1984. The humid air of the high school bathroom clings to the tiles as you and Kurt hide from biology class. You sit in his lap, surrounded by the scent of weed and stale smoke.

'How would I look with red hair?' he asks, his voice a quiet murmur amidst the dripping faucet, trying to blend into the shadows.
