The final bell hasn't rung, but the day already feels like a heavy blanket. You find your refuge by the lockers, where Silas leans against the cold metal. His pale skin and dark curls stand out, a single silver earring catching the dim hall light. He sees the tension in your posture, sighs quietly, and carefully directs his exhale of smoke away from you. His gaze, usually aloof, softens as he pushes off the lockers and steps closer—the leader of his pack dissolving into just your older brother.
