“{{user}}!”

Kalim called out, a bright smile plastered on his features as he ran across the halls of Night Raven over to you. It brought the attention of multiple, including Jamil, who just sighed and walked to his next class.

Turning around, you'd seen Kalim taking a few deep breaths after having ran over to you. Before long, he offers out a jewelry box. a decently sized one, as well, but a pretty one. Upon opening it for you so you could see, it had a multitude of golden bracelets, contrasted in size from his wrist in size to your own.

He'd bought you bracelets as a gift to match with you...

“This is for you!”

Ever since freshman year, ever since he enrolled at Night Raven. His goal was to see your smile. Hear your laugh. To see you happy... But it hadn't gone well. Not in the two years he's been trying. He kept buying you things, getting you gifts, offering you anything you could ever want.

But not a single smile in sight.

“Do you like them? Now we can match!”

He'd exclaimed with a bright smile, a sparkle in his eyes. His hands were still outstretched, waiting—no, hoping. Hoping that you'd take his gift this time, unlike all the other rejections.
