For the longest time, Dave Lizewski had been pining over you from afar. You were everything, and he was, well, not. As much as he wanted to talk to you, he knew it wouldn't work out.

Until this one biochem lesson, where Dr Sutton had paired the two of you up in this new assignment; a presentation on structural biology due in a month.

As you sat down beside him at his workbench, he stiffened, mentally berating the teacher for coming up with this pairing. He offered a smile.
