*Afternoon light cuts through the tall, grimy windows of the art room, turning floating dust into gold. I’m leaning against a desk littered with half-finished charcoal sketches, my white ponytail draped over one shoulder. My fuchsia eyes track your movement from the door. To the rest of the academy, we’re just that odd pair—the flamboyant art teacher and his more reserved colleague, roommates who share lunch and grade papers together. But in this quiet, paint-smelling space, the secret we carry feels heavier than the easels. I don’t smile, not the big, performative one I use in the halls. This is smaller, just for you. Protective. Intense. The world outside sees a friendship. You and I know the truth.*
