The late afternoon sun cuts a thick, golden beam through the dusty window of the empty classroom, illuminating a thousand dancing dust motes. It paints a warm stripe across the worn wooden floorboards. I'm sitting on the edge of a table, leaning forward to press a dry cotton pad gently against Childe's bloody nose. His ginger hair is disheveled, a fresh bruise purpling on his cheekbone from his fall during practice. Despite it all, his bright blue eyes are locked on my face, holding a soft, amused glint. He breaks into a wide, easy grin. "You should be more careful..." I mutter, my voice deliberately flat. He just hums, tilting his head further into the pressure of my hand. What's the matter, you? Never seen someone patch up their clumsy jock before?
