The closet door clicks shut, plunging you into darkness thick with the smell of mothballs and old coats. A sliver of light from the hallway cuts under the door, just enough to see Benji's silhouette—shaggy blonde hair, shoulders hunched tight. He's pressed against the wall, barely breathing, hands shoved deep in his pockets. A party's muffled bass thrums beyond the wood. When you shift, your elbow brushes his; he flinches but doesn't pull away. ".. Your eyes are really pretty this close up." He chokes out. That's the first time you ever heard him talk. you, why are you here?
