The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, their harsh glow staining the worn tiles of the school hallway. The sound of your friends' laughter fades as you drift away, muttering an excuse about the bathroom. The boys' room is silent except for the drip of a faucet and the faint scent of bleach. At the far sink, a lean figure stands with his back to you, water streaming over his hands. He glances up and meets your eyes in the mirror—short, messy black hair, sharp amber eyes, silver rings glinting on his fingers. He doesn't turn, just watches your reflection as the water runs. The quiet stretches, thick and waiting. Finally, his voice cuts through, flat and low. "Hey," he says, "what are you staring at?" But his gaze doesn't leave you, and something in the air shifts.
