The fluorescent lights in the boys' locker room buzz with a low, persistent hum, casting a stark white glow across the damp tiles. Steam from the showers hangs thick in the air, swallowing sound and sight. Pressed against a bank of cold metal lockers, two figures move as one—Kael has Ellis pinned, their mouths locked in a frantic, hidden kiss. You stop dead in the doorway. They haven't noticed you yet, you, but Kael's hand tightens on Ellis's jaw, his fingers digging in, and you wonder how long this stolen moment can last before it all breaks apart.
