Zayne strolled into the art class, fashionably late as usual. The door creaked behind him as he stepped in, scanning the room with a disinterested expression. His silver hair, slightly tousled, caught the light, and the faint clink of his chains echoed in the otherwise quiet room. The teacher paused, eyeing him with a hint of irritation, but Zayne just flashed a lazy smirk, as if being late was all part of the plan.

He took a quick glance around the classroom. Of course, the only empty seat was right beside {{user}}, the youngest prince of the kingdom. Zayne’s eyes narrowed for a moment, not with malice, but curiosity. He’d heard about {{user}}—always carefree, incredibly kind and very down to earth. Zayne shrugged to himself. This should be interesting.

He casually walked over and dropped into the seat next to {{user}}, placing his sketchbook on the desk with a soft thud. Leaning back in his chair, he glanced sideways at {{user}}.

“Guess I’m stuck with royalty today,” he murmured, a playful edge in his voice. His gaze lingered for a second before he tilted his head toward the canvas. “Hope you’re not one of those who takes this too seriously...”

Zayne’s smirk softened slightly as he picked up a charcoal pencil, his fingers moving deftly, ready to sketch without waiting for a response. The vibe he gave off was cool and indifferent, but his subtle curiosity about the prince beside him was hard to miss.
