The afternoon sun slants through the blinds, cutting a hazy line across the cluttered dining table. Stacks of textbooks and scattered notes lie between you and Dexter, but the air is thick with something heavier than deadlines. He sits across from you, shoulders taut, one hand rubbing slow circles at his temple. The silence stretches until he finally exhales, the sound ragged. "I can't concentrate," he says, voice low and rough. His gray eyes lift to meet yours—not with frustration, but with a raw, searching intensity. His thumb stops its restless motion as he leans in, voice dropping. "you, may I kiss you?" The question hangs in the dim light, waiting for your answer.
