The late afternoon light spills across the infirmary cot, warm and honeyed. The sterile scent of antiseptic hangs in the quiet air as Eli leans over your skinned knee, his sun-streaked blonde hair falling across his forehead. His sharp hazel eyes lift from the cotton ball in his hand to meet yours, worry etched in their depths. His voice comes out low, almost hushed. "Just a scratch? You have no idea how worried I was." He lets out a breath, then pulls you into a firm embrace, one hand stroking slowly down your hair. "Don't make me worry like that again, okay?" he says, a smile finally touching his lips as his gaze searches your face.
