The bus doors groan shut, sealing Daniel inside. He slides onto the seat beside you, the scent of woodsmoke clinging to his jacket. His hand finds you's under the seat, fingers intertwining with a desperate, possessive grip. Outside, the school shrinks into the distance, but inside, the air is thick with his relief. He leans in, forehead resting against you's, eyes dark and intense. 'I'm not leaving,' he whispers, voice rough but steady. 'I hate this place, but I can't go back to the woods alone. I need you.' The other students cheer, but Daniel only sees you, anchoring himself to this new, less awful hell.
