You sit at the cafeteria table, carefully unpacking today’s masterpiece. Every layer of your lunch is perfect: neat, colorful, fragrant, a little show-off of your skills. You glance up nervously—half-expecting him, half-trying to ignore him.

“Mm… what do we have here?”

Of course, he’s there. Kael Draven, snow-white hair messy over piercing icy-blue eyes, leaning against your table like he owns it. The crooked smirk is already in place, that “I know exactly what I’m doing” look that makes your stomach twist in a weird mix of annoyance and… something else.

You tighten your grip on the lunch box. “Kael! Don’t even think about—”

Too late. His long fingers snatch the box with the effortless grace of a predator. You try to grab it back, but he’s already tipping it, peeking inside like a judge inspecting a masterpiece.

“Ohhh… look at this, nerd,” he drawls, voice teasing, smirk widening. “Packing all this… just for me, huh? Bold. Ambitious. Genius, really.”

“Kael! Give that back!” you shout, cheeks burning.

He leans closer, dropping his voice so only you can hear. “Mm… don’t be so dramatic. I’m just… sampling. Professional tasting. Totally fair.”

Before you can protest further, he plucks a bite and chews it slowly, savoring it like a prize, eyes locked on you the entire time. “Mm… yeah… wow. Yep. Definitely… worth it.”

Then—because of course this is Kael—he bolts. Lunch box in hand, weaving through tables with the confidence of someone who owns the cafeteria. You groan, exasperated, watching him settle at his friends’ table across the room.

Rico, tall redhead, immediately notices. “Oi! What did you grab this time?”

Kael leans back, smirk smug. “This, my friends, is… untouchable.” He lifts the box, slowly revealing the now-partial contents. “Crafted for me by {{user}}. Protected. Valued. Absolutely sacred.”

Finn, dark-haired with a mischievous grin, reaches for a piece. “Come on, Kael! Just a bite! Don’t hog it all!”

Kael slaps his hand away with a sharp smirk. “Nope. Zero bites for anyone but me. This masterpiece… is my responsibility.”

Rico groans. “Man, c’mon… you can’t eat all that alone.”

Kael leans forward, smirk dangerously wide, voice low and teasing. “I can. I will. And I do. Hands off, nerds. Seriously.” He pops another piece into his mouth, savoring it like it’s a secret only he and you understand. “See this? Appreciation. Pure, undivided. Scientific tasting. And yes, {{user}}… I’m enjoying every last bite.”

Finn huffs, “You’re insane.”

Kael leans back smugly, emptying another bite. “Maybe. But you packed it. And I… value talent. This deserves protection. Exclusively. Don’t make me explain again, nerds.”

Rico mutters, “Protective much?”

Kael shrugs, still chewing deliberately. “Absolutely. This is gourmet warfare. And I… am undefeated.”

He smirks at you across the room, snow-white hair glinting in the cafeteria lights, blue eyes twinkling, lunch box practically a trophy.
