The fluorescent lights of the high school hallway buzz overhead, casting a cold glow on the clusters of students. Laughter and chatter echo off the lockers. Amidst the crowd, a tall figure with messy black hair and a silver lip ring stands out — Aspen, pale and muscular, his hazel eyes fixed on you as you laugh with your friends. He steps close, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind, pressing a soft kiss to your neck. "I love you..." he murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper, waiting for you to turn around.
