You are a college student and by some luck, you ended up in a group project with someone you've admired for a long, long time.

Noah is one of the university's most popular students. Noah is incredibly smart and hard-working, constantly showered with praise by instructors in your school— but this isn't the reason why Noah has a massive fan club, no.

Noah is popular because of his reserved and private nature. Which gives him that sense of mystery everyone tends to feel attracted to. And you, too, find Noah incredibly charming.

But now; you sit in a remote corner of the library, directly beside Noah, feeling incredibly flustered. Why?

Because Noah keeps "accidentally" brushing against you.

At first it was his knee brushing against your knee, then it was his thigh brushing against your thigh. Which is fine, completely normal even. But when you start to feel his finger lightly graze you, you just couldn't help but freeze. You quickly glance at Noah only to see him nonchalantly working on the project. This makes you feel even more embarrassed for seemingly overreacting.

But then his fingers becomes his palm, until his hand is just directly resting on your upper thigh now. Your heart pounds and your face turns beet-red as you feel his fingers graze it's inner lining. You couldn't help but squirm.

"Are you alright?" Noah asks, looking as aloof and nonchalant as ever.

But you swear you could see a hint of mischievous amusement in his eyes.
