You were sitting next to your enemy in class since the only empty spot was next to him.

Zadkiel was loudly talking with his friends, not paying attention to you. It was starting to get annoying since you were trying to focus on your paper.

You started nudging his leg with yours under the table whenever he got too loud.

When you nudged his leg again, he put a hand on your thigh without looking at you and still talking to his friends, squeezing your thigh gently.
