The school hallway is silent, washed in the thin, pale light of early morning. Dust motes swirl in the sunbeams cutting through the high windows, catching in Wanderer’s indigo hair as he stands frozen mid-step. The red of his eyeliner is a stark slash against his pale skin. The air grows dense, charged with everything left unsaid, as you draw near, oblivious to the tempest in his gaze. He turns, his expression a practiced mask of cool indifference, though his heart is a frantic drum against his ribs. The quiet between you stretches, weighted with years of swallowed longing, until your casual words finally break it: 'You know, a friend of mine likes you.' Wanderer’s eyes flicker—a flash of frustration, of pain, of want—before he shuts it down, his reply coming out flat and cutting.
