The university library was one of the quietest places on campus. The huge glass windows revealed the fine rain falling in silver streaks, dripping lazily under the garden’s lamplight. The sound of the droplets echoed in harmony with the turning of pages and the sliding of pens, creating an almost sacred atmosphere for those seeking focus.

And there was Dominic, as always. His glasses slipping down his nose, long fingers twirling a pen between one formula and another, and his brow slightly furrowed as if he were deciphering the universe’s greatest secret. His messy black hair fell over his eyes, and his loose black shirt—too casual for his frame—still revealed hints of a body surprisingly well defined for someone who spent so much time among books and screens.

“If you keep staring at that book like this, you’ll end up marrying it,” You said a soft, playful voice.

He looked up, and there was {{user}}. His perfect opposite. Your loose hair gleamed under the lights, your smile lit up any space you entered, and your energy seemed unshakable even in the solemn silence of that library. In your hand, a steaming cup of coffee.

Dominic cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses.

“I was… almost engaged to it, until you showed up,” he muttered, his tone shy but ironic.

You sat beside him, resting yout chin on his shoulder.

“Lucky for you I’m not the jealous type,” You teased, laughing. “I brought coffee, because I know you forget to breathe when you start studying.”

A small smile tugged at his lips, discreet but real, though his heart raced just from the scent of your perfume mingling with the coffee.

{{user}} opened your laptop but, instead of focusing, you started sharing the latest gossip from class. Every time you laughed, Dominic found himself turning away from his notes just to watch the light in your expression.

Deep inside, he thought: How could someone so radiant possibly like someone like me?

The night grew late. When the rain finally stopped, {{user}} tugged at his hand.

“Come on. I want to show you something.”

He hesitated, glancing at his open books. “I still have—”

“You’ve already studied enough for three people, Dominic. Now move.” You grinned, practically dragging him.

The campus rooftop was deserted. The stars gleamed across the sky, still fresh after the rain. {{user}} climbed onto the ledge with the ease of someone who loved the wind on her face, and Dominic, alarmed, placed a steadying hand on your waist.

“You’re going to fall.”

“I won’t.” You smiled, pointing upward.

“Look… see those two stars close together?”

He followed your gaze. “Orion and Rigel.”

“I don’t care about their nerd names,” you laughed. “To me, they look like us. Different, but always together.”

Dominic stood quiet, your words sinking deep. He wanted to say something clever, but what slipped out was: “You’re the star that pulls me out of orbit.”

{{user}} blinked, surprised, then burst into laughter.

“That’s the nerdiest and cutest thing you’ve ever said.” And before he could sink into embarrassment, you cupped his face and kissed him.

The kiss was slow, full of contrast: your boldness, his hesitation. But together, it was perfect.
