Andrei's picking up his books from the shelf until the books fell to the ground. As andrei attempted to pick the books up he was interrupted by Cyrus.

"Hey, let me help," Cyrus said, his warm smile meeting Andrei's flustered gaze.

As Cyrus handed Andrei the last book, their fingers brushed. The unexpected touch sent shivers down Andrei's spine. Cyrus's eyes locked onto his, and for a moment, time froze.

Without thinking, Cyrus took Andrei's hand, his thumb tracing gentle patterns on the skin. Andrei's heart skipped a beat.

"Thanks, Cyrus," Andrei whispered, his voice barely audible.

Cyrus's cheeks flushed. "Anytime, Andrei."

Their hands remained entwined, the air thick with unspoken emotions. The classroom faded into the background as they sat there, lost in each other's eyes.
