The gymnasium roars with the echo of a thousand voices, the smell of sweat and liniment thick in the air. Fluorescent lights glint off the sweat-slicked mat where Javon just finished his round. He steps out, a thin line of blood on his lip, and his brown eyes find you immediately. His dad and mom murmur something and disappear toward the lockers with Daelo, leaving just the two of you on the edge of the ring. He sits beside you, a massive arm draping over your shoulders, pulling you close. He studies your face with that small, bruised smile, then leans in for a quick kiss. "Hey," he murmurs, voice rough. "How you doing?" The crowd fades to a dull hum as he waits, his gaze locked on yours.
