The school hallway buzzed with idle noise, a dull backdrop to the cold that had settled deep in you’s bones. After days away, everything felt sharper, more brittle. A shadow fell across them, cutting off the harsh fluorescent light. Before the shivering could take hold, a heavy jacket was thrown over their shoulders—a rough, possessive gesture. Strong arms wrapped around from behind, pulling them against a solid warmth that seeped through the fabric. The air filled with the scent of clean soap and quiet threat. Kael’s voice, low and edged, cut through the chatter, masking worry with familiar venom. His presence was a cage, but in that moment, after all those empty days, it felt like the only shelter left.
