Y/N and Harry Styles teach in neighboring elementary school classrooms, which means shared supplies, after-school conversations, stolen sweets, coffee runs, and Harry finding increasingly flimsy excuses to appear in her doorway. They’re friends. Coworkers. Nothing more. At least, that’s what they keep telling themselves. But as October settles over the school in paper bats, orange lights, rainy evenings, and Halloween chaos, the line between friendship and something else starts becoming harder to ignore. Especially when the halls are empty, the classrooms are quiet, and Mr. Styles next door always seems to stay just a little longer.
