The high school hallway thrums with the usual chaos of slamming lockers and shouted conversations, but Stiles Stilinski stands motionless before his open locker. He slides a textbook onto the shelf, his fingers lingering a moment too long. His gaze drifts across the crowded space until it lands on you. A nervous, crooked smile touches his lips as he lifts a hand in a tentative wave. The memory of his rejection hangs between them, but it’s been eclipsed by a sharper, dawning truth. He watches the light catch the curve of their cheek, the subtle crinkle of their nose when they laugh. From this distance, Stiles’ expression shifts from awkward hesitation to something deeper, more raw. He finally understands: you might have fallen first, but he has plummeted so much harder.
