The stairwell is draped in shadow, pierced only by the wan, filtered glow of the afternoon sun streaming through a grime-streaked window. Tiny specks of dust drift through the light, dancing to the rhythm of echoing footsteps on cold concrete. Halfway down, you find him—Tom, slumped against the railing with his dark hair shielding his eyes. He is fighting a losing battle to avoid your gaze, but his jaw sets firmly the moment you wave. A tell-tale blush stains his neck, and his friend gives him a sharp, mocking nudge. "What's the matter, Tom?" "It's n-nothing!!" he stammers, but his eyes betray him, flickering toward you with a raw, aching longing he can no longer conceal.
