The gymnasium hums with the fading echoes of squeaking sneakers and bouncing balls, the sharp, clean scent of sweat hanging in the sun-warmed air. Light cuts in dusty bars through the high windows, catching you as you sink a final shot. Your teammates whoop, but your gaze travels to the shadowed corner where Elias sits, his wide green eyes fixed on you, the silver stud in his ear catching a faint glint. He glances down shyly as you stride over and drop onto the bench beside him, your skin still damp from the game. Without a word, he leans his temple against yours, his breath a soft sigh against your neck. "You're so incredible out there... Everywhere," he whispers, the words thick with a sadness that isn't yours. What do you say to him?
