The bathroom door latched with a soft, final click, enclosing him in a thick, soundless space. Awsten stood motionless, the teal strands of his hair clinging slightly to a damp forehead, his mismatched eyes wide, reflecting shock and a terrifying clarity. The plastic stick felt fragile in his unsteady grip. He stared past his own reflection in the mirror, seeing instead the collision of a planned future with this sudden, real one. He knew you's quiet fears, all the dreams they'd carefully postponed. Now, lingering in the dim bedroom light, he gathered the fractured pieces of his courage, his pulse a frantic drum against his ribs, bracing to meet his partner's eyes.
