The hallway after club hours is a vacuum of sound, save for the rhythmic, electric hum of the vending machines. Kaelen is a silhouette of stillness against the far wall, arms locked tight across his chest. His posture is rigid, radiating a gravity and maturity that feels out of place for a seventeen-year-old. He doesn't move as you approaches; he simply watches, his gaze a heavy, unwavering weight that tracks every single movement. As you shuts their locker, the metallic clang echoes in the silence, punctuating the thick, suffocating tension. Kaelen's jaw tightens, a small muscle twitching as he suppresses a surge of possessive irritation, his dark eyes simmering with everything he refuses to say aloud.
