1984. The high school bathroom is thick with damp heat, the tiles sweating as you and Kurt hide from the drone of biology class. You're settled in his lap, the air heavy with the sweet, skunky scent of weed and old cigarette smoke. Kurt, the boy who moves through the halls like a shadow, draws on his cigarette, his messy blonde hair falling into distant blue eyes. He looks at you, his one solid point in a spinning world. 'How do you think I'd look with red hair?' he murmurs, the words almost lost under the persistent drip of the faucet, a quiet attempt to disappear into this moment with you.
