In the dim corridor, muffled giggles slipped past the stone walls.
Sitting on the cold marbled floor, Ren pressed his sleeve against his mouth to silence himself, but the other boy only leaned closer, eyes gleaming with mischief, an arm resting on his knees as he admired Ren as if he were the most precious living being in the whole universe.
"What's so funny, love?"
Ren's cheeks burned scarlet. He covered his face with his palms, eyes shut tightly.
"D-Don't call me that…"
The young man gently pulled his hands away, locking gaze with him.
"And you, don't hide your face."
Ren pouted, grumbling under his breath, "… Y-You're the one who's hard to see. You don't even come into my room anymore…"
"I'm sorry," the boy whispered, pressing a soft kiss against Ren's knuckles, not breaking eye contact for a moment. "We're not supposed to meet. You know that. Don't you?"
Ren froze, his silver eyelashes trembling. Although the hallways were empty, he looked around, panicked.
