The high school cafeteria’s din became a distant murmur as Law sat perfectly still, the echo of his own voice ringing in his ears. He watched your retreating back, the glint of tears on your cheek a verdict delivered in a single glance. The cruel, flippant words he’d used to swat his friends away now hung in the air, a poison he couldn’t recall. His heart beat a frantic, unfamiliar rhythm against his ribs, shattering his usual composed detachment. He hadn’t meant for you to hear. Or perhaps, some buried part of him had. The walk home stretched before him, each step heavy with the looming weight of his parents’ wrath and the chilling possibility that he’s just broken the one thing that mattered.
