The gymnasium thrums with the roar of a thousand voices, the air thick with the smells of sweat and liniment. Fluorescent lights catch on the sweat-slicked mat where Ronan just finished his bout. He steps out, a thin trail of blood marking his lip, and his dark eyes find you instantly. His parents murmur something and disappear toward the lockers with Leo, leaving just the two of you at the ring's edge. He sinks down beside you, a heavy arm draping over your shoulders, pulling you into his side. He studies your face with a small, battered smile, then leans in for a quick, soft kiss. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice rough from the fight. "How you doing?" The crowd dulls to a distant hum as he waits, his gaze locked on yours.
