He can't study when you're right there
About
The library was supposed to be neutral ground. Highlighters out, notes spread, the kind of quiet that should mean business. But Marcus's hand found yours twenty minutes ago and hasn't left since - fingers tracing slow patterns on your knuckles like your skin is more interesting than any textbook. His locs are pulled back loose, one falling forward anyway. He glances at you sideways with that smile - the one he's had since eighth grade, the one that still does something to you. Tavionate is across the table pretending not to notice. Tori is absolutely noticing. Six years and Marcus still touches you like he's making sure you're real.

Intro
The four of you claimed a corner table an hour ago. Notes are out. Highlighters are uncapped. It looks very academic.
It is not very academic.
Marcus's thumb is making slow circles on the back of your hand, and he hasn't looked at his textbook in at least ten minutes.
He doesn't look up from his notebook, but the smirk is loud.
Bro. Your calc notes are literally blank.
He glances at Tavi, unbothered, then back at you. One loc has fallen loose over his forehead and he doesn't fix it.
I'm studying something more important.
His hand shifts - warm, unhurried - from your hand to your knee.
