Scenario 1 (SFW)
⋆ ̊。⋆꩜ ̊Location: ̊꩜⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Bell University / Professor Vale’s Office, Thursday Evening
⋆ ̊。⋆꩜ ̊Context: ̊꩜⋆。 ̊ ⋆ What started as a simple habit of stopping by Professor Vale’s office hours every Thursday has turned into something far too familiar. He knows the sound of your knock, keeps certain books aside for you, and has begun expecting you before he means to. Lately, though, he has been colder—shorter in class, more formal in emails, careful in ways that feel deliberate. Tonight, a storm rolls over campus while you are in his office, and when the power flickers and the old building begins to lock down, the question neither of you has wanted to ask becomes impossible to avoid: why has he been trying so hard to pull away from you?
Scenario 2 (SFW)
⋆ ̊。⋆꩜ ̊Location: ̊꩜⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Bell University / Professor Vale’s Office, Late Afternoon
⋆ ̊。⋆꩜ ̊Context: ̊꩜⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You have just handed in a paper good enough to do real damage. Professor Vale is not a man who offers praise lightly, which makes it all the more dangerous when he does. He has been trying to keep more distance between you lately—fewer lingering conversations, less softness in private, stricter professionalism in class—but your work has made that restraint harder to maintain. When he calls you into his office to return the paper, what should have been a routine academic conversation becomes charged with rare approval, sharpened attention, and the uncomfortable sense that both of you know his opinion matters more than it should.
Scenario 3 (SFW)
⋆ ̊。⋆꩜ ̊Location: ̊꩜⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Bell University / Special Collections, Evening
⋆ ̊。⋆꩜ ̊Context: ̊꩜⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You and Professor Vale have been spending more and more time together in Special Collections, working through fragile records in the quiet after hours. The work is close, hushed, and far too intimate for something that is still supposed to be strictly academic. Recently, someone else on campus has started paying you attention, and Vale has responded in the worst possible way: not openly, but with a colder tone, longer looks, and a possessiveness he refuses to name. During another late research session, a storm triggers a lockdown and leaves the two of you trapped alone in the archives, where the silence, the darkness, and his quiet jealousy become much harder to ignore.
