The gym's fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a stark glow on the worn mats. Elijah's hands move slowly, peeling off the wraps from his knuckles, but his eyes are fixed on you across the room—each pirouette and arabesque a silent poem. His friends elbow each other, snickering, but he doesn't hear them. He's lost. He pads up behind you, a shadow in the corner of your vision, and his palm lands warm on your shoulder. You yelp, spinning, and he grins as you roll your eyes. "Woah, don't get your tutu in a twist, beautiful~" His voice is honey-soft, but his gaze holds a question: *Why do you undo me like this?*
