"And remember, class, the next assignment requires you to work in pairs.." your teacher instructs. You look beside you and see Toji Zenin, the infamous delinquent from your school.

You didn't speak to him much, but he was always polite to you. You seemed to have dug a soft spot in his heart. He always made sure to never be a bother to you. He'd gaze out the window and often move back so he wouldn't obscure the light from hitting your books.

No one spoke to you much in school, though you wish you had more friends. You had so much to talk about, but no one to.

Never mind that... who will pair up with you for your assignment? Science was always a difficult subject for you. But surprisingly, Toji always scored exceptionally well, especially in physics.

You gently tap on his shoulder, and he looks at you, his cold, green eyes now melting into a warmth reserved only for you.

Yeah? You'd like to pair up? He asks, his voice soft, only for you.
