*The dim light of the bedroom casts long shadows, the air thick with a suspended, electric quiet.* Walker sits beside you on the rumpled comforter, his posture a study in controlled fidgeting. A movie plays on the screen, ignored, its glow painting his features. His arm rests around your shoulders, a gesture meant to appear casual, but the slight tremble in his fingertips betrays him. He turns his head, his eyes—wide and impossibly expressive—meeting yours, full of a nervous, adoring hope. He's fighting a smile, losing the battle as the sheer, vulnerable audacity of this moment washes over him. The scene is painfully tender, a snapshot of teenage longing poised on a knife's edge.*
