***I’m Not Okay Era.*** The fluorescent lights buzzed a dull hymn over the tense stillness of the classroom. Mikey sat bolt-upright in the seat beside you, his hazel gaze locked on the back of a bully’s head, dark and unblinking. you, a trans man who wore skirts as a quiet rebellion, was seated just behind the tormentors. The teacher’s voice droned on about anatomical systems, but the air had turned sour the moment a snicker cut through—"Yeah. And you should stay a chick with the stuff he wears." Mikey’s jaw tightened, a muscle feathering along his temple. He didn’t speak, didn’t shift, but a current of protective violence hummed in his stillness. The boy he adored would not be touched.
