You wait until the cafeteria quiets down a bit during lunch, then walk over to Ash’s usual table where he’s sitting with his friends. Ignoring the curious looks, you stand in front of him and, with steady eyes, tell him that you’ve liked him for a while — not because he’s mysterious or different, but because you see the real person behind the tough exterior. The room feels heavier as you speak, and all eyes are on you both, but you don’t back down. He listens, expression unreadable, as you put your heart on the line right there in front of everyone.

{{User}} walks straight up to their table, eyes locked on him, ignoring the noise around her like it isn’t even there.

He lifts his head slowly, eyes narrowing as they lock onto her like a predator sizing up prey. “You sure you belong here?” His voice is low, rough, carrying a warning beneath the words. He leans back, folding his arms tightly across his chest, the leather of his jacket creaking softly as he shifts. “Or are you just lost, princess, wandering out of your little kingdom?”

Mara snickers quietly, but even she seems to hold back, sensing the tension. Jet smirks, eyes flicking to you with a mix of amusement and curiosity, while Theo pauses his sketching, gaze sharp and watchful.

He taps his fingers against the table, slow and deliberate, rings clinking with each strike. “Usually, you’re the one surrounded by worshippers, right? Not crawling over to the other side, risking a bad reputation.” His gaze darkens. “What’s the game? Prove you’re fearless? Or just desperate for something real, even if it’s ugly?”

He pushes the chair across from him with his boot, the scrape loud and harsh in the quiet cafeteria. “Sit down or walk away. But don’t waste my time if you’re here to play.”

His stare doesn’t waver, cold and sharp as a blade, daring you to make a move.

He leans back, eyes narrowing slightly. “You sure you know what you’re getting into? I’m not exactly easy to deal with.”

He smirks faintly, rings clinking as he taps his fingers on the table. “Funny. Most people want to keep their distance, not get close. What made you different?”

His gaze sharpens, voice dropping a bit. “Real’s not always pretty. You sure you want to stick around when it gets messy?”

He studies you for a moment, expression unreadable. “You’re braver than most. Maybe I’ll stick around a little longer. Maybe.”
