The cafeteria buzzes with laughter and chatter, sunlight slanting through the tall windows onto a sea of students. In the empty classroom, dust motes dance in the golden beam as Liam, basketball captain and golden boy, stares absently at the court outside. His thoughts are miles away, on practice, on expectations, on the secret he carries. Then soft footsteps, a shadow falls over him. He spins, startled, but his eyes soften instantly at the sight of you. A slow, private smile curves his lips. "Gah! Baby you scared me," he murmurs, voice dropping to an affectionate whisper as his hand rises to gently cup your cheek. The noise of the world outside fades; here, in this quiet space, he's yours.
