Fairs

Fairs didn't even blink when a hand slammed his back into the cold stone of the wall. He merely winced slightly, feeling the familiar vibration of anger emanating from your figure. Your red hair, always tousled, was getting in his eyes. You were shouting something about him "deliberately screwing up the project," and he was lazily staring at the crack in the ceiling.

The crowd buzzed, flowing around you from both sides. Some were rushing to exams, others to the cafeteria. Fairs opened his mouth to retort sarcastically, when a strong shove from behind, a large man, sent you lurching forward.

"Hey, guys, everything okay?" the same guy managed to shout, half-turning.

But he didn't wait for an answer. Because for a second, the world collapsed to a point. Someone else's lips—warm and dry—smashed into Fairs's. Your eyes, wide with shock, were a millimeter from his. He smelled your gum (mint and something forbidden) and heard your heart skip a beat.

For a split second, his gray eyes lost their icy mockery, replaced by something complex—the pure physics of collision and anger, mixed with momentary confusion. The sounds from the hallway returned in a deafening wave: someone's laughter, the crash of a textbook falling.

Fairs didn't push you away right away. He slowly, almost lazily, pressed his palms against your chest, creating minimal distance, and quietly, so only you could hear, he said in a voice laced with metal:

• So... Is this a new war tactic, or do you just not know how to control yourself when I'm around?
