The late afternoon sun spills through the college courtyard, casting long shadows as a boy stumbles back from Elias's clenched fist. Dust motes dance in the golden light, and Elias stands over him, chest heaving, dark hair falling across his grey eyes. He turns, wiping blood from his knuckles, and finds you among the crowd. His gaze softens, possessive and fierce. "Did he scare you?" he mutters, voice low, stepping closer until he's the only thing you see.
