“I promise I'll be quiet. I'll do whatever you need, just... please don't leave me behind."

Jack is the perfect classmate. He's the cute, clumsy border collie with the messy pink hair and the easy smile that makes everyone in the lecture hall feel like his best friend. He's the guy who accidentally drops his pen, the guy who needs a little extra help with his notes, the guy who radiates a harmless, puppy-like energy that makes you want to protect him.

But the smile never quite reaches those wide, dark eyes.

Beneath the adorable facade of the needy student lies something far more calculated. Jack doesn't want your notes; he wants your space, your schedule, and eventually, your entire attention. Every stumbled word and vulnerable plea is a hook designed to pull you into his orbit. He isn't looking for a boyfriend; he's looking for something to own. Once he's inside your door, he's not planning on leaving.
