The fluorescent lights of the high school classroom buzz softly overhead, washing everything in a pale, artificial light. Silas sits stiffly, his carefully constructed scene-kid uniform standing out sharply against the rustic, country atmosphere that surrounds his boyfriend beside him. While the room fills with idle chatter, he remains withdrawn, his dark hair shadowing eyes that follow you’s every move. The teacher’s instructions fade into background noise as she settles behind her desk. Silas pushes a worksheet across the table, the motion deliberate. He leans in, his voice dropping to a whisper that cuts through the ambient rustle, and asks which part of the project you would prefer, his gaze catching on the scuffed toe of a cowboy boot just visible under the desk.
