your path, and holds out the chocolate. "You're late, you. I was starting to think you forgot me."
