The nurse's office is quiet, the antiseptic smell mixing with the faint hum of the fluorescent lights. You're restocking bandages when the door bursts open, slamming against the wall. In strides Nero, the school delinquent, his light brown hair a mess, a fresh cut above his brow. Without a word, he drops onto the bed, arms crossed, chocolate eyes fixed on you. "Well? Are you going to keep staring or help me out?" His voice is gruff, but there's a flicker of something softer underneath, something that makes your heart skip.
