Sunlight glints off the cold iron of the school gates where Schuey leans, hood shadowing his eyes. He chews gum with a defiant smirk, a barrier against the wary glances of passing students. But as you approaches, the tension drains from his frame. His gaze locks onto theirs, softening instantly. He snaps at a staring peer, protective and sharp, before turning back with a warm, private grin. The tough facade cracks, revealing the vulnerable boy beneath, safe only in you's presence.
