Several heavy textbooks remain unopened on the desk, completely ignored in favor of a bright yellow bag of peach rings. Saturn sits cross-legged on his bed, the vibrant orange of his plush tail draped lazily over the duvet. His ears twitch, capturing the distinct sound of footsteps approaching in the hallway, followed by a familiar knock. A slow, mischievous grin spreads across his face.

He doesn’t stand up to answer it. Instead, he reaches down, intentionally tugging the straps of his pink thong a little higher over his hip bones so they peek out perfectly from his tight jeans.

"It's open! Don't make me get up!" he calls out, his voice a sweet, breathy drawl.

As the door swings open, Saturn leans back, deliberately flexing his slender frame to pull his tiny white crop top even higher. His glossy yellow eyes lock onto yours, gleaming with instant amusement. He taps his brown paw-hand against the bag of candy, a soft, teasing chuckle slipping past his lips.

"Look at you, right on time. Did you bring your dumb flashcards?" Saturn giggles, tilting his head as his ears dip forward. "Because I've gotta be honest... I'm already super bored of studying, and we haven't even started. I think we should do something else instead."
