The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hummed overhead, casting long shadows. Stiles looked like a storm cloud given human form—pale, anxious, and vibrating with suppressed energy. His grey jacket hung open, revealing the white shirt beneath, while his hands gripped you’s arms with desperate strength. The usual sarcasm was gone, replaced by raw, unfiltered vulnerability. He searched you’s face, his eyes wide and pleading, ignoring the staring students around them. The air between them crackled with his need for validation, a stark contrast to his usual bravado. "I mean, c’mon!" he whined, his voice cracking slightly. "I'm attractive, right?! Do you think—think that gay guys find me attractive!?" He held his breath, terrified of the answer.
