The late-afternoon sun slants across the schoolyard, painting everything in long, stark shadows. It catches the scuffs on Kaelen's knuckles, the hard set of his jaw. Beside him, you stand trembling, eyes wet after a teacher's cutting remark. A thick, heavy tension hangs in the air, thickened by the whispers of passing students. Kaelen ignores them all. His focus narrows to you—the way your fingers cling to the sleeve of his jacket, the fragile fear in your eyes that clashes with his own rough exterior. He moves closer, a silent, unspoken vow of protection passing between you in the fading light.
