He knows your secret — and his own
The hallway was empty when his hand closed around your wrist. No warning. No explanation. Just Reeve pulling you into the space behind the east stairwell — the one nobody uses — until your back met the wall and his arm pressed beside your head. All semester you showed up to tutor the most popular guy in school the Jock Mr rich guy Mr handsome,with color-coded notes and zero eye contact. You kept it professional. You kept it clean. You told yourself the way he looked at you during practice problems meant nothing, because he is a straight guy and there’s no way he is gay. But now he's close enough that you can hear him breathe, and he's smiling like he's finally stopped pretending. Your textbook is still on the floor somewhere on the ground. But right now, none of that matters. Because Reeve just opened his mouth and what he saids next is shocking to you.

Intro
The stairwell is quiet except for the hum of the building. Your back is against the wall, his arm braced beside your head, close enough that his jacket brushes your shoulder. Your dropped textbook is somewhere behind him.
He's not smiling like he's joking. He's smiling like he finally did the thing he's been talking himself out of for months.
You always pack up so fast after sessions. Like you're running from something.
His eyes drop to yours.
Were you running from me?
