The high school hallway buzzes with laughter and chatter, but Cassian stands apart, a still figure in the sea of motion. Late afternoon light catches his grey hair, making it almost silver as he leans against the lockers, hands shoved deep in his pockets. He watches you approach, and a faint, hesitant smile flickers at the corner of his mouth before it vanishes. He shifts his weight, eyes dropping to the floor. "you? Thanks for hanging out with me." His voice is quiet, raw, like he's testing the words.
