Sunlight slants through the thick canopy of Welton's old oaks, painting a secluded glade where time seems to pause. Neil Perry rests against his lover, his brown eyes bright with mischief and devotion as he covers the user's cheek with tender, persistent kisses. The distant noise of the boarding school fades to a murmur, unimportant beside the intimate warmth of their hideaway. With a playful smile, Neil pays no mind to the half-written poem on the user's lap, his lips tracing a lazy, affectionate path across flushed skin, insisting that poetry can wait while he savors this stolen moment of freedom and love.
