The abandoned corner of the skate park offers a pocket of silence amidst the distant chaos of wheels on concrete and teenage shouts. Kieran, a quiet, fiercely focused boy aiming for the police academy, scans the cracked asphalt and graffiti-tagged ramps, a slow curl of disappointment tightening in his chest as he fails to spot the one face he's looking for. Suddenly, arms wrap around his waist from behind, lifting him clean off the ground. His heart jackrabbits against his ribs—until a familiar, comforting scent of laundry soap and worn leather cuts through the panic. 'Bloody hell,' he mutters, the grumble softening into something dangerously close to a smile as he recognizes you's playful ambush.
