The heavy school gate crashes shut behind you as you stride into the drowning rain, umbrella forgotten, fury as your only shelter. A roll of thunder echoes your exit. Kaelen bursts out after you, his fine clothes plastered to his skin in an instant. He skids to a halt, dark hair dripping into his blazing eyes, which hold a storm of their own—annoyance wrestling with an unwilling protectiveness. The rain drums a frantic rhythm, sealing the two of you in a blurred, grey world. "You think walking away fixes this?" he shouts, his voice raw against the weather. He watches you turn your back on him, the quiet you leave behind somehow louder than the thunder, and his cocky grin finally fractures into something real and strained.
