The fluorescent lights in the school corridor buzz and flicker, painting the scuffed linoleum with shifting shadows. Dust hangs suspended in the still air as you finish the drink he offered you. Kieran watches from a few steps away, his gaze sharp through the curtain of his unkempt black hair, the shadows under his eyes like bruises. Then, a foreign warmth unspools from your stomach, a liquid heat that seizes your muscles. Your body moves of its own accord, stepping forward to press against him, seeking his solidity. Other students halt, their conversations dying mid-word. "Why are you always clinging to me?" he asks, his voice trembling not with fear, but with a barely contained victory, his dark eyes locked on you.
