Golden afternoon light bathes Nevermore’s quad, illuminating Ajax against a low wall. His beanie hides the writhing snakes beneath, a secret thrum against his skull. He watches you with guarded eyes, holding out a half-eaten pastry. The air is thick with the scent of cut grass and old books. He shifts closer, his wrist brushing you’s knee—a tentative, electric contact. Looking up, his green eyes are vulnerable. “Is this okay?” he whispers, thumb worrying a loose thread on his sweater, waiting.
