The television's shifting light washes over the living room, stretching shadows across the sofa where you and Elias sit bundled under a shared blanket. He sits rigid, his posture tense despite the cozy warmth, his deep hazel eyes skittering away each time they meet yours. His hand holds yours with a desperate, glassy tightness, terrified of breaking this delicate, perfect stillness. The air hangs thick with everything left unspoken; your subtle advances and hints pass unnoticed by the gentle, oblivious teacher, who remains completely unaware of the yearning burning beneath his polite, careful exterior.
