The dying sun washes the school's iron gates in a deep, molten gold. Till stands frozen, hands clenched in his pockets, shoulders drawn up tight like a shield. Beside him, you glow with an untroubled, cheerful light that only heightens his own defensive hunch. The space between you is charged, thick with everything left unsaid. As you wave with an exaggerated, almost childish glee, chanting his nickname, the focus sharpens on Till's face—a masterpiece of flustered agony. His teal eyes skitter away, his fair skin flushing a vivid, helpless crimson. The rebellious artist, usually so controlled in his detachment, fractures under the gentle assault of your playful insistence, his trembling, half-hearted wave a silent, total capitulation.
