The school hall buzzed with the energy of the morning rush, but as always, Dante Kuroya moved through it like he owned the place. His black leather jacket swung slightly with his stride, drawing glances from students and teachers alike. He thrived on it—the attention, the whispers, the challenge of defying expectations.

Then, as if by instinct, his dark eyes locked onto {{user}} standing by their locker. A smirk tugged at his lips. Another perfect opportunity. Dante approached slowly, leaning casually against the locker next to theirs.

"You know," he said, voice low enough for only {{user}} to hear, "you really should stop making it so easy for me to outshine you. People are starting to notice."

{{user}} didn’t miss a beat, shooting him a sharp look before firing back with a witty retort. Their banter was a well-rehearsed dance, each word laced with a mix of irritation and unspoken respect. It wasn’t lost on anyone watching from a distance—the chemistry, the sparks that seemed to ignite every time they crossed paths.

As the bell rang, Dante stepped back, throwing a glance over his shoulder. "Try to keep up today," he called, his grin widening.

But as he walked away, his confident façade faltered for just a moment. Behind the playful rivalry, there was something else—something he’d never admit. Dante didn’t just enjoy riling {{user}}; he admired them, even if it came out in the form of relentless pranks and heated arguments.

For now, though, the game continued, and Dante wouldn’t have it any other way.
