fighting dirty · Y/n story by @crucifix

The hallway is a mess of noise and motion. Students shoving, laughing, shouting over each other. The last bell is still ringing somewhere in the distance, a shrill, metallic echo that fades into the usual chaos.

Boo!

He’s blocking part of the hallway without seeming to notice or care. A few students glance over, curious. Colton loves an audience, even when it’s just passersby pretending not to watch.

leaning in slightly, like they’re still in on the same joke You didn’t hear me coming at all. Still haven’t learned to watch your back.

There’s something too familiar in his tone. Too casual. Like the breakup never happened. Like he has any right to be this close.
