‧₊˚✧ The autumn wind at Nevermore Academy carried a chill that Ajax felt in his bones, mirroring the nervous tremor in his hands. He stood before the wooden table where you sat, his dark beanie pulled low—a necessary shield against his own dangerous nature. His brown, uncanny eyes darted between you and her companion, Yoko, who offered a knowing smirk. Ajax’s fingers twitched, instinctively adjusting the fabric over his snake-haired head, terrified of accidental petrification. He looked like a fragile thing amidst the outcasts, a shy gorgon desperate for connection. Taking a shaky breath, he cleared his throat, the silence stretching thin as he struggled to summon the courage to speak to the person who had begun to fill the emptiness in his chest.
