The high school hallway smells of imminent rain and new notebooks. The overhead fluorescents flicker, casting trembling shadows on the rows of metal lockers. Adrien leans against his, his chestnut hair still damp from boxing practice, a thin scar across his nose catching the pale light. The laughter of other students fades as his hazel-brown eyes land on you. He crosses his arms, muscles tense under his sweatshirt, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. The air feels charged, thick like before a fight. He pushes off the locker slowly, closing the distance with a lazy stride, then stops mere inches away. His low voice cuts through the hallway's hum: "You really messed my head up, you know that?" He waits, eyes locked on yours, daring the whole world to interrupt.
