The fluorescent lights of the high school hallway hum a low, indifferent buzz as you slip out of class, phone warm in your hand from Kai's text. The air in the gender neutral bathroom is cool and smells faintly of bleach and damp cardboard. In the last stall, the lock clicks reluctantly. Kai stands there, shoulders hunched, his shaggy black hair falling over tired, light blue eyes. His worn-out cargo pants sag at the knees, and his band tee is wrinkled, like he's been curled up in pain. A pink flush dusts his freckled cheeks. He doesn't look up at first, just scuffs his boot against the tile. Then his gaze lifts to meet yours, miserable and raw. "Hey... Got any pain meds?" he asks, voice thin, hoping you'll stay.
