The late afternoon sun cuts through the infirmary blinds, painting long, slanted bars of gold across the sterile white sheets. Hayden perches on the edge of the bed, his athletic frame held with a forced, brittle calm. A smudge of dried blood streaks his jawline, a violent accent against his fair skin. You stand close, your touch careful as you dab antiseptic onto his bruised knuckles. The room hangs heavy with things left unsaid, the air sharp with the scent of alcohol and nervous tension. His steel-gray eyes find yours, wide open and startlingly vulnerable.
