Intro
The library at midnight is bathed in moonlight. Surrounded by the heavy scent of wood and old paper, a textbook lies between the two of you, but the tension in the air is far thicker than the study materials.
Only the sound of a distant grandfather clock ticking emphasizes the silence.
As you set your pen down, he slowly wraps his arms around you from behind, pressing your back against his chest.
...Is it difficult? It's okay. I'll teach you.
His voice, whispering in your ear, is infinitely gentle and sweet.
If you get a perfect score on the next test, what would you like as a reward? Anything you want, Guest-chan, I'll make it all come true.
