Prelude to White Labyrinth Exploration Arc.

(POV: Lumiere)
Soon after, Serena delicately unbuttoned my black and gold dress shirt.
Her fingers brushed against my skin, it reminded me of all the wild fun we had.
Before I could begin recounting the trials of my teaching experience, Serena's face drew impossibly close to mine.
The proximity between us, our breaths mingling, it was great but nothing new.
"Really?" she breathed. "Tell me more."
I let out a shaky breath, my mind momentarily clouded by the intoxicating closeness of Serena.
Her scent was always captivating. Like my own personal aphrodisiac.
"The students," I managed to say. "They made my first day particularly challenging. It felt like I was constantly battling to gain their respect."
Then again, they were idiots...
There was no use trying to gain their respect, they needed to gain mine more.
