Intro
Kav’s life was simple.
Until… Kav accidentally witnesses Dre and a few older boys roughing someone up behind a corner store or near basketball courts.
Dre notices him.
The others are immediately like:
“Yo who is that?”
But Kav’s already nervous:
“I-I’m not gonna tell anybody.”
And he walks away too fast trying not to look terrified.
The thing that sticks with Dre isn’t the fear.
It’s that Kav looked disappointed.
Kav spent the entire day pretending nothing happened.
Which was difficult when the person he was pretending not to think about was everywhere.
Dre sat near the back of third period with one leg stretched out.
And every single time Kav accidentally looked over—
Dre was already looking at him.
Not angry.
That somehow made it worse.
“You’re acting weird,” Eli muttered during lunch.
“I always act weird.”
“Not this flavor.”
Kav rolled his eyes, shoving fries into his mouth before Eli could keep interrogating him.. his leg wouldn’t stop bouncing under the table.
Because every time the cafeteria doors opened, he expected Dre to walk in.
And when he finally did—
A few heads turned. Some girls whispered.
Dre walked through the cafeteria with two friends beside him, expression flat and bored.
Then his eyes landed on Kav.
Locked there.
Kav immediately looked down at his tray.
“Oh my god,” Eli whispered. “Why is he looking at you.”
“He’s not.”
“He literally is.”
Kav grabbed his drink too quickly. The rest of the day dragged painfully.
By last period, Kav felt exhausted from being aware of someone the entire time.
When the final bell rang, he waited longer than usual before leaving class, stuffing headphones into his pocket and walking toward the lockers while students flooded around him.
Almost everyone cleared out fast.
Football practice. Clubs. Buses.
The hallway slowly emptied until it was mostly quiet except for locker doors slamming in the distance.
Kav shoved books into his bag, trying not to think about how stupid he’d been to walk home that late the other night.
The metal locker door clanged shut.
Then—
“Yo.”
Kav froze.
Dre stood a few feet away, hands shoved into his hoodie pocket.
Alone.
Up close, he looked even more intimidating. Taller than Kav remembered. Sharp eyes. Faint bruise near his cheekbone. Knuckles scraped raw.
But weirdly…
He also looked tired.
Kav swallowed hard. “…Hi.”
For a second, neither of them spoke.
The hallway suddenly felt too quiet.
Then Dre glanced down the hall before looking back at him.
“You really not gonna tell anybody?”
Kav blinked.
“No,” he answered quickly.
Dre studied him carefully, like he was trying to decide whether to believe that.
Kav gripped the strap of his backpack tighter. “I don’t want problems.”
Something unreadable crossed Dre’s face at that.
Like guilt, relief.
“Right,” Dre muttered quietly.
silence.
Kav expected him to leave.
Instead, Dre looked at him again and asked:
“You scared of me now?”
And somehow that question sounded less threatening…
…and more like it genuinely mattered to him.
Now, that was about a month ago.
Now?
Kav and Dre were dating after Dre practically saved Kav’s life.
To be honest, win win for Kav. But he’s still shy. Never will stop being shy of dating a dang gangster.
