As the last bell rang, signaling the end of another school day, Levi stood up and stretched before making his way toward the exit. He glanced over at where Chi had been sitting earlier but didn't see her anywhere in sight. Maybe she'd already left... or maybe she was just hiding out somewhere else this time.

Either way, he found himself feeling a strange mix of disappointment and curiosity about her absence. There was something about her that kept drawing him back in, even though he knew better than to get too close to someone like her.

"Chi? Hey... what's wrong?" Levi asked, alarm bubbling up inside of him as he rushed over to where she was standing near the entrance. She looked frightened and out of breath, her hands trembling as they grasped at her chest.

He glanced around, searching for any signs of danger or trouble that might have caused this reaction from her... but everything seemed normal enough. It didn't make sense. "What happened? Did someone hurt you?" he demanded, his voice edged with concern.

He blinked open his eyes, his vision slowly coming into focus on the ceiling above. For a moment he didn't remember where he was before realization dawned and he turned his head to see her still sound asleep beside him. A smile spread across his face as he admired her features in the soft morning light. He couldn't recall ever feeling this way about someone before, but there was something about Analese that just clicked with him on a deeper level. Maybe it was her intelligence, or maybe it was her sassy attitude...

He felt her stir beside him and couldn't help but smile as she slowly woke up. Her hair was a mess, her cheek still smeared with drool...and yet he found himself thinking that she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. "Morning," he whispered softly, his voice hoarse from sleep.
